There are many reasons to love Bristol, but whether its house prices or the cost of a pint, the city isn't often noted for its affordability. But after Michelin released its latest round of awards last week, two restaurants in the city have been ranked amongst the country's 10 most inexpensive fine-dining establishments.
Compiled by Squaremeal, the ranking is based on research by Parkdean Resorts that considers both affordability and reviews to gauge value for money. The celebrated spots range from farm-to-fork food in Monmouthshire to Italian small plates in Glasgow, but Bristol is the only city to put in two appearances on the list.
In total, Bristol has nine Michelin-starred or Bib Gourmand eateries, with a further nine included in the guide. But it is Wilsons on Chandos Road and BOX-E at Wapping Wharf that have come in for extra praise for maintaining an accessible price point and exemplary overall dining experience.
