With so many great restaurants you’ll be spoilt for choice in Bristol. With Michelin star establishments, AA rosette winners and top quality ethnic eateries, it’s the place to be for foodies.

If you go at the right time of the year you may also catch one of the food festivals. In 2009 there was a wine and food fair in July and an Organic food festival in September.

Top of the restaurant wish list for food fanatics has to be Casamia in Westbury-on-Trym, a Michelin star restaurant that everyone’s talking about. Owned by the Sanchez-Iglesias family, Jonray and Peter are the stars of the kitchen. The cuisine is inspired from strong Italian roots with hints of French and Spanish infusion. Expect classic dishes with modern cooking techniques and some highly original concepts. They produce their own bread, pastries, ice creams and petits fours.The seasonal menus use produce from the surrounding areas of Bristol and the south-west and weekly deliveries from Italy allow the kitchen to use products such as truffles and Amalfi lemons.

Greens’ on Zetland Road in the city centre is the perfect place to go for top quality food and it’s run by chef brothers Simon and Andrew Green who have worked in some of the most creative kitchens in the UK, including Chez Bruce and the River Cafe in London.The kitchens make everything from scratch including stocks and breads. The a la carte evening menu showcases modern European dishes and the wine list is carefully sourced from boutique wineries in the New World and young producers from the classic European regions.

The Glassboat, moored alongside Bristol Bridge, is well situated for great views of the river. Built out of architectural salvage it has big glass windows (from which it takes its name), walnut floors, and the barge and a solid marble bar from the old St Nicholas’s fish market. The food is tasty and reasonably priced at this modern city venue.

There are just a few recommendations but there are choices from all over the world. A Bristol business directory will list local food venues and a Bristol restaurant guide will be helpful for making choices about where to eat, but you can also ask the locals where they like to go, or just see what takes your fancy as you walk the streets. It is always a good sign if the restaurant is full of guests and the locals eat there.

Wherever you choose to eat in Bristol, you can be sure there are still plenty more excellent restaurants. Why not find yourself some places to stay in Bristol and then try out as many restaurants and cuisines as possible.

It is even more desirable if you aren’t technically inclined.

When you are thinking about taking a physician contract, it’s natural to be excited and to look forward to a long career. There can be pitfalls for the unwary, however, and here are some questions wich may help you avoid those pitfalls.

Q: Should I hire a lawyer to review my physician employment contract?

A: In general, yes. The choice of a lawyer is critical. Find someone well versed in medical contract law, as well as the state’s laws in which you will practice. Try to find an attorney recommended by someone else. Also, make sure the attorney has enough time to review the contract in a timely manner. Negotiations could be hampered by a slowed response time.

Q: If I am a resident, when should I decide upon accepting a position?

A: As a general rule, the earlier the better. The more time you have to work on license applications, hospital privileges, finding a new home and moving arrangements, the less stress you’ll encounter. Many hospitals recruit for summer positions in the fall and early winter. Don’t think all of the “good” physician jobs are taken by the end of winter. Physicians throughout the year because contract expirations can occur at any time. Don’t worry. Have confidence that the right position will be available.

Q: Who handles negotiations, me or my recruiter?

A: Whenever possible, your recruiter should handle negotiations for physician practice opportunities. Having a liaison reduces the potential for heated arguments between two parties. Keep in mind, professional recruiters regularly perform this task.
