New brunch favourite! 🚨 I get asked about good brunch places a lot, and my go-to favourites are @soukitchenbris, @eatyourgreensbristol, @northststandard @bakersandco and @thegallibristol, but I've got a new one to add to the roster, @masa_and_mezcal! 🌮 This classy Mexican joint on Stokes Croft now opens at 10:30am Mon-Sat (or 11am on Sundays) so you can pop in for brunch/lunch tacos, tostadas, steak and more! I went for the Huevos Mexicanos this time, so got to make my own scrambled egg & chorizo breakfast tacos! I also went for the Mezcal Mary, which had a nice kick of chilli - plus any cocktail garnished with chorizo is a winner for me 👍 Definitely trying the steak and eggs next time! (Also pictured are a few oysters - the @duchess_media team couldn't resist!)

What a fabulous and talented bunch of ladies to call my colleagues - and we can now say that Duchess Media are award winners! 🏆 A special shoutout to Meg & Frankie who founded the company all those years ago, and have worked their bums off to get it to the place it is today. They eat and drink more than anyone else I know (supporting the local independents, right?) but they also work ridiculously long hours and are total perfectionists when it comes to what they do, they are the epitome of living & breathing your job, and loving it in the process. The last 18months of working with them has taught me so much, and I can't wait to pick up more awards with the Duchess ladies! Totally worth the life-ending hangover 🏆🏆🏆🏆 . . . #CrumbsAwards #bristol #bristolfood #bristollove #bristolindies #duchessmedia

[Complimentary meal] I was invited to try the new vegan burger at @flipfoodbristol - it's made with seitan and had a really nice texture (slightly mushier than a meaty burger, but still firm enough to hold its shape after a few bites), it looks just like a regular burger and tasted good too (slightly spiced, and I thought it was made with mushrooms or maybe even aubergine before I was told it was seitan), bonus points for a really nice bun and pickles too! I'd definitely have it again, my first try of a seitan burger and I enjoyed 👍 #ad #invited . . . #flipbristol #bristol #bristolfood #bristolfoodie #eatbristol #foodgram #vegan #veganbristol #bristolvegans #bedminster #southville #bristollunch #wrigglebristol #visitbristol #hellobristol #bristol247 #crumbssnaps #crumbsmag #bristolindies

Ring-a-ding-ding! I booked my table at Bianchi's before it had even opened (yes, I was one of *those* people, and there were 400+ of us apparently), and had to wait a couple of months, but what a lush evening 😊 If you've been to Pasta Loco, Ripiena or La Sorella you'll know the standard of friendly, attentive (but not overbearing) service, the fun and playful vibe, and absolute bang-on quality the family behind these restaurants go for, and they've nailed it again. Tom and I went a bit mad on starters and nibbles (they're not even all pictured, eek) but we were just keen to try as much as possible, and these guys have a knack of writing a menu that you want to order in its entirety (which I actually did once in Ripiena - shout out to my fellow gluttons @megpope260 @carolinepeel and @frankieapples). . Pictured to start are the coppa ham, salt cod & n'duja fritella (although I couldn't taste the n'duja), focaccia and peppered onglet steak tagliati with Ubriaco Rosso & red amaranth (our favourite of the starters, essentially a meatier version of carpaccio with chunks of hard cheese - yes bloody please). . We then shared a pasta course out of sheer fear of being too full for our mains, so had the classic cacio e pepe - it was simple, smooth and comforting with a good whack of black pepper. . For our main course we both had the pork chop with prosciutto and salsa. The chop had a really tasty char on it from grill and the fat was entirely rendered to a crackling-esque crust, yum. The salsa provided a nice but of freshness and acidity. To finish, Tom had a scoop of tasty pistachio gelato and I had the burnt lemon tart (which I enjoyed so much I didn't even photograph, either that or the wine had gone to my head by then). Also shout out to our excellent recommendation from Magda for the bottle of Chilean Chardonnay - it was fantastic! . We spent a fair bit, but then we did go balls out of the bath with our ordering, so that was to be expected. Check the prices on the menu (scroll through) and I think you'll see they're very reasonable and you could spend far less! . . . #bristol #bristolfood #bristolfoodie #bianchis #montpelier #bristollife #bristol247 #crumbssnaps

I've heard great things about @brotherthaiuk for ages, and finally managed to try their wares at @theharboursidemarket. This beef rice bowl was so full of lipsmacking flavour and just the right level of heat for me (they nailed my slightly vague lunchtime request of "a strong medium"). Now I really want to try their roti wraps. The Cardiff lot are so lucky, we only get them visiting once a week or so! . . . #bristol #bristolfood #bristolfoodie #eatbristol #streetfood #bristolmarkets #harboursidemarket #visitbristol #hellobristol #crumbssnaps #crumbsmag #bristolindies #bristollife #bestofbristol

The best end to our fantastic weekend in Cornwall - stopping off at @theponyandtrap for a roast! Gorgeous pub, lush garden (which we had a great view of from our table, scroll through to see the pic) and of course the roast was absolutely spot on, I struggled to finish mine! The wines we tried were also bang on, and they had some great local beers & ciders on tap, plus all of the local gins on their shelves. . We had the devilled chicken & duck livers and mushrooms on toast to start (outstanding, probably the best starter I've had this year, and up there in my top 5 to date) and Tom struggled through the chocolate tart to finish. So full, very happy. . £30 for 2 courses, £35 for 3 courses - so definitely more of a special occasion treat, but the quality and taste was first rate, and one of the cheaper ways to experience a Michelin-starred place! . . . #theponyandtrap #bristol #bristolfood #bristolfoodie #eatbristol #foodgram #michelin #michelinguide #chewvalley #chewmagna #somerset #swisbest #england #visitbristol #hellobristol #bristol247 #crumbssnaps #crumbsmag #bestofbristol #bristollife #bristollove #britishfood #sundayroast #sundaylunch #roastdinner
