Acres of glass and steel that seem to jut out on to the river ensure that this avantgarde conversion of a former police station makes a strong visual statement. On the ground floor the bar kitchen is ideal for a quick lunch or evening drink while the informal first floor dining room is a bright, colourful space with harbour views.
Additional Comments:
Converted from the former headquarters of Bristol’s river police, directly on the harbourside, riverstation is one of the city’s most stylish eating establishments. The building has won several national and civic awards for its bold modern architecture; the dramatic use of planar glass, marble and stainless steel accentuates the uncompromisingly bright and contemporary feel.
The upper-floor restaurant offers menus that combine innovative creativity with dependable favourites, changing on a daily basis depending on the availability of fresh, local ingredients. Open every day of the week for lunch, early evening ‘café hour’ and à la carte supper, there is also daytime brunch service at the weekend and a bargain Sunday lunch (just £18.75 for three courses). The wine list is thoughtful and wide ranging, with prices that encourage experiment, and the service is friendly, informal and efficient.
