Housed in the former Bristol museum, Browns Bristol is a Brasserie-style restaurant found on the outskirts of Clifton Village. Whether you're looking for an elegant spot for your next brunch, or a vibrant backdrop for afterwork drinks, Browns offers a setting for all occasions.
The building is modelled on the Doge’s Palace in Venice, boasting huge arched and circular gothic-like windows, as well as a double height ceiling. The space is accentuated by a beautiful selection of furnishings which range from velvet banquette seating to upholstered leather chairs. Various tones of green are used throughout to create a calming oasis in the heart of the city, with plenty of foliage for added warmth. There’s even an al fresco terrace should the weather allow for a spot of outdoor dining.
Food-wise you can drop in at any time of the day for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. Serving up plates for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as afternoon tea, there really is something for every occasion. Those visiting for brunch can start their day with dishes such as strawberries and cream french toast, smashed avo on toast, and a breakfast brioche packed full of bacon, sausage, and egg. A bottomless version is also available, for those looking to celebrate, allowing you to add free-flowing fizz to your brunch every weekend.
The main menu is packed full of seasonal plates. Start with the likes of baked scallops with chorizo veloute, crispy calamari with aioli or sticky hot honey chicken with coriander yoghurt dip, before moving onto larger plates such as chicken schnitzel with rocket and parmesan, pan-seared duck breast with charred hispi cabbage or risotto verde with asparagus, courgette and basil pesto. Afternoon tea and Sunday roasts are also available, with a children's menu on offer for those looking for a family meal out.
