Bulrush

We are a neighbourhood restaurant based in Cotham, Bristol serving imaginative modern British food. Stopping by is always encouraged!

Our food changes with the season, and is inspired by Japanese techniques and New Nordic traditions. Most of all, we favour substance over style and developing the flavours and textures to celebrate the produce the West has to offer. Our "Bar Bulrush" sits at the back of the restaurant, where we offer a range of cocktails and other drinks to keep the dark nights warm.

Just a few highlights of an incredible meal had at The Ledbury. I was fortunate enough to eat for the third time since they won their first star on the night following their win at the National Restaurant Awards and it’s clear the dedication, talent and passion coming from the entire team. They are truly deserving of all their success and create an epically inspiring, unforgettable dining experience. Massive congratulations to Brett, and the entire team, and thank you for your incredible hospitality. Can’t wait to come back.
