The acclaimed Bristol restaurant Casamia will close after almost 25 years.
Named the UK’s greenest city in recent years and with a well-deserved reputation as having one of the best food scenes in the UK, Bristol is considered by many to be a place where you can enjoy urban living at its civilised best. At one end of the scale are acclaimed restaurants like Casamia, Sonny Stores and Bertha’s, all of which attract travellers and critics alike, and at the other a fantastic array of simple lunch spots, cafés, bakeries and street food stalls.
