Introducing the Yurt Bistro

Yurt Lush, the city's much loved cafe restaurant will launch a new evening service from Wednesdays to Saturdays with a new "Yurt Bistro" concept that will combine a sustainable, traceable British menu with an affordability and simplicity that is associated with traditional French bistros.

At just £15 for two courses and £18 for three, the Yurt Bistro will launch on Wednesday 8 February with a menu that combats food waste, using out of vogue ingredients and cuts of meat that would usually be resigned to the butchers bone bin to create informal, hearty and tasty dishes for everyone to enjoy.

Nestled behind Brunel's famous old station, Yurt Lush was created by the Eat Drink Bristol Fashion team as a calming food hub away from the hustle and bustle of Bristol's busy city centre. Having attained the highest possible sustainability ratings from the Sustainable Restaurant Association, Yurt Lush has long offered Bristol an ethically minded food offering and is proud to launch a new bistro menu which aims to cement the venue's standing as one of the city's most sustainable places to eat.

For advanced bookings at Yurt Bistro please call or text 07582 042 090.
