Suyuan Bistro

You'll find yourself on one of Bishopston's most reliably excellent stretches, surrounded by independent shops and proper local energy. Suyuan does the kind of Sichuan food that doesn't compromise—expect numbing spice, wok-scarred flavours, and dishes that make you sit up and pay attention rather than just fill your belly. The 4.9 rating from nearly 200 reviewers speaks volumes about what's happening in that kitchen. This is the sort of place where regulars know exactly what to order and newcomers leave planning their next visit.
