Bouvardia Restaurant in Bath and North East Somerset

It was a fantastic experience! The ambiance was cozy and inviting. I ordered the traditional English breakfast, which was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The eggs were fluffy, and the toast was fresh and warm. The coffee was rich and smooth, a great way to start the day. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure everything was perfect. If you’re in Bath, I highly recommend starting your day here – a delicious breakfast

The service was exceptional 👌🏼 Our server was attentive, yet not intrusive at all. The whole team worked together to provide a flawless eating experience. The food was absolutely delicious! Especially the salmon tartare, my favourite! Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏🏼 Everything we had was absolutely delicious and made very very well! Overall a very pleasant experience and would highly recommend! See you again soon! 😍

The environment is stunning. Food is delicious and set elegant. Ordered Chocolate fondant as the dessert, which is lovely. Would love to come again.

Good food and good service! Kate is very approachable and friendly. The dish we like the most is the venison-Very good taste with hazelnut and the truffle mash. Thanks for the good food! 😊👍🏻

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was superb. Every course was brilliantly executed and the flavours amazing. The poached pear was the best dessert my husband had ever had. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Highly recommend you check out Bouvardia if you’re eating out in Bath.

La comida era genial, se veía bien, sabía bien y estaba a la altura de las expectativas, sin embargo, queríamos el menú de cinco platos, pero solo nos dieron tres platos.

A fine dining restaurant with amazing setting. Pristine whites and perfectly laid table is what I loved. I would recommend for you to have the hearty ❤️ Full English Breakfast with one of the best bacon and sausages I have had. The service was amazing 👏. Though the restaurant for dinner only has limited menu as it's a one of its kind. Must visit once for the experience.

Interior agradable y elegante con personal extremadamente atento y amable. Menú bien construido con buenas opciones de carne / pescado. Todo era de una muy buena calidad con vino decente / cerveza / selección de cócteles para antes / después / durante la comida. Primera vez aquí y sin duda volveremos. No muy lejos también de Kelston, donde es posible tomar una agradable bebida previa a la comida en el pub del pueblo. Una noche muy bonita.

Super charming and excellent food! We had a wonderful evening dining at Bouvardia Restaurant, the food was outstanding and beautifully presented. Especially Spiced Pineapple Dessert with a delicate coconut sorbet and a delicious caramel sauce, WOW!!! The staff were professional, friendly and attentive. Thank you again for such an amazing meal and hope to be back soon!

Absolutely unique place with unique food. I can't decide if it's a bad thing or a good thing that it's a bit hidden, because on the one hand it makes it a bit more unique but on the other hand it's a shame to hide something so fantastic.

Excelente restaurante de alta cocina. Gran servicio con una sonrisa. Llamé para preguntar sobre vegetariano y el chef me ofreció un wellington de hongos para principal que estaba delicioso. Disfrutamos de cada plato del menú de 5 platos.

Our dinner at Bouvardia Restaurant was spectacular. From the moment we walked in, the luxurious and romantic atmosphere enveloped us, creating the perfect setting for an intimate evening. The quiet ambiance allowed us to fully relax and enjoy each other's company, while the beautifully designed dining room, with its elegant décor, added an extra touch of sophistication to the experience. The food was the true star of the evening. Each dish was a masterpiece, both in appearance and taste. The high-quality ingredients were evident in every bite, with flavours that were fresh, refined, and perfectly balanced. The presentation of each course was as artistic as it was appetizing, showcasing the chef’s attention to detail and creativity. Every plate was a feast for the eyes before it became a delight for the palate. The service was impeccable from start to finish. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring that everything was timed to perfection. Their professionalism and warmth made us feel truly cared for throughout the meal. For anyone looking for a fine dining experience in Bath, Bouvardia is an absolute must. It’s the perfect place for a special evening, where culinary excellence meets a luxurious, romantic atmosphere.

My granddaughter and I stayed Tuesday night. We were served by Kate who went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after in every way. The food was exceptional, I am surprised they do not have a Michelin star. I would strongly recommend eating here.

