Visit the unique Mediterranean tapas restaurant, moored on Bristol's historic harbour since 2010, Under the Stars. The team have a dedication to crafting distinctive tapas, cocktails, and pizza, which has earned them a reputation as one of Bristol's finest dining establishments.
Step into a welcoming setting that has been adorned with rich wood, hague blue decor, and hints of mustard yellow, creating a light and cosy atmosphere. For those who appreciate the outdoors, the spacious top deck provides a year-round alfresco dining experience. Inspired by the maritime setting, the team have curated a menu that reflects the essence of travel and the culinary treasures brought back by ships departing from Bristol harbour. Meticulously researched and thoughtfully selected, the extensive tapas menu draws influences from the diverse regions of the Mediterranean.
Adding a delightful twist to the offerings, the team at Under the Stars has introduced a pizza menu, with every element crafted fresh on board, from the dough to the delicious toppings. Appetisers include marinated anchovies with crostini, and aged manchego with olives and red onion marmalade. Meat dishes include the chorizo oreado with caramelised onions, red wine and pimento sauce, along with nduja and savoy cabbage served in a garlic cream sauce with crispy onions.
For fish dishes, choose from spider crab and saffron croquettes with smoked aioli and lemon, and king tiger prawns in sumac, coriander, chilli and garlic. If you're a vegetarian or vegan, try the baked camembert with marinated garlic and rosemary, served with red onion chutney and bread, or the goats cheese that is deep fried in a sesame crumb with beetroot puree. For dessert, try the chocolate oreo brownie that is served warm with vanilla ice cream.
