Acorn Vegetarian Kitchen in Bath and North East Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Could not recommend highly enough. I can't imagine missing meat for a second, the quality of the ingredients and creativity of the food is a delight. It was truly wonderful and will be returning many more times.

My partner and I had Dinner here on May 26th - the evening began with a massive cringe when as we arrived two customers were just leaving and complaining to the staff about the card machine not working and in fact just walked out - at the time we thought that was rude - but by the the time we'd finished our meal, I wish we'd done the same.....Firstly the staff's attitude was just generally rude - it's one of those places where you feel like you, as a customer, are a bother and you just don't feel comfortable which is never a good sign......Secondly, it took 40mins for our first dish to arrive, which was a few rough radishes on a plate - then a bowl of cold soup - then some flabby ravioli - they forgot the next dish which should have been Arancini - then we were rushed onto our "Desert" which was a chocolate brownie that was so hard it was literally inedible. Our bottle of water was rushed off the table before we'd even finished and the total price for this "meal" was north of £120 (including red wine). A truly terrible place that was so bad that my partner and I talked about it for the rest of the night - it's places like this that give vegan / vegetarian independents a bad name - so I would avoid it and find somewhere else to eat in Bath.

This place surpassed all expectations.The FOH were kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and excellent in their roles. Faultless.The food was faultless. Each dish will live long in the memory, the confidence in the simplicity was inspiring. The Radish & cashew starter was an incredible introduction, and each dish that followed continued to amaze!12/10. I don't think I'm able to recommend this place highly enough with words. Just book here and eat here.

New to the area so wasn't sure what to expect. The restaurant itself is in a lovely location down some old lanes near the cathedral. Located in a quaint old building, the restaurant is quaint and cosy with various nooks and crannies to dine in.The service was perfect - from the first welcome and all the way through the meal the team were all relaxed and personable whilst being on point and knowledgable.The menu is a selection of small sharing dishes. Each one was beautifully crafted, nicely presented and well balanced flavours. Every element was clearly home made, even the pasta and bread. We enjoyed everything we had. A Good wine and drinks list too!Everything was very reasonably priced too - ours came to £55 for two people at dinner with drinks and about 6 dishes to share which was plenty.This is a new favourite and we will be back!

We went to this restaurant today and found that, compared to the previous visit, when it was The Acorn, too much has changed not just the name. The whole concept of dishes that will surprise you with superb presentation and tantalising flawours has been abandoned for ordinary flat tasting, poorly presented dishes. The price has also reduced considerably, but so has the pleasure in the experience.

We visited the Oak restaurant, originally booked to dine out with our vegetarian friends in Bath who sadly couldn’t join us due to the latest Covid restrictions. As non-vegetarians we had thought about rearranging our plans for the evening for a meaty alternative but I’m so glad we stuck with our booking. The vegan food was exceptional. We opted for a 5 course tasting menu and every dish was mouth-wateringly good with the highlights being the white onion and wine soup, and braised sprouts and pasta in a pine nut source. The chocolate and ginger ganache with orange and shortbread rounded the meal off very nicely. Good range of sensibly priced wines and service was excellent throughout.

Last night we went to this incredible restaurant in Bath, felt immediately 'at home' and ate some absolutely fantastic vegan food. We had 5 small plates and they were all outstanding. The menu was brilliantly constructed, varied and unique. The decor was rustic, charming and homely, which was very much the atmosphere of the place. We were given excellent service by Alex, Ellis and Rebecca, who all friendly and knowledgeable about their food. For excellent quality food their pricing was very reasonable. We will definitely return and would highly recommend this place.

From mains to desserts, everything was beautifully presented and tasted perfect. The chef must be a genius. Our favorites were the beetroot and goat cheese, the squash on flatbread, the chocolate paired with beetroot sorbet, and the vanilla tart with poached pear. In other words, impossible to pick a favorite! And my group had not a single vegetarian among us!

My partner and I visited Oak Restuarant last Wednesday after visiting the Roman Baths Museum. What a place this is, cannot recommend it enough. The staff was lovely, the food was excellent and the restaurant is so mindfully set. The little tables are adorable and the polenta chips with aioli are brilliant! I then had the gnocchi and my partner had the cauliflower and they were both spectacular. Can't wait to be back and bring my friends and family :) I also would like to attend their cooking school to learn how to make these dishes myself.

