Eight in Bath and North East Somerset

Lovely small intimate restaurant . Gorgeous decor and and subtle lighting. This is the second time we have eaten at Eight and both times the food was exquisite, beautifully presented and delicious. The staff are quietly efficient and attentive. We visit Bath often and Can’t wait to visit Eight again.

Booked here for just a one-night (too short) stay when meeting up with friends. Beautiful, boutique hotel in a fabulous central location, with lovely rooms and a great breakfast. Great to talk restaurants and rugby with the owner, too. Highly recommended and we will definitely stay again. Thank you

Top notch food and a great concept. Small sharing plates (between a starter and main in size) meant that we could taste more things from the menu. In the end we had 2 fish 2 meat 1 veg and 1 dessert between the two of us. All of them were exquisite. We will be back when we next visit Bath.

Beautiful decor, excellent friendly and attentive staff and the food absolutely stunning. We will definitely go back and strongly recommend

Fast, efficient and pleasant greeting. The waitress, Natalie, has bottomless gastronomy knowledge, is friendly & kind plus culturally aware. She had no problem relocating my partner and I to a difference table and cracked many jokes. The food compliments the environment. Together, we individually ordered the rabbit and sirloin with the hake to share. The hake was well cooked, steak soft enough to easily chew but hard so it does not disintegrate and the rabbit shows the chef is experienced. Each dish was well paired with sauces. Though the dish sizes were small, I did not feel hungry; neither did my partner. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to any couples looking for a 'luxury' night without spending too much. I'd advise wearing formal or casually smart wear to suit the environment, and if possible, to eat downstairs.

What a fabulous find this is. Right in the centre of Bath beautiful decor. Staff friendly. Food amazing!!! 5* experience and such good value for money. Only wished we lived closer as we would be in more often! Hope to return.

If you’re looking for somewhere with style, elegance and a really relaxed vibe head to Eight. The best description I can come up with is “small plate” / “Tapas” style without being Spanish - it was AMAZING. We had 3 plates between us, we both thought we’d need to order more when they arrived, but we were wrong. We left feeling very satisfied! The presentation was superb, service was relaxed and very attentive. The surroundings are beautiful and well thought out. Best place we ate at in Bath!

We had a wonderful stay at Eight last night. We ate in the restaurant and the food was incredible. We choose the sea bass risotto and some vegetarian plates to share. Everything was delicious especially the goats cheese ravioli which was the best pasta dish we have ever tried. The ambiance was perfect and the restaurant had a very welcoming, homely feel. The service was also first class! Thanks for making it such a special night for us we will definitely return !

Several friends had recommended Eight and so glad we came. Let’s start with the food concept. It’s “small plates” but bigger then tapas. 4 of us shared 8 dishes which was about right. Great selection of seafood, meat and vegetarian and we weren’t disappointed with any of our choices. We also had deserts which were very good and a cheese board that my daughter and her boyfriend shared. Wine selection is good and reasonably priced and we also had a drink in the small lounge before dinner. We are downstairs which is the 500 year old refectory from the Abbey and had a good atmosphere. Service is really good and the staff were all friendly and knowledgeable. We loved the concept of sharing but it may not suit all people. For the quality and quantity of food and wine it was good value Would highly recommend eight and we’ll certainly be going back

I was looking for somewhere new to try in Bath and what a find this place was. Food was absolutely first class. Every mouthful was tasty, bursting with flavours and perfectly cooked. Good service, hard working, friendly staff. Will be going back for sure.

If you want fine dining in a charming restaurant and at a reasonable cost then don't miss 'Eight' . We loved it!

We were both blown away by the menu. I am gluten-free and I was taken aback by how most foods served can be gluten-free. We can't wait to visit again soon.

Visited with my girlfriend, Monica was very hospitable and the food was amazing. On my list to return to!!

