Jars Meze in Bath and North East Somerset

What a great find! Such a lovely ambiance, fabulous food, and excellent staff. Special thanks to Tom and Gabriella for taking such good care of us, and so warmly welcoming us like family. There’s a fabulous selection of delicious, traditional, authentic Greek dishes - whether you are looking for just a hot or cold snack, or something more substantial. Plus, seriously tasty desserts! Everything is homemade and fresh - truly outstanding. Jars Meze restaurant also offers an appealing selection of beverages including local wine specialties. They have outdoor seating available - ideal for al-fresco dining as the weather warms up; and - for those who prefer to be indoors - their upstairs dining room is beautifully decorated and evocative of a memorable Greek holiday. Highly recommended!

I visited this restaurant in Sep 2024 for lunch and yesterday for coffee as we were celebration one Greek friend completed the half marathon. The food in Sep was good, grilled chicken with no pita bread as I am gluten intolerant, neither feta cheese as I have a dairy free diet. They don't have an alternative milk, so if you don't drink cow milk, better to go to another place for coffee.

Staff were lovely, food good and plentiful. Disappointed to be told 1 day before reservation that we had a 11/2hr time slot. I hate that and had already cancelled another restaurant because they told us about the time slot with a weeks notice. I told the manager who was sympathetic, but said it was normal for Bath! Whilst they did not overtly tell us to go after our time, they did make an excuse as to why we could not have a coffee. Just be aware that this is the case. John Scott

Booked this restaurant for my family to celebrate a birthday. Had been before 4 years ago and had a good experience. Was very disappointed in the quality of food. The waitress who served us initially seemed very inexperienced about the menu. It was a shame as I had much higher expectations. The filo pastry was very dry and the meat platters were very salty. It was expensive for what we had.

The food was exquisite. The service was fabulous. It’s a real hidden gem

We came in at 6 and didn’t receive our food even at 7.30pm. from what i saw the chef was confused with the orders. the food was okay. but definitely need to work on the service and cooking time.. didn’t make sense to sit there for almost 2 hrs to receive your food

Lovely little place, good food, some hilarious Greek fun in the kitchen which was constantly entertaining. Highly enjoyable meal. Not cheap, but good.

Lovely atmosphere and nice staff! I was positively surprised about the food (only because I'm not familiar enough with Greek food) and would definitely go back!

Our go-to for special occasions. Went for our first date years ago and still go now. Excellent veggie options. Would love one or two more vegan ones though.

Lovely restaurant in the centre of Bath down a hidden alley. Lovely food-even the fussy kids enjoyed it! Service couldn’t be better-attentive and friendly and good advice given about the menu. Very authentic

Tuvimos una gran noche aquí, y tenían un espacio abajo para acomodar a nuestro perro también. la comida era genial, tenía el mejor moussaka de todos los tiempos, y los desiertos / pasteles son deliciosamente ricos . .

Busy valentines night and the service was excellent and the food was delicious.

A la llegada, muy acogedor y conducen a nuestra mesa. Gran ambiente de taberna, personal atento, gran servicio. Meze para dos era un banquete para cuatro, al menos. Gran sabor, excelente selección y preparado por expertos.

Fantastic food and great service. We brought our dog along and they were very accommodating. Can highly recommend this place for authentic Greek food and reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back.

Impresionante comida y servicio! Pasamos en tarros por accidente en una caza de comida. El servicio era insuperable y la comida llegó rápido y era absolutamente delicioso (tuvimos el banquete de carne). Absolutamente maravilloso!

Found a little gem in Bath! The whole evening was delightful. We were a family of 5 and there was nothing left on our plates! Every item we had was delicious, fresh, moreish. The staff are so lovely and attentive and we’re all smiling. We will 100% be returning:)

Delicious food, great service and a superb Greek atmosphere

I love this dish and a glass of greek wine 😘😘 i recommend these!!!! Should try

You must visit here. The food was really fantastic. We had a chicken Gyros with Pita bread which was nice. The Greek wine was great as well. I highly recommend this restaurant 😊

The food was great, the waiter was really friendly and the ambiance was homey.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Waitor was very knowledgable about wine pairing with food, felt like a true Greek experience. Yamas

Really warm, lovely restaurant. Delicious food and great service

Homely vibe, lovely vibe nice food. We had tapas sharing and we found you needed around 3 per person but the dishes per person sounded great too. A lovely night all round

Amazing, food, service and ambience! Highly recommend.