The food was delicious, staff so friendly, the place in general is gorgeous. Don't have enough words to describe it, you must visit!

The restaurant is beautiful and the breakfast was really good and well presented. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I really enjoyed everything. I totally recommend.

Had a lovely breakfast as part of an overnight stay. The dining area was light and relaxed with a nice selection of hot and cold food. Lovely service from the staff.

What a wonderful place! Charming and elegant, the food was fantastic, exquisitely served, staff very friendly. Highly recommend.

My favorite restaurant in Bath! I’ve been there several times, trying new dishes each time, and it’s always absolutely delicious. I’ve tried the meat, fish, vegetarian options, desserts, and even breakfast—never a miss! Everything is freshly cooked, including their special bread (I wish they had a bakery on-site for customers too!). The staff is always super attentive and friendly. The interior is both elegant and cozy at the same time. Defininetely coming back again.

Absolutely delicious food - we had a 5 course dinner and a wine flight, definitely a meal to remember! Perfect for a special occasion as the restaurant atmosphere is very intimate (with only about 10 tables). We felt very looked after by the staff and would definitely come back next time we're in Bath. Highly recommend this place!

Have visited a few times and have always had a wonderful fine dining experience. A beautiful restaurant. The food and the service are always fantastic. It's a great location too, probably one of the best restaurants in Bath!

Delicious food and fantastic service. We were served by Kate and she was brilliant. My partner and I drove 2 hours to get here and it was worth every second. Will definitely be returning again soon!

Had an amazing dinner to celebrate my birthday. The food and service were fantastic - huge shout out to Kate who looked after us so well. Would thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful food and amazing service

Lovely restaurant that has a lot of light. Food is presented beautifully and is also very tasty.

A hidden gem in Bath. The food was exceptional and good value for money. The service, too, was excellent though the young waiter could learn to smile a little (probably just nervous/introverted).

Un pequeño restaurante fantástico en Bath. Excelente comida, buena elección de vino y un servicio amable. Acomodaron algunos cambios y una solicitud no en el menú sin ningún tipo de alboroto. Recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volvería. Mi única queja, poner algunas plantas grandes en el jardín para bloquear la vista del aparcamiento.

The service was excellent. All the staff have been very accomodative in serving us things not on menu. We still have our jetlag and didnt finish some of the food. They were so kind to offer to change something else for us when they didnt need to. Absolutely the best service we had in England

To be honest, the gap between food performance and high ratings is huge. Desserts are especially average.

Starters and main really nice, dessert unfortunately quite average. Service was okay. No atmosphere however we were the only people in the restaurant. The downer was receiving the bill and having £20+ tax added on as well as the service charge. Would have been more reasonable if it wasn't for these.

Enjoyed dinner and breakfast here a couple of nights. Would recommend, quiet spot w friendly staff and excellent flavored dishes.

The most delicious menu. We savoured every bite. The pork tenderloin was exceptional. Lovely setting and great waiter. Would highly recommend and looks a fine hotel too.

We were very disappointed in our dinner and differ from other reviewers’ comments. Both of our entrées (steak and trout) were rather bland and lacking in basic seasoning. Even the accompanying sides all sort of melded together and were one note and not remarkable at all. The steak in particular was asked for medium rare and came back well done. Since we were staying at the hotel, we had our breakfasts there and these were in fact wonderful compared to our dinner. Service was very nice though.

What a lovely venue it is. A bit far from the town centre, however is not hard to get there. Is actually worth it price and to sit in such beautiful bright surroundings. What impressed us was that, Chef Greg came over to serve us the desserts. Kasia is also a fantastic, knowledgeable and smiling person. Thank you very much! I will never find similar buildings in America,

Amazing food. Best value for money in town. Excellent service.

