Bravas

The quality of the food served here is amazing, with some interesting combinations. There is a friendly atmosphere, and the prices are very. we can happily say that it was well worth the wait! The place is pretty small, so I’d suggest you book in advance if you don’t want to sit at the bar. It’s not cramped, it’s just not a massive place. We weren’t sure what to order, so we had one of everything (bar a few we knew wouldn’t be popular with our group). A lot of people probably wonder what the right number is, but we went for about 3 per person and that worked out well. We enjoyed sharing all the dishes rather than picking our own,
The best bits for us were the aubergine, chorizo and patatas bravas. Everything was delicious, The staff was very friendly and the food was well cooked with a good twist (patatas bravas a good example of this). We’ll definitely return, it was a big hit The prices were extremely reasonable. One of Bristol’s best.

Only heard good things about this place and we booked in advance. It was very booked up so luckily got a space. My expectations were quiet high and was right to be as it was so good.
Went with another couple and sharing all the dishes. Tried lots of different things including chicken livers! But my fav was the alioli butter dip and the fried aburgines. The place was really busy and the staff was really helpful and always around for when u wanted to order another dish considering it was so packed.
Lovely evening overall with great food and wine — glad i finally got to try this place!

I only visited Bristol for a weekend but out of all the places our friends took us to, this is my favorite. It felt like being back in Spain, in some small and intimate spot. Casual and chill, the staff were extremely accommodating when we arrived their after 10pm. The food was incredible. The sauce that accompanied the tortilla was amazing, and every single dish was superb. Please open a place in London!

There aren’t enough adjectives in the English language to explain how much I absolutely love this place and how outstanding the food is!
My girlfriend and I went for the second time on Saturday evening and had such a great time. We ordered 5 dishes between us which worked out perfect. We finished everything but just about crammed the last few mouthfuls.
The stand out dish for both of us was the fried aubergine & molasses; it was insanely good! Long thin strips of battered aubergine with a sweet molasses sauce drizzled all over. The grilled Iberico pork was also really good. Such a lovely cut of meat that you almost wanted to keep in your mouth rather than chew it! I really liked the Chorizo cooked in cider. It came in small, but different sized sausages. Most tapas restaurants I’ve been to before have been small cubes that have been quite chewy, but these were really juicy with so much flavour.
The food comes our really quickly, so if your after a place to sit and chill for an hour or two, then I’d suggest staggering your order.
We sat at the bar which was really nice. The restaurant was really busy with only one or two tables available. It’s quite small so with some background music the atmosphere is really casual but buzzy.
The drinks menu is really good. I love a GnT and they have a full page of gins and the bar staff were more than happy to give me the low down on each. I had one with a sprig of rosemary in and it was delicious and perfectly refreshing for a nice summers day!
Our 5 dishes and 2 drinks came to an extremely reasonable £36.
There isn’t one thing I can fault Bravas on. Huge fan!

I absolutely LOVE tapas and without a shadow of a doubt this is the BEST tapas in Bristol.
The tapas is really authentic but some dishes have a UK twist and it works really well. All the dishes are delicious which makes it really difficult to choose, but I strongly recommend trying the Imberico Pork.
There is also a fantastic wine and sherry list, which is quite expensive but compliments the food perfectly. There’s a good selection of beers too.
To top this off they have a lovely selection of cakes and deserts which are also really difficult to choose from.
The place is small and booking is a must, but it has a great cozy feel to it. The staff are really helpful and friendly and always happy to recommend and tell you more about the dishes.
If you love tapas then go to Bravas!

Outstanding tapas restaurant, that gets everything right!
Firstly, the tapas are deliciously authentic, and at the same time they manage to blend in a few local touches such as chorizo in cider. The menu is fairly extensive, the options for vegetarians are good, and prices are very reasonable compared to other tapas bars in the city.
Firstly, every single tapas we tried was excellent! Not a single weak dish to be found here, they are all ⁵⁄₅. It leaves you with a dilemma as to what to order on your next visit. The drinks selection is nice, the house wine is good, and as well as Spanish beers, there are several local Bristol varieties on offer. The simple deserts work well and taste wonderful; The orange and almond cake is perfection, oh and the coffee is good too. :)
The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and friendly. I would personally recommend eating at the bar. I really enjoyed the décor of the place, very contemporary and cool, yet authentic.
To summarise, i couldn’t recommend this place enough! I will certainly be going back… regularly. ;-)