Only in Bath for one night, couldn’t decide where to eat but Eight drew us in by the smell, look, and menu. We had been shopping and were in casual clothes, it was 6:50pm and we ( mother and daughter) were greeted by Valentina who was incredibly welcoming. Hadn’t been before so Valentina explained normally as the dishes were small plates customers order 2 each, we weren’t that hungry but couldn’t decide between five ! 😆 we had 1 ravioli out of this world between us, then two fish dishes and as it was so delicious we ordered two more steak and Guinea fowl. Just perfection. Food, ambience, service, wine, concept loved it. Thank you so very much for helping us choose sensational plates of the finest cuisine. You all helped make our one night stay in Bath very memorable. 😍

I had an amazing time at this restaurant, the food was incredible, the service and atmosphere was also so lovely! Particularly Valentina was so friendly and helpful, she made our experience! I would definitely recommend the ravioli (in picture), it was outstanding. We will definitely come again!

We loved this intimate restaurant in the heart of Bath. They serve small plates, roughly half way between a starter and a main course size. We had four between us which was plenty - scallops with black pudding, goats cheese ravioli, sirloin steak and as...

Everything about this restaurant is absolutely perfect - location, service, decor, food and price. The service was attentive without being overbearing. The menu was explained in detail. If you expect large portions of the food, this may not be the place for you. Instead, the...

From arrival to leaving the whole experience was fantastic. The staff, the food and the decor. The waitresses were very knowledgeable about the menu and they were very professional. The food is amazing. Its kinda like tapas where you select several dishes and experience food...

My partner and I booked a table. The service was attentive and very helpful. They took our coats, which was good and proper (and unusual nowadays). We were told that they don't do 3 course meals but instead did small plates and we would need...

Fabulous place to stay. Room was very tidy clean and smart. Bath in room was a nice feature. Breakfast was excellent. Fresh food freshly cooked. One of - if not the best I’ve had. Location could not be better, centre of town. Public under ground...

We were recommended to this restaurant by our hotel (The Kennard) It's an unusaul restaurant in the sense that they have no starters or main courses as such but an extensive choice of small dishes and we were recommended to choose 2 or 3 of...

Enjoyed a wonderful meal last night. All three courses were excellent, but the fish starters were both sublime. Found the service attentive and personable.

This is a lovely hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the rooms we had were great, beds comfortable, everything was spotless. Breakfast was delicious. We had dinner here one night which was very good. The location is amazing. Bit noisy outside occasionally on...

I have had my birthday dinner at this restaurant with my fiancé. The food was outstanding and the portions were substantial - not pretentious at all! The service was brilliant! We will defintely recommend it and come back! Thank you for the great experience!

Very friendly service, with exceptional food! Good wine recommendation. Al, in all a good choice for our evening meal.

We were staying in the hotel, and booked dinner for 4 at the restaurant. I really like the concept of 8-10 same-size plates, and there was a good range of meat, fish and vegetarian options. We were recommended around 7 plates between 4 of us,...

Son and daughter in law took both parents for a meal at Eight on Saturday. WOW it was fantastic. Delicious food, lots of wonderful choice, great staff and nothing too much trouble. Had an amazing evening and would highly recommend a visit. Could not fault...

Excellent exquisite food! It’s a small boutique hotel gives you an intimate dining experience. Each dish was a piece of art in presentation and taste. Don’t miss it!

First time in Bath and first time to this restaurant and we were not disappointed. Quant cosy restaurant tastefully decorated inside. Lovely menu with a variety of yummy choices I choose rabbit hunch with new potatoes , broccoli and roasted carrot and a beautiful tasty...

Fantastisk hotel. Hotellet er så hyggeligt. Vi fik en skøn modtagelse. Man kan ikke ønske sig bedre omgivelser. Morgenmaden var...

three of us had a lovely dinner at tis restaurant in August. the food was subtle and well-prepared; the service was both attentive and unobtrusive; and we enjoyed every moment of it. I highly recommend this restuarant.

We had the most delicious meal here for our anniversary. Everything was perfect from the wine, the food and the service. The place has a lovely atmosphere to sit and enjoy your meal. I can highly recommend Eight and next time we are in Bath...

Our first time in Bath and to Eight. We ate two dishes each - warm octopus salad then pork loin and cheek for me. Broad bean risotto and deconstructed mushroom pie for my vegetarian husband. Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The puddings were also wonderful....

