Greek£Clifton TriangleMon-Fri 11:00-04:00; Sat 12:00-05:00; Sun 12:00-01:00
Taka Taka grills gyros and souvlaki on the Clifton Triangle until 04:00 or later, the Greek kebab counter that closes out student Bristol's nights.
Try: Gyros wrap
Tip: It is the honourable end to a Park Street night; the halloumi gyros converts even committed doner loyalists.
Fish and chips££Wapping WharfRestaurant Tue-Thu 12:00-20:00; Fri-Sat 12:00-20:30; Sun-Mon 12:00-16:00; takeaway to 21:00
Salt & Malt fries gluten-free fish and chips across five Cargo 2 containers on Bristol's harbourside, part of chef Josh Eggleton's Pony family.
Try: Takeaway fish and chips
Tip: The whole fryer is gluten-free, making this the safe chippy for coeliacs; takeaway runs later than the dining room.
Pizzeria£BedminsterMon-Tue 12:00-21:00; Wed-Sat 12:00-21:30; Sun 12:00-21:00
Pizzarova stretches Bristol-made sourdough at four sites across the city; the North Street branch keeps Bedminster in quick, blistered pizzas.
Try: Sourdough margherita
Tip: Park Street, Gloucester Road and Whiteladies Road branches run the same dough if North Street has a queue.
Bakery£Gloucester RoadMon-Sat 07:30-16:00; Sun 09:00-14:30
Parsons is Bristol's own everyday bakery chain, hand-baking rolls, pasties and iced buns; the Gloucester Road shop feeds the indie mile cheaply.
Try: Pasty and an iced bun
Tip: This is the budget counter, not the sourdough one; a lunch here costs less than a flat white elsewhere on the road.
Falafel£Old CityMon-Fri 11:00-16:15; Sat 11:00-17:00; closed Sun
Eat a Pitta's Glass Arcade counter at St Nicholas Market is Bristol's falafel institution, piling boxes with salads, hummus and pomegranate seeds.
Try: Falafel box with unlimited salads
Tip: The market queue moves fast but peaks 12:30 to 13:30; four other branches cover Clifton, Broadmead, Queens Road and Gloucester Road.
British£HarboursideSun-Thu 12:00-21:00; Fri-Sat 12:00-22:00
Pieminister began in Bristol in 2003 and its Broad Quay restaurant plates the Mothership: pie, mash, gravy and minted peas facing the harbour.

Tip: Serious vegan and gluten-free pie options make this the group-friendly cheap dinner in the centre.
