Perched on Princes Wharf at the edge of Bristol's Floating Harbour, The Olive Shed has been one of the city's most quietly beloved restaurants since it first opened in 2001. The setting does a lot of the work — harbour views from every table, French doors thrown open on warmer days, candlelit and cosy when the evenings draw in — but the food more than holds its own. The menu roams across the Mediterranean: fresh tapas loaded with olives, herbs and good olive oil; Moroccan-spiced hummus; deep-fried anchovies; mussels that have become something of a local institution; and baked aubergine and rib-eye for those wanting something more substantial. Organic wines, local beers, and genuinely warm service round things off. Unpretentious, independent, and thoroughly Bristol.

Moored on Narrow Quay at the heart of Bristol's Harbourside, Under the Stars is exactly what it sounds like — a floating Mediterranean tapas bar on a restored cargo boat, with a rooftop deck, water views in every direction and a menu built around the idea of ships leaving Bristol for the Mediterranean and bringing the best of it back. Since 2010, it's been serving some of the city's most-loved tapas: crab croquetas, chorizo, patatas bravas and freshly made pizza — dough to topping — all prepared on board. The interior is warm and intimate with restored wood panelling and harbour views through every window; the upper deck, when the Bristol weather plays ball, is something else entirely. Relaxed, independent, and entirely one of a kind.

Sitting inside The Bristol Hotel on Narrow Quay, The River Grille is one of the city's most elegant dining rooms — floor-to-ceiling windows, warm wooden floors and uninterrupted views across the Harbourside making the setting as much of a draw as the food. Head Chef Pawel Mikolajczewski writes his menu quarterly, built entirely around the finest seasonal produce from the South West: fresh catch from the fishing port of Brixham, 28-day aged West Country beef cooked on the grill with real precision, and a constantly evolving à la carte that lets the ingredients do the talking. On Friday and Saturday evenings a pianist plays in the lounge bar, giving the room an easy, unhurried warmth. Polished without being stuffy, and with one of the best views in Bristol thrown in for good measure.

Glasgow
My husband and I went in the Glasgow Merchant City Restaurant Tour. At each restaurant the food was wonderful and we got drink for each course too. We could tour as quickly or as slowly as we wanted and we had plenty of time to visit all restaurants. We definitely plan to go on another tour and will know it is so good to buy as a gift! I have recommended this tour to friends and colleagues who have also taken the opportunity to go on a food tour!
Birmingham
The wide range of flavors was perfect. Each restaurant we visited had its unique charm, and the warm welcome from the staff made the day even more enjoyable. I discovered so many new restaurants! I can't wait to return.
Liverpool
My partner and I booked on to the Castle street restaurant tour in Liverpool and it was possibly our favourite date we have ever been on! It was well organised, good value for money and a great opportunity to try new restaurants around our city which we have since visited regularly. I would definitely like to try one of the other tours.
Nottingham
Concept is brilliant, allowing participants to visit 6 restaurants in the city. My friend and I attended and thoroughly enjoyed our home town Nottingham. The food was plentiful accompanied by a drink at each restaurant. Good value for money - recommend this to couples, families and friends. Make that special occasion more memorable. Our visit included Vi-Va, Delilah, Peter Pizzeria, Coco Tangs, Baresca and Bohens (in that order).
Customer
We've done 2 of the tours and both times had the best time. Enjoyed restaurants that we never even knew were there and tries some delicious food. The staff everywhere have been fun, friendly and welcoming. I've recommended the restaurants tours to many of my friends. Can't wait to book to do another one
