Kitchen by KASK — Restaurant in Bristol

Frankie’s is the restaurant coeliacs have been waiting for - absolutely everything on the food menu is gluten free (and coeliac safe) so you can just go to town.

I’ve eaten at Adam’s pop ups many times over the last couple of years and it’s great he’s found a long term home as his food is fantastic and everyone should be able to try jt!!

This time I had the buffalo and blue cheese chicken and waffle, OG cheese million layer potato, frickles (with a side of ranch sauce) and some slaw. All of it was divine!

Somehow still had room for the zeppole (kind of like a doughnut but super light and fluffy), which has become one of Adam’s signature dishes. Mine came with coffee and caramel sauces and a nice blob of whipped cream. It wasn’t sickly sweet and finished the meal off nicely.

This was all washed down with Fortitude, a gluten free amber ale from Bristol Beer Factory just up the road.

Maddie was our main server and she was super attentive and really friendly.

All in all the whole experience is one I’ll be repeating regularly!

One thing I’ll just add - a couple of reviews have said this is expensive for what you get. It’s true that it’s not cheap but this is a really small business just starting out and doesn’t have the economies of scale of a bigger business. The venue seats maybe 20 people and it’s usually fully booked but as with any hospitality venue they deal with a lot of no-shows. When people just don’t turn up for their booking that means nobody else can have the table unless there’s a walk-in. But staff and bills still have to be paid. Personally I don’t find the food overpriced but as a coeliac I’m used to paying more for nice gluten free food - and I don’t know of anywhere else doing this type of food gluten free. The food is excellent, as is the service and you get what...

We were really excited about the new Kask start up, the original Kask is so great. This Kitchen by Kask however, was really disappointing. The food was mediocre, you couldn’t talk due to the music being way too loud (it was closer to being in a bar after 10pm than some place to eat) and although the wine was good - you had no idea what you were drinking! The wine Kask select is great no doubt - but the options were just a stab in the dark ‘a flight of wine’ one white, orange and red. When the wine was explained all we could hear was ‘it’s from Turkey’ we got nothing else and really liked two of the wines, enough to buy it… If only we were told what it was!? We were sat in the middle and it certainly felt like we were forgotten, our order taken about 20 mins after we arrived with others arriving after us being served drinks almost immediately. The food we selected was ok, nothing to write home about and certainly there are better offerings on North Street at a similar price point (Yafo, Souk etc) - given the variety of small plates it would seem that the paring of the wine didn’t actually really fit when you are given a flight and little (or perhaps we couldn’t hear) explanation of what would go well with what. The concept is great one, pair Kask’s brilliant wine with local and more substantial food than the original wine bar - it could be so so good but it seems confused. Is it a place for good food and wine!? or a loud pre night out bar that sells good wine and some food to get you through the evening!? We so want it to be good and this is the reason for the review - honest albeit critical feedback. We will try it again once it’s more established however, we will stick with Kask wine bar for the foreseeable and hope that this new linked enterprise doesn’t ruin its...

We went to Frankie's Restaurant who shared this restaurant space. The food was fabulous and you wouldn't know it was gluten free!! So go try them out!

Frankie's is a gluten free restaurant which serves Fried chicken & waffles with a choice of 4 different toppings. 2 of which were Buffalo sauce with blue cheese or Maple syrup, chilli jam with bacon butter both were delicious. Sorry can't remember the other toppings.

There were also sides we chose red cabbage coleslaw, Frikles and million layer potato. They were also delicious. We did order any dessert as we were all too full. To drink we had local cider from Cheddar, local apple juice & a organic cola. There was 5 of us in our party, bill came around £114.00 which works out at £22.80 per person. Which I thought wasn't too much, especially as it's gluten free and gluten free foods you always pay more for.

We booked our table, which they said they prefer so they know how many people to cater for & it's probably a good idea as the restaurant isn't very big. Would definitely go back, as our daughter is celiac. So eating out is a problem for her. As we're worried about cross contamination which means she's then ill for several...
