Is the O2 not in London? If so there are a huge number of restaurants at the O2 arena. I’m not aware of an O2 in Bristol though.

Have you tried bambalan?

@afromom There are many O2 venues. I go to Bristol one all the time. Never eat there though, sorry!

Apologies I take it back, I see there is one in Bristol! I live close by and have never come across it before!
There is a nice Browns not far from there. If you are looking less highbrow but nice food and variety, Zazabazaar is a great buffet restaurant at the harbourside.

I’ve just googled and seen there are a few. I never realised that, my new learning for the day!

The colonnade restaurant (in the Bristol beacon / Colston hall) is supposed to be quite good too, although obvs can’t comment on whether they have capacity.

This is probably 15 minutes walk max and usually has space. Lounges started in Bristol and they're very popular here, this is one of the newest ones and it's quite big.

Bambalan is a good shout. Also Nutmeg on the city centre which does Indian street food and cocktails. Then there's Turtle Bay (Jamaican style food and cocktails) also on the centre. Harbour House is in a great spot by the water and does everything from fish to high end burgers. Molto Buono at the bottom of Park Street is a really good Italian with a buzzy atmosphere. Las Iguanas on the Harbourside is quite large and might be able to accommodate you. They do South American type food. And Cappadocia in Baldwin Street is really nice and does Turkish food and cocktails.
