Gallimaufry

Bristol


The very definition of a locals' cafe, favoured by a resident cool crowd. All the elements are there – upcycled furniture, quirky artworks, scruffy decor, local live music – along with a dedication to Bristolian suppliers. The food covers all bases, from quick 'Gallimouthfuls' to plates of wild mushroom stroganoff, and rump steak with bourguignon sauce.

Gallimaufry is about 2 miles north of the city centre.
