But it was so magical that I still want to share it with you – better late than never!

But what is (quite) new, is the revamped Pieminister restaurant on Stokes Croft and this time they’ve got it nailed.

It is however, also fantastic. Serving great food at good prices in a wonderful atmosphere. I suppose I could just stop the review there. I haven’t really left much mystery in that opening (sorry).

By mexican I’m talking more about tex mex than traditional mexican cuisine. Although there’s not much in the way of choice for either.
