The Gallimaufry Reviews Summary

Decor

Pros:

• "Decor in place is awesome. So vibrant and colourful."
• "Quirky decor like everything I've been in that area."
• "Such a vibrant atmosphere and love the ceiling decor."
• "It is aesthetically stunning inside - could have spent an hour just looking at the art."

Cons:

• "Put a candle head height behind a seat, really close to the edge. It set my hair on fire, health and safety not taken seriously."
• "It was far too dark, we could hardly see either the menu or the meal itself."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food is a tad pricey but it's honestly some of the best food I've had in Bristol and a lot of it is locally sourced."
• "The bar has a great atmosphere and feeling and the food is plentiful and of good quality."
• "Brisket and pickle sandwich, falafel and pickled cabbage wrap (vegan) both were excellent and evidently fresh."
• "Food here is always on point without fail. The pork belly on a Sunday is by far the best I've ever had and the meals on the menu are all incredibly tasty."
• "The vegan roast consisted of butternut squash roast with herbs and onions, roast potatoes, peas cabbage and carrots, swede puree, beetroot, and a breadcrumbed cauliflower, with gravy on top."
• "Really tasty goan fish curry and buttermilk chicken."
• "Both our meals were fresh, colourful and delicious."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately the worst and most expensive roast dinner i’ve had. Both dinners had dry roast potatoes, no Yorkshire puddings, the pork was mostly grisly, and the nut roast might as well have been made from sand."
• "The food is INCREDIBLY salty."
• "The potatoes seemed like they had been microwaved one time too many, and the vegan 'Wellington' was overcooked."
• "Food was not of a high standard, really disappointed with the 'Mushroom Pie', distinct lack of fungi..."
• "The gnocchi was not edible.. looked like it has been deep fried several times and didn’t look like gnocchi even…"
• "My food had baking paper in it."
• "I had the aranciini, they were rather stodgy, and overpriced."

Service

Pros:

• "Service was friendly and efficient, sat under heat lamps outside, would definitely recommend!"
• "Staff were attentive to begin with."
• "Really nice and friendly staff."
• "The service is top notch and the music, be it live jazz or DJ, is some of the best in Bristol."
• "Special thanks to Rachel looking after us all."
• "The staff were really attentive and friendly."
• "Service was brill."