The restaurant is now called the Oak. I am not a vegetarian but I have never ever tasted such a delightful and rich vegetarian meal so full of different tastes and aromas with a fantastic service and such a suggestive environment. This place is a Must-go

Fuimos el fin de semana pasado esperando las comidas sabrosas, bellamente presentadas y cuidadosamente pensadas que hemos tenido antes. Me senté abajo y hacía frío, había mucho ruido de la cocina, un poco en mal estado y necesita una reforma del ambiente.Todo el personal era encantador y muy atento. Lo mejor: la bebida de higos fue increíbleTodos los platos estaban bien, pero sentí que a todos les faltaba algo, p. Ej. gran pila de puré de remolacha con una gran cucharada de cremoso y solo un pequeño crujiente para comerlo con la textura y el sabor necesarios. Agnolotti llovizna tanto aceite que no se puede saborear. Incluso el cuenco de nueces podría haber tenido algún tipo de especia para "elevar". Todo un poco normal. Se siente como si, con un poco de pensamiento y cuidado, esto podría regresar a la antigua gloria de Bellotas, pero por el momento no vale la pena el precio francamente exorbitante.

Nos detuvimos en Acorn (la parada de camiones de Madd). La peor decisión de todas. Mi amigo pidió una hamburguesa sin pan con queso y batatas fritas. Ella consiguió hamburguesas simples y papas fritas regulares. Pedí una hamburguesa con patatas fritas y las patatas fritas estaban frías. Mi marido pidió un pescado y patatas fritas de 1 pieza. La ración fue menos de lo que le daría a un niño de cinco años. No podía creerlo. No será mi elección de lugar para parar la próxima vez. Ojalá hubiera vuelto a casa.

Me encantó el concepto de meze de plato pequeño y compartir los platos entre nosotros. Como no vegetariano / vegano, la comida fue un cambio bienvenido y muy sabroso y abundante.Los budines fueron una delicia.Una crítica, para el paté de avellana y zanahoria, la ayuda de masa madre crujiente fue mala para compartir.Servicio amable y un ambiente bastante relajado.Uno para volver

¡La mejor comida fuera! La gente encantadora de lo que ahora se llama Oak (¡de Acorn!) Nos acogió y alimentó maravillosamente. Desde consultas iniciales de reserva sobre perros y disponibilidad, hasta ambiente, niveles perfectos de atención, el delicioso banquete de cinco platos (* ese * pudín) y un excelente vino, todo fue de primera categoría. Un gran agradecimiento (y mis más sinceras felicitaciones en estos tiempos difíciles) para ellos por un delicioso almuerzo.

Comimos estilo tapas para poder probar muchos platos, ya que la mayoría eran novedosos y no podíamos imaginar cómo sabrían los platos.Todo impresionante, buen tamaño de las porciones y excelentes consejos sobre menú y vino.No logramos el postre y mi esposo, el carnívoro, no extrañó ni un poco la carne.Adelante, ten una aventura culinaria.P. s. Es un restaurante pequeño, así que en nombre de todos los restaurantes de nicho especial bijou como este, formado por pasión, no por lucro, y que impulsa la industria alimentaria británica hacia adelante. Por favor, nunca reserve y luego no se presente. Esta triste tendencia puede tener consecuencias catastróficas en los restaurantes que de otro modo serían exitosos y que dependen de llenar las mesas en las noches ocupadas.

Entonces. . . . . . Al vivir en Brighton, siempre nos hemos sentido un poco presumidos acerca de la cantidad de excelentes restaurantes vegetarianos y veganos que hay. Hemos comido en la mayoría de ellos y muchos de ellos son excelentes. Recientemente visitamos Bath y nos encontramos con Acorn por pura casualidad. Compartimos 5 platos del menú principal y cada plato era excelente. Estos incluían el curry de almendras, pan plano de calabaza y brócoli a la parrilla. Esta fue la mejor comida vegetariana que hemos probado. Esperamos volver pronto.

