Harts Bakery - Lower Approach Rd
Harts is an artisan bakery working out of a large Victorian railway arch at Temple Meads station with a seating area to watch the bakers at work, baking their specialities of sourdough, handmade pastries and cakes. It’s all about the Sausage Rolls though, they’re to die for!
Chattertons Café - Redcliffe Way
It doesn’t get any closer than this. Once you’ve crossed the road outside DeskLodge House you’re all but there! From freshly made sandwiches (on freshly cut bread!!) to overfilled jacket potatoes Chattertons is a great place to pop out to if you need lunch fast! It won’t break the lunch budget either.
St Nicks Street Food Market – The Corn Exchange, Corn Street

You have a choice from incredible middle eastern wraps made with fresh naan at Matina, some of the best pies in the South-West at Pieminister and the freshest of falafel & salad boxes at Eat-a-Pitta.

Special shout out to the Athenian which does the tastiest gyros in Bristol! This is one of the best places for independent eateries in the city.
Woolly Cactus – Bath Street
Thinking burrito? Then look no further. Fresh, tasty, and on Wriggle every day (£5 for a large burrito and trust us you won’t need an afternoon snack). If burritos aren’t your thing Woolly Cactus has a wide menu of Mexican street food for you to dig your teeth into.
Philpotts – Victoria street

Arc Café – Colston Parade
An awesome project in an awesome location (underneath St. Mary of Redcliffe Church). Arc Café is run in partnership with the Addiction Recovery Agency and they provide a platform for their staff to get back on their feet whilst battling addiction and mental health. Serving up sandwiches, topped jacket potatoes and even a sneaky fry-up if you get their early enough. We love what they’re doing, and the food is great too.
Yurt Lush - Clock Tower Yard
Situated within three interlinked Mongolian-style tents the Yurt Lush café’s menu is based on organic and local ingredients. A little bit more expensive than some of the other options on this list but it’s most definitely worth it as the food is on point and the location is something else!
The Kitchen of Anatonia – Redcliffe roundabout
