La Mediterranean — Restaurant in Bristol

I can honestly say, I have never been treated so terribly in a restaurant. I came here last week with my partner and was absolutely appalled by the treatment we received.

On our arrival, we were made to feel extremely unwelcome (should’ve left there and then, but you live and you learn!). Waitress explained that there was just one table by the window available, but the manner in which she said it and looked at us, was full of hostility.

We sat down and waited a very long time for 2 wraps. I was not feeling 100% and decided I’d rather eat at home, after around a 40 minute wait. I went over to the waitress to ask would it be okay to have the food as a takeaway. She aggressively turned round and said ‘I explained to YOUR FACE that it was going to be a long wait, your food is now ready!”(While literally pointing aggressively in my face). I was absolutely astonished, I walked back to the table in shock. A second staff member came over to the table around 5/10 minutes later, again asked if we wanted a takeaway (as if it was a massive issue). I once again explained that I needed to get home for personal reasons, so if I could please have my food as a takeaway? I do not understand why this was such an issue. So eventually another 5/10 minutes went by, the food came out, we paid and left.

We opened the food at home to find two very underwhelming, tasteless wraps and freezer chips. 0/5. Will NEVER return.

Edit for response ** Once again, condescending and passive aggressive response - just as we were treated in your premises. Trying to put the blame back onto your customer for your awful hospitality - I wouldn’t advise that in such a public forum. Regardless of the diabolical service we received, the food is just pretty poor and I...

We originally planned to eat at the place next door, but after glancing at the menu here, we decided to give it a try. We're big fans of evocative Turkish/Greek cuisine, and the menu featured halloumi with hummus, which sounded promising. The decor felt homely and traditional, which gave us hope for a positive experience.

Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed. The wraps seemed like basic supermarket ones (more Tesco than traditional), the salad was bland and uninspired, and we had to ask for sauce just to add some flavor. It didn’t live up to expectations.

If your idea of seasoning stops at salt and pepper, this might feel like fine dining. But for anyone who appreciates bold, authentic flavors, it’s underwhelming. The dishes lacked depth, balance, and character—everything felt like it was made to play it safe. No boldness, no spice, no soul. Not a place we’d recommend for those seeking a genuine or memorable...

Went for lunch a couple of weeks ago. I had a salad with halloumi and my partner had a wrap with salad and chips. Really disappointed to see that the food was hardly home made, with most things clearly being bought from Aldi just down the road- I know what Aldi houmous tastes like, which is something I found particularly revealing.

My partner's wrap was basic shop bought as well, and the chips clearly oven chips. Even at the price point, this just seems so lazy with any lack of pride in the food served. The server was attentive and pleasant, but there are waaaayyy better Mediterranean options in Bristol including North Street itself. Unfortunately won't...
