Caper and Cure – What a little gem of a bistro-style restaurant this is, nestled in Stokes Croft. Great cookery understanding, incorporating classic cooking styles and flavours with a modern flare. I’ve been here quite a few times and I never leave disappointed.


I’m not at all sure what my camera decided to focus on here but I liked it anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️ 📸 Fujifilm XT3 📍 Stokes Croft (Caper and Cure) #bnwstreet #black_and_white #blackandwhitestreetphotography #streetphotographer #street_ographers #urbanandstreet #ur… instagr.am/p/CyP2lFgIe55/



I've had too many genteel tartares lately, which is not what I want from a tartare. I want gherkins & capers & Worcestershire sauce to slap me round the face shouting "eat your bloody beef". Caper and Cure's was a classic of the genre, not too finely minced, boisterously flavoured


Although I never order them, Caper and Cure always has a tempting vegetarian dish or two, essential in Stokes Croft I imagine. Gnocchi Parisienne with a creamy, ripe Cashel blue sauce, roasted red onions & spiced squash was another one, confirmed by the couple of forkfuls I stole.


Doubling up on the beef Caper and Cure with an 8oz onglet, ruddy and rugged and fries so French they practically sneered at you with derision when you dredged them through an expertly-made béarnaise was perked up by the clever idea of spinning green beans through a Caesar dressing


Cherry-chocolate vibe of a Rasteau Grenat from Domaine de Beaurenard (not a PX, shock horror) was echoed in a berry compote-blobbed chocolate parfait, dark & dense w cocoa, that came w biscuitty slabs of almond tuile Caper and Cure, chosen ahead of the two crèmes: caramel & brûlée


Look at the sheen on this salted chocolate tart with cherry puree, a nibbled, biscuitty cocoa nib tuile and yoghurt ice cream whose tart dairy cleansed and revived Caper and Cure. So shiny you could almost see my face in it. But not quite. Which is probably best for all involved.





Salt cod fritters Caper and Cure were like mini versions of the famous croquetas from Bell's Diner back in the day -coincidentally a stone's throw away in Montpelier- while Carlingford oysters in that sweet spot between sweet (spot) & briney (spot) needed barely a squeeze of lemon


Thanks to Edible Reading for introducing me to Caper and Cure in Bristol. I didn’t fancy dessert, so they let me order oysters off the specials menu instead. Perfect meal.
