First time in the New Porto Lounge. Really impressed. Good food, excellent provision for gluten free, lots of space and very relaxing. Thank you so much.
Amazing that they have gluten free, but does feel like they've lost a bit of their spark.
Been going down a couple of times a year, and seems to be less impressive food. Food was nothing special, which is a shame considering the cost. Also, when asked how everything was, I said the soft drinks needed checking as the lemonade was just soda, they did apologise but didn't change the drink (id only had a sip) and nothing was taken off the bill. Perhaps I should have been clearer on my expectations. That being said it's a shame it wasn't quite up to scratch as it used to be a real gem.
I have been to the Salt & Malt in Bristol centre and this had a much better feel and different menu options.
I’m not a bad review type person, but I think it’s necessary. I’ve seen a lot of reviews on here about how nice and lovely the food was and I feel like they’re either being super generous, or they’re a bit delusional and probably have very disposable income. The few I’ve seen regarding the price for what is given in my opinion are most honest. I bought a “Buddha bowl” which I asked for a poached egg with (for an extra £1.25), came to just under £15, to which when it came was practically an empty plate, full of Tescos finest hummus… mmm yaaay!
literally, just a whole bottom layer of pure hummous.. from probably Tesco, (you can tell) with “roasted aubergine & squash” sprinkled on the top, giving the illusion there’s something to dive into. No, it’s definitely just hummus… just Tesco bought hummous. A whole yummy bowl of it, To Then be given ONE SLICE of (coop’s fossilised gluten free bread) CUT INTO THREE FINGER slices. WHAT? Absolute piss take. “Buddha bowl” you know,imagine?.. If Buddha ate that, he’d be Ghandi.
But wait, There’s more..
When I asked for just a little more bread to go with my mousse, I was told it would cost an extra £2.15 .. oh nice. If I wanted another rationed dry toasted finger slice of gluten free co cop branded crackers, I should pay for it. Sweet. Gotcha..
Maybe I should’ve got another egg, it’s cheaper.
Then in all the madness, besides my 3 thin slices of flavourless avocado, was the juicy “red cabbage salad” about literally 7 shreds (I’m not exaggerating at all), of cabbage and a chunk of core. Right there, I saw it, with my eyes, not even hiding. Just outrageous. What do they do measure it in milligrams?
I told the girls behind the counter and we agreed on the audacity, however no refund was offered. I guess I’d gone too far to ask for money back once I dived into the lake of deception. Assuming I was getting a mouthful of aubergine. She noted my complaint, reasoned & said she’d mention it to the head chef, who I think should rather consider converting to a shakes and smoothies lounge, because thankfully the smoothie was one of the best I’ve had in a long time.
Service for me was decent, nice girls, accommodating energy and the sofa was comfy.. but food prices/quality deserves a slap.
Impero Lounge is right on the High Street in the heart of Portishead, perfect to stop in before a jaunt around the harbour. They’re on a corner with huge floor-to-ceiling windows (that open right up) wrapped around two sides, flooding the vaulted interiors with light. There’s a lovely terrace out the front too, perfect for watching the world go by.
They’ve a fantastic range of food and drinks (including full kids, gluten-free and vegan menus) served in this relaxed, welcoming space. Look out for their mural celebrating Portishead’s old power station and lighthouse. Which is apt, as they’re a bit of a powerhouse and a shining beacon for the hungry and thirsty people of Portishead.
Brilliant independent cafe/bar! Great selection of food and drink and can cater for most allergies. They had a great selection of Gluten-free food and cakes!
There is a baby changing room in the ladies bathroom, in the end cubicle (FYI)
Dog friendly and good atmosphere. Well worth a visit! Can recommend booking if you can to guarantee a space!
A great Sunday roast! I have coeliac disease so eating out can be a challenge sometimes. However, not here. As soon as we walked in and explained I was coeliac the person that met us went straight into the kitchen to find out what I could/couldn't have. Then went our waitress took our order she explained that her brother had coeliac disease which was so reassuring and she also explained that the kitchen staff were cleaning everything down. Brilliant service, thank you! The food was lovely, would absolutely recommend
Very disappointed. I had phoned on Friday to reserve a table for Saturday and specifically asked if they could have a gluten free pizza base (I’m Coeliac) I was told that one would definitely be available. It also states on the menu gf pizza base available. When we got there no table had been reserved although it wasn’t busy. They did not have any gf pizza bases. They said the burgers were gf but they didn’t have any gf buns!! My reservation was in the diary but not the gf pizza request. At this point we left without having anything to eat. Since the menu has been changed it’s nowhere near as good as it was. May go in for a coffee but won’t be eating there again 😔
Consistent excellent. Trinity and Kate were amazing. It was my mums 84th birthday and wow did she get spoiled and trinity was so kind, engaging and helpful. I’ve eaten here a few times and the food is consistently excellent. Im also coeliac and know I’m safe.
