Chandos Social — Restaurant in Bristol

Three of us had dinner in the tiny restaurant on Thursday 11th July. The food was delicious. The young waitresses were delightful and efficient. The food took a very long time to arrive from the kitchen. We imagined the chef was taking immense care cutting gooseberries in half and fiddling with pea-shoots. There are many restaurants in Bristol that now do equally good food. So the whole dining experience has to be thought about. We did not have an enjoyable evening because the restaurant was so noisy.