Found this little gem on the internet and menu looked delicious. It is just outside of Bath city centre and has plenty of parking. It is housed within Bathen House hotel. On arrival a very polite and helpful lady showed us to our table and presented the menus. Drinks and food were served promptly and with the same professionalism that I have observed in Michelin starred establishments. The food was more delicious than it sounded on the menu. My wife commented that it was the best food she has had for quite some time. When the bill was presented, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable it was. Will definitely be back again soon. Thanks

Today, my husband and I enjoyed a delightful Sunday lunch at this establishment. The service was exceptional, and the dining room, with its spacious and beautiful decor, provided a pleasant atmosphere.

An absolute delicious and decently priced 6 course menu Had the pork belly to started followed by the lamb which was divine. Service was exceptional. Would recommend

Delicious food! A very decently priced 6 course menu which was divine. Service was exceptional too

What an amazing find, this restaurant is absolutely amazing. From start to finish we can not fault it one bit, the food and service were top notch and we can't wait to dine here again.

Exceptional and delicious food for our meal here recently. Lovely staff and beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend for special occasions.

Excellent table, everything was perfect, we highly recommend this establishment, well done to the whole team.

Absolutely wonderful food & great customer service, love the special birthday touches thank you

Really lovely meal with excellent staff. Chef brilliant. How refreshing to have proper table linen! Can’t wait to go again.

Dined at this lovely restaurant whilst staying at the hotel, a birthday meal for myself and my partner. We had the 6 course tasting menu which was lovely and really special for such a nice occasion. The staff are all so lovely and attentive. We also had breakfast that morning which was really nice. Thanks for making us so welcome!

There is nothing bad to say about our experience, the food, service and ambience were all excellent. We enjoyed a perfect meal. I can't wait to visit again.

Had an amazing meal at the Bouvardia. My wife and I had the 6 course menu. The food and the service was excellent. The lady and gentleman who were serving us were extremely attentive to all the tables in that night. Highly recommend!

A fine dining experience in Bath for a family dinner to celebrate my wife's 70th Birthday. We were warmly welcomed by Jeremy our host, which set the tone for the evening. We had selected a set 3-course dinner for just under £50 per head. What struck us on entering the restaurant was the intimacy and ambience. There are only about 6 tables available, which almost makes it feel like private dining. And the attentative service adds to that impression. As for the food itself it was akin to fine French cuisine in a British setting, it could not be faulted. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to celebrate an occasion over dinner at reasonable cost.

Angenehmes Ambiente. Zuvorkommend das Personal. Zum Beispiel die Vorspeise war etwas zu einfach. Geräucherter Lachs. Die Fischgerichte und das Dessert haben uns sehr gefallen. Drei Sterne bezüglich der Vorspeise.

This a fine dining venue in every sense. Food, wine, service, atmosphere were all delightful. The 6 course menu was delicious and all the food was beautifully presented. Nothing was too much trouble for our hostess and we enjoyed every moment. The finishing touch was a nice brandy. Thanks for a great night out

We had a lovely fine dining experience here. We were staying at the hotel which made having dinner here very convenient but I’m glad we tried it because food and service were delicious. Limited menu but we both were happy with the choices. Quality of the food was superb and staff were very warm and attentive. It’s a small restaurant inside a boutique hotel but it was a lovely ambience perfect for a couple or romantic meal.

My husband and I went. Little drive of 10 mins out of Bath. Well worth it. Amazing team and beautiful 6 course meal. Special place and would recommend as very different from usual dining.

This place is a hidden gem! 8/10 tables in a small hotel in Bath. The service WAS immaculate, BUT the food is another level! Seriously cannot fault it, young chef at the helm he has got a glittering career ahead of him. Super talented, flavors where perfect the combination of ingredients and the presention stunning, perfect amounts served with each dish, 6 servings or a taster meal. Perfectly executed. BRILLIANT. Hotels is very lucky to have such a talented chef running that kitchen and serving dishes in the restaurant "Bouvardia" Well done, truly exceptional what a wonderful surprise, and it was my birthday. Really enjoyed our evening. I will be singing your praises and recommending this place to anyone travelling to Bath or the surrounding areas well worth the trip! THANK YOU

6 course of great food!! Really lovely staff. Intimate setting, cosy atmosphere! Crumb down, very rarely get in restaurants anymore and it just added that extra care and attention to the service. Really enjoyable evening

Exceptional food. Couldn't find one fault to the food. The staff were attentive and if we asked for anything it was sorted. It was quiet but a romantic vibe. We went here for a birthday meal and would highly recommend.

