Oak Restaurant in Bath and North East Somerset

Oh man this was such an incredible dining experience. Of particular note were the home made soft drinks of which I tried all three. I saw some other reviews saying it’s a vegan restaurant, it’s not but nearly everything on the menu can be made vegan if it is not already. The beetroot and the Jerusalem artichokes were Beth absolutely stellar and I could eat the bread on its own all day. Were Bristol based and had a night in bath and I have to say it blows just about every veggie restaurant in Bristol out of the water

Absolutely stunning place. The decor and atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff were lovely and friendly. The food was absolutely beautiful, the artichokes and bread in particular were incredible. You have to be prepared to wait sometimes a while between plates coming out but that was explained at the start and wasn't an issue for us but one to remember if you're in a rush.

Can I give better than 5 stars? What an amazing experience - the food was fantastic, the service was amazing and I would highly recommend the 5-course taster menu.

The service and atmosphere were perfect. The food wasn't as perfect as our last visit a couple of years ago. Oak offers small plates that can arrive at any time, rather than the traditional starter/main format which I prefer. We ordered 6 dishes and 4 arrived at the same time which was too much. The food was good but there were no standout dishes. Potato Terrine was the best. Ravioli was ok but lacked flavour. Pistachio Semifreddo desert was very nice.

Food was awesome, they can covert most plates to vegan 🌱 service was really lovely 🤎, and the decor! Very pleasant lunch & atmosphere ⭐️

I had the Five course feast which was great. We went on a group of four and experiencing the different dishes in a group was the perfect way to try out this restaurant. The ricota ravioli was really good, the broccoli with smoked almonds was my favourite. Really good range of food. I appreciate that this is a vegetarian restaurant, which is hard to find nowadays as most lean directly to vegan. Great accomodation for gluten-free (coeliac) too. The food is great but the staff are excellent. They are incredibly helpful, caring and have great personalities. 10/10 for the staff.

We went here over the weekend and really enjoyed the decor and atmosphere of the place. A great setting for a date (even though we went as a small family!). We just felt that the food didn't really live up to our expectations. The majority of the dishes we tried were quite oily and creamy, with not a great deal of substance to them (so you need to spend quite a lot to have a full stomach). The focaccia was tasty but again, drowning in oil. Moreover, the prices were a bit steep for what you get. The salad, at nearly £6, was just a plate of leaves. It's a shame really as we had really high hopes walking in. We're all veggie and are always seeking out interesting veggie restaurants but we won't return here, sadly.

A vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Bath. The dishes are delicate, delicious and original. The plates are larger than expected. Modern folk songwriter music adds a relaxed, warm vibe. The decor is rural with Tibetan colors.

The food was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent! What a delightful surprise to find such a great vegetarian restaurant 💓! I’d love to come back and try it again!

Amazing food, and felt like good value for the quality and amount of food. Delicious five course tasting menu - really interesting flavours and moreish food. Really exceeded my expectations, I’d highly recommend

Food was of very high standard- tasty and inventive. I would recommend only 2-3 dishes per person it was very filling!

I came across this lovely restaurant by chance and was lucky enough to be seated at the window overlooking the street. The three dishes I tried were really delicious. A very nice surprise to end the day gently.

A great little find in Bath, tucked away in a side street behind the Abbey. It's got a relaxed cafe type feel but serves the most delicious restaurant quality food. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend it!

Took my partner for his birthday and I am so glad that I did as everything about OAK was perfect. An intimate and cosy restaurant, the wait staff took such good care of us from the moment we stepped in the door. Service was really friendly and efficient without being overbearing or rushed. As for the food, well… wow. Just wow. Even if not a vegetarian, you will not miss meat at all. We went with the five course taster menu and our only regret is we didn’t get to taste absolutely everything on the menu, because every dish we had was incredible. The seasonal ingredients were an inspired choice, and the chefs have absolutely nailed the combination of flavours and textures of the dishes! Really hard to pick one stand out dish, but the Jerusalem artichokes were to die for. We also went for the matching wines, which was also a good decision. They gave us a great selection of wines that didn’t include the mainstream, so felt like we were getting something really different and new. All in all we LOVED OAK and would highly recommend it to anyone with tastebuds. We can’t wait to go back next time we’re in Bath!

