Amazing food! The servers were extremely helpful with my sisters gluten and dairy allergy and she was able to eat here. Food felt really healthy and fresh. Took a while for the bill to come but overall great experience!

Me and my partner came here and it was my first ever time going to a cosy club. Our waiter Adrien was very attentive and kind, but all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Our service was excellent, our drinks were lovely and the food was incredible. I have a gluten intolerance and was very content with the selection. They also have vegan options too. We came in for lunch the next day as well and the brunch menu was also delightful. Basically, if you want a lovely vibe in a beautiful historical building for a casual setting? This is the place. Highly recommend!

Visit @the_bath_foodie on insta for more Bath & Bristol restaurant pictures, videos and info! I’ve visited Mowgli a few times in Bristol and Oxford and the food is always amazing, however, I’ve found that the service can really let it down. Food wise, a great selection of Incredibly delicious small plates and larger plates are available, with some brilliant vegetarian and gluten free options. The sharing deals are great value and honestly include some of the best curries I’ve ever tasted. However, on more then one occasion I’ve found the member of staff who has greeted us to seem really miserable and unhappy to be there, which doesn’t set you off to a great start. During my most recent visit, we had to wait a while for our booked table to be free, and then once we were sat down it took a good half an hour before we were able to order as the staff were soo rushed. Once we had ordered, our drinks took about 40mins to arrive. We chose the set menus where you get starters, some curries to share and then a desert. The food was great but when we got to the desert there was only one available, and then they obviously needed our table back as we were actually given our bill before our deserts had even arrived. This made us feel really rushed and uncomfortable, which is a real shame as I had brought visiting family over from Bath just to go to the restaurant. To add salt to the wound a £15 service charge had been added to the bill! We apologised to the waitress and said we wouldn’t pay the service for the aforementioned reasons and she told us it was because they had more bookings then they could cope with and they were ridiculously busy. So, to summarise, great food and a really beautiful setting but too busy resulting in stressed out staff and a rushed experience!

You can rely on the food at Bella Italia, including gluten-free and milk-free options. Lovely meal in nice surroundings. Staff great, though over-worked.

Sean Edwards

The food and service here is fantastic. My mother is celiac and here gluten free menu was fantastic some of the best gf pasta she has had (you do need to give them 24 hours notice for the gluten free pasta options as they make it fresh on the day) Highly recommend a visit!

We came here for our 1st wedding anniversary celebration. We booked well in advance and asked for a nice table for the special occasion, unfortunately this did not happen. We were on a rubbish table right next to the toilet, which was a shame. There were some lovely tables in the restaurant with nice views, romantic booths etc, however I do not believe the staff read our comment on booking and did not ensure we received a special table, which was disappointing. I wouldn’t come here again for a really special occasion, but would happily come for general dinner, or with friends etc. Food was really good and tasty, especially the salad which came with the shish (although it is slightly overpriced), food came out quickly. Staff were great and were also very good with allergies, gluten/dairy etc. The decoration was lovely and overall we had a nice time.

I popped in here for lunch with a friend. We wanted something different from the usual pub grub. This place is amazing, it is located underground in an arch, apparently at one time it was a wine vault. We hd the set lunch menu for 9.99 - 6 starters and a main with rice, superb value. The food was really tasty and the service was spot on! My friend has a dairy allergy and is gluten intolerant - this did not phase them and they swopped a few items around so she didn’t miss out. The Lebanese lager was delicious s well! Would highly recommend!

Andy Childs

Really good range of beers including gluten-free options

Justin Carter

Pies are great but they shouldn’t advertise Gluten Free hot or cold when all you have is cold.....also asked for smokey beans as it’s on the board and you get a “sorry mate we stopped those three months ago”.....well take it off the board then...good pies, poor service.

