Three Bristol restaurants open for less than a year have been shortlisted for a national award. Namak in St Werburgh’s, Tomo No Ramen in Old Market and Yafo in Southville have all been included in the ‘Best Restaurant in Bristol’ category of the 4th annual British Restaurant Awards.

Ramen restaurant Tomo No Ramen started life as a pop-up by chef James Stuart at the end of 2021. It is now a permanent business on West Street, Old Market.
Plant-based falafel restaurant Yafo on North Street, Southville, launched at the end of 2021 in a former butchers’ shop. Popular dishes include falafel wraps and shakshuka.
