Apologies as this post is definitely overdue! A taste of Cuba A few weeks ago a group of us Bristol Bloggers and Influencers were lucky enough to spend the evening at The Cuban, Bristol based in the centre/Harbourside. Props to Socialight and Heather for organising this one! I’m really outdoing myself with all this eating out but who’s complaining. On arrival the manager Ellie, introduced herself and what would the night would be about. Whilst waiting for everyone to arrive I had a lovely chat with a few of the other girls and managed to get some pictures of the decor. The effort put in to really give you the Cuban experience was apparent and I couldn’t actually believe how spacious it is inside. There is a main bar, stage, smaller bar, dining area and even a dance floor type space… and breathe. Mojito, Mojito We sat around the smaller bar to take part in a Mojito masterclass. Now anything made with alcohol amazes me…
The Ashville Steakhouse Those who know me know that steak is my absolute FAVE! It doesn’t matter where I go, I’ll always look for the steak option lol. Up until now, sadly nothing had beaten the steak I mentioned in Birthday Baecation but boyyy do we have a contender with The Ashville! Side note* I am actually giving up red meat soon (I say this with a tear) In my quest to eventually go vegetarian but that is a story for another time. I had heard of The Ashville prior so I was buzzing when Socialight hooked the whole thing up. Its located in Southville, easy to find and was a nice change to the usual hustle and bustle of the city centre. This had no impact on the atmosphere though as from the outside you could see it was pretty busy! I visited on Saturday evening and on arrival we were greeted by the lovely owner Sandor who promptly…
Mum’s the word! In true Mothers Day spirit of course I lifted the burden of cooking off my fab mum for the day! The bottomless roast menu (Disclaimer – Drinks are bottomless, not food) at Steam Bristol seamed perfect as mum loves a good ol’ roast beef! However as I mentioned in Sunday Funday, I prefer a more Caribbean style Sunday lunch. So its only fair that views are of my mums for todays post. Sweet her to have her first blog debut lmao! As there was a slight confusion with our booking we unfortunately didn’t get to try the starter that comes with the bottomless menu. Though the table next to us did and completely cleaned the plate so I’m guessing it was good. (Well either that or they eat anything lol). There was a good selection of drinks to choose from including Beer, Ale, Wine and Prosecco. My mum ordered a white wine which was promptly filled up by…
The Bristol food scene is a competitive place but Aluna, Bristol is strongly holding its spot in the top, If you haven’t been already what are you waiting for?! Expect fire and smoke but thats just the cocktails! Atmosphere is important! I have lost count of the amount of birthdays, including my own that I have celebrated in Aluna. Im just convinced this place gets better with time. The main thing that keeps us running back is the laid back atmosphere, dimmed lights and mix of music and food. It really reminds me of London and who doesn’t love London? On the menu you’ll find something for everyone, this is proved by satisfying our very different taste buds, Its also incredible value for money. Ive shamelessly tasted most things on the menu and went for the Thai Green Curry again though the table held a mix of nachos, satay chicken, steak,…
