About Bravas Bristol
Delicious, simple, Spanish inspired food in an intimate setting.
Bravas Bristol Description
Bravas, a new, exciting and authentic tapas bar located just off Whiteladies road on Cotham Hill. We are an independent, small, family run tapas bar, with other thriving independent businesses near by.
Here is a little about Us:
We are Kieran and Imogen Waite. We love food, eating it, cooking it, talking about it and sharing it with people. Hence our long term aim is to be the proud patrons of a string of delightful and different eateries.
Imo is a chef, having learned her trade working all over Bristol in what she considers some the best kitchens in the city; Primrose Cafe, Bordeaux Quay, Ocean, Culinaria, The Lido and Garden Cafe at The Holborn Museum in Bath .
Kieran is an events organiser for his family business and a well seasoned host. He has eaten and drunk his way around most of the bars and restaurants of Bristol, including a stint behind the bar at the Albion.
Last year we carried out a research trip around Spain. we returned feeling more inspired and passionate about Spanish food than ever. We decided to run a supper club from our house in Hotwells, seating 20 covers a time. It was a real success and a great way for us to test the waters in terms of spanish cooking and hospitality.
Why Spanish food?
The ingredients and the simplicity is exactly what attracted us to Spanish food; it's well sourced, well cooked & well tasty!
We intend to take some of the best ingredients the West has to offer and complement them with some Spanish style.
It’s not just about the food in Spain it’s the whole culture of eating. I remember from a young age enjoying tapas in back street bars. The food’s not out of sight, hidden away in a kitchen, it’s right there in front of you. It’s like getting to see all the chocolate bars in a sweet shop unwrapped. . . But better still you get to try them all. There’s no such thing as food envy, you share with friends and family picking and ordering as you go.

lovely food great atmosphere and helpful and attentive staff - heartily recommend
Worth a trip to Bristol for just for this!!! amazing food service and ambience in the restaurant booking essential it’s busy every night �
What a fantastic little place this is.. the best tapas I have eaten in the uk, the staff are excellent, attentive and the food is perfect. The only problem is you will never get a table as it is booked out the door weeks in advance.
loved it.
What a fantastic find, an absolute fabulous place, great atmosphere, great food, wonderful staff, thank you �
What a fabulous place! We booked for New Years Eve and we loved it � a perfect setting for the most delicous food...complete Heaven. Cannot wait to come back, food was amazing, atmosphere so welcoming and the staff very attentive...10 out of 10! Thankyou for a memorable evening ����
Visited on the weekend with my boyfriend. All of the food dishes were excellent. Great choice of drinks, lovely atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and wouldn't hesitate to go back
This was our second visit to Bravas, and it was just as good as the first. The restaurant is quite small so book if you can, there are seats around the bar and at the window which are available on a first come basis. The food is fantastic - there’s a great selection of authentic tapas. Great service, staff are very friendly and helpful. Lively atmosphere. A must if you are visiting Bristol.
The food is absolutely amazing, but just as important, it is cosy, vibrant, a great local hangout, a wonderful antidote to the sterile chain bars and restaurants populating Bristol nowadays. We whiled away four hours sat at the bar and it felt like nothing. I will be coming back again and again.
The fish and chicken tappas are good here lovely flavours x
Such a vibrant place to eat! Great atmosphere. The food was lovely, and a real range of tapas to choose between! The aubergine tapas dish was very good!
One word sums it up - AMAZING!!!
Brilliant choice of tapas & great beers - really proper Spanish meal. Signature dish has to be the fried aubergine and don't forget to have "pan" with allioi Next time I am in Bristol, going again.
Oh my god felt like we were on hoilday it's a very sml restaurant but the service the vibe and most of all the tapas is the best ever thank s bravas for a great night
Lovely food, staff know about the food and take time to explain to you. The atmosphere is nice, small and cosy. I can't wait to return.
Great food, great friendly service, great atmosphere. Also good for veggies, not a single boring mushroom dish in sight. Make sure you try the fried aubergine!
Good as ever. Nothing as good for around 3200miles. Nice to be back.
Excellent food. Looking forward to NeXT time :-)
Beautiful food, great atmosphere. The staff were attentive and knew the menu, which was great.
Ate at Bravas for the first time last night - great food, cosy atmosphere, attentive but relaxed service and reasonable prices. Highly recommended.
Absolutely climax inducing tapas! The only other place you will get tapas as good as this is Spain.
Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, amazing place! Go there! Go there now!!!
