Food Scene
Kathmandu
Colston StreetGood food, not the cheapest though
Great food full of flavour, the lunch time special of 6 starters for 4.99 (vegetarian version also available but not quite as good) is superb value.
Mezze Palace Lebanese Restaurant
13a Small StGreat food full of flavour, the lunch time special of 6 starters for 4.99 (vegetarian version also available but not quite as good) is superb value.
Good selection of lunch time eateries, I recommend the chicken from the Moroccan or the jerk chicken from the Jamaican. There are also Portuguese, Italian, Indian (sometimes very hot and spicy), salad bars, juice bars etc, mostly cheap and good quality, I have sampled the majority and the Moroccan is my favourite.
