The Riverstation, Bristol

The birthday celebrations continued last Sunday, still in Bristol. I had a lovely meal with my family who had come from Nottingham and Wales just for lunch! 

We went to The Riverstation which, as the name suggests, is on the river in Bristol. We were about ten minutes late sitting down, which seemed to have annoyed our waiter immediately. He was very polite but it was obvious to me that we had annoyed him, eek! Anyway, once we settled in all was fine. There was a choice of two or three courses for £16.50 or £20 which was very reasonable. Mr VST and I shared a goat's curd salad to start with which was lovely. The goat's curd was quite mild and the dressing was delicious. For the main course we both had the butternut squash risotto which was exactly as a risotto should be, very creamy! We shared a chocolate, chestnut and orange terrine which was perfect and just melted in the mouth. 

There are so many places to eat in Bristol and I haven't been to that many of them but this was a lovely venue and the food was of a very high standard for a very reasonable price.