What to say about this establishment that hasnt been said ? Sadly, we didn't order the bread so our december focused dishes ended up with much unfinished sauces. Book in advanced as even in winter, it filled up not much after 12. Heaven for vegeterians and I wish it was as easy to find such a good meal in London. The kitchen clearly understands vegetables are the focus and there's no need to rely on pepper and spices. The only item of note is I'd rather see the service charge costed into the plates themselves or have a minimum charge to allow this a fine vegetarian establishment to keep running.

I love this place. One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The menu is incredibly creative which is fundamental in vegetarian cuisine. I wished I lived closer!

We visited Oak Restaurant for a celebration dinner, but the experience was disappointing. From the start, the waiter told us, 'You have to leave by 8 pm,'which felt blunt and unwelcoming. Throughout the meal, she repeated it four times, even though we still had plenty of time left. At 7:55, she returned and said, 'You have to leave now'. It was so abrupt and out of place that we couldn’t help but laugh... we’ve never experienced anything like this before. Oak seems to have shifted focus from providing a great dining experience to maximizing table turnover. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend it anymore.

One of the best experiences I’ve had recently, I would give 10 stars out of 5! The atmosphere is intimate and comfortable. The staff is knowledgeable and very attentive. The menu is truly intriguing. We tried a bit of everything, and we couldn’t pick a favorite dish, everything was delicious! A note: I had read a previous review mentioning small portions, so we ordered many dishes… but the portions are not small at all! The wine selection is excellent, and I love natural wines, they have plenty of them. If you’re visiting Bath, you can’t miss this restaurant. Even if you’re not vegetarian, give it a try!

Cosy vibes. Friendly vibes. Delicious vibes. Need I say any more?

We had such a great meal here (the five course feast!) that we came back another night during our stay in Bath! Delicious vegetarian food, delicious flavours and really nice service from staff. Also lovely chilled ambience. Would recommend!

We are not vegetarians but we love this place!!! And we love recommending you to our guests (carnivores and all). The quality of the food is excellent. Who knew pickled carrots can taste so good!! And your bread and hummus .. oo la la!! This week we took our meat-loving South African clients there and they loved it. We ordered everything on the menu and just grazed the night away. The service team was brilliant and our little cove made the entire night feel so cosy. Thank you again, Oak management and team! We love you!!! Cynthia & Ron Beau Nash Antiques, Bath

A disappointment. I expected much more, nothing special. Unsuccessful flavors and small quantity. The attention was correct, without more.

Just a stunning dining experience. I loved the friendly knowledgeable team, the unique delicious food and the warm quiet atmosphere. The vegan tasting menu had pickled carrots, terrine and celeriac soup. Innovative dishes, incredible options for vegans and overall it's absolutely wonderful.

Very romantic spot. Small and intimate and the food was gorgeous! We ordered a few dishes for dinner and they looked and tasted delicious. Staff were very attentive and lovely. Sad we were too full to order dessert! Recommend booking in advance.

We came here for dinner as our friends recommended it. We booked in advance and it was the right choice. The atmosphere is romantic and cozy. Lily was a really good waitress, very polite and attentive. We went for the a la cart menu and got 5 dishes to share between 2. The arancini were my favourite. The focaccia was out of this world. It was more than enough. We unfortunately couldn’t fit the desserts but they looked amazing.

We had an incredible evening at Oak for my partner's birthday. The five course feast and wine pairing was a very reasonable price for such an amazing fine dining experience in a relaxed but beautiful environment. The staff were all friendly, knowledgeable and attentive and the food was divine! Our favourites were the pumpkin soup, the pumpkin in ajo blanco, the ricotta ravioli, the focaccia. We love the focus on sustainable seasonal produce here and cannot wait to come back in a new season to try another delicious tasting menu.