I think this may be the only hotel in Bristol I'll stay in now! Beautifully decorated, super friendly and smiley staff who immediately stopped conversation with co-workers the minute we appeared which made us feel special! The room is big, the shower and bath too! The water pressure on the main shower wasn't great but the hand held one was fantastic. We had a plug malfunction, thought we were just being stupid but reception were fantastic in making sure we didn't feel silly & immediately sent maintenance up and less than half an hour later we had a new plug for the bath! We didn't have enough pillows but they were more than happy to accommodate and send more (but that's personal preference, you get your standard 2 pillows per person). Now, the breakfast...yes, it's your standard buffet BUT they have so many gluten free & dairy free/vegan options which was wonderful for my friend, instead of sticking to just fruit she could have a lot...including coffee with plant based milk!!! We were really really impressed & 100% recommend staying here - plus the streets outside are quiet so that's a bonus!

We needed a place for a snack after the Old Vic.....but we are now a party of 35, the team were happy to book us in and gave us a very spacious area to spread out. The staff did not falter and were so unbelievably friendly to us all. We had a lot of kids but they understood completely bringing extra ketchup, bottles of squash and colouring materials. They could not have been more attentive. We went for the Pizza Platters that were VERY reasonably priced. They were also able to help us out on gluten free options with ease. Brilliant. I would certainly come here again and now desperate to try the Sunday roast! Hope we can come again next year after the Xmas show opposite! Thanks again for all your kindness, Merry Christmas 🎄

Lovely atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Food is delicious. Menu isn't huge like a lot of places but it's quality not quantity here. That said, the portions are a good size. Good allergy knowledge (coeliac) and so good to be able to have the poppadoms as they are gluten free.

Elaine Wilson

I went for a superb unlimited cooked breakfast this morning. Service with a smile from Conor, especially to my multiple requests (such as gluten free toast). Absolutely perfect poached eggs from Flo the chef - I would go back just for them.

Andy Childs

Advertised gluten-free pizza options but unfortunately didn't have any available.

Victoria Hannant

Absolutely delicious! Gluten free options and just stunning food.

Husan looked after us brilliantly; really appreciated his knowledge of the menu and make a recommendation for my meal (as a dairy and gluten intolerant costumer). Thank you, great food.

Oz Osburn

Friendly staff, breakfast was lovely and catered for my gluten free needs, I definitely recommend it.

Janet Millar

To eat delicious scallops and excellent wine after a day at the gallery... what a treat. They were very careful with my coeliac disease

Kris Britton

Great service, all too keen to accommodate a gluten free diet. They didn’t have any bread in stock, so someone left to go get some for my breakfast, which was greatly appreciated. The staff were so happy, and went the extra mile in contacting me when I’d left something behind. Great experience!

Simone Smith

Absolutely amazing gluten free salmon pasta. The potatoes are so delicious and so is the salad. I love coming to this Italian restaurant . It's also really priced so well!

Catherine Lawson

Can adapt for gluten free breakfast

Badger

Absolutely fantastic! Any meat lovers have to try! Although it might seem expensive it is like no other steak house! Staff were very helpful and knew about all the dietary restrictions (gluten free). Can't wait for the next visit! Also, have the olives, they're delicious!

Catriona MacKenzie

Nice to have a gin, but no gluten free beer.

Stuart Evans

Just had the rare roast beef on gluten free bread and apart from the bread melting which is standard when it touches any condiments it was amazing. I boshed it down in a few minutes. Great quick service I'll definitely be back for more.

Ciarán Carter

Gluten free pancakes available! Tastes just like I remember from holidays in Brittany.

Ayshe Ibrahim

A tasty, healthy breakfast that keeps you going! Had the protein bowl and zatar on flat bread. All really tasty and very filling. Friendly team, good service and lots of options for vegan, gluten and egg free breakfasts.

李善雲

The food was absolutely amazing. As a meat eater, I can’t believe “vegan + gluten free” food can be so tasty. I wouldn’t say it’s authentic Chinese food but it was super tasty. It was very flavourful, well seasoned, perfectly cooked. We all enjoyed it very much. We would love to come to Bristol again just for the food here and try everything on the menu. The staffs are also very friendly. We’ll definitely recommend this restaurant to all our friends and family.

Matthew Batten

Lovely bar that also sells two gluten free beers.

Can my tummy handle this much salt and gluten in one sitting? Absolutely not. Will this stop me eating here? Also absolutely not. Incredible junk food, love it.
