Chinese and East Asian
Toro Noodle Bar, Park Street
Chinese, Sichuan cuisine. I never appreciated the mala (numbing) sensation of Sichuan peppercorns before trying Toro. It’s really easy to order and share. The 麻辣香锅 Flavoursome Pot is my go-to! -Emelyn, Graduate Intern
Sai Kung CafĂ©, Nelson Street, City CentreÂ
Chinese- the best roast duck in Bristol. Try the Roast duck rice, and siu yuk (pork belly). – Maths studentÂ
South Asian
4500 Miles from Delhi, Colston Avenue
Indian, Halal, Vegetarian friendly. Consistently good, have ordered multiple times for home parties with friends. Try the Palak Paneer and Bagaray Baingan. – Ning, Graduate Intern
Thali Cafe, St Marks Road, EastonÂ
Indian and tiffin, using mostly local and ethically sourced ingredients. Try the Masala Dosa for breakfast, they also do really good coffee. -Maria, Student Inclusion Officer
European
La Panza, Redcliffe Way
Italian. Cosy atmosphere, great service, amazing food (independent too!). Try the Pasta ai Porcini with Truffle Oil (but the menu changes seasonally) – anonymous
Taka Taka, Queens Road, Broad Quay and Bridewell
Greek food from Corfu – Pita Wraps with Souvlaki or Gyros, traditional Greek Salads, and deserts. I would recommend the Taka Grill. You need a big appetite though! – Alex, Student Inclusion Manager
Sotiris Bakery, Park Row
Greek pies and pastries. There is also a small cafĂ© and deli section where you can buy Greek foods. Try the spinach and feta pie. There is also a vegan version – Carly, Student Inclusion Officer
Vegetarian and vegan
Eat Your Greens, Wells Road, Totterdown
Vegan food and drinks. They have special events, and vegan Sunday roasts which book up in advance. Try the beasty breakfast. – Carly, Student Inclusion Officer
International food shops and markets
168 Oriental, Park Street and Nelson Street, City Centre
Well stocked, usually has all the Asian ingredients that I need – especially bits that major supermarkets don’t carry- 4th year Maths student
