About

With lovely views overlooking the river from the balcony and terrace, Riverstation is one of the finest waterfront restaurants in Bristol.

Open from 11am daily and from 10am on weekends, you can enjoy brunch through to dinner in the ground floor Pontoon bar. Think chilled vibes and a lounge feel through the day, with more upbeat tunes and a night time buzz for dinner and cocktail experiences.

The first floor restaurant offers alfresco dining on its sweeping balcony and lunch is served daily from 11am. Think fresh fish, vegetarian and vegan dishes, as well as locally sourced seasonal meats.

Whether by ferry, train or by stumbling across this wonderful restaurant on a lazy stroll along the river, you will not be disappointed.
