Bristol has scored five mentions in a list celebrating the top 100 local restaurants in the country. The Good Food Guide has been curating a list of the best local restaurants and handing out awards for 13 years to celebrate the places that are the beating heart of communities around Britain.
This year, the guide received more than 37,000 nominations from diners advocating their beloved local haunts and has turned out to be the strongest field of contenders they've ever seen. National and regional winners were also awarded, with Wild Artichokes in Kingsbridge, Devon taking the regional prize for the south west and Tallow in Southborough, Kent, winning the top national prize.
In the extended list, five Bristol restaurants were named in the top 100 best local venues in the country. The Good Food Guide has maintained that the very best restaurants "offer creative, memorable dishes based on high-quality seasonal (and preferably local) produce – in other words, no pretensions or gimmicks".