Amazing food, locally sourced. The early (5.30-6.30pm) set menu is great value for the quality of cooking. The staff are warm and unpretentious. The spritz mocktail is superb. Next time I will try the full tasting menu.

TLDR: Really enjoyed the food. Worth every penny, service excellent. I went for the Oak Five Course Feast with Wine Pairing. The server explained the menu before hand and when every dish was served including a very eloquent and informative description of the matching wine. The highlight the was mezze type selection of dishes in the middle which were all fresh and very tasty. The potato terrine main great top with excellent texture and flavour. The restaurant atmosphere and design had a nice balance of quirky and interesting but very professional at the same time. There are many other plant based restaurants I've been to in the last 12 months in the UK which could learn something about hospitality and creative and delicious food from Oak in Bath. Very nice indeed, i look forward to coming again and trying something different

Food was not well balanced but service was good and atmosphere was great. Wine had a lot of sediment.

A gem of a restaurant tucked away in central Bath serving creative and seasonal small plate vegetarian dishes. Faultless service too. Highly recommended.

Great Restaurant in the center of Bath. The cuisine is truly incredible, I recommend the soup of the day which was a real treat for us. It's always inspiring to visit places like this where 40% of vegetables are self-produced!! Good luck to you 🌽

Such a beautiful meal with thoughtful wine pairings and wonderful service and atmosphere. Really enjoyed and would highly recommend. Thank you!!

Map was a bit difficult to read. It wasn't entirely clear what we were going to get involved with. The service staff was very friendly and patient. Then came the food... simply fantastic. Absolutely convincing in terms of taste and visuals and a great experience. The price wasn't exactly cheap, but the food was of the highest standard. A great experience!!! Thanks

I love this vegetarian restaurant where everything is perfect... don't hesitate to share the dishes with several people... the foccacia bread is just sublime

Staff were friendly and professional. Restaurant clean and tidy. Atmosphere cosy with lovely decor. Food amazing!! We had the taster menu and it was all delicious.

Having been a lifetime vegetarian, I’ve always loved Oak and have highly recommended the place to others. My last visit for the 5 course menu and wine flight was very rushed, couldn’t eat the food or drink the wine quick enough for them. It wouldn’t have been so bad if table was booked last minute, but the booking was made in good time. This was the first time we thought it wasn’t worth the money. Won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

Would like to preface this review with a few details: the staff were great and compensated us appropriately. The atmosphere was nice. I am hoping we caught the restaurant on a bad day. Now for the review: how disappointing. We booked to dine at Oak based on previous reviews and were really excited for our first meal out as newlyweds. Based on photos we’d seen from reviews, it looked great, however, those dishes were nowhere to be seen on our visit. We opted for the ‘feast menu’ which is essentially the same as the tapas menu, just in a set menu form. The food was so far beyond average at every level. The food lacked any seasoning, creativity or flavour. The soup was a bowl of watery carrot, the grilled cucumber was exactly as it sounds, and the chard and chickpea dish was inedible - you couldn’t even cut a knife through it, never mind chew it. The accompanying ‘sauces/purées’ were duplicated on multiple dishes, leaving every dish to feel exactly the same. The focaccia was an insult to Italy - I’m actually offended on behalf of the country. The wine, although nice to advocate for natural and organic options, was some of the most average natural wines we have ever sampled. Nothing special. I really wanted to love this place. We understood the ethos, however, this should not be a substitute for quality. And if you’re going to champion local/no waste/vegan products, be bold with your messaging. Altogether, we left feeling deflated, disappointed and actually a bit embarrassed that we had to tell the poor waitress how bad the experience was. Do better or don’t bother.

