The Coconut Tree - Bristol - Clifton Triangle

Quirky restaurant with fabulous authentic food. Staff really helpful. Recommended .

great food, good menu selection, very busy but good atmosphere

Very good Food, good service! All around good experience! Recommend

Interesting Sri Lankan food (which I have never had before) A good variety, which suited different tastes and palates, in our family of 4. Best of all, we were able to park right outside the front door!

It took the staff a while to ask us if we wanted any drinks. After we eventually ordered, two dishes turned up for a couple hof people and then there was a 15 minute gaps before anything else showed up. Nobody came over the update us or apologise in that time and when looking over at the waitress, she was sat down yawning most of the time. When the rest of the food did arrive, the rice was cold which we sent back, only for them to bring another cold one again. They did agree to take it off the bill. Finally, we sat with empty plates in front of us for about 15/20 minutes. Not great experience at all.

Three of us shared 9 dishes, all absolutely delicious. Great service and atmosphere. I would highly recommend

Really great evening, delicious food. Lots of choice for veggie and gluten free.

Very tasty Sri Lankan Street food. Cooked fresh with care. Vegan options tastier than meat options. Atmosphere was relaxed.

Wonderful ambience and tasty dishes. Relaxed atmosphere and attentive staff

All was amazing, great food and service. Would come again!

Great food, excellent cocktails (Mezcal was superb). Only downside is the level of noise, music far too loud to allow civilised conversation. Maybe I'm just old...

Wonderful service done with a smile that will warm you even in the dead of winter. The food was divine and the cocktails were dangerous.

Great dishes but we ordered too much food! 3 “tapas” dishes per person is too much, 2 is plenty.

We are parents of young children but we would not let them run wild and annoy others eating in a restaurant. Shame the parents and staff could not take appropriate steps the avoid a negative experience for other diners.

From the moment we stepped into some kind of rollercoaster to eat and drink as much in a small period of time. The waiter told us not to order as less as we ordered in the first place because there is no time to order later. I think it's the concept but if I knew this in front I would order less food, by the way that was very, very nice.

Very lovely staff. Great food. Table by the window a bit cramped for my 6ft self

Amazing food, great service, will be coming back again soon!

Very nice food and drinks. My daughters fav place. Would I go back? 🤔….maybe 👍

The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was amazing.

Great food. Good, friendly service. I would highly recommend it.

Good food, good service, good atmosphere, really enjoyed it .

Great place. Second time visiting and it was excellent. Fantastic food, really relaxed atmosphere and great service.

Food scrumptious! Service slow! Waited over 1hr for 1st drink!

Second visit and didn't dissapoint. Food was tasty and exciting. Did prefer the background music the first time we visited which was more suited to the restaurant. Also children just got a plain lemonade as the 'zingy lemonade'. They received cloudy lemonade last time.

I took my daughters and daughters in laws for a meal to celebrate one of my daughters upcoming marriage. All 8 of us had a great time, food excellent and staff really lovely. Highly recommend 😊

Fab food, great service and a nice vibe. We’ll be back!!

Our visit was ok - very disappointed that cocktail didn’t arrive in the elephant shaped cup as shown on menu - ordered rice but didn’t arrive until after whole meal eaten - as a staple part would have been much better if had been able to eat the meal with the rice! Ice cream - frozen solid and I mean solid so no chance of eating until had defrosted a bit. All in all underwhelming and won’t be rushing back.

Food was amazing, my wife is gluten free and a vegetarian, it was perfect for her, the food had so many lovely flavours.

Amazing meal, as always. Looking forward to our next visit in Cheltenham.

Wonderful first visit... amazing food and lovely atmosphere. Can really recommend

Super fun, loved it had such a great time will definitely go back

Staff welcoming, great food and lots of vegan options, thank-you

I had been looking forward to this for weeks, we booked it for my daughters birthday however when we arrived (bearing in mind it was only lunch time, you still had evening service to go) we were told there was no pork dishes left, no calamari dishes left and no lamb dishes left, this left a very limited selection. Then we ordered drinks which considering there were only two tables taken and we were one of them took an eternity, however more of a pressing issue was that my daughters friend we is diabetic was told (on the second visit back to our table) that there were no sugar free drinks other than water, no Diet Coke etc.. so water it was. Finally when the food arrived we had to go searching other tables for knives and forks as there were not enough ton the table and the front of house staff were not attentive enough for us to be able to get their attention. Needless to say we were not very impressed overall and have no intention of returning, a shame because the food we did have was very nice although not what we would have chosen had we had the usual options.

Family celebration for daughter’s 21st birthday. Restaurant was cold. Food was generally a bit disappointing (some dishes way too salty and watery). Food was delivered to restaurant in large bags (and reheated on site?) don’t think anything cooked fresh. Staff were helpful in lighting candles on cake and providing extra plates.

Really good food and lovely cocktails. Great service too. We will come again.

The food was incredible and the staff were very accommodating and friendly

Exceptional food at extraordinary reasonable price. Great service and very lively atmosphere. Can’t recommend enough.

Amazing tasting food. Excellent value. Great atmosphere and friendly service.

Great food and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Bristol

Great atmosphere. Staff really engaging and informative, food exciting and great cocktails. Would definitely recommend
