Whether it is the handmade sushi, the bowls of ramen, tempura, wagyu beef or the soft bao buns, Kibou is a worthy addition to the Clifton restaurant scene. Add to that they have a huge selection of whiskies too. This is the fifth outlet of the Kibou brand (Cheltenham and London, among them) and it’s set over two colourfully decorated floors (bold prints and geisha murals); an intricate burgundy Japanese acer tree also weaves itself up and around the first floor windows, which look out over Clifton Village.

Based in a colourful area of Bristol, KIBOU is the perfect hangout spot for both Japanese culture fans and those who are seeking unique experiences as its interior and food capture the most exotic aspects of Japan. You can find walls covered with vibrant art and upbeat service that will get you in the mood for a little adventure. And indeed, the menu highlight is, of course, ramen that comes with four rich toppings: chicken nanban (battered chicken thigh), chashu (braised pork belly), tantanmem (sweet and spicy pork) and seasonal vegetables.

What: Afternoon tea purists may need to look away for this one, but for those looking to branch out from traditional scones and sarnies, Kibou offers a tiered stand of Japanese favourites. Expect prawn tempura rolls, salmon tataki and sea bream nigiri, followed by a selection of mochi ice cream, cinnamon and apple gyoza, and custard dorayaki topped with strawberry compote. Vegetarians are taken care of too, with a completely plant-focused menu packed full of avocado nigiri and vegetable temaki.
