Family-owned restaurant Aqua has announced it will be opening a new restaurant concept in Clifton. Aqua Grand Café is launching at the restaurant group's existing site on Whiteladies Road next month.
The first Aqua restaurant was founded in Bristol in 1998 by proprietor Richard Smithson and remains an independent family business. His son and restaurant manager, Ben Smithson, has said the group is promising something "new, exciting and very special" in Bristol, and bringing back some classic dishes to the menu.
In a video shared on the restaurant's Instagram page, Mr Smithson said: "It's a pleasure to bring this new restaurant, this new concept the grand café, to you. We're going to be opening on February 6. It's going to be an exquisite restaurant, a real experience - something I'm very excited and passionate to show you all. I'm looking forward to it, I hope you are too."