Honestly from the reviews and photos of the food I was expecting a little more. Neither me or my girlfriend are vege but we are open minded and don’t always eat meat. For me some of the food was a little bland and a bit basic compared to what I was expecting. Don’t get me wrong some of the plates we had were really good, like the pumpkin lentil curry - however some of the dishes were a little strange and for me didn’t work. They wasn’t bad by any means, just not for me maybe. I was expecting fine dining , and that wasn’t the case really. Maybe I set my expectations too high but was quite underwhelming for me . That being said , I would go back and try some different dishes. Staff were very friendly and it’s a nice little place.

We went to Acorn’s successor, Oak restaurant. The service was great. Loved the decor inside the restaurant. And the food was delicious! We thought it was really reasonably priced too. Highly recommend!

I'm vege, my husband isn't but believes non meat food has more flavour so he's open minded.Looking at the menu, I recognised the ingredients but couldn't imagine what the dishes tasted for looked like so we just took the plunge with 6 dishes we shared between us like Tapas which worked perfectly!Waiter (chap with glasses) was sooooo interesting to talk to and super helpful in helping us to curate a mix of dishes depending on our appetite. We also took advice on wine (my husbands looking for the ideal red) we were reck ended a Gammy but also learned about how choose wines depending on altitude and climate of where the grapes grow could suit my husbands pallet. Super interesting and wasn't patronised. A new waitres (on her 3rd shift) also helped make our evening. Definitely recommend and is really accommodating of dietary needs. I must add. Restaurants such as this, with only 10 tables can really suffer from people making bookings and not showing up. Please please don't do this. It can make or break little restaurants.

A vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Bath with a restful ambience and friendly and helpful staff. Whilst the menu was both diverse and imaginative, the food was rather under-powered in places. More confidence from the chef with seasoning and flavours would change this restaurant from good to great.

Oh dear – what has happened here? When we came a year ago we had deliciously cooked vegetarian food.But the food is now so different. Our starter of carrot and hazelnut pate was like baby food with the appearance of a cube of jelly. Then the main of chestnut mushroom and pine nut parfait came and we could not believe it, another two cubes with jelly on top.This was not COOKING – it does not even require a chef - it was just serving up pre-prepared food. Not the experience we were expecting.

Treated my plant based husband to a birthday meal here, I'm not veggie but I am happy to go without meat. The food was amazing, so tasty and worth every penny. The restaurant itself is small and nicely decorated. Definitely recommend for people who appreciate inventive and good food.

We tried by chance for a table and were lucky to get one. We then could not chose what to have so opted for the tasting menu. It proved a good decision and an adventure . The high lights were a mushroom dish, orange coloured wine, apple and sherbet , and the second dessert of chocolate mousse with parsnip sherbet and the bread was excellent . Dinner for two and wine and a bottle of water and a service charge came to £177.

We went here a little sceptical as two of us are avid meat eaters but were more than pleasantly surprised. The food was both fascinating and with clever flavours. I had the pasta dish and if I’m honest that was the only dish that lacked a little in flavour. We thoroughly enjoyed the two courses and will be returning in the summer to try the tasting menu

My husband and I stumbled upon this little gem while visiting Bath from Ireland this week. We are neither vegetarian nor vegan but enjoy new food experiences. The restaurant is small but comfortable. The menu is also minimalist but everything we tried was delicious - amazing taste combinations and flavours. The hazelnut ‘ravioli’ and the chocolate dessert were out of this world! Service was impeccable too.

We were on our fourth visit. Had no idea Acorn had changed from vegetarian to vegan. And only realised when I asked for a cappuccino. No cows milk here I was told. Ok, that’s ok. But the food is so so different from when it was veggie. From rustic gutsy dishes packed full of flavour I was sent spiralling into babyhood....The upside, polite staff, quick service, nice atmosphere.....the starter I chose carrot and hazelnut pate...Why was the consistency like puréed baby food, and looking like a cube of jelly? I couldn’t eat it. Embarrassing cos I’m not a fussy bunny. So onwards and forwards and looking forward to my main, chestnut mushroom and pine nut parfait. Oh no, another two cubes on the plate with a jelly covering on the top. Savoy cabbage was lush tho. Just again couldn’t eat it. I mean, I DO have teeth ... please bring back textured food! Came home, had some food... first time ever I’ve had to do that,,,., cogitated with husband about how different the Acorn now was and felt sad. Sorry to be negative. It’s a thumbs down from us.

