About The Granary Bristol – Restaurant & Bar
On Welsh Back, The Granary Bristol serves as an all-day restaurant with fire-cooked, Persian-inspired dishes, from grilled halloumi and hummus with flat bread to lamb kofta and flat iron steak served with pickled grapes. Fried chicken appears as a recurring starter, and rhubarb tart and chocolate ganache round out the dessert options. The kitchen is open to view, letting diners watch the cooking as it happens, and the dining room displays memorabilia tied to the building's history. Much of the brunch menu is gluten-free, with further vegan and gluten-free choices across the wider menu. Downstairs, Granary Club operates as a basement cocktail bar for late-night drinks and music. A private dining room is available for groups, dogs are welcome in the restaurant, and halal options are served alongside the rest of the menu.

Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the fried chicken as a standout starter, with the lamb kofta close behind as a favorite main, praised for presentation and flavor. Brunch draws particular loyalty, with several highlighting the baked eggs, omelette and gluten-free options alongside coffee described as strong and smooth. Desserts earn notice too, with one rhubarb tart called the best dessert had in some time. Service is consistently described as friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable, with staff able to accommodate dietary needs and offer menu recommendations. A couple of reviewers flag minor stumbles, one felt a chicory and parsley salad overwhelmed a otherwise superb steak, and another found the starters at lunch generously sized but pricing not the cheapest for the area. The open kitchen and dining room decor, including festive touches at one visit, are mentioned warmly. One visit closes on a happy hour Hugo spritz enjoyed alongside a well presented lamb kofta.

“Swerve the average breakfast you'll get served in any of the nearby hotels and come here instead! The lovely dining space is matched by friendly, unfussy service and great quality food. Most of the brunch menu is gluten-free and the coffee is strong and smooth.”

“We had an absolutely lovely meal here today to celebrate our first month of marriage! It was our first time here and we used first table to make a last minute reservation. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with lots of memorabilia about the building and it was a lovely atmosphere to dine in. The food was absolutely delicious, we had 3 courses and each one was beautifully flavoured and presented. The best part for us was the service. We were taken care of by Kiera today who was absolutely lovely, welcoming and so helpful when it came to menu choices! I would definitely recommend dining here for the experience, the tasty food and the absolute warmth of the service!”

“Found another great foodie place in Bristol. The Granary near King Street. Really nice building and interior decor and the staff were very friendly. The baked eggs and omelette were excellent. Would definitely recommend, especially after a few drinks the night before!”

“What an amazing place! Fantastic atmosphere, food was absolutely amazing and staff were a perfect balance of professional and friendly. It was a busy Saturday night and although they had a big party table in, all having food they made sure everyone was served as quickly as possible. It's lovely to sit there and watch all the food being freshly prepared. They were easily able to make amendments to accommodate dietary needs and preferences and had vegan options and lots of gluten-free options too. I love the sustainability and seasonal inputs. The food tasted amazing, like a small party of flavours in every bite. What a fantastic end to a wholesome day. I hope to be back again soon!”
