We visited here last night after reading the reviews. What a find!!! Absolutely delicious food, fantastic and friendly service. Couldn’t fault it!! Best steak I’ve had in a very long time & my husband said the same for the duck! Can’t recommend enough. We’ll definitely be back v soon!

WOW. This place blew my mind. Best presentation of food I’ve seen in years, beautiful and creative in ways that rival some fancy Michelin star places I’ve visited. And the flavours! Fantastic. Run don’t walk to grab a table.

What a great hidden gem in the centre of Bristol!
I have previously visited the Library for evening cocktails and very much enjoyed it.
Having arranged to catch up with a friend for some afternoon food and drinks in Bristol I was struggling to find somwehere nice to go. Standard afternoon tea in most hotels is quite frankly dull and un-inspiring most of the time.
A quick Google search came up to show that the Library is now doing afternoon tea and also light afternoon lunches.
Quick online booking and away we went.
Service here is professional and friendly, the staff were attentive and knowledgeable .
It’s the sort of place you want to dress up as you are going to spoil yourself. We opted not to have teas and instead went for a selection of their fantastic cocktails. These were full of flavour and served perfectly as was the champagne that we had later on in the afternoon.
The food menu is succinct but perfectly paired for an afternoon light lunch. We decided to choose a dish each and then share these out. The chef came out and presented some of the food. He politely asked if we could provide feedback as he likes to see what works. An absolutely charming guy who you can see knows his things when it comes to food!
Later on we moved onto some scones, these were freshly baked to order, were as light as a feather and full of flavour it was another star dish!
If you want a bit of adult you time with friends to catch up or just have a laugh then I can’t recommend this venue highly enough. Great location, excellent food and attentive and lovely staff.

We had an amazing birthday lunch at newly opened Bistro Le Brousse, and tried a variety of dishes—every single one was outstanding. The food was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and made with incredibly fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was relaxed but still felt like a treat, and the staff were so warm and welcoming. They really made the celebration feel special. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Tiny menu (too small) but what I did eat (the smoked trout) was delicious.
The 2 female staff that served me were both really lovely – warm, welcoming and attentive.
Good location and reasonable prices.
The atmosphere was lovely at first (although I was the only customer so felt a bit dead), with well-chosen music, comfy chairs, and furniture and decor befitting of the vibes they wanted to create – think smoking room meets tea room meets library.
Unfortunately the atmosphere was shortly destroyed after I settled by who I can only assume was the owner having a long meeting on the table next to me about her £9k debt that must be paid back at £2k per month over the next 4 months etc etc (I won’t go into further details as some very sensitive stuff was discussed).
She projected her very loud voice the entire time, despite the 2 men she was meeting with (I assume who she owed the money to) being on the same table as her, without any thought of her customer’s experience, GDPR and/or confidentiality.
She really did ruin what started out as such a pleasant experience and I won’t be returning for afternoon tea with some friends as previously organised.

We didn’t eat, so I can’t comment on the food, but their cocktails are great, one on the best espresso martinis I’ve had!
And friendly staff who look after you.

We had a wonderful dinner. The food was marvellous, beautifully presented and very delicious. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the Chef was very welcoming and professional. The waitress was super friendly. It’s a little hidden gem, highly recommended culinary experience.

Had a wonderful time catching up with a friend over an exceptional meal. I just have to say, the chef clearly knows his tomatoes. The Isle of Wight tomato salad was absolutely brilliant—served at room temperature to bring out their natural sweetness. Not all chefs treat tomatoes with such respect! The roast beef was perfectly cooked, and the Yorkshire pudding was bold and impressive—just the way I like my Yorkies. A memorable meal from start to finish.

Had an amazing meal here. The chef is incredible and asked my likes and dislikes and managed to create a dish with tomatoes ( which I despise ) and I finished the plate. Really opened my eyes to how food should taste. Highly recommended and can’t wait to eat there again.