What a delightful experience. The food was fantastic featuring vegan dishes we hadn't even dreamed of. All beautifully (and probably painstakingly) prepared and a real treat for the taste buds. Excellent service from waiters who knew their stuff (they needed to ... the menu was far from ordinary).All delivered in an unhurried but timely manner.We plan to return for a slightly later-in-the-evening booking to make it a feature of our evening, which it deserves.

A well constructed menu with flavours that really worked together. Very attentive staff, and a perfect ambience!

I abhor going to a restaurant and paying for food I could have cooked better myself. No such problem at the Acorn.The ambience is perfect and the menu original and interesting. Even if you are carnivore it’s worth sampling some alternative thinking on what constitutes a plate of food.Nicely balanced menu served at a good pace.Not cheap but worth it

Fabulous veggie/vegan dining experience. We hadn’t been here for a few years and it was better than ever. Delicious food; calm surroundings; excellent service. Definitely recommend I for a special occasion.

Delicious and a real treat. We loved the arancini and the artichoke veloute (with sunflower seed tortellini) were real highlights. The staff were sweet and helpful.

Popped in for lunch last week with a friend and we loved it can't wait to come back. The aranchini and the cauliflower were out favourites, so yummy!! Best restaurant in Bath!!

Seated in small basement area which was uninviting -though very welcoming front of house and good service throughout.

The food is very tasty and beautifully presented. Each item is an interesting flavour and quite unique. The price is reasonable for a mid-range eatery for food of that quality.

This year I’ve decide to do Veganuary and not wanting to deprive myself of good food i decided to book acorn as a January treat. I am pleased to say to it didn’t disappoint, didn’t miss the meat at all.

We had the tasting menu on Friday and I can’t stop thinking about it. Brilliant flavours and textures, wish I’d kept a copy of the menu so that I could recall all the bits. We had a wine pairing and our waitress talked us though all the grapes and regions. It was a real experience!! We’ll be back for valentines.

Researching vegetarian restaurants in Bath, Acorn kept coming up so I thought I would try.

Is how we felt after tonights expensive bland and salty vegan meal. We were so excited to eventually find a fine dining vegan restaurant (having attended a vegan cookery course at Demuths) and planned our weekend in Bath around visiting the Acorn... We arrived at the restaurant in great spirits and left the restaurant within the hour nearly £100 worse off and feeling physically genuinely ill with the amount of salt and almost inedible food... We had planned to have 3 courses but only managed 1 and a 1/2 (Jerusalem artichoke, beetroot starters, cauliflower and celariac mains).. Sadly to add insult to injury the service charge was automatically applied and we were feeling too unwell in the moment to dispute the quality (to be fair would like to assume they would have been receptive and apologetic)... Think they need to rethink their menu and/or chef to be less salty/ 'brown' and move to fresher more vibrant and genuinely tasty offering. Unfortunately despite my enthusiasim towards Acorn, it does not do the plant based/vegan dining experience any favours.

We thought it would be good to have a meat free meal after an over indulgent Christmas. We both eat meat and we both eat a lot. The restaurant and service were both lovely. Food wise we opted for the tasting menu with paired wines but we added on their arancini balls and a glass of champagne.

Really disappointing. One hour in to our tasting menu we were only 2 courses in. There was no explanation or apology for this and would have been ok if the portions had not been 1-2 tablespoons each time.

The food was nicely plated. But in our opinion there was a sheer lack of flavour across every course. My starter consisted of a hollowed-out beetroot filled with a bland purée - it was supposed to resemble coffee and walnut but it was tasteless, to me it had the consistency and appearance of baby food. At approximately £15 per course (based on a 2 course menu), it was astronomically overpriced. The same (or at least very similar) sauce made appearances in two other plates. In fairness with my husband's choice of stater (Velouté) a decent effort was made, so it was sad that the flavours were completely overpowered with an intense artificial truffle taste (truffle oil), as opposed to garnished with fresh truffle. My celeriac main course was lacking in quantity and it was lacking texture and flavour. The cauliflower main course was more substantial and had an array of flavours, but we could not correlate the plate to the description on the menu and weren’t convinced the flavours actually complimented each other. From a service perspective being sat downstairs next to the kitchen was far from ideal. You could hear the timer ticking off every few minutes along with a constant flurry of waiters/waitresses taking food upstairs and bringing empty plates downstairs. Sat where we were, we felt slightly 'put aside'. During the meal we were not asked if we needed anything and I cannot recall being asked about my food. My husband had finished his drink just after the main and wanted to order another drink but unfortunately did not have an opportunity to. We also proceeded to upstairs to the front to pay the bill after waiting sometime. Given the phenomenal reviews I really wanted to surprise my husband for his 30th birthday and I brought him all the way from our home in London with such high expectations. With regret, in our experience it did not deliver. After spending £40 per person for once piece of Arancini, two courses and one drink each we left hungry, disappointed and overcharged. I’m left little confused and quite sad I had to feed him fast food afterwards.

