Côte Quakers Friars

Went for brunch. Nice food and gluten free options. Friendly staff and great service. Asked for water and was provided it within a minute, which is the first time this has happened in a long time, I normally have to ask again in restaurants. Good breakfast offer. We'll certainly be going back. Lovely outside seating area.

During our two-night stay in Bristol, we chose Côte Quakers Friars for one of our dinners—and let me tell you, we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed, and the experience only got better from there. First and foremost, a huge thank you to everyone in the kitchen. Their attention to detail, especially regarding allergens, was truly impressive. One of us has celiac disease, and Côte’s extensive menu made sure we had plenty of gluten-free options to choose from. We started with the Cheese Soufflé and Seared Scallops—both were excellent, but if we had to pick a favorite, the Cheese Soufflé would win hands down. We expected it to be heavy, but it was surprisingly light. For mains, we went with the Confit Duck à l’Orange, Sirloin Steak Deluxe, and Côte Burger (the burger is not gluten-free). All three were flavorful, but the duck and steak were outstanding—if you’re reading this and planning a visit, I’d highly recommend those! On the side, we ordered Crispy Confit Potatoes and Green Salad. The salad was so fresh and delicious that we all agreed—next time, everyone’s getting their own! And yes, there will be a next time for sure. Now, let’s talk about the real stars of the night: the desserts. Whatever you do, don’t leave without trying one (or all) of them! We indulged in the Passion Fruit & Lime Leaf Crème Brûlée, Crème Caramel Royal, and Chocolate Mousse—each was so divine that we couldn’t pick a favorite. In fact, we’ve already decided that next time, we’re ordering them all again! A special shoutout to the lovely lady who greeted us at the door and the gentleman who served us—both were incredibly friendly and professional. The service was top-notch, making the entire evening even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for amazing food, excellent service, and a dining experience that’s worth every penny, Côte Quakers Friars is the place to be. Don’t miss it!

Always love going to this place. I’m gluten intolerant and the amount of choice is amazing. And amazing value for money.
