Persimmon is a modern restaurant serving fresh American cuisine in harmony with the seasons. It is located in historic Bristol, Rhode Island, a quaint, seaside town thirty minutes from Providence and an hour south of Boston. Chef/Owner Champe Speidel, with the help of his wife, Lisa, opened the thirty-eight-seat bistro in the spring of 2005, garnering regional and national praise.

Chef Speidel combines his unyielding enthusiasm for the craft with a fierce commitment to sourcing the very best ingredients and products. The menu changes a little each night to showcase Speidel’s personal culinary vision — and, of course, to keep things novel for his guests. Persimmon is a place that merges flavor, technique and passion, for a creative dining experience that is truly one of a kind.
