Three new eateries and five established Bristol venues have made the shortlist in the Best Restaurant in Bristol category of the annual British Restaurant Awards.
The newcomers were Indian restaurant Namak in St Werburgh’s, former ramen pop-up Tomo No Ramen in Old Market and vegan falafel place Yafo in Southville. All have been open for less than a year. They join the more established Adelina Yard, Root, Wilsons, Casamia and The Ethicurean at Wrington on the shortlist.
