Arnolfini Cafe Bar

Cafe Bar

We are open every day from 10am

Our Italian-inspired menu uses the best ingredients from our favourite local producers and other trusted suppliers. We try to cook with the seasons but sometimes need to add a little sunshine by using imported produce. All our meat is organic or free range and our fish is sustainably sourced.

Coffee by Extract (Bristol’s favourite roasters), organic teas by Pukka and our now-legendary cakes by our brilliant bakery team are available all day. New recipes for the new year include coconut snowflake cake, chocolate chestnut torte and eeh-by-gum Eccles cakes.

Salads, tarts and frittatas on the bar are freshly made every day and are available to eat in or take out. Try our new pizzette (little pizzas hand-made in our kitchen): potato, onion, taleggio, rosemary & garlic or finocchiona, buffala mozzarella & guindilla pepper. Finish with a wickedly wonderful sticky toffee pudding & Madagascan vanilla ice cream. See a sample food menu

Brilliant value Italian wines are all available by the glass and bottle; we also have a short but perfectly formed seasonal cocktail list and a range of local and not-so-local beers and ciders. See our drinks menu
