Eat!

Loosen your belt - belly-busting Bristol is overflowing with gastronomic delights. In fact, from the amount of cafés and restaurants around you might suspect that eating is our favourite activity...which it is.

Got a hangover from hell? Nurse it better with a calorie-injection courtesy of a Hungry Man's Breakfast from Joe's Smokehouse and Diner (168 Whiteladies Road, 0117 923 5530). With home-cured bacon and pancakes to finish off, you'll be too busy thinking about how happy your stomach is with so much protein to worry about your aching head. If it's a roast you're hankering after, then tuck into meat and all the trimmings at The Mall (66 The Mall, 0117 974 5318). For vegetarians who want more than a nut roast, check out Rainbow Nights (10 Waterloo Street, 0117 973 8937), where everything is meat-free. So there you go, there's something in Bristol to please even the pickiest of palates.
