Glassboat

Bristol


This converted river barge is an ideal spot for a romantic dinner, with candlelit tables and harbour views through a glass extension. The refined food revolves around French and Italian flavours.

The early-evening set meals (two/three courses £12/15), served between 5.30pm and 6.30pm, are great value.
