Five restaurants in Bristol have been highlighted in SquareMeal's top 100 restaurants in the UK. One restaurant - Paca Tapas in Redcliffe - made it into the top ten and was praised for its "refreshingly relaxed" atmosphere and evolving menu inspired by fresh and local ingredients each day.
Grace & Savour in the West Midlands took the top spot for its "idyllic countryside retreat", but second place was awarded to Osip, which dropped from last year's first place. The Somerset restaurant famous for having no menu and for serving its own homegrown produce promises a unique experience less than an hour's drive from Bristol.
In casting its decisions for the guide, SquareMeal said: "It’s some of the old-timers, the classics, that stood out to us most. While you might have already heard of them, we’re here to tell you they’re still at the top of their game and are worth adding to your eating itinerary over the next 12 months."