Very interesting vegetarian food. We had the butternut squash soup, carrot paste rye bread, grilled cauliflower .... all very tasty and nutty. Highly recommended if u love nuts!

Last night was my fourth time eating at Acorn over the years (twice when it was called Demuth’s). It has changed over time, previously more casual, but always been good.

This was a family meal to celebrate two 60th birthdays which was booked several months in advance. The restaurant was aware that this was a special occasion and we had preordered the chefs menu plus wine flight in advance. This was going to be an expensive and indulgent celebration!

Love that there is a vegan restaurant attempting gourmet food, but it just wasnt good enough. As a veggie, it is lovely to know you can have everything on the menu but there is only a choice of 2 starters and 2 mains and 2 puddings which is about what we get in the average restaurant anyway. It was quite nice but not particularly amazing and the cauliflower was so undercooked i couldnt get a knife through it.Presentation could have been better too. What really counts with any food is taste, and it was a bit lacking.

Went for a birthday treat as we could dress up a bit more in this stylish restaurant. Very welcoming by staff on arrival and cosy & intimate atmosphere inside.

We went here for dinner with another couple who are vegan. We were pleasantly surprised by the food, as we aren’t vegans. The tastes were incredible and it was surprisingly filling. We all had 2 courses and we split 2 bottles of wine. The bill ended up being around 125£. I would eat here again, the new corn item description doesn’t do it justice, it’s more of a ravioli. The mushroom parfait was nice, and the donkey carrot is probably the best carrot I’ve ever had. The place is a bit cramped and we had to make reservations.

The restaurant is small and cosy with a friendly atmosphere, staff were friendly and helpful. I decided to opt for 3 plates to try the different flavours. They were all beautifully presented and very tasty but the portions are small. I enjoyed the squash with umami broth and the celeriac with truffles, my partner is a bit fussy and just had the soup, he really enjoyed it.

I used to really like Acorn and it was somewhere I would go when I wanted something a bit better than standard restaurant food. It used to be great at showcasing vegetarian and vegan cooking. I have been here on a couple of occasions recently and they now offer 'plates' rather than start and main options. Many of the dishes taste the same and seem to be comprised of similar ingredients (most dishes contain nuts) and so you can end up eating two plates of almost the exact same food. In addition, the portions are incredibly small. I am in no way a 'big' eater but I didn't expect to leave the restaurant feeling hungry. I thought it was expensive for what it was, with a £10 service charge added on. I won't be back in a hurry.

A really beautiful meal, not your usual curried vegan fare. Really enjoyed the conversation with Joss about biodynamic wine. Some interesting dishes, love the celeriac with truffle and the nut roast, but not as you know it. Will be back when we're in the area.

Plant based tasting menu and wine flight. Average at best. (2.5 out of 5)

What a great experience. Lovely dining room, amazing food, and excellent service.

I really wanted my skeptical meat eating friends to try a nice vegan restaurant, so after seeing great reviews i thought Acorn would be an ideal place to bring them.

Out for a special treat with my wife we had one of the best meal ever.

We had the taster menu and it was terrible, course after course of bland food, wine that didn't complement the food and nothing warranted the price. We gave honest feedback after each course (when asked) and when we further raised the issue at the end of the night when the bill arrived the 'supervisor' lost it, raising her voice, threatening us (and her colleague who was attempting to smooth things over) and becoming completely irrational. Overall a truly shocking experience!

I had been so looking forward to my birthday vegan dinner visiting Bath for the weekend.

I cannot believe it was vegetarian. I am not vegan, but when I saw the restaurant, I was intrigued. OMG, the food was perfect, the service was great. Staff extra friendly. I wish I could get back.

