Tributes have been paid to South Bristol’s legendary cafe owner George Zographou, who has passed away.
George’s Cafe, in East Street, has become a Bedminster institution since the Greek-Cypriot first opened the cafe in early 1970. His family and friends are now inviting the people of South Bristol to gather outside the cafe next week for a farewell.
After setting up the cafe in early 1970, it soon gained a reputation for serving up affordable and hearty meals. The popular venue managed to survive four recessions, the closing of the tobacco factories and the transformation of East Street over four decades.
