Located in the South Gloucestershire village of Almondsbury, Aztec Hotel & Spa lies in the heart of the West Country – perfect for those exploring the nearby city of Bristol, or for families stopping over on their way to Devon or Cornwall.
The crowning glory of this exceptional establishment is its restaurant. Having recently introduced a new menu, The Curious Kitchen was awarded a second AA rosette. Head chef Marcus Payne’s new dishes have been highly praised for their well-balanced flavours, celebration of high-quality local produce and focus on traditional cooking methods. Colourful paintings from a talented local artist decorate the walls of the dining room, which also features plenty of comfy seating and opens out to a lovely garden terrace.
For those who enjoy a weekend lie-in, the hotel’s Saturday brunch is a must. Guests with a sweet-tooth will love the mouth-watering homemade crumpet, which comes topped with ricotta, blueberries, lemon, honey and thyme. If you prefer something savoury, choose the charred squash with tomato and chilli relish, or opt for the toasted brioche bun with charred bacon and a crispy fried duck egg. You can even add a glass of Prosecco for special celebrations.
With its cosy atmosphere and modern interior, the restaurant is the perfect location for lunch and dinner too. Couples looking for a peaceful, romantic evening will be accommodated in the restaurant, while larger parties can book a private room. Popular mains here include wild mushroom risotto with chives and lemon, and tiger prawn linguine with roasted shallots, chilli and garlic. Grilled dishes range from succulent rib-eye steak to tender, marinated chicken breast. In addition to all this, The Curious Kitchen serves a range of delectable afternoon teas. From the classic cream tea and the celebration tea to the delightful children’s tea and gentleman’s tea, there’s something for everyone.
Make the most of your visit and stay the night; choose from a family double room, a junior suite for couples or solo travellers, or a premier suite for a taste of luxury. Guests can also make use of the Aztec’s outstanding spa facilities, including the hotel gym, sauna, steam room, swimming pool and hot tub.