Nice concept with all dishes sized between starter and a main course and ideal for sharing and we both enjoyed the food. Restaurant is quite pretty and service very good. Overall a lovely meal and definitely worth a try if you are in Bath centre.

Beautiful food and incredible service! Very reasonably priced for the high standard you receive. I will be telling everyone about this restaurant and will definitely be returning!

I booked Eight for our first dinner in Bath and we were no disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. We even stayed for cheese and ordered more wine!

My daughter and I dined at Eight during a short break in Bath. We happened upon it while sightseeing and booked online for the following evening. The concept of several smaller dishes appealed to us as it allows you to share (or not!) and to...

Gourmet experience Warm, inviting dining area. Excellent service The four plates we sampled were all delicious - crab/avocado, asparagus risotto, hake and the squash and goat cheese ravioli were all excellent. Food presentation was a visual delight. Nice wines at reasonable prices. Desserts were delicious....

Both food and service were excellent. The waiter explained that plates were small and we might like to order two each but actually the food portion was perfect and one each enabled us to have a pudding too. Loin of rabbit was gorgeous and the...

What a great and unique dining experience. Discovered 8 pre lockdown. Finally returned to Bath with friends, 8 was our first choice to have dinner. We were given a really warm welcome and the service was impeccable. No starters just fish, meat and vegetarian, small...

The restaurant at eight is a true gem. While staying in Bath in early July, my family decided to dine here and were so impressed that we returned a second night. The food is of the highest quality (exquisite flavours and meticulous presentation) and went...

The food was special and the service was excellent. A meal to remember! We will be back and will definitely recommend.

Service, kindness and attentive to all customers. Able to seat us not being reserved. The moderate portions are delightful for sharing multiple dishes. Thank you for the exceptional evening.

Lovely warm atmosphere for a couple lunch here recently. Hidden away, although very close the abbey. Beaming staff, swiftly efficient and a delicious lunch. Fish main for me and every dish we had looked painterly and yet still was delightfully hot (too many experiences of...

Unbelievable food in a cosy and quaint environment. The vegan option was delicious and loved the amount of choice on the menu. We had one plate each followed by a dessert and found that to be enough food. Great service and overall we had a...

What a delightful find , we had a vegetarian, fish and meat plate all outstanding. Sweet was average , disappointing after fabulous mains . We would definitely recommend and come again , service was professional, decor and ambiance were interesting and beautiful. Good value for...

A few small rooms, so it feels very intimate. Small selection of small plates, which we love (better to do a few things well...). Each dish was delicious, and the small/medium size meant that we could share 3 or 4 different dishes together.

Can only echo all of the positivity in the reviews below. With only 8 dishes it was still incredibly difficult to choose as they all sounded mouth-wateringly good. We'd eaten lots during the day already so only really wanted 3 dishes but ordered 4 as...

A wonderful experience. Spectacular food with very well priced portions enjoyed. I ordered hake with gnocchi followed by lamb rump. Both choices would be considered as 'main course' style choices, the servings were more substantial than any starter would ever be and would suit a...

Amazing food - flavours were superb. Each course was better than the last. Excellent chef and team. Service was faultless. Great wine. Friendly staff. 100% recommended.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Eight and were delighted with our experience. The service was very welcoming and friendly, and at exactly the right pace. Our server Monika was a delightful young woman. The decor is lovely, the ambience calm and, most importantly, our...

Nothing not to like, exceptional food, service and ambience, makes an easy review. TripAdvisor want more, but what more can you say?

No ifs or buts just go! Food amazing, staff very attentive and friendly. We went for our anniversary and were given a free glass of Prosecco. The whole experience was amazing.

Wandering around Bath we came across this small restaurant by accident. We liked the menu and decided to book a table. From the warm welcome to the equally warm farewell this was an exceptional experience. Service was just impeccable with the dishes we chose being...

A beautiful restaurant set in the heart of Bath, a short walk from the centre and located close to the river Avon. The menu offers small/ medium plates which we were encouraged to share. Both my partner and I were astounded by the quality of...

