Brasserie Blanc - Quakers Friars - Bristol

Its always nice when you go somewhere for dinner that's not 100% to your liking and you don't have to pay, which is exactly what happened when I went to Brassier Blanc with my work colleagues.

The venue itself is stunning, very warm and inviting, the staff were very nice too and showed very attentive service considering there was 10 of us!

Now the food...well they do offer a quite good value set menu but the choices are very limited and are obviously cheaper products, one party had the fish cakes and the pear pudding both were apparently nice but the portion sizes were very small and i mean very...1 fish cake and some creamed leeks for a main course :(

I however went for the main menu as I fancied the mussel's and chips, in fact most of the party went for the larger menu and their portions were not any bigger, in fact laughable for the average price was about £15 per dish.

The taste of my mussel's were good though, they were well cooked and cleaned but to be honest I was not blown away.

We had plenty of room for pudding and I ordered the treacle sponge and ice cream.  I wish I had taken a picture to convey how small it was, the scoop of ice cream was tea spoon sized and the sponge not much bigger!  It was however nice but again did not blow me away.

I felt quite bad for my boss after the evening having to pay for the meal but sadly you do have a bad one, well not bad just small and very average!!!