Beautiful food, great value, lovely ambience and fantastic service. 100% recommend.

Good food and gluten free options catered for

The meal at this charming rustic restaurant was a true delight from start to finish. Every dish showcased fresh, vibrant flavours, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the meze platter, a generous selection of delicious small plates. It's a place we'd highly recommend and can't wait to return to soon.

Excellent friendly service, great authentic tapas dishes!

Didn’t live up to expectations. Have wanted to try this for a while and with ‘meze’ in the name we thought we’d try just that. Unfortunately what we received was average at best. The garlic mushrooms were from a tin, which at restaurant level, is inexcusable. Everyone can tell the difference, don’t kid yourself. Baked aubergine was bland and the pork dish we ordered was like a school dinner roast. A sort of pork roulade with a carrot in the middle and a thick translucent gravy, really odd and very English for what was supposedly Greek food. When the best thing about your Greek meal is the pitta bread and tzatziki…..it does beg the question. Maybe the Meze offerings were just intended as starters, and the main meals are exceptional enough to warrant its high rating? We’ll never know.

Fantastic restaurant, food is Incredible, staff attentive and cocktails fabulous. We will visit again

Absolutely amazing greek food. Authentic

Lovely evening with great service and fab food.

Great atmosphere, delicious authentic Greek food, staff can't do enough, all you want is the Sun and beach and 30 degree heat. Would definitely recommend to anybody

Back again ! Lovely authentic Greek… thoroughly recommend 😀

Lovely graduation lunch thank you! Great food as always 👍

Our favourite places to celebrate with a meal in Bath

Fabulous thank you Delicious food as always x

Wonderful Greek good and excellent service

This is my 3rd time at Jars Meze over the years and it was delicious as always! Will be back again soon!

The service is excellent, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere of the place is very pleasant. The prices are fair, and the customer service stands out.

Delicious and authentic cuisine, exceptional service.

Prdered the rolled pork dish and a side of pita. The absolute best thing I’ve had in a very long time. The service and the wine was great as well. And yhe ambiencce and atmosphere was exceptional.

Lovely atmosphere quiet so you can hear conversation..unless with a grumpy teenager who isn't wanting to talk much. Varied selection of food to suit all tastes. Quite generous portions. Will visit again.

Amazing! Food was incredible! Service impeccable! Go here.

Thank you for a good atmosphere and good food

What a find! Jan my wife and I wondered off the cold winter streets of Bath to a warm welcome and incredible food. A memorable evening - thank you x

Had the best time, accidentally broke a glass and they were still so friendly and polite, even if I felt like an absolute lemon

Amazing!! Truly authentic Greek food, wonderful service and overall a lovely experience. We will definitely be back!

This place is a Greek restaurant with high ratings that I found when most restaurants in the bathroom were closed on the night of January 1, 2025. It was my first time to eat Greek food. It is highly recommended. The service is very good and the recommended dishes are also delicious. . Finally, each person was given a dessert. What a deal! They are a family restaurant, very friendly staff here.

Poor service salty food, poor quality, I don't recommend.

We were very disappointed. I love Greek cuisine. However, the food was incomplete and poorly presented. The prices were very high.

Lovely food, even lovelier staff! My husband is greek and he said the food is just like back home. Will definitely be returning!

Food was delicious and Gabriella was a wonderful host!

A tourist trap to avoid. Categorically the worst customer service I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing in Bath. The waiting staff are in dire need of training to ditch their "couldn't care less attitude".

Maybe avoid the Chicken Gyros. Otherwise good. Chicken Gyros is basically a big pile of air-fried chips with some indistinct flakes of chicken fragments thrown over and sitting under a pile of semi soft onions with a tonne of paprika on top. It wasn't good. It was dry and lacking in any form of distinct flavour. I was left with the opinion that the 'mountain' presentation effect disguises the imbalance between chips and the rest. My partner was lucky enough to order the Greek pork Tigania dish, which was astonishingly good. Served in a skillet, with perfectly caramelized onions and the best olive oil and herb infused flatbread that I have eaten (apologies to my partner!). It is a tour de force. The staff are very good and do wonders in their Tardis-like kitchen. Best of all, they verbally point out that a service charge has been added to the bill and 'would we like it removed?' THAT is a real breath of fresh air.

We had a Sunday lunch after Xmas markets walk. Delicious and genuine greek food, together with nice greek music and atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, friendly staff and such a peaceful atmosphere!!

