Sophisticated bistro classics
Colourful and friendly dockside venue
This sprawling Harbourside destination serves up great-tasting dishes while keeping one eye on sustainable food practices, responsible energy use and zero waste principles. The staple ingredients on the menus are sourced from the West Country in an effort to minimise food miles. It’s the first eco-restaurant to achieve a gold rating under the Soil Association’s sustainable catering scheme and is winner of the Bristol Hospitality Restaurant of the Year Award.
Located on the floating harbour in Bristol, Glassboat affords spectacular views of the city: bridges, churches and swans on the water.
