Mud Dock40 The Grove, Bristol, United KingdomWeb: Visit this site » Winner of Cafe of the Year in 1998, this unique place is a bike shop downstairs and an acclaimed cafe-bar upstairs. Check out the industrial-style decor, complete with bikes hanging from the ceiling, and try to bag one of the best seats - by the enormous round window or on the roof terrace, boasting wonderful views over the docks. During the day it's fairly quiet (except at weekends) and mellow, getting louder and busier at nights, when it becomes full of Bristol's beautiful young things, and there's the occasional DJ set. A great place for a leisurely breakfast, lunch or evening meal, there's a tapas menu, snacks and main meals, all inspired by Mediterranean flavours. It's good quality, if slightly overpriced and service can be painfully slow. There's also a fully licensed bar (beware, all spirits are only served in doubles!), coffees, teas, juices and probably the best hot chocolate in Bristol.

“Spent most of my life traveling the globe, eating at a variety of places and this place is right up there. Happy taking customers there - food always excellent and extremely good value.”

“We have been to Mud Dock plenty of times before, and in the past have had good experiences. Before I would always recommend this venue to friends and family. Yesterday we had family down, so decided to take them to Mud Dock for a meal and a few drinks. We noticed that none of the tables were big enough for our group, so proceeded to move 2 tables closer together. Immediately a blond polish waitress appeared and started shouting at us, telling us to move the tables back now!, and never ever move tables closer together! I was pretty gob smacked, and almost couldnt believe she was being serious, as Ive not been spoken to in such a manor for many years. In-fact the last time I was spoken to like this was when I was given detention at school. We explained that the tables were out of the way, and that our group wanted to sit together. She just reiterated what she said shouting at us as if we had just done something illegal. Needless to say we all left with a very sour taste in our mouths, and are very unlikely to return again. Mud Docks customer service has obviously drastically gone down hill in recent months. Thanks to her attitude she lost Mud Dock our custom and I advice everyone to give this venue a miss until they train staff the fine art of customer service.”

“Bar man took his time chatting before serving me and the waitress avoided me when I pointed out my order wasn't what I ordered. The food was nice enough, but it would have been nicer to have eaten what I had ordered from the menu.”

“What is the best thing about Mud Dock? It has to be atmosphere. Laid back, warm and friendly. That and its superb location overlooking the water and is a stone-throw from the centre of town. Oh, and the bike shop down stairs, the influence of which can be seen throughout the building with bikes hanging from the rafters of the cafe and pictures of Lance Armstrong in the toilets. The food is rather good too. From great-value breakfasts and lunches through to an eclectic evening menu with a strong Mediterranean influence. Visit in the morning and go back again in the evening for two very different takes on the same theme. We love the place, but we are lucky as we are pretty local, so we can go there on a regular basis. If you are just visiting the area, if you miss Mud Dock you miss something that really does sum up what Bristol is all about.” 2 of 5 people found this review helpful.Popular Restraurants in BristolView all restaurants in Bristol