A restaurant I was recommended as vegan but you wouldn't know it.

We enjoyed the chef’s tasting menu for dinner. They were kind enough to alter the menu for my gluten-free diet. The dishes were so creative and filling. The wine pairings were wonderful. The restaurant is small and cozy, and the waitstaff was knowledgeable and kind. We are non-vegetarians, but I could easily be converted with delicious food like that every day!

Just started out on my vegan journey so this may be a little unfair due to limited experience. Vastly overpriced- £11 per dish for burnt “bovril “broth. A few stalks and leaves . Not at all impressed

The food at Acorn is beautifully served, very "upscale", and very tasty creative dishes made with vegetables. You don't get "fake" anything here (like fake burgers, fake chicken, etc), but superb vegan creativity. However, the portions are very small and the price is very high. We didn't feel satiated. On the dinner menu we chose a selection of "plates" which allows you to taste different foods (it might be the only option, but perhaps you can choose a large plate), and they are each the amount of a small starter course. We would have needed to order more of them to fill up.

It's not easy finding somewhere that has really upscale veggie dining that doesn't mean a drive all the way to London. I had really high expectations from Acorn and they did not disappoint. Myself and my fiance had the taster menu with the wine flight, which was all beautifully paired with gorgeous seasonal flavours.

I do not like being told that I need 4-5 £9 'small plates' in order to have a proper dinner. I do not like paying £9 for 4 strips of unseasoned chard in a 150 ml of vegan gravy with a molecular smear of pureed squash. I do not like watching my friend eat a beautiful mountain of 'cauliflower five ways' that cost £9 also. (The 'nibbles' were great: arancini, fresh bread with nut butter, olives)

Really tasty dishes liked that we got to try lots of different things. Wine was nice, not too expensive. The building is very small but, so we went to the bar opposite to wait for our table.

Visited this fully vegan restaurant at lunchtime. Friendly young staff. Lovely decor. Food delicious but very small portions. Such a shame as our abiding memory is one of poor value for money rather than the food itself.

I went last weekend with a friend really excited to taste the food having head good things about this place. On arrival the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and explained the menu well. My friend and I decided to share 6 of the main plates between us and then a dessert each. When the food arrived it was very nicely presented and explained by staff. Unfortunately nearly all of it was very underwhelming and lacked flavour. Only the celeriac dish was tasty and memorable.

Visited Acorn having literally googled “vegan restaurants in Bath”.

OK, so I WAS a vegetarian for some 15 years, ending about 15 years ago. So myself and partner do lean in this direction. But we are also quite foodie. We've eaten in some very fine restaurants (Michellin) in our time. This is not a boast, this is to give credibility to this statement. 'The Acron' is one of the best restaurants we have eaten in, vegetarian or not. I'll also add that we took our teenage son on this occasion, who also loved it. I'll sum it up... if you can get a table, book it. You won't be disappointed.

Como vegano, siempre estoy tan feliz de ver restaurantes que ofrecen comida que no tengo que buscar en otros menús, generalmente escritos en letra muy pequeña. Sin embargo, también soy un vegano básico y quiero comida 'normal'. El hecho de que sea vegano no significa que me gusten todas las verduras, y esto es lo que ofrece este lugar. Terminé con lo que normalmente tengo que pedir, ensalada y pan. El servicio entre cursos fue muy lento. Estábamos encaramados en un banco, tan incómodos que nos fuimos sin tomar postre o café. Sin embargo, a mis amigos, que son todos cadáveres, lo disfrutaron.

Reservé esto como un experimento, muchacho, ¡fue bueno! Fabulosa comida creativa y deliciosa presentada con personal amable y eficiente. No pude calificar la comida lo suficiente. De acuerdo, la mesa estaba un poco apretada y los aseos podrían haber sido mejores, pero la comida estaba fuera de este mundo, así que, ¿a quién le importa el resto? ! ! Sin duda, fue hasta la calidad de una estrella Michelin, ¡así que ve ahora antes de que obtenga una y obtenga un precio altísimo!

Este fue mi compañero y mi séptima visita y comida y servicio de alta calidad como siempre. Justo detrás de Bath Minster y calle abajo de Sally Lunns. En lo que respecta a mi pareja, ahora es la ley que si visitamos Bath, tenemos que visitar el Restaurante Acorn.