Food was delicious. Service was lovely

The care and immaculate attention to detail that goes into every dish was magnificent. We've been several times and love it so much ! Each dish is creative and high quality. DELICIOUS

We had an amazing time at Oak. To start with, the decor perfectly encapsulates what they’re trying to do, with a kind of rustic homestead vibe with a hint of modernity. This is matched with the great energy of our server Ella who was informative and clearly cared about the customer experience. This wouldn’t mean much if the food itself wasn’t up to the same standard, but it goes beyond. Absolutely delicious. The mix of vegan dishes somehow felt complex and simple simultaneously. We didn’t have a weak plate, and the focaccia that came with the hummus was probably the best I’ve ever had. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Bath and as a meat eater, I still think this is better than anything else you’re likely to eat in the city. The menu is all veggie but 90% of the dishes can be made vegan at request (which is what we did)

Honestly the best food I’ve had in such a long time. Everything about this place is perfect. Best restaurant in Bath.

Loved it, I have an incredible solo meal!

Un lugar muy acogedor. La comida muy creativa y rica. Muy origianl. Servicio muy atento. Sin lugar a dudas, 100% recomendado!

Went to this restaurant by chance because we wanted a soup and ended up ordering a few plates and dessert. The flavours were incredible. Being from Marseille I was anxious about the panisse but oh boy it did not disappoint! Staff were very friendly, the atmosphere is cosy. Lovely place on all aspects

My son and his girlfriend took me to OAK for my birthday. It was a very, very special evening. We had the 5 course set menu with wine pairing. The food was amazing, the wine was delicious and our waitress talked us through everything expertly. The restaurant's ethos on ethically produced food and wine made it even more special. I would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely place with delishious vegetarian food 🌱

Wonderful food. Very creative. Lovely service.

Lovely food and the servers were very friendly! But think they probably need a bit more knowledge and training on each wine. Also would have been good if they told us what we were eating when they put it down-maybe some more training needed. However, it was a great experience and I would go back as food was delicious and friendly staff! Thanks for a lovely evening.

As vegans, we were very disappointed in the food, given the price. The dishes were quite average and there are far better plant-based places in the city.

This place is just amazing! Visit it if you are in Bath

Beautifully crafted food in a quaint, cosy atmosphere. Took my partner here for his birthday and we were not disappointed at all! The staff were friendly and helpful, food was prompt and delicious, and the atmosphere overall was calm and welcoming

Loved this classic old school vegetarian restaurant. This is the kind of placey mom would've killed for when I was growing up. Homey feel, good service, generous portions, and delicious food!

What draw me to this restaurant was the pictures I saw online which show similar dishes to fine dining establishments. Sadly, this is far from what we experienced. Don’t believe all you see online! OAK is a normal restaurant somewhat pretentious that tries to imitate fine dining but unfortunately falls short by a mile in every aspect. Overall, very misleading experience. In terms of the food, every single dish was super oily and greasy. I think I’ve suffered vegetable oil indigestion for the first time in my life! I know oil is a plant based ingredient but it was a dominant flavour throughout the entire menu: from the starters (olives and almonds) all the way to dessert (chocolate ganache with olive oil). And unfortunately, the flavour profile of the dishes was bland too... Disappointing experience because they advertise something to what you get.

Really great vegetarian / vegan restaurant. Reasonably priced & staff were lovely

So disappointed with our evening at Oak. I booked three weeks ago on a recommendation so we were really looking forward to it. It got off to a bad start when we were ushered through the pleasant looking upstairs dining area, down the back stairs into a rather dingy downstairs room with just four tables and we sat at a small table right beside the kitchen door. We then waited twenty five minutes for them to bring a carafe of white wine which was really disappointing. Meanwhile there was lots of scurrying to and from the kitchen with dishes to be served and dirty plates coming back for washing! While we waited we tried to use the internet as there were a few unusual things from the menu but downstairs in the basement there was no 4G signal and they don't have wifi!!! So anyone with a need to keep in touch with babysitters, relatives or any contact with the outside world beware! Apart from the spicy almonds which were great, we were disappointed with the food when it came. A flatbread with sliced potato on it, a risotto with lots of melted cheese but not much rice, a gnocchi with a too creamy sauce for our liking. The best of our four plates was a panisse which was one of the items we had wanted to look up! If you don't know what it is then look it up before you come! We only have two nights in Bath and with so many nice sounding restaurants it felt like a wasted evening. There are plenty of good reviews so if you plan on going and the food sounds like your thing then just ask them to seat you upstairs when you make a reservation.

