Restaurants in Bath

  1. A

    Gascoyne Place

    A stylish new restaurant on Sawclose, housed inside a renovated gentleman's club, and split into sections: two starchy-white dining rooms, plus a mezzanine, cosy snug and a candlelit bar with original medieval wall. The menu's classic British, the ambience authentic Bath.

    Onefishtwofish

    Lights twinkle overhead and the tables are crammed in under a barrel-brick roof at this extraordinary cellar restaurant, which ships in its seafood from Devon ports, and cooks up everything from wonton salmon to Marseillaise bouillabaisse.

    Café Retro

    A café from the old school, harking back to pre-latte days. Settle in amongst arty types, earth mothers and truanting students for a slap-up burger or a veggie lasagne. Sarnies and takeaway coffees are available from Retro2Go next door.

    Sally Lunn's

    Sally Lunn's Famous Bun is synonymous with the city - it's been served at this superfrilly tearoom for three centuries. Actually more a bread than a cake, the bun can be eaten with either sweet or savoury toppings - and don't confuse it with the Bath Bun, which is smaller, sweeter and studded with currants.

    Demuth's

    Veggie food's all very well, but it's about as tasty as cold tea, right? Wrong. This wonderful place dispels all the myths about vegetarian cooking - it's one of Bath's most innovative eateries, churning out exciting dishes such as vegetarian dharamsala thali or Marrakech chickpea tagine.

    Parisien

    Parisien Oh la la - a little soupçon of Paris in the heart of Bath. It's all authentically Gallic - tables on the terrace, moules frites on the menu and the crispiest frites this side of the English Channel.

    Olive Tree Restaurant

    Chic and sleek, and one of the finest restaurants in town, this understated place with oak floors and dark leather furniture serves up a top-notch menu of simple modern British and French cuisine. You'll find it inside the Queensberry Hotel.

    Hole In The Wall

    Another refined refectory that adventures through Anglo-French flavours - braised pork with Puy lentils, or Chew Magna lamb with potato fondant - in a cellar dining room that's half country restaurant, half urbane elegance.

    Firehouse Rotisserie

    Not as starry as some of Bath's restaurants, perhaps, but Fireworks is still a winner, especially if you like your flavours hot 'n' spicy. Cajun cooking, Louisiana chicken and brick-fired pizza are the trademarks.

    Walrus & the Carpenter

    There's a warren of rooms at this fun and funky place dishing up top-notch homemade global grub with a heavy vegetarian bias. It does brilliant burgers, Mediterranean snacks and some killer Walrus cocktails.

    Adventure Café

    Californian bohemia mixes with urban chic at this groovy café-cum-hangout, all picture windows, distressed wood and deep sofas. Cappuccinos by morning, ciabattas at noon and cocktails after dark.

    Kindling

    Another locals' favourite renowned for its carefully crafted café food and Manhattan coffee-shop vibe; plus free wi-fi for you and toys for the nippers (or maybe the other way round).

    Yum Yum Thai

    Bangkok canteen food served up fast and fresh in a light, very-white interior. Pad Thai noodles, stir-fried sea bream and curried mussels with nary a dash of MSG in sight.

    Boston Tea Party

    The city's original lunch stop is still jamming in the punters with its zingy citrus drinks, fruit smoothies and gourmet wraps, soups and sandwiches.

    FishWorks

    This restaurant (half fishmonger, half seafood bistro) has proved so popular it's spawned 12 other outposts, but this is the original and best. Piscatorial treats sit on ice-packed trays; choose something to cook at home or let the chefs do the work while you soak up the street-market vibe.
