Reading this, it feels like Bristol isn't lacking talent or demand (which would be far tougher problems to fix), but simply a permanent home where both can meet regularly.
Yes, yes and three times yes. Dining in a restaurant has become so pricey in recent years that the rise of the food hall has been a great way of keeping things affordable but where quality is still high. There’s a great example of an excellent indoor food hall close to Bristol in Newport. With a caveat that it replaced a more traditional market hall and so could be seen as an example of gentrification (with all the double edges that particular sword has), if Newport can have it, then surely this would be a no brainer for Bristol. I guess it's just a case of where?
Agreed - and an indoor food market too - with a butcher, green grocer etc, and the old indoor classics like a haberdashery. The Cardiff indoor market is great. St Nicks is good for lunch food, but most of the shops are tourist gimmicks, not weekly shopping stalls for locals.

This place in A Bond or equivalent in B Bond. Amazing roof, views to the suspension bridge, Clifton wood and all the way down the docks.