Really enjoyed a last minute booking, from recommendations on trip advisor. The reception from the two waitresses, Polish And Sicilian was excellent , as was their service. Small portions but was suggested we have three portions between two of us, which was perfect ( about...

We had an initial annoyance after arrival as we were first told to choose our table and then having to change it abruptly as another couple had requested it. We got over it and the waitress was apologetic and friendly and gave us free prosecco....

Absolutely blown away by the food and the service. Good concept of little plates so you can try a few dishes. All excellent.

Our intimate dinner was to celebrate a birthday. Our table was booked for 8 o’clock. We were warmly welcomed by a dark haired petite (possibly Spanish) yet commanding young woman. I am annoyed at myself as I didn’t ask for her name. In the greeting...

Everything was perfect from start to finish. The girls were the perfect balance of attentive and polite and not pushy or invasive. The menu was varied and wonderful, it was hard to choose just a few dishes. We went for 3 mains, 1 desert and...

Situated in the centre of Bath making it the perfect base! The hotel has a very personal feel, with friendly staff that made our stay feel special! The rooms are very clean and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food...

We happened upon Eight after a full day out in Bath, and were very lucky to get a table at 6pm. The atmosphere was good with music playing quietly in the background. Food was wonderful. we had vegetarian dishes for starter which were both very...

Absolutely loved eight - beautifully and tastefully decorated throughout. Location was perfect for two friends away for a shopping and eating out weekend. We had two of the small rooms at the top of the house which were immaculate with crisp white bed linen. We...

Fourth visit and the first after Covid. The food is always good and the staff were as welcoming as ever. A lovely intimate venue right in the centre of Bath.

Eight is quickly becoming my favourite restaurant in Bath, which is saying something as there's a lot of serious competition here. This time I booked dinner for my wife's birthday, for eight people including vegans and one with allergies. Everything was seamless and the food...

Right in the centre of Bath, next to Sally Lunn's and 1 minute walk from the Roman Baths. 5 min walk from SouthGate parking but the cut through at the back of M&S is closed in the evenings. Although Eight is also a small hotel,...

Delicious food, loved the scallops and parsnip purée, very good hake and lovely steak. We enjoyed the cocktails first in the cellar bar. Very good service

My husband surprised me to this AMAZING hotel/restaurant and it is truly the best hotel I have EVER been to. From the bath in the middle of the spacious room to the modern TV that came out of the bed…. It was honestly something out...

Great food, service in a fairly relaxed environment. This was a lovely evening and my wife & I enjoyed the option of sharing our food so we could experience more variety. Would definitely go again.

We simply booked the restaurant - and sometimes I’m anxious about in-house places, but…it was absolutely faultless. We had two fish dishes to start (monkfish, clams and prawn velouté and the scallops with parsnip purée) and were instantly hooked. It’s cosy, the dishes are exquisite...

My boyfriend booked here as a surprise for my birthday. The room was absolutely perfect I could not have asked for more. Staff really welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was also very good! We will be back.

Spent two night here for my birthday and we absolutely loved it....the staff were amazing, food was beautiful and the room was perfect .This was a perfect location to stay in Bath and can't wait to go back

booked this when passing because it was raining and was close to where we were staying (and menu looked good). a real find. Didnt realise it was 'small plates' but that was great. My wife and i shared 2 plates to start (fish course -...

You will not be disappointed My second visit here. The food is to die for the service is friendly and slick. This is some special

Visit this lovely place for dinner, they offer a lovely selection of small dishes, all of them incredibly tasty And well presented. We will definitely be back.

I went here for my birthday with my mother and sister and we had a variety of meat, fish and vegetables dishes. Absolutely divine and I really enjoyed the parsnip purée, scallops and hake. The restaurant is in a get location and very atmospheric

Goodness me! What a lovely meal. We shared two fish and two meat plates (we'd skipped lunch) and then shared cheese (after a short rest)!So good were all the plates that we couldn't agree on a favourite! (Husband loved the monk fish.. and the pork cheek, I thought that the Hake was cooked so beautifully and delicious) Service was perfect. Wine was excellent and very fairly priced. Despite a quiet evening in the city there was a buzzy but relaxed ambiance. To sum up .. a small but perfectly formed restaurant, with very well cooked, interesting dishes. As a Bath resident I will find it hard to justify an overnight stay at the hotel, but, I'll definitely be giving that some thought!

