The Ox, Corn Street
The Ox has been a favourite of mine for many years now. I love the ambience of this restaurant, set underground below Corn Street. The simplicity of fantastic steak with sides and loads of lovely red wine makes me very happy. They also have another restaurant on Whiteladies Road in Clifton.
La Sorella
This is my absolute new favourite restaurant in Bristol. It happens to be conveniently located on the doorstep of my studio off Corn Street. What really makes it special is the feel of the place. The staff are super friendly, it smells divine and the intimacy is wonderful. It is also, of course, sister restaurant to Pasta Loco and Pasta Ripiena.
Royce Rolls Café
I love this vegetarian and vegan place for its ease and affordability for a good lunch on the go. Based in St Nicks Market, it was first established in 1979 - this company knows how to get repeat custom for sure. They also support independent businesses themselves, spreading the love around Brizzle.
Tuk Tuck
If I'm craving a takeaway, these guys are my usual go-to. They do quick and delicious Asian food, with great veggie options. Their dishes never disappoint and the red Thai curry is especially to die for.

She is represented by many galleries and shops and has been commissioned by clients such as Conran, Heals and Ohh Deer. Her trademark freehand style is full of characteristic wit and charm.
‘Rubbish Portraits’ is one of her latest concepts - a live art experience that offers very quick, while-you-sit, brilliant brush and ink portraits. They’re not rubbish but actually very good!
