Bristol Lido

Just had the best breakfast EVER at the Lido. Our waitress Chloe was lovely, and helped me curate a breakfast menu for my allergies (gluten and dairy). We were staying at The Townhouse which we'd highly recommend.

I don’t often write reviews but wanted to shout out the amazing restaurant staff for being so accommodating yesterday. My friend and I went for the swim and lunch package, and the pool and spa facilities were gorgeous as always. I booked online and added a note about my friend’s food intolerances, and the team handled this brilliantly - marking up the menu beforehand with dishes that were gluten and dairy free (or could be adapted to suit her). Our waitress (reddish hair, lovely flicked eyeliner) was so friendly and attentive, and when I had an issue with my starter she was really kind about it and brought out a replacement. I don’t like sending food back and find it a bit anxiety-inducing so only do it if I really have to, but she was very understanding and put me at ease. I should add that I’ve eaten here loads of times and the food is always incredible, so don’t let this put you off. Restaurant chefs are cooking so many dishes on a daily basis, so even the best ones aren’t going to be perfect 100% of the time! The rest of the meal was delicious - my hake was perfectly cooked and I’m glad I kept some bread to mop up the chilli butter at the end. I also highly recommend the vinho verde, which is so refreshing and goes beautifully with fish. Thank you for looking after us, it was a lovely day out :)