Gosh, what a lovely find. Really enjoyed our food and drinks at this splendid restaurant. We will definitely be back, not least to use the toilet through the bookcase! Thank you to the member of staff who took the time to chat to us as well, such lovely service.

Lovely restaurant. Always good food. Strange concept of plates all the same size. So you pick a “starter” and “main” that are the same size. Good service, nice menu choice, lovely decor. Glad it’s reopened post covid.

Lovely small intimate restaurant, menu is small but absolutely amazing food. We ordered 4 dishes for the 2 of us and found that fine. Highly recommend.

A wonderful boutique hotel very central location . Fantastic sized bedroom with a roll top bath and beautiful bathroom. Step outside straight into central bath wonderful stay . Really recommend

We agonised literally for hours over where to eat on the second night of our stay in Bath.We peered through endless windows and perused countless menus hoping to find the perfect place for a special dinner. Having finally booked somewhere we immediately cancelled it when we discovered Eight. The only availability was at 5apm so we cancelled our lunch plans and opted for an early dinner instead.The restaurant is beautiful, the staff polite, attentive and professional and the food was superb. It was exactly what we were hoping to find amid the seemingly never ending choice of places to eat in Bath.They have a fairly unusual way of doing things, in that they serve small/medium plates of food rather than the traditional way of starters and main courses but that worked so well for us. All three of us enjoyed and savoured every mouthful and although our table was booked again at 7.30pm we never felt rushed and the whole evening was just lovely It's not cheap, far from it, its not the sort of place I would choose to eat in every day but for a special occasion it totally hit spot both in terms of food, ambience and service. We will absolutely be booking again in the future Highly recommended

Hello All, Following our recent annual visit to Bath we once again had the privilege to stay at our favourite hotel No8, we were so pleased to see the hotel now has a separate section located in the square just along from the main reception allowing more rooms and more availability. Nathalie was kind enough to show us around and gave us the option of a stay in the new section, which we sincerely appreciated.We have stayed at No8 several times now and would highly recommend the Hotel for its location is ideal, its decor is modern, eclectic and good quality, most of all Nathalie and her team are so friendly, courteous and professional, the food is to die for. We looking forward to seeing Nathalie and staying at No8 in the new year,

What a find, a real gem.From the moment you arrive you're made to feel like a regular.Onto the food, all I can say is wow.You are told that portions are sharing plates but don't be fooled its more than enough.If you're in Bath you must go to Eight, you will not regret it

Beautiful cosy restaurant, felt intimate and very romantic. The staff were attentive but not overbearing and explained the concept well. The food was beautifully presented and delicious! Highly recommend.

Having visited 8 on a previous occasion when we thoroughly enjoyed the experience we were looking forward very much to our second visit.We had read rave reviews on trip advisor and couldn't wait to sample the new menu.Unfortunately, and contrary to most other reviews, this was not the case.The starter of scallops looked, and tasted, nothing like its description when parsley purée became stodgy mash!!I left a lot of my starter and both my wife,and myself left a good part of our main course. I have never known my wife leave a 'good' piece of beef saying it was inedible!!!Both our desserts were acceptable but it would be difficult to ruin panna cotta and ice cream!The presentation lacked any finesse and the small plates did not do anything to enhance the dining experience .... although I understand the philosophy.Last,but not least, the toilet was situated directly on to our dining area and whenever it was used I had a full view of the toilet bowl. This was inappropriate and totally unacceptable.Suffice to say we will not be returning ~ which is a real shame as we have fond memories of this restaurant.

This is a small tastefully decorated restaurant tucked away in the centre of Bath. From the moment of entering, the ambience was relaxed and comfortable. The service was understated but excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and an explanation offered as to how it all worked. The food itself was delicious and the recommended 3 - 4 dishes for two people perfect! The chef is to be commended for the quality and choice of dishes. We felt this high end restaurant offered excellent value and would highly recommend it.

