To hunt down the best bottomless brunch in Bristol we had to do some serious research. We get it, it's a tough gig, but someone had to take the job, and we're generous with our time when research is focused on pancakes and prosecco. We don’t want to be bringing ideas to the table (if you’ll pardon the pun) that are sub-par, so when looking for the top options in this small southwestern city we considered all kinds of factors. Is the food any good? Is the bottomless option bubbles, cocktails or beer? And how nice are the interiors?
Combining each of these elements, we’ve worked hard to create the ultimate guide to the best bottomless brunch in Bristol. These spots are the perfect place to gather with friends to enjoy good food and drink, making the most of lazy weekend mornings and long afternoons. You see, there’s no set time brunch can take place. Sure, traditionally it’s between breakfast and lunch, but these days bottomless brunches often stretch on long into the afternoon and provide the ideal place to kickstart a night out.
Most places – as the name suggests – stand by their bottomless promise, but it’s worth noting that every venue will have restrictions of some sort. Typically, places provide a time slot of a couple of hours when you can enjoy bottomless bubbles or booze. Alongside the tipples, the other main reason to indulge in this modern-day weekend ritual is of course the food. Being a multicultural hub, Bristol has all kinds of delicious options. There are always going to be traditional pancakes and waffles on most menus, but if you're after an alternative brunch option, you'll also find Chinese menus and Caribbean food down below to keep things interesting.
So, whether you’re looking for somewhere to kickstart a weekend of merriment or are in dire need of some hair of the dog, these are the best bottomless brunches in Bristol to book.

The Botanist
What: Perched just off Berkeley Square, The Botanist is a reliable choice suited to pretty much any and all dining occasions. Naturally, we’re most interested in its bottomless brunch offering, which happens to be incredibly good value at less than £35 for two courses with bottomless drinks. Plus, you can make it a three-course meal for an extra fiver! The food here leans more towards brasserie than brunch, with pizzas, burgers and pasta dishes up for grabs. Still, we’re not complaining, especially when paired with a choice of Prosecco, Aperol Spritz', Passion Fruit Martinis or Pineapple Spritz'.

Pitcher & Piano
What: People can often be a bit snobby about chain restaurants, but there’s something comfortably consistent in a brand that churns out the same stuff day in and day out. So, while this might not be the most refined food in the city, we think it’s a pretty decent option if you’re looking for an affordable bottomless brunch in Bristol. You’ll get unlimited prosecco, bellinis, mimosas, Aperol spritzes or beer and there’s a good choice of mains too. One example is the breakfast brioche which is stuffed with bacon, sausages, a fried egg, cottage cheese and sweet chilli ketchup. A shakshuka also offers something beyond the ordinary, but if you fancy a classic Eggs Benedict and avocado on toast are both present and correct.
