Our Guestbook
“ We live in south Devon & come to Bristol to visit our daughter & her fiance. We have been to totterdown canteen a couple of times before when we have wanted to go out for breakfast & this is the best place by far. Food is amazing, staff always so friendly & the prices are great. I did read a bad review which is really sad & of course your food is not going to be piping hot when you are waiting on the delivery driver to get there. If you want a super breakfast then this is the place to go as they are second to none. Just to say thank you again for great food & service. ”
“ Lovely breakfast - choose based on location and recent reviews and to be honest it was great value for money, delicious and we would totally recommend. Busy with lots of people eating in and a regular stream of "deliveroo" style users collecting take outs for people. There is the odd moan in the reviews.. but if you are too lazy to collect cheese on toast and then moan... You really should step inside the place and discover how clean, friendly and good value it is... Totally recommend and set up for the day with just a regular size breakfast... There were plenty of other options too and a blue light discount for during the week! ”

“ Love this place for regular meetings with friend Not too loud, no pretentious music. Nice service but food so so .... ”
“ This restaurant is a gem! It's arguably one of the best in the southeast part of Bristol. The staff are very welcoming and charismatic, with the restaurant being passionate about giving to charity. The food is affordable, with fantastic deals for students. Almost anyone can get a deal, too. The menu allows it. They are vegetarian and vegan friendly with the chef always willing to accommodate. Love this place!!! The aesthetic is colourful and historic with a brillant use of levels. It is a really good place for breakfast and to study. Simply amazing. I ordered the vegan breakfast with fried bread. OH, how I love fried bread now! The free tea that came with the meal and the chai latte that I ordered were lush. ”
“ Ive eaten here twice, once for breakfast and once for their monthly steak nights. Both times were amazing. Really high quality of food served by people that obviously really care about what they're doing and incredible value for money. I really can't reccomend it enough. One of Bristol's hidden gems. ”
“ Been going there for over 20 years and when Greg owned it and his previous cafe near the three lamps in the 60s and 70s ......excellent service , good quality food at reasonable prices ”
“ I have eaten here a few times and thought I had already reviewed it but checked and I hadn't so here goes. My breakfast was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Over my past visits I've had an omelette, a jacket potato and a couple of fried breakfasts and every one has been spot on. I highly recommend this cafe ”