OAK in Bath offers a charming dining spot in a bustling part of the city, presenting an opportunity to explore unique vegetarian options that stand out from the typical dining scene. Intrigued by their vegetarian menu and drawing inspiration from memorable experiences at places like Mallow in London, our expectations were set high as we stepped into OAK. We dove into the garden salad, hummus, fennel, and gnocchi dishes with anticipation. The garden salad, unfortunately, fell short of our expectations, comprising mostly green leaves and a simple vinaigrette. We had hoped for a more vibrant mix including tomatoes and feta, leaving us disappointed. The hummus, accompanied by delectable bread, was a highlight with its well-flavored and spiced texture that harmonized perfectly with the bread, providing a delightful experience with each bite. Moving on to the fennel, ajo blanco, and walnuts, I personally found the flavors to be lacking depth, while my wife seemed to appreciate the dish more, indicating a difference in preferences. Lastly, the gnocchi with pine nut chard intrigued us with its texture, offering a blend of crunchy and buttery softness that was enjoyable to savor. However, it also left me yearning for a bit more complexity in terms of flavor profiles. Although OAK presents an interesting array of menu items that promise culinary excitement, it does fall short in terms of depth of flavors compared to other vegetarian establishments. Despite this, OAK remains an inviting place to try something different and explore a creative approach to vegetarian cuisine, making it a worthwhile stop for those seeking unique dining experiences.

Great little restaurant with a cosy, intimate vibe. Ideal setting for romantic dates with a special someone or a quiet evening with close friends. That being said I dined here last night with my cousin, his wife and their two kids and things did get a bit chaotic at times, with the 1.5 year old especially. However, the staff were wonderful, as were the other diners. Turning to the food. I had the chickpea panisse, the potato flatbread and the grilled asparagus. All were delicious. I also had liberal helpings of the risotto which my co-diners ordered. Now, I’m not normally a risotto guy. In fact, I despise it because of PTSD from 20 years ago when it was the only vegetarian option on menus in this country. But let me tell you, this risotto was magnificent. Creamy, decadent, yet light and fresh, and perfectly cooked and oh so flavourful. I highly recommend this if you find it on the menu. The chef is an actual artist. I see some reviews quibbling about the size of the portions. Get a life. If you want large portions go to pizza hut. I also see some reviews commenting on prices being high. Yes, this place isn’t cheap, but its worth it. In summary, a lovely place with beautiful ambience, charming waitresses and great vegetarian food. A rare find. Enjoy.

Good one. Like a vegetarian tapas restaurant with skillfully made dishes. Not cheap but worth it.

Amazing food, highly recommended

A very classy restaurant and my non-vegetarian friend was super impressed. Delicious food and a really relaxed vibe. Tucked away in a pretty Bath street. Definitely one to re-visit as there are so many dishes to try. Lovely wine too!

It is our second time in Bath, and second time at Oak. We were as impressed as we were the first time. Their cuisine is innovative, creative, each meal is beautifully arranged on the plate, and pleasing for the eyes, The food is an explosion of flavour and texture in the mouth. And yet the ingredients are so simple: mostly in season local vegetables. I could feel the love and respect for each ingredient while eating. The Chef is an artist. The staff is nice and friendly, and I like the vibe of this place. If you visit Bath, make sure you book at Oak, it's more than worth it!

