La Ruca - Bristol, City of

This is a really good cafe which you enter through the family shop. Up the stairs is a very friendly cafe. They catered for our party of four which included a vegan, and a coeliac. I had a chimichanga with chicken which was really good. Coffee and tea were brilliant.

I wasn't particularly intrigued to try La Ruca but I decided to give it a try and take some food to go...I was pleasantly surprised with the flavours that were packed in their tortilla...but the veggie chimichanga was out of this world! Very tasty, very filling! Pure comfort food!

A bit out of the way given it's above a retail food shop...and inscence, Bees wax candles etc....downstairs. Quite small, perhaps a dozen tables. Cosy feel with a nice ambience even on a rainy autumn morning. I had Full English and wife the vege English. Servings were ample albeit not huge. My very seasoned sausage was finger size with a ok piece of bacon. 4 half button mushrooms. Big eaters may not be satisfied. I was a tiny bit miffed that they refused my request for poached eggs instead of fried. The reason was because it was very busy; however it absolutely was not. Never mind. Cost for both meals including a very good coffee each a bit under £14.

Visiting La Ruca is like visiting old friends-the welcome is genuine, the food is delicious the coffee is great! The decor is uplifting all in all a trip to La Ruca makes you feel good, very good!

3 of us ate and all had fantastic fresh and healthy meals. We also shared a desert. The service was super friendly. Very well priced. Tip- look out for the specials.