An absolutely brilliant experience here. The food was delicious and the service was excellent; our waitress was helpful and very attentive all night. I am vegetarian so although there was only one option for each course that I could have, they were so delicious nonetheless. I highly recommend the chocolate fondant dessert and my boyfriend really enjoyed the venison main course. Even the warm homemade bread and butter was top notch. Our table was booked at 7pm on a Saturday evening and it was just us for the first 15 minutes or so, whereas at about 8pm onwards a few more tables arrived, so I would suggest booking later if you prefer slightly more ambiance. This is not a busy, atmospheric restaurant by any means, so if you are looking for that, this will no fulfil it. Having said that, we enjoyed our evening so much we stayed at the restaurant for over three and a half hours just drinking and chatting. I highly recommend the food and service here.

Was here a while back and was reminiscing at what a phenomenal restaurant this place is. Would highly recommend as food and service were exceptional.

Lovely meal and restful atmosphere

My husband and I had a delicious Sunday lunch here today. The service was excellent and the dining room is spacious and beautifully decorated. There was a good selection of starters and mains. Our food was beautifully presented and delicious - unfortunately we were too full for a dessert. Hoping to return before too long. Thank you!

Absolutely loved this place. It's perfect for couples and small family gatherings as the restaurant is small but cosy. There is an eatery for every occasion and, in my opinion, Bouvardia is for romance. We arrived for a pre dinner drink in the lounge where our order was taken and then led to our table at the time of our booking. Tasty homemade bread with 2 butters, mustard or sesame. With a pre starter of butternut, orange and ginger amuse. For starters we had the smoked pigeon and the salt baked beetroot. Both set the tone for the main courses of treacle cured venison and turbot. To set us up for the dessert and to cleanse the palate, we were served a raspberry and champagne granita. I couldn't resist the sticky toffee pudding with a butterscotch sauce and my wife had the vegan panna cotta. The staff are extremely pleasant and attentive. The service was excellent and unobtrusive. The food was delicious, nicely seasoned and artistically presented. For the right occasion, this restaurant is worth another visit.

Fabulous food, beautifully presented, and impeccably served. Had a great dinner here mid week, I hear they do a great Sunday roast too!

Amazing food, worth a visit… Went for dinner, I cannot fault the food. We had such a lovely time. We had pigeon to start, it was cooked to perfection. Then we had the venison, the flovours were amazing but the little mushrooms were awesome. Had to have the sticky toffee pudding g for dessert. It’s probably one of the best I’ve had. Ever and it’s my favourite dessert.

Excellent food in lovely surroundings,, a limited menu but much better than a large menu which is not individually cooked on the premises . Lovely scallops and ham hock followed by lamb all very well cooked with interesting additions and the plates looked superb . Attentive waiting staff . Thoroughly recommended , good value for the quality of the meal .

We had a fantastic dinner at The Bouvardia Restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We can thoroughly recommend Bouvardia.

We continued to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary at this restaurant as we were staying at the hotel located in the same building. The chef took the time to meet up with my wife beforehand to discuss her allergies and was more than happy to...

We went for dinner to Bouvardia as part of a weekend away in Bath. This place is quite a gem! The atmosphere is very cosy (small room so reservation strongly recommended), the service was fantastic and the food aligned to everything else - sophisticated and tasty. We all had a very enjoyable evening.

Very nice restaurant, excellent food, reasonably priced and friendly service. Would definately eat here again!

Having read the reviews, we were looking forward to our Sunday lunch with some friends from out of town. Sadly, the venue and the food did not live up to expectations. We felt as if we’d visited a nursing home, it was very subdued and not really inviting. Of course, this may suit the diners that reviewed it, but we felt as if we were visiting elderly relatives for lunch. Regarding the lunch, again all rather mediocre. Portions were small, we asked for extra, we got some but it was still very stingy. Gravy for our lunch was ‘thin’ both on consistency and flavour. All in all, whilst nothing to complain about, we wouldn’t recommend it for a family Sunday lunch.