THE BEST BREAKFAST PLACE IN BRISTOL!! I could rave about this place all day long and write a 5000 word essay about how good this place is. From the most friendliest staff that are genuinely happy to be there (which is rare in hospitality) and always finding a way to struck up a positive conversation, to the atmosphere the place has. Nectar house has such an incredible atmosphere so cosy and hippie dippie I LOVE IT. Now to the best part of all……. THE FOOD OMG THE FOOD. The breakfast slays so hard it always come out Micheline Star level. If I was sentenced to death my last meal would be here without a second thought. Big portions and variety of foods. So accommodating to all diets: vegan, veggie, meat, gluten free. Oh and the owner is so wonderful. Polish owner of the year awards, so friendly and always makes sure to say hello to the regulars. This place is sick and twisted because I fight the urge to go there and spend all my money everyday.
I normally have a great experience here, and the staff are always really friendly. But this evening, unfortunately, I didn't. Tonight my gluten free pizza was cooked for too long, so it was quite cardboard-like and the eton mess for dessert tasted, well, weird! It almost tasted like someone had added perfume to it?!
I have to say though, staff were great and took the feedback with civility. They were very good!
We normally go to eat before a show in the wardrobe theatre, and I'm sure we will again, we may just think for a minute before we do.
Really good food and the burgers were amazing value for money. Fish & chips was also good sized portion. Looking forward to trying a steak soon. Great selection of wine, beer and gin and a lovely looking beer garden. Had quite a few gluten free options on the menu too.
I love the Albion! Been here for food a few times (and I’m gluten free) and it’s always lovely.
The staff are really accommodating and the fairy lights inside are so cute. They have a lot of options to drink and average price for Clifton/more expensive then other places but the food is good.
I’m gluten free - not celiac though - and they can do a few things gluten free which they can highlight if you ask. I shared 2 gluten free plates with my friend (I’m also pescatarian) so we had gluten free fish and chips which was lovely and gluten free grilled aubergine which was gorgeous.
I’ll attach the menu that we had which was July 2024. We also had the vegan shared platter and it was gorgeous- the vegan chicken wings were lovely and very spicy! Really nice. Would recommend.
Amazing atmosphere and gluten-free options! We loved the breakfast, music, decoration and very kind people working there. Highly recommended by us for kids & adults. Easy reservation online possible.
Great gluten free roast including Yorkshire pudding and gravy as well as cauliflower cheese - just missing the beer to finish it off! Dog friendly and super helpful staff!

Gorgeous food, great service. Very well cared for indeed.
Personal service. Ebony cared for us very well. Despite being busy, she offered great service. She got my salad from the kitchen for me as I'm coeliac, v kind and courteous indeed.
We had a great experience when we visited your Cheswick village cafe for brunch last week. We were attended to by a super waitress called Ruby who was very professional and friendly and immediately found us a booth. She was helpful and flexible with one of our party's gluten and dairy allergies. The food and service were both excellent. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Lovely pub. The staff were very helpful and accommodated a gluten intolerance happily. The dining room is a good space to be able to eat with children.
The best vegan and gluten free breakfast I've ever had. Absolutely delicious. My partner had the Turkish eggs which he said were awesome too. Can't wait to go back
I stayed round the corner from Burra and visited three times over a four day period. As a coeliac I can honestly say this was the best I have ever been served in terms of concern over what I could eat (plenty of options) and how the kitchen would prepare my order. It is so unusual and very much appreciated. The food was delicious and all the staff very helpful and attentive, Giani in particular was so helpful and friendly towards our group and he definitely deserves a special mention. Thank you and I hope to return one day!
Had a fantastic meal here last night with three friends. The staff were super friendly, the atmosphere was cosy, and there were some great choices on the menu including vegan and gluten-free options. It was my first time at The Bowl Inn but it won't be the last!
I've been going to this place for years mainly for lunch, but recently went for Sunday Breakfast, all five of us had Different dishes and everything was great, you'd be hard pressed to find a better quality Full English and for my Son who's Gluten intolerant they concocted and amazing roast Pork with corn Bread and lots of tasty trimmings, good service, really friendly Staff and big enough to easily accommodate a party of six...... Coffees decent too......
First time coming here, the door host was lovely and efficient.
We were then seated and the waiter Nick came over straight away. He was so polite and genuinely happy, he could not of been more helpful. He’s attitude and mannerism made our experience very special.
I have an allergy so he got the manager Cameron to come over and take my order, who then explained the process and preparation of the food. Which was lovely, it made me feel confident and at ease eating here.
My partner had steak with he’s food and said it was very tasty. My food was delicious and came out so fast.
We was so pleased with the food and service received.
My only critique would be to have gluten free sauces readily available on the table with the others.
