Signature dishes: Handmade pasta
Must order: The day's fresh pasta with a low-intervention European wine from the list.
Tip: The wine list leans organic and biodynamic and doubles as a bottle shop; lunch is the quiet way in on Fridays.
Address: 31 Baldwin Street, Bristol BS1 1RG
The Ox has grilled charcoal-cooked beef in a wood-panelled bank vault under Corn Street in Bristol's Old City since 2013, with roasts on Sundays.
Signature: Charcoal-grilled beef, Sunday roast
Order: Steak from Buxton Butchers beef, or the Sunday roast served until 17:00.
Tip: Monday is bring-your-own-wine night with corkage from £10, which turns a steak dinner into genuine value.
Little Hollows rolls its pasta by hand on Chandos Road in Redland, Bristol, and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand alongside starred neighbour Wilsons.
Signature: Hand-rolled fresh pasta
Order: The day's stuffed pasta; the menu swerves the standard penne pomodoro.
Tip: It sits two doors from Wilsons, so Chandos Road can cover aperitivo, pasta and a starred tasting menu in one street.
The Blaise Inn is a Bib Gourmand village pub by Blaise Castle estate in Henbury, north Bristol, worth the bus ride for its two-course lunch deal.
Signature: Two-course set lunch
Order: The set lunch, then a walk through the Blaise Castle parkland next door.
Tip: Kitchen closes between lunch and dinner; Sunday food stops at 16:00 sharp, so aim for a 13:00 roast sitting.
Dongnae serves Korean cooking on Chandos Road in Redland, Bristol, a Michelin Guide listing whose great-value set lunch runs at about £24 a head.
Signature: Korean fried wings

Tip: Sister restaurant to Bokman; while Bokman rebuilds after its kitchen fire, this is where that team's cooking lives.
Pasture grills 35-day dry-aged West Country beef over live fire opposite St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol, the flagship of a growing steak group.
Signature: Dry-aged steak cooked over fire
Order: A sharing cut cooked over the coals, with bone marrow mash on the side.
Tip: Weekend evenings book out; a counter seat at lunch gets the same beef with a shorter wait and a quieter room.