Brilliant service and delicious food.

Fantastic food , very tasty and lovely service

Stifado was lovely, roasted vegetables equally so. Would highly recommend.

Lovely place, good vibes, would be nice to have a couple more veggie options and cider to drink! But really lovely place fast friendly service

Great atmosphere and food - big portions. A little gem in Bath

Absolutely lovely venue and food - waiting staff were very good and our party had an amazing evening

Went here with my family and was absolutely amazing! Recommend to anyone coming to bath to eat!!

The food was really good and also the portions. The staff, incredible. A very kind young lady welcomed us, a warm welcome! At the end, they even offered us this dessert, very good!

Great food and service! First time trying greek food and fully recommend 👌🏼 a must-try

A lovely unique place tucked away from the main high street delivering a taste of greece. My friend and I really enjoyed this little gem.

Lovely atmosphere, great food and top notch service, share meal meat feast says serves 2 but I would say it comfortably serves 3-4

Nice restaurant good food and decor

Fab little gem in bath, great service and amazing meze food. Will definitely be back! So glad we found this place, yum yum 😋

Delicious, nourishing, authentic food, friendly staff and a wonderful, cozy atmosphere - worth a visit! I can't recommend it enough.

Love this place, amazing food and great vibes!

Excellent food and service - would recommend

Lovely mezze sharing plates and good atmosphere.

Delicious food and worth of money, very ambient atmosphere and the staff working are very polite and friendly. Always a pleasure to come at this restaurant.

Delicious food, quick, friendly service. Recommend!

This is our third time to Jars Meze and it was just as good as our previous visits. Only small downside was that we were sat by the external door and the staff were coming and going - it was quite chilly. But otherwise, lovely…

Great food, great service, just a great place to have a meal with your family

The meat dish for 2 was great with more than enough food for 2 people. Staff were nice!

Excellent food and service. Will be back!

Me and my fiancés second time eating here and for the second time was amazing . Repeat customers best Greek food fresh ingredients great vibes Staff always friendly with great service See you next time ! 👊

Authentic Greek cuisine and fabulous service.

Lovely little restaurant. It's quant amd homely. Exactly what you want to help relax and soak up the atmosphere.

Came in on a rainy December evening, greeted with a warm & welcoming atmosphere, food was delicious and service was quick and friendly

We arrived at the restaurant without a booking and were very happy that room was found for us. The staff are really friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. Would definitely recommend.

Food was delicious, wine delicious, service spot on and atmosphere authentic

Lovely quaint little place found in the back streets of bath

The place is very warm and cosy, stand friendly and food delicious! Will definitely be back

We stumbled upon this lovely authentic Greek restaurant and it was wonderful. Fresh food and ingredients, great service. All the food and the wine was very good. And dog friendly too :). Thank you for feeding us. We'll be back :)

Very nice food came here on my birthday nice staff and good atmosphere

Unfortunately it is not authentic Greek food at all. £26 for a ‘gyros ‘ which is basically coop salad, air fried chips and bits of chicken with onion. Complete rip off. Service and atmosphere good so that is a positive. Go elsewhere in Bath. The English people on these reviews leaving 5 stars do not know what good Greek food is- please ignore the 5 star reviews.

Delicious Greek food, lovely atmosphere. Got some lovely complimentary dessert which was fabulous

Brilliant place! Beautiful Greek food! Enjoyed it :)

Seated upstairs in a very cold room, under the air-con until which sadly was not on. Food was not hot and the plates were stone cold. 2 Rum cocktails were lovely as was the garlic pitta bread, however the whole ambience and disappointing meat feast mezze has put us off returning to a Greek restaurant in the future. The owner went on to say, he also owns OPA Greek restaurant in the city and we can go there and get 20% discount!

Ery good service and fantastic food.

Welcoming friendly staff, timely and straightforward service, and very lovely food indeed! Just the lunch we needed to get out of the cold after a bit of shopping. Would love to come back for an evening meal.

Lovely food and service. We got here on a quiet afternoon in Bath visiting the Christmas market. Such a lovely little spot, will definitely return. The mousaka was delicious!

Great authentic food! Worth every penny!!

Amazing food! Had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday.

Popped in for lunch and some Ouzo. Got served by a lovely lady and our experience was fantastic. Great service with a warm and welcoming environment, on top of great food with fresh ingredients. A place definitely worth visiting!!
