pleasant dinner

First time in a Carebbean restaurant, so it is a bit hard to judge compared to other vegan places. Ackee & Tofu and Vegeballs were tasty, a bit less the Ital stew. the juice was really enjoyable. the difference between an average place an fi real is the owner, a very friendly and kind lady that made our dinner more than pleasant.

Unique, interesting place, great food

It's unfortunate that as a vegetarian, when you hear about Caribbean food it doesn't feel very exciting since there do not seem to be many opportunities to eat at 100% veg places.

So this is an extra incentive to check this place out. We walked up toward Fi Real from Castle park through a slightly shabby part of town that doesn't give any hint of what lies ahead. After seeing a number of closed down shops on the street, it was surprising to walk into this bright and very clean place.

We had the ackee and tofu dish which was delicious, along with a side of fried plantain, unfortunately we weren't staying in Bristol for long otherwise we would have come back to try some of the other stuff on the menu.

The selection on offer did seem slightly limited when we were there, but I expect they can expand it in time.

They also have interesting an sorrel ginger drink which tastes very natural and fresh (although perhaps a little sugary for my taste). They seem to have added some more ginger/pineapple drinks, I would definitely also check these out if returning.

The manager/owner is a very friendly lady who is happy to answer any questions you have about any of the food.

Pros: Tasty food with passion, Friendly + knowledgable owner/staff, Good prices

Good, Hearty Food

Mmmmm.... Very tasty Caribbean food. Very fresh and flavourful. Worth the trip!

We had Sweet and Sour Tofu, Ital stew and blueberry cake. Highly recommended.

Pros: fresh, friendly, filling
