The Canteen

If your road trip has you cruising through Bristol, make sure to swing by The Canteen in Stokes Croft. This isn’t just a café; it’s a vibrant community hub where the food is as lively as the live music that fills the air. With a menu that’s predominantly vegetarian and vegan, even the most dedicated carnivores might find themselves tempted.

Start with their house-made kimchi—it’s the kind of tangy kick that wakes up your taste buds and says, “Hello, flavour!” Then, dive into the celeriac steak, a hearty dish that’s as satisfying as it is surprising. And don’t even think about leaving without trying the loaded potatoes; they’re the kind of comfort food that makes you want to hug the chef.

The Canteen isn’t just about food; it’s about the experience. With live music setting the mood, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the road. But here’s the thing: it gets busy. So, if you want to snag a seat without a wait, it’s wise to arrive early.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Canteen offers a warm welcome, a menu that caters to all, and an atmosphere that’s as lively as Bristol itself.