If this place wasn't vegan it would probably have a michelin star. It even has reasonable wines that aren't marked up too high. Good enough for carnivores not to miss meat either.

Fui a la bellota hace cuatro años en mi cumpleaños y decidí venir aquí una vez más para mi aniversario. Estaba tan contento de haberlo hecho. Probamos el menú del almuerzo y conseguimos la mayoría de los platos allí para compartir y probar. La comida solo ha mejorado, era muy sabrosa y podía decir que mucho trabajo y corazón se habían invertido en cada plato. El personal fue muy atento y servicial, explicando lo que había en cada plato cuando llegaron y estaban allí para hacer cualquier pregunta. ¡Fue encantador y espero ir antes de cuatro años la próxima vez!

This was our 3rd time visiting the Acorn Restaurant... and will be our last!

I’m a meat-eater but for once I wanted my vegetarian friend to have a larger menu choice, rather than just one or two options. We came here on a Monday night for dinner. Staff were friendly and showed us to our table which had a lovely view of the abbey. The food is to die for. We had broham beetroots, fine herbs and cultured cashew puree for starters, rich mushroom parfait, celeriac cooked in its own juice, hazelnut, potato, chicory for mains and chocolate ganache with coffee parfait cold brew and rapadura gel and pink peppercorn crumb for dessert. They catered very well for my gluten-free diet. The flavours were just incredible. Service was excellent throughout and even though I thought it would be quiet being a Monday night, it was really quite busy so there was a great atmosphere. Highly recommended - make sure you book in advance.

My wife, who eats fish and chicken but leans towards the vegetarian if it is offered is almost my polar opposite when it comes to dining choices, and so she was startled to discover that on a three-week tour through Ireland and England I'd chosen The Acorn as one of the restaurants I'd booked.

An amazing introduction into vegetarian restaurants. The waiters were super friendly and the food palet blew us away! It seems small from the outside, but very cosy and skillfully decorated! Bravo

Acorn was a spur of the moment choice.

We've been going to Acorn for a long time and this visit to Bath provided us enough time to dine twice in one week. The portions are always satisfying and I can highly recommend the Mushroom Parfait. We have always had great service, we always are the first through the door for dinner, it has always been such a relaxed experience and the menu/food is always a treat. We're not foodies or techies but this time my husband decided to take a shot of his dinner to share with others.We will yet again return to Acorn next time we are in the area. While I'll never be able to cook like this I can at least continue to lean more often in this direction for eating/dining choices for which I'm sure I will benefit and definitely enjoy.

We were blown away by the originality of the dishes and attention to detail. The food was beautiful - both in appearance and flavour.

Had dinner in Acorn this evening...utterly amazing..the old donkey carrot was out of this world..my sister had the pea sorbet which was astounding

Beautiful food, lovely staff, delicious wine and a nice atmosphere. We had the 7 course tasting menu and really enjoyed each dish. Thank you!

I can say, hands down - this was the worst dining experience i have ever had.

This was the best food we had in Bath by far - The food was tasty and beautifully presented and we could not fault the staff - loved it!

Absolutely sublime Vegan 5 course dinner. Enjoyed everything and beautifully presented. Lovely waiting staff too. 10\10 Perfect. Thank you Acorn

A really wonderful experience, had the small lunchtime plates, 5 between 2 of us, fantastic tastes, delicious combinations, highly recommended

Came tonight for my partner’s birthday. Have to say the food was sublime and truly recommended for vegans or vegetarians. The service was also excellent. Just disappointing that the owners/managers ignored my email sent a couple of days before about this being a special occasion for my partner’s birthday. So sad when arrogance gets in the way of a great restaurant.

I came here with my husband and toddler for dinner. The food was delicious! The flavour combinations weren't anything I had tried before and it worked really well. The staff were polite and friendly. There wasn't a kids menu but they were very tolerant of my toddler messily feeding herself pasta that I had brought with us. We had 3 courses, all of which were stunning.

This was our second time at Acorn, and for the second time, we were blown away! The food is incredible! It tastes like mushroom or broccoli or whatever it is but then it tastes like no mushroom or broccoli I've ever tasted!! It was amazing! We took ages choosing our dessert, simply because they all sounded perfect. I had the strawberries with olive oil parfait, fennel carpaccio and Scots pine. It was heavenly. I'm sure even meat-eaters would not fail to be impressed.

