Within the vibrant harbourside development of Wapping Wharf in Bristol, Tare is an intimate 20 cover restaurant. It proudly belongs to a collective of independent businesses thriving in creatively converted shipping containers. The team’s culinary philosophy revolves around the art of cooking delicious food with precision and passion. And, they meticulously source the finest local produce to create a menu that reflects their dedication to quality. Accompanying your dining experience is a thoughtfully put together drinks list, specially designed to enhance and complement the flavours of your meal. Because of the menu, you should try and make a reservation in advance.
Food is served in a six course set menu with meat or a vegetarian option, with dishes that change seasonally throughout the year. Guests are allowed to alternate between menus, and the team at Tare do try their best to accommodate dietary requirements, along with making sure vegan and gluten free menus are available with prior notice. Meals begin with sourdough and snacks, before moving onto chalk stream trout with horseradish and creme fraiche. Then, you'll enjoy Brixham crab with pickled kohlrabi, nori and chilli, and Somerset shiitakes with celeriac, whey and hazelnut. Also on the menu is Beech Ridge duck with rhubarb, salsify and greens, and lastly, malt ice cream with sherry and an artichoke crisp, and a choux bun with apple custard, miso and almond.
If you’re a veggie, the starting bread is the same, before a dish of salt baked beetroot with horseradish and crème fraiche, and tempura broccoli with ponzu and black garlic. Next up is the Somerset shiitake dish again, before Homewood Farm halloumi with cauliflower and raisin puree, and the same desserts as the meat inclusive menu.