Fab for gluten free! —GF Sunday roasts and GF fish and chips are not to be missed. All but 1 option for the roasts were gluten free and all the traditional sides are GF (they make a gf Yorkshire) so you don’t miss out on anything! Save room for pudding too. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. A fave spot in Clifton and the regular menu also had a lot of gfo if you go another day. Do book ahead to make sure you get a table
As someone who now has to eat gluten free I judge a place by their accommodations and black castle was one of the worst. An undercooked jacket potato is not in any universe the same as chips and if you're going to subject me to that at least give me sufficient butter to moisten your poorly cooked jacket potato
The gammon was tough as hell and the "fried" onions were lightly heated by the looks of things.
The coke which cost over £3 for what equates to about 50p of soda wasn't even filled to the top of the pint glass.
This place used to be good but has gone downhill and I dread to think how poor my food would have been if they were busy. I'm not shocked that they were almost empty on a bank holiday with the high prices and poor quality food

Asked about allergens before we waited 20 minutes outside for a table with my heavily pregnant partner. They assured us they could cater for both gluten and sulphite allergies.
After a long wait we sat down ordered two drinks. Pregnant partner ordered an alcohol free beer and staff instead served her an alcoholic one which is completely unacceptable.
When we came to order, they then informed us that nothing on the menu was suitable for a sulphite allergy and we couldn’t actually eat there at all!
So we waited nearly 40 minutes in total to be told we couldn’t eat at this restaurant. So we needed to go somewhere else to eat. My pregnant partner was already hungry before we waited 40 minutes to be served.
Then to make matters worse, the guy serving us (who claimed to be the manager/owner) and was extremely unprofessional. Told us essentially tough luck and here is the bill for the drinks… we wouldn’t have waited 40 minutes and sat down at all if your staff didn’t tell us it was ok for our allergies. You should be hugely ashamed for your service today. We won’t be returning. Allergens should be at the forefront of your business followed by decency and customer service. Today none of these things happened.
Because your response has purposefully tried to manipulate the narrative of our visit, I would like to clarify; The only bad behaviour came from the manager, he was extremely rude and abusive in how he spoke to us and the language he used. And clearly this restaurant instead of taking this feedback seriously has tried to deflect the narrative instead of taking responsibility for the failings detailed.
This is not a safe place to eat if you have any allergens.
Great roasts for a 60th birthday meal. Everyone loved their meals. Gluten and dairy allergy requirements were handled really well. Members of staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice coffee too.

Very tasty vegan pizza and very nice staff. The place is very clean and is playing music as well, we got Greek playlist :). Th can also do gluten free.
Went here today and the food was INCREDIBLE- had the scrambled tofu on toast with tempeh and it's the best scrambled tofu I've ever had! I come here often and the cakes are just amazing as well, so many gluten free options and they change on a regular basis- yum yum yum!
I met my friend at Tesoro Lounge today. Very happy to see a whole menu with lots of choice of gluten free meals. The service was great and the food was delicious. When I went to pay for my drinks and pudding I was told it was on the house as a random act of kindness! This totally made my day!
We had a really great meal. The staff were friendly and the food was lovely. We're a bit awkward (I'm gluten-free, my wife is vegetarian) but we were both well catered for. Bonus points for having a proper gluten-free beer (Arbor Mosaic)!
Good pub, seating outside is a little rickety and tight together but some great beers on tap at reasonable enough prices for fancied up IPAs etc (5-6.50£). Also nice they have some gluten-free ales!
This had got to be one of my favorite places to eat in Bristol. Incredibly tasty food and great for gluten free diners. Complex and delicate flavors, hearty, but not too heavy.
Excellent service from staff very friendly plenty of gluten free food and very tasty would definitely recommend cocktails are lush to we had sex on beach very fruity and refreshing
My partner and I went there yesterday for a nice meal out. We had anything but. She is coeliac and ordered from the NGCI menu. The starters were passable but that’s where it ended the mains we both went for signature burgers. There was one small slither of bacon, almost no brisket and cremated burger patties that were almost inedible. The drinks we ordered were served in dirty glasses that were leaving white marks all over the table. It was massively overpriced at around £50 with 30% off mains!
At some point throughout this my partner was glutened, either from carelessness or dirty crockery and now has to deal with this for the next week of recovering.
Absolutely avoid, no where near acceptable for the price and I wouldn’t risk it if you have food allergies/intolerances.

Visited a few times now and always had a fantastic service, so much so that booked for a recent work event catering.
The sandwiches were so fresh, full of flavour and so many options. The portions were HUGE and there were some very happy and full stomach's!
The gluten free option was superb- really felt like it was the same as everyone else's with soft bread and great selection of fillings.
Won't hesitate to come back again soon and highly recommend. Thank you guys!
We had another visit today (26/10/23). It’s good that the pub has reopened with a new very friendly landlord. The menu is quite small but the food and drinks were good. Well worth a visit
Previous visit spring 2023
We visited on a Thursday lunch time to find new owners who had recently taken over the pub. Both were very friendly. It’s a small menu with a few specials but the food is good and most is either gluten free or low gluten. The lamb cutlets were delicious as were the home made puddings. It’s not far from Bristol, in a good place for interesting walks and has ample parking.
Celiac friendly
