Roca
Michelin Bib Gourmand · Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection
Our verdict
With front-row views of the Avon River and lush greenery, the light-filled room fosters a welcoming, unhurried feel and is well-suited for get-togethers with friends. The menu puts Mediterranean gastronomy centre stage, flaunting pronounced Spanish and Middle Eastern accents. In addition to wood-fired seafood and smoked meats and vegetables, try their house-made Nduja sausage – grilled over a wood fire, it has a snappy crust and smoky, spicy flavours.
Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
