Bells Diner

Bristol institution serving burgers and steaks since 1976

Address 1-3 York Rd, Montpelier, Bristol

One of Bristol's oldest restaurants, Bells Diner has been operating in the Montpelier neighbourhood since 1976. It's a relaxed, neighbourhood place — the kind that earns its reputation over decades rather than through hype. The menu leans toward well-executed European cooking: expect good steaks, seasonal dishes, and a wine list that repays attention. Montpelier itself is one of Bristol's more interesting residential neighbourhoods, worth a wander before or after dinner.