My boyfriend treated me to the seven course taster menu for my birthday. We had a fantastic time, the food was perfect, and the service was fantastic.

The cauliflower soup is lovely and we loved the pea risotto. It was very filling. The warm sourdough bread is yummy but I was not a big fan of the almond butter with it. The service was good.

I've been to Acorn many times and it never fails to impress me. You'd be hard pressed to find more creative, flavoursome food - current favourites include the mushroom parfait and the pea sorbet, which are to die for. Service is always friendly and efficient and amosphere is relaxed. If you haven't visited yet don't think twice!

Consistently delicious, imaginative dishes. On this visit we tried the broccoli, which is a nose-to-tail affaire using the stalk and the florets, it was excellent. My friend had the. mushroom parfait, smooth and rich with oyster mushrooms, chicory and a velvety sauce. The wine was very reasonable, natural and well recommended by our French waiter. We will be back soon.

As the availability of plant-based foods increase in restaurants, it's great to know that somewhere like Acorn exists, where you can get food that privileges vegetables in delicious and innovative ways, without resorting to either the staple fare of vegan dining or leaving you feel disassociated from the act of eating by being too off the wall. Dishes like the Mushroom parfait with celeriac and chicory have embedded themselves in my food memory and I am looking forward to trying the coffee infused cauliflower on my next visit. I only wish they would bring the Sunday roast back! Having dined here on a regular basis over the last four years its become one of my go to restaurants whenever I want top notch food, irrespective of whether that's vegan or not.

We went as a party of 4 and had the 7 course tasting menu. A tasting menu with 7 courses for £54 initially seems like reasonable value and, in terms of variety and flavours it is. However, the courses are absolutely miniscule even for a tasting menu and you can see how they make so much profit. One of the courses was literally an elaborately presented brocoli stem. A brocoli stem. For £8 per portion. Granted, it was delicious brocoli, but really you should not have to pay meat prices for a brocoli stem. I appreciate its a vegan restaurant and it is remarkable the flavours and taste they manage to get out of vegetables, however it is unbelievably poor value for money. Another portion was a few cut strawberries and some flat sourdough, again for £8 a portion. The best dish was a Japanese mushroom dish which was at least slightly well padded out with beans and a jelly, and utterly delightful. However, I still can't recommend as I came away hungry after spending £250 for 4 people. It was also somewhat cheeky adding a £30 gratuity onto the bill which you would have to ask to be removed. Many won't notice or be too polite to request its removal. The staff were fantastic and incredibly friendly but I'd much rather offer a cash tip of my own accord (which I did) than be pressured into a £30 gratuity on the bill. Was a nice enough experience but not at all worth the money.

For an ordinary vegan experience this place is fine, but it cannot compare even remotely to others mentions by Michelin.

So hungry in Bath and I saw sign for veggie food. Walked in and shown a table by very attentive staff. Skipped starters but they gave us nibbles consisting of chicory and truffle oil. I had mushroom mains, 3rd pic, and she had cauliflower down me four ways, 4th pic, both superb. I followed with strawberries and something, if I’m brutally honest the strawberries were a wee bit past it, but with the accompanying it was still excellent. She had some kinda chocolate, which was equally good. We didn’t have wine so I can’t comment. Overall it was very nice experience.

This restaurant is the best treat you could ever have eating as a vegan. It's incredible! The restaurant is lovely and the staff are well informed and friendly and very much appear to be happy in their jobs. This restaurant is 1st class in every way and I would love to see any top rated Michelin starred restaurant be as creative as this with plant based ingredients. After all... Anyone can throw butter on a piece of meat!

I have to say this was by far the best vegan food we've had possibly ever in a restaurant. All the dishes were imaginative and the wine pairing was spot on. Perhaps we wanted something non-sorbet and heavier for dessert (we got two sorbets) but that is the only slight remark we had on the whole night. Cannot recommend more! The broccoli dish and the cauliflower dish were truly amazing.

Exceptional vegetarian food presented well in a relaxed atmosphere (we were seated in the front which was a bit impersonal). The prices seemed a bit high otherwise a definite "5".