This review is really late but we visited last summer and loved this place! Great veggie options, reasonably priced and filling despite being light- great for a lunch. Will definitely pop in next time I’m in Bath.

Best meal I had in years, so rich in flavour and inventive, generous portions too for a ‘small plate’ style restaurant. We had 3 dishes each so tried 60% of the menu and all were stunning and filling. I’d come back to Bath just to dine here again :)

Very unique experience. Lovely recipes and a quaint ambience.

Incredible restaurant, highly recommended.

We had a weekday lunch for two. The waitress was efficient and helpful. We had 5 small plates between us and it was more than enough. All were absolutely delicious. We are not vegetarian but we happily eat veggie food. We will recommend this restaurant to our friends. I especially loved the arancini with wild garlic aioli.

Absolutely blown away. Food was impeccable. Everything made from scratch in the kitchen. The focaccia was a particular highlight. Please bare in mind the food comes as and when ready not all together. The place is small but very cosy and the person who served us was very helpful and attentive despite every table being full. Highly recommend.

We took the 5 courses feast and it was very tasty! I heartily recommend, especially the the beetroot/Ricotta. Good service too

The atmosphere is nice, the food is fantastic, but the portions are inadequate for the high prices. Portions twice as large or half the price each would be ok. There are virtually no main courses, just vegetarian tapas and you need at least 4-5 to fill you up and then, despite the simple vegetarian ingredients, you quickly reach £60 per person. There is also a service charge of 12.5%, which is rather unusual outside of London. We also only wanted one menu and a little a la carte or to share a menu, both were rejected without explanation. There are also hardly any carbohydrates/filling side dishes, and some so-called main courses even contain none at all. We had our most expensive meal in several weeks of vacation in England and for the first time we didn't get full and had to eat chips and nuts with raisins in the guesthouse.

i’ve eaten here during both of my trips to Bath and it’s outstanding! wonderful service, small restaurant (book in advance) and it’s beautiful. The food? The best vegetarian food i’ve ever had. Their bread is soooo good but save room for everything else!

i tried the lunch menu and all 3 dishes were good. overall, loved the unique recipes based on local seasonal produce, but the portion is a bit too small for the main. service wise, i didn’t like how they charged a flat 12.5% fee while the staff couldn’t tell me what the sauce in the salad is made out of even though it literally says on the menu. prolly won’t come back even though it was a good experience. detailed review on the 3 dishes: - asparagus and spinach soup: creamy when you first taste it but you get the more water-like texture later on. the spice and saltiness also give it a nice kick but not overwhelming. - rhubarb and chicory: you can taste the ingredients flavors very distinctly: chicory’s sweetness, the smoked almond butter’s acidity, the almonds earthiness and pickled rhubarbs cripsy. - potato, mushroom and caramelized cauliflower: other than the smoked mushroom being too acidic, the other two were terrific. i didn’t know one can make potatoes so full of its original flavors and nuaced. the cauliflower was also a surprise.

I had a lovely solo lunch at OAK on my vacation. The local, seasonal vegetarian food and natural wine was absolutely delicious from start to finish. I had broccoli fennel soup, beetroot pate with walnuts, and a spectacular potato terrine with smoked mushrooms and caramelized cauliflower. Very cute spot. Highly recommend!

Pleasant dinner spot, great vegan selection, interesting flavour combinations, friendly staff

I came here with my girlfriend and I had so wanted this to be great, but the cost of the dishes compared to the portion of foods was dreadful value for money. The chicory salad was very disappointing, the risotto balls were tiny albeit tasty, and the Jerusalem artichokes (which were undeniably exceptional) were just too few. If you have lots of money to spend then go for it - you'll spend lots on these small plates, but 40 odd quid for 3 tiny portions and two drinks, plus a service charge for bare-minimum service is just ridiculous. Food is not good or large enough to warrant the price and relies on pretentious instagrammability. The rhubarb cordial was undrinkable. We left hungry and annoyed.

