Styled like an exotic casbah—marble staircases, belly dancers, magicians, low seats and cushions—but with a classically French menu, this place may sound like a confusing mix. Well, somehow it works and the fact that it is a sister restaurant to the Glass Boat should give you an idea of the very high quality here. Upstairs in the dining area, you'll find main courses such as smoked loin of lamb with candied tomatoes and trio of John Dory, scallops and crispy king linguine. Try the Byzantium food lantern - a two-tiered metal lantern containing various tiny nibbles. The wine list is divided into grape varieties and house wine begins at £10 a bottle. Equally good for large parties, business lunches (set menus available) and couples, a meal here is truly an indulgent evening out, and the late licence makes it popular with a certain type of decadent and well-off Bristolian, who can indulge their colonial fantasies.
