We had a really excellent family meal at the Cow & Sow including one of the best steaks I've ever had. Whilst it's not cheap you absolutely get what you pay for. Every dish was delicious and the quality of the ingredients was outstanding, especially the meat as you would expect. All the staff were friendly and attentive but a special mention for our waitress Liv who was brilliant. She was warm, charming and anticipated out needs before we did - really outstanding service so thank you! Would definitely recommend for meat lovers or anyone looking to treat themselves to a special meal out.

We visited Cow & Sow for the first time this lunchtime & were both very impressed. The steak was perfect, both the rib eye and the flat iron. The sides were on another level and the cocktails/drinks were also top tier. Probably one of the best steaks I’ve had out in the UK - and in comparison to a similar, popular, restaurant - Pasture, I personally think Cow & Sow is superior. It’s a shame we don’t have a branch in Cardiff, but I’ll be sure to come back when I’m in Bristol or visit when I’m working away in Birmingham next. The service was also brilliant, served by Jamie and Erik and they both gave a genuine, personable service. Great recommendation from Erik on the brisket starter. Overall, extremely impressed and we will be back. I don’t usually leave reviews but felt our experience had to be shared. Look forward to trying the Sunday roast soon too.

Me and my partner came here for the first time for our 6 year anniversary. The service was amazing, talking us through the process and suggesting what they think is best for us, also every staff member who approached us said happy anniversary which was lovely! We were given a free prosecco each to celebrate and some free sides that we didn’t ask for which really gave us the whole experience. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family☺️ thank you to everyone there!

Cow and Sow delivered a genuinely wonderful experience. The meat was excellent, and the sharing platters are a real highlight — great quality, well put together, and ideal if you want to try a few different cuts. Service was spot on throughout: friendly, attentive, and well paced. The overall selection is impressive and makes it easy to build a meal that feels special without being fussy. Absolutely worth a visit. It’s not quite my fav in Bristol but not far off

I find that steakhouses can be underwhelming, and this wasn’t an exception. To start on a positive note, the chips, alongside the oxtail croquettes, were amazing !!!! Both the stars of the show. The other sides we ordered, Mac and cheese, broccoli gratin and the sauces were also good. The caramel tart dessert was 10/10. On the other hand, the pork belly starter was not good. The meat was very dry and there was a ‘crispy’ layer sprinkled on top but whatever this was did nothing for the dish, it seemed like it was just hard pieces that were hard to chew and not crispy at all. My partner and I both ordered medium rare ribeye, unfortunately my steak was overcooked a level or two above his despite us ordering the exact same. As I usually order, rare but the waiter recommend I had medium rare due to the type of steak, this was quite disappointing. The service was also rather disappointing as we did not receive adequate attention or care throughout our meal, with dirty dishes left on our table for a while. This is not something I would usually complain about however the restaurant was quite empty at this point. Our dessert was also forgotten about for over half an hour. Side note- I went to use the bathroom and when pulling up the lid the entire seat fell clean off on to the floor… I just think for a restaurant as expensive and prestigious certain standards should be upheld.

Buenosado is a top-rated Argentine restaurant located in Redland, Bristol. Known for its incredible steaks and warm ambience, it promises an unforgettable culinary experience. Diners rave about the juicy, flavorful steaks and delightful starters like Chorizo al Malbec, paired with exquisite desserts such as banoffee pie.
