In our My Bristol Food series, we talk with some of the most prominent Bristol foodies around to get their take on what makes the city's culinary scene tick and also get their recommendations. This week we spoke with Bristol blogger Kaya Payne.

 

Kaya Payne's passion for the city has led her to start up her own travel blog.

 

First off - who are you? Hey I'm Kaya, I'm a Sales and Marketing Executive for an independent Bristol aromatherapy company called Amphora Aromatics. In my spare time, I Blog, Tweet and Insta about my adventures in my amazing home city Bristol.

 

Where are your most-visited food places in Bristol? I eat out a lot but the two places I always go back to are; Bambalan – I love the atmosphere, terrace and the Babs are amazing! Grillstock – The food is always so good and it has a cool laid back vibe.

 

Where in Bristol has the...

 

Best Burger? This is so hard! It is a tie between Asado and The Ox in Clifton.

Best for special occasions? The Glassboat

 

Best Brunch? Rosemarino Clifton

 

Best indie producer/shop/market? Scoopaway Gloucester Road and obviously, St Nicks Market.

 

Best sugar-fix? The Beehive in Downend for the amazing freak shakes!

The Beehive offers a great range of mouth-watering sweet treats

 

Optional extra; Check out Tiffin Time on Midland Road for delicious, healthy lunches.

 

If you were the Mayor of Bristol for a day what would you do? Free parking and public transport all day, set up loads of stands offering free prosecco, cocktails and donuts by the Big O Donut Co! Imagine that?!

 

You’ve got 24 hours in Bristol to show some visitors around. What are you going to do? Probably head to The White Lion, Clifton for the amazing views of the Suspension Bridge for a drink, then have a stroll around Clifton Village and walk down to the harbour front. Check out the M Shed then go for some food at Broken Dock or The Grain Barge. For the evening, cocktails at Red Light and The Milk Thistle, then end up in Thekla!
