Boston Tea Party(Park Street) food not as good as it used to, and I’ve been eating there/drinking their coffee (which is still fab) since they opened. Recently had a really duff meal, wrote to Manager to complain but had no response. With so many good places to eat in Bristol, BTP shouldn’t become complacent. Shame.

[...] high quality Mexican hot chocolate. I’m also keen to try PieMinster. Both places are reviewed here, along with a whole lot more interesting Bristol [...]

All Park, my point with veggie food is that there are still few veggie options that aren’t largely made up of cheese. I wish most places just had a good selection of veggie options rather than the odd dish, generally you need to go to specialist veggie/vegan restaurants for decent options. I think I’ve covered all the main options I know in the centre, I hope I’ve yet to discover some. I’ve yet to check Cafe Kino out, slightly too much of a walk.

HaBumhug, nice name. No, I’ve past Maximillions a few times and never made it in then. I’ll check it out though if you rate it that highlight. Pieminister was in my top 10

No mention of Maximillions – ’tis a crime of epic proportions! Maximillions is certainly in my top 10 lunch time eateries. As is Pieminister, also not mentioned.

I don’t think The Diner it is connected to the one near the Create Centre from what I can tell. I just had a look on Facebook at the book group and it does sound good! Might pop back there this week and find out some more information about it.

Looks like there are a couple of Rocotillos fans out there. I probably ought to check that out – the only time I’ve been there was after quite a heavy night out so the idea of burgers and milkshake wasn’t hugely appealing.

Bristol Bites, glad to hear Magic Roll is open late – personally, I think having places like that makes evenings in the centre much more pleasant – i wish there were more places that you could just meet up with people without going for a proper meal or down the pub. Any word on the Pide?

Hugh, I really like the sound of The Diner at Paintworks. It looks like they haven’t got a website, but they do have a Facebook group. Certainly sounds worth a visit from your description. I don’t suppose it’s got any connection to the diner under the road near the Create Centre? (not sure if that’s still there). I noticed they have a book group for discussing recipe books, I like the sound of that!

Wow, what a great line up of food indeed, it’s made me really hungry just to read it!!! There’s a place I came across the other day, which I personally would have near the top of my top ten, at the Paintworks site called The Diner in two Vintage American Airstream vans, hard to miss when walking along the Bath Road!!! I think it’s one step beyond Rocotillos and whilst it’s still early days for it I can see it really taking off and being a big hit very soon. I tried the bacon cheese burger with gorgeously crispy fries and was later informed (while paying my compliments to the chef) by the charming owner that the burgers are handmade by their local butcher, I’m all for using local produce so was very impressed!!! Their specials sounded delicious and I would have gone for the curry but they’re so popular with the workers on site that they were already sold out by 1 o’clock! Definately a place to go check out if you like decent food and an original, funky dining experience (the dining car is retro 50s design!).