Sadly this restaurant does not get the publicity it deserves but then perhaps I should be grateful or else we would never get a table if people realised how good it really is! I would say they produce some of…if not “the very best food”...

Lovely and intimate restaurant with amazing food and very kind stuff.

Nice and beautiful place, especially for couples. Great service. Beautifully presented and tasty food. I highly recommend. We will definitely come back there.

Amazing food, very creative and lovely atmosphere. Staff were excellent as well

Absolutely stunning food,great attention to detail. The staff were extremely attentive. Can't speak highly enough of this restaurant

Very good food, excellent service, well priced and all in immaculate surroundings. Can't wait to visit and try their Sunday lunch menu..

Excellent restaurant with European cuisine. High-quality food and good service. We were shocked to find such a fabulous place for dinner. Great place to visit when you visit Bath.

Amazing place and delicious dishes

Attended for valentines day dinner, every dish was 10/10, very friendly service from staff and elegant decor with a perfect atmosphere.

This Restaurant, the food, the atmosphere, the staff are top notch, if you want exceptional food and service, this is the place to go, we had a marvellous time, definitely a place we will visit again and again - Thank you, Cheryl and David

We had a fantastic time tonight, the food was superb and the staff were excellent.

A polite advise: do not miss this excellent Restaurant while you are in Bath city. Excellent venue. Fabulous food, extremely polite, kind staff and service. Our dining here was pure delight. We loved it. Judy and Wahab Weli

A small restaurant on the back of the hotel of approx 8 tables. The food and service was excellent, un-rushed and polite service. A 3 coarse meal for £36,50, 2 courses £10 less. Each course has a recommended wine or choose your own from list. A bottle starts at around £30. A little gem that I predict will become very popular and will have to be booked weeks in advance. I highly recommend it.

A bit of a hidden gem. From the signage outside you wouldn't know the restaurant does more than Sunday lunch. In fact it offers a 2/3 course set menu outside Sunday. The menu offered a good choice. I can recommend the chicken liver parfait starter...

.Every course was a lovely combination of beautifully chosen flavours and wonderfully well cooked. Outstanding value - fine dining at mid-range prices. If I lived in Bath I'd be back all the time. A real gem.

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Tasty and beautifully presented starters followed by juicy rare roast beef and well cooked vegetables. Desserts were wonderfully crafted - topped off with attentive service. great tasty, stylish food. Quality over quantity. Perfect!

Fantastic place to spend a romantic dinner. Food is amazing!! Staff is amazing and friendly! We just loved this place so highly recommend it to everyone!

Fantastic small restaurant hidden just outside the city centre. Really classy and serving amazing dishes, cannot recommend highly enough. The restaurant is within a luxury boutique hotel but open to outside customers, street-side parking is free all around the venue

Had a lovely meal at the restaurant. Food was very imaginative. Service excellent. Great value for money

The smallish restaurant located in a conservatory-like room. Very bright, white starched table-ware , sparkling glasses, Food was excellent. We started with a flavoured gin drink which we enjoyed neither of us having had gin in `living memory`-now converts.. I had Scallops, pork loin and...

We visited the place while having a weekend away, I booked because the reviews were amazing, so glad we did. Excellent service, food was amazing for the price, best pork I have ever eaten! would highly recommend and would definitely visit again

On our recent trip to the restaurant we were immediately greeted by warm and friendly staff before being taken to the well-lit and open feeling dining room. It was small enough to feel intimate and quiet without being crowded. The staff were incredibly helpful throughout...

Beautiful food and great atmosphere! Very friendly and attentive staff

Exceptional dining experience. Welcoming staff, stunning venue& delicious, well presented food. I highly recommend this restaurant, simply the nicest one in Bath. I was grateful the restaurant in our hotel was closed because I searched for an alternative and found this gem.
