French cooking. Italian generosity. Bristolian spirit.

Independent neighbourhood dining in Clifton.

Welcome to the Restaurant

The Square is a neighbourhood bistro in the heart of Bristol, bringing together the cooking traditions of France and Italy.

Drop in for a glass of wine and a few plates, settle in for dinner, or gather a table of friends and order a little bit of everything. Good food, good wine and good company – without too much ceremony.

“I’ve been to the Square Club multiple times for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food and service are always top-notch and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, with ever-changing paintings by local artists. The sun-trap back garden is a real plus as well. Highly recommended.”