What a find! We were looking for a high quality restaurant for a Pre show meal mid week. We were extremely lucky to chance on Eight. It is a tapas style - as in individual portions rather than Spanish related food - and it is of extremely high quality. It is difficult to describe but we were very impressed by the range of food, the presentation and the quiet but efficient and knowledgeable service. Take a look at the pictures, from scallops, prawns and muscles, to pork and steak. It is a place you would take your best friend or in my case my amazing wife (she actually found the place and made the reservation but you know what I mean). It was a pleasure. The wine was excellent as was the Prosecco Pre meal.If I could give it 6 stars I would. Thank you for a great evening!

Fantastic food and service in this hidden gem in the centre of bath.A well designed menu offering 4 fish, meat and vegetarian options - each meal larger than a started yet smaller than a Mainz we were recomyto order 2 each. The 4 of us ordered a variety of dishes and each one was beautifully presented and delicious!

Incredible food and service. A special night out! The staff were attentive and really made an effort. The food was creative and the chef clearly has pride in what he delivers.

Eight offers an interesting experience as you get to chose 2 to 3 generous plates. The food is outstanding, some of the best I've had in the UK. The ravioli is a must! Service is slick and good wine. A great night out.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The place itself was beautifully decorated and the food was really tasty! Small plates but enough to fill us up and you could tell a lot of thought and attention had been put into each dish. We had the pork loin, rabbit loin, squash and hake dishes which were all delicious! Would definitely recommend!

The experience of eight was 5star from start to finish, from the warmest of welcomes and the helpfulness along the way.Nothing was to much trouble and even got a fan put in our room as we were very warm!The food was amazing and extremely tasty the waitress was very attentive and nothing was to much trouble.The rooms were tidy and spotlessly clean and there was nothing we could fault during our stayThe icing on the cake was that it was in the centre of bath so all in all worth the money.

Dropped by on off chance when passing and were squeezed in at 5.15. The small plates were great and more than sufficient. We had bread and olives, Octopus sald, followed by and the Risotto and beef - all excellent. We finished with a generous cheeseboard of local cheeses to share. Food and wine excellent, along with the service, in a very pleasant setting on a lane very close to the centre. Definitely will book again when in Bath.

Excellent from start to completion. Staff delightful with recommendations on the size of meals and advice. Meals were as recommended small to medium but were of exceptional quality and enough for both us. We shared each course and all were lovely. A wonderful meal to celebrate our 33rd anniversary. Thank you.

Although the food was tasty, it wasn't anything special for the price. The portions were starter size but priced as mains so two were needed for a full meal. I had the lamb and there was about 2 ounces of meat, a tablesppon of peas and a small potato for over £13. The decor was charming.

We had an exquisite meal at this lovely, intimate restaurant. The food, staff and setting were all fabulous and we thought it was very reasonably priced for the quality of the food.

I recently visited Bath and booked a meal here for mid afternoon ( weird time,but it suited me) I was in fact the sole diner and not surprisingly got fabulous,friendly service. They also stocked dry ice cold cider- a plus for me.I ordered three small plates all of which were top notch- heritage tomatoes with a superb burrata, warm octopus salad and Japanese style beef skewers - these were exceptionally tasty with the texture judged exactly.They were small plates and the place is more expensive than the average, but very much worth it ( from someone who eats out A LOT)

Lovely place and wonderful service! The warm octopus salad is a game changer - definitely try this if it’s on the menu

Love this place. When it closed over covid we were upset as we went in 2019 and it was the best restaurant we had found in Bath to that point. Having reopened after covid it’s great to see it’s still exceptional - we are lucky to have been to many fine dining 2/3* Michelin restaurants and Eight competes well. I read a few of the negative reviews on price and am really surprised - tonight we had a meal for 4 with wine, water and 3 good courses for £200 including service which for the quality is exceptional value so if you want 2-2.5 hours of great service, atmosphere and best of all excellent food get booking!
