Cost of living crisis, what cost of living crisis? The owners of new Bristol steak restaurant Buenasado clearly didn’t get the memo about rising prices, stagnant wages, a looming recession and the possibility of civil unrest.
With the cheapest steak at £16.95 and the most expensive £45.95 - that’s if you don’t include the 16oz or 21oz chateaubriands ‘to share’ at £64.95 and £84.95 respectively - this Clifton steakhouse isn’t within reach of everybody passing the door. In what was previously The Ox before it closed after a serious fire, this is the first Bristol opening for Buenasado, which also has branches in Walton-on-Thames and Reading.
Eagle-eyed Bristol foodies and locals might recognise charming GM Max Bickford as he used to be a butcher at nearby Ruby and White. I’m told there’s also a former chef from the popular and now closed Cowshed in the kitchen so the owners of Buenasado have clearly recruited well.
