Over the past two weeks, Estrella Damm has been counting down to the unveiling of its official top 50, by counting down number to 51 in the list - and a pub in Bristol is among them.
The Clifton has been ranked at number 70 in the coveted list. In , it was voted the 65th best gastropub by Estrella, and it also has a Bib Gourmand under its belt, too. The Clifton was also reviewed by Bristol Live last week in our 'pub of the week' series.
The pub on Regent Street describes itself as serving up 'good quality food and drink in a relaxed informal surroundings', as well as a 'thriving local watering hole that has been keeping locals' thirst at bay for many years'.
Alongside its bar, it offers a daily changing, seasonal menu in its dining rooms. There is a focus on cooking over fire using the pub's custom-made Parrilla Grill, and serving up sharing and feasting dishes using ingredients from artisan suppliers in the surrounding Bristol area, as well as produce from its own smallholding. As with the team's other pubs in Wales, seasonality is at the heart of its dishes, and everything is made from scratch in the kitchen - from sourdough bread and cultured butter, to fresh pasta.
It is a list of the best places to eat chosen by your peers, meaning these highly acclaimed venues are being recognised as being the best in the business by the most influential people. There is also a selection of special awards that are judged by an expert panel.
