Gambas Prawn Tapas Bar
Gambas
A Spanish tapas bar in a container at Wapping Wharf, specialising in plancha-grilled prawns with views over the Floating Harbour.
Located in the Cargo 2 container food hall (Museum Street) at Wapping Wharf, the bar is run by the Eggleton siblings, whose vegetable-focused restaurant Root is also in the same area. Cooking on the plancha is its speciality, and the signature dishes are garlic chilli prawns (pil pil) and wild red prawns. The menu also includes Spanish tortilla, Iberian ham, croquetas, plancha sardines and Catalan crema. Guests can see the Bristol harbour, and the relaxed atmosphere suits a casual drink. Expect to pay around £30–45 per person, and booking is advised at weekends. It is about a ten-minute walk from the city centre, close to the M Shed museum.
