After Pastan opened its new Bristol restaurant along Prince Street on Tuesday night, I wanted to continue my Veganuary adventure and try their plant-based pasta dishes for myself. I was excited to taste the food as the pictures on their website just looked so good, but being a meat and dairy eater I was still apprehensive.
When I first saw the place from the outside, I thought it looked really cute and cosy but seemed a lot smaller than I was expecting. But the size of a restaurant doesn’t mean anything if they can cook some amazing food, as the likes of Tare, Squeezed and others have already proved in Bristol.
Inside I was really taken by how well the space inside had been used. The tables were mainly for two people, but with the possibility to be moved to accommodate larger groups. A small half-booth was situated at the back of the restaurant with a bench seat on one side and a few stools on the other.
