Brilliant news that the Markwicks are still in town, and not done a Capello! Thanks, Martini. I shall venture to their fine eatery post-haste.

Still open, Watts1980. The Markwicks have done a Ferguson and decided not to retire just yet.

another one whats closing and worth a visit before it goes. thing is most of the time when you walk past it its closed. if you manage to get it open its good. really experimental tasty food and very different to all the other eating places nearby. you might expect it to be stuck up but its not. i like it.
Culinaria chef Stephen Markwick and his wife Judy, who runs the front of house, are retiring soon and have put this restaurant up for sale. So go and eat here while you still can.
Culinaria is closed more than it is open. It is modest in its decor and unpretentious in its outlook. Step through the front door, however, and prepare to be served some of the finest food in Bristol prepared by one of the city’s best and most well-respected chefs, who quietly and consistently cooks seriously good food with a seasonal menu that changes every week.

Cracking little resataurant, this - one of the best in the city. Food is tasty and creative without being pretentious. It's not the cheapest place and the interior lacks a bit of intimacy but the food more than makes up for it. Only problem with the place is that it's closed quite a lot - worth a phone call in advance if you're planning on going there.
