Bravas Bristol

Delicious, simple, Spanish inspired food in an intimate setting. Here is a little about Us:

We are Kieran and Imogen Waite. Why Spanish food?

Bravas, a new, exciting and authentic tapas bar located just off Whiteladies road on Cotham Hill. We are an independent, small, family run tapas bar, with other thriving independent businesses near by. We love food, eating it, cooking it, talking about it and sharing it with people. Hence our long term aim is to be the proud patrons of a string of delightful and different eateries. Imo is a chef,

Check out our new sister restaurant as it develops!

We shared this post on Instagram in November last year, and a lot has happened since then, but we thought we'd start sharing some on here...!

BIG NEWS 🎉 We’re very excited to start sharing our most recent journey…

We’re Kieran & Imogen, you may know us from Bristol restaurants Bravas Bristol, Gambas Tapas Bar, Cargo Cantina & Masa + Mescal.

We’ve finally started work on our new restaurant, Condesa! We’re quite a way off opening (if you can’t tell from the background of this photo!) but we thought it would be fun to bring you along for the journey😀

Ever wondered what it’s really like to open a restaurant? Follow us at Condesa Bristol for all the details; from finding asbestos, to fitting out a kitchen, to menu development & tastings! Let us know what behind the scenes content you want to see!👇

Our Story

At Bravas we serve simple, freshly prepared, high quality Spanish inspired dishes intended to be shared along with a great selection of Spanish wines and ice cold beers in frozen glasses.
At Bravas, we believe it is important to share our success and aid good causes. That is why, every year, we choose a charity to support, raising funds through the sale of one our dishes .

We visit Spain frequently and are always amazed by the fresh, unpretentious, inexpensive food in local tapas bars. This is where the idea for Bravas came from; where customers will feel the welcoming atmosphere of a local pub but the quality of food you would expect in a great restaurant.

A sociable space where people can feel relaxed and at home, coming in alone, with a partner or with friends. The food we offer is tapas, with a menu that changes daily taking advantage of the fresh and seasonal products available, therefore using ingredients that are both at their best and good value.

Bravas is unlike anything else in Bristol! Warm ambient lighting and an open kitchen where people can see, hear and smell their food being cooked. The kitchen is adjacent to and behind the bar with seating running the whole way along, giving people a front row view of the action.
