When you think \u2018Michelin-starred\u2019, you probably think celebrity chefs, waiters taking your coat at the door and eye-watering prices. But Michelin dining is a much more stripped back affair at one locally-owned Bristol<\/a>\u00a0restaurant, which Time Out has just named the best in the city right now.<\/p>\n

It takes a lot to be named one of Time Out\u2019s favourite restaurants. Our local experts know their cities inside out, so the places that come out on top have to be properly excellent \u2013 especially in a city like Bristol which is bursting with\u00a0fantastic\u00a0eateries. One unassuming Redland bistro, however, has just triumphed above the rest.<\/p>\n

Wilson\u2019s<\/strong>, a small-but-mighty joint on Chandos Road, has just been named Time Out\u2019s favourite restaurant in Bristol, and for good reason. You wouldn\u2019t know looking at its plain white walls and unpretentious menus that it was just awarded a Michelin star, but that\u2019s part of what we love so much about it: nothing gets in the way of the cooking. As our Bristol expert Shonette Laffy put it: \u2018some of the best and most creative cooking in the city is coming out of\u00a0[this]\u00a0cosy restaurant\u2019.<\/p>\n

Much of the produce at Wilson\u2019s is grown in owners\u2019 Jan and Mary Wilson\u2019s own garden, and much of the poultry shot by chef Jan himself. Mary chooses the wine pairings, and boom \u2013 there you have it, exceptional quality food without the fuss.<\/p>\n

The best part? You can sample the cooking here for only \u00a335 if you head during lunchtime on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, when a budget set menu means anyone can live the Michelin life for a bit. Plus,\u00a0Wilson\u2019s has a commitment to sustainability proven by\u00a0its Michelin green star.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chandos Road has become somewhat of a hot spot for high-quality dining, with Wilson\u2019s neighbour Little Hollows Pasta receiving a Michelin Bib Gourmand<\/a> \u2013 celebrating\u00a0top-notch cooking at affordable price points \u2013 this year as well.<\/p>\n
