What the critics have said about Carpe Diem ...

"I had glorious roasted breast of pheasant (£16), pink, juicy and fat with flavour. Boozy red cabbage with just the right amount of crunch, tiny caramelised onions, creamy potato rosti with heavenly bits of bacon in it and a dark, glossy gravy completed a perfect picture. My friend was no less delighted with his canon of lamb (£18), the tender eye of the loin coated with a herby chestnut crust and served with a heap of almost indecently rich puy lentils. It was quite extraordinary meat, so lush and dense it would have made Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall weep with pleasure"

"The service was attentive from the time we were greeted until our departure. The atmosphere and style could be likened to a very upmarket, contemporary hotel restaurant. The food - elegantly presented and truly delicious. We will be going back and feel that Bristol can only benefit from having such a quality establishment. It will provide the perfect setting for entertaining top clients, celebrating special occasions and intimate dinning alike"

It seems like Harbourside is becoming Bristol's capital of ethical eating. Under the tutelage of Barney Haughton, the Bordeaux Quay organic eaterie opened on the waterfront last year. Now on the other side of Millennium Square, it's been joined by Carpe Diem, a huge space offering every dining option from breakfast pit stops to full blown à la carte, plus a range of innovations from recycled rainwater to ethically-sourced furniture

Dear Rojer and Team

I just wanted to say a huge Thank You for a special night last night. The service, food and wine were lovely and all the girls really appreciated the effort your team went to.

Also, thanks so much for the bottle of Champagne – I have already ordered my breakfast in bed from my husband on Sunday morning!

We hope to visit you again soon.

Good luck with everything.

Kindest Regards,

Janev

Good Morning

Robin, I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and your staff for a great night out at Carpe Diem last night. We had a fantastic night out and it was a lovely opportunity for our management team to 'let their hair down'. The service was great in particular the lady with the long dark hair and fringe and the gentleman with short hair and the clip board (apologies for not getting their names).

I wish you and your team a Happy Christmas

Kind regards

Lucy

"The food was superb, the service friendly and professional and the ambience relaxed and mellow - ideal for dining. I was most interested in learning about its holistic approach to all things ecological. As a doctor I was even more pleased by the approach t of using no or low fat transfats-based foods on the menu. All in all I score it 9 out of 10 (nothing can score 10 out of 10)"

"On behalf of Computershare, I would like to thank you and your team for making our Communications Centre Presentation night a wonderful success.

You managed our night for 170 people with apparent ease. You were well prepared, and the food, service, and atmosphere was as excellent as we have ever experienced at Carpe Diem.

Our staff have had nothing but praise for the night and for your service staff and your chefs. Many of the team have already returned with their families to re-sample the experience created by Carpe Diem.

We will have no hesitation in recommending Carpe Diem as a venue for a large scale function and look forward to holding many more there ourselves.

Kind Regards,

Charles. "
