I’ve, really missed going out to restaurants to eat. This was taken at the Botanist in Bristol, one of the last restaurants I reviewed before the lockdown! The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we eat out almost beyond recognition in some places. Hundreds of restaurants have closed, never to re-open again which has robbed good people of livelihoods and food lovers of great places to eat, drink and socialise. As a food critic, I don’t know what the future will hold for me? Although I have been writing restaurant reviews for a few years now, it was only in the last couple of months that I started to get my work printed in a local publication. I really do hope that I can continue to do what I really enjoy doing and hopefully progress into other publications? But more importantly I sincerely hope that the hospitality industry survives this pandemic and comes back bigger and stronger? #food #foodie #foodwriter #foodcritic #restaurant #restaurantcritic #foodwriterlife #foodblog #foodblogger #foodinfluencer #thebotanist #thebotanistbristol #bristol #bristolfood #bristolfoodie #foodjournalist #bristolblogger #bristollife #bristolmagazine #directlocal #directlocalmagazine #foodphotography #foodstagram #journalist #writer #restaurantreview #foodreview #foodbristol #bristoljournalist #instafoodie (at The Botanist, Bristol) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKjoZr3jnr5/?igshid=1940mpgedxwcb

ON THE BLOG (link in bio) - Exciting and imaginative dishes - @rootbristol succinct menu is truly a showcase of the best in seasonal veg. Badged as a small plates restaurant that ensures vegetables receive star billing while serving meat on the side’, Root does exactly what it says on the tin, with the added bonus that the meat and fish courses are equally as delicious, and faultless to match. #Bristol #bristolrestaurant #vegetables #bristolfood #bristolfoodie #cauliflowerpakora #foodblogger #foodblogfeed #bibgoumand #instafood (at Root) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxWxvjNAsHZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1thfcyhh8xc3m

Master Chef finalist Larkin Cen of @wokyko is absolutely genius. The food is world class. My personal fave is the rare beef onglet steak. It was seared to perfection, then when you put in your mouth, it was just melting. Just wow!. Everything is just spot on. Highly recommend this place. Oh, you can watch the wokstars in action in their open kitchen which is amazing.🍜🥡🍤🥢🥟 Swipe left to see for yourself. ⬅️ ⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️ •rare beef onglet steak 🐮•almond tiger prawn toast 🍤•crispy duck bao 🦆 •kfc bao 🐔•beef ramen 🍜 •kfc ramen 🍜 •salted caramel & coconut ice cream bao 🍦🥥•chocolate peanut butter popsicle 🍭__________________________________________#wokyko #wokykokauto #clifton #baos #ramens #smallplates #asianfood #amazing #yummmers #foodinbristol #bristolfood #bristolbloggers #bristolfoodie #bristolbest #foodporn #foodie #foodstagram #foodgasm #foodonig #foodoninstagram #bestasian2018 #goodfood #foodstylist #foodstagram #foodblogger #foodheaven (at Woky Ko) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btxuc-cnidC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yfrp7v80f3dp
