Papadeli at the Royal Academy

Papadeli is now open at the RWA.  This stunning art gallery is a must visit for any art lover (and cake lover now Papadeli's in the building!)


We are lucky to have such a wonderful institution in Bristol, and now more than ever, the RWA is the place to visit if you fancy a day out and a bit of culture!


Currently the RWA is showing a though-provoking and controversial exhibition by Robert Lenkiewicz. Full size canvasses grace the walls of this beautiful space - go and see what you think of the subject matter.  Perhaps most shocking is the corpse of an elderly man - certainly makes you think!

Damien Hirst was in the building yesterday, overseeing the installation of his enormous statue "Charity", making the RWA even more of a must visit this month.

After all the excitement, you're going to need to sit down and mull over what you've seen - and what better place than to install yourself in the Papadeli cafe, sip a cuppa and enjoy some gorgeous cake or salad, all made round the corner at Papadeli Alma Road.

Open 7 days a week. 9.30-5pm, 11-4.30pm on Sundays.

Papadeli cafe at the Royal Academy!

We are extremely excited about opening a cafe at Bristol's Royal Academy Art Gallery - a stunningly beautiful building at the foot of Whiteladies Road.  The cafe is due to open on April 18th and will serve good, organic coffee, sandwiches, cakes.
So now you can visit the art gallery (there are lots of exciting exhibitions planned) and it and relax over a coffee or tea.
Look forward to seeing you there!

the story so far....

the gap at the top has now been filled!

So, Christmas and New Year over, we closed the shop and cafe for two weeks whilst Hank and his team took down the old staircase, built a new one, along with a fireproof wall and porch in to the downstairs coffee shop/deli and upstairs cafe.  He got it all done and we opened again on time (more or less).  Closing a business for that length of time is pretty stressful as there is NO money coming in and everything you have taken over Christmas flies out the window.

the new top floor!

Hank is now finishing off the top floor which was built as a shell before Christmas.  The new glass doors will arrive soon, a floor will go down, bathroom in, kitchen and cookery equipment is all on its way.  We're looking to open it all at the beginning of March, which is very, very exciting.  Papa, being a teacher originally all those years ago, has been dreaming about teaching people how to do his favourite thing, which is cooking, and finally his moment has come..... well, nearly!!

We already have bookings for a hen night, some corporate cooking events and lots of interest in how to make Papa's delicious food, so things are so far so good.

If you'd like any information at all about how it's all going, what classes will be on offer or what catering services we offer - just email us info@papadeli.co.uk or phone 0117 973 6569.