Wow - we had the most amazing meal here after googling vegan places in Bath, and can't believe we got so lucky. The atmosphere was cosy and great. They use biodynamic, organic ingredients and each dish has been expertly curated with deliciously complimentary flavours and textures. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and we were shocked at how reasonable our bill was after feeling liked we'd splashed out. They also let us bring our well behaved dog and sit in the front of the restaurant, which is a bonus for us. We will definitely be visiting again.

The set menu took me by surprise, it was much better than I expected. The beetroot Pate is out of this world! A must go if you are a vegetarian in or visiting Bath.

The food here was really wonderful and the staff were so kind and helpful. I'm very sensitive to cross-contamination so usually book in advance but even though we just turned up on the day it wasn't an issue and they even offered to adapt if we wanted! It's rare to find restaurants that offer dishes that are exciting and different, where you don't know what to expect, and we loved all the flavours and the freshness of the ingredients. Worth a trip back to the city for this restaurant alone!

A very cozy little vegetarian and vegan restaurant with mainly local produce. They have a set three course lunch menu and a five course set dinner menu as well as a la carte. Service is very friendly and attentive, the venue very cozy and relaxed. We came for lunch and had a beautiful caramelised cauliflower soup, radicchio with beetroot, broccoli sprouts on flat bread, potato terrine and the favourite; smoked ricotta pasta. It was a wow factor. The dessert selection was lovely with fun flavours. We went for the custard pie with nutmeg ice-cream and the chocolate ganache with sourdough ice cream. Both delicious. Oh, and the home made sourdough focaccia was a dream. A must when in Bath!

Wonderful and surprising creativity in the meals. Definitely a memorable lunch. Staff were also very friendly. Can’t wait to go back.

Outstanding flavours, every plate a delight! The roasted cauliflower soup tasted amazing with the home baked bread, the broccoli ricotta flatbread & potato terrine both outstanding & packed with flavour. The custard tart with nutmeg ice cream was out of this world! Really special birthday lunch followed by a film at the Tivoli, perfect on a drizzly February day.

unbelievable flavours. On reading the menu it looked so simple but the thought that must have gone into these amazing dishes can be nothing but simple. Every mouthful was a delight and the passionate knowledgeable staff who were only too happy explaining how the dishes were made, really enhanced the experience. This is restaurant redefines food...just amazing.

Lovely atmosphere, wonderful staff, and some of the best food I've ever tasted; I highly recommend the Jerusalem Artichokes with Ajo Blanco sauce!

The Oak is one of our favourite places to eat in Bath. The dishes are always amazing and the staff have always been extremely welcoming and helpful. I'd highly recommend it to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike!

Came here for Valentine's Day with my partner. Very alert to allergies and dietary requirements. Delightful service. Food came so rapidly. Its small plates that come whenever they're ready and as soon as we finished one plate another came. It was pretty spectacular. Food was very good, though maybe felt ever so slightly priced too highly but there is a premium for the sourcing of ingredients they use. Really enjoyed it, would recommend checking out, certainly if you're vegetarian.

Had an amazing dinner for my girlfriend’s birthday, and it was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. We had the 5 course feast, left feeling very satisfied, very full and very much want to come back again soon!

Outstanding gem of a restaurant we came across quite randomly. After a string of meals that mostly involved bread and meat, we were eager to find something with vegetables -- enter Oak. Service, vibes, and food were all excellent, prices reasonable, and portions generous -- we're two bigger guys who ordered 7 dishes and were extremely satisfied, and we eat more than most. Standout dishes: ravioli (amazing), the bread was amazing, the artichokes, the beetroot pate, and the squash flatbread...but honestly, every dish we got was excellent.

Not great :( staff were really friendly however felt a bit let down. When it says homemade sparkling rhubarb for a drink one would assume you would taste rhubarb. Sadly not. Food wise it was good but some basics like when you order bread for the table it’s really nice if it were warm bread. As well for someone 6ft 4 the seating was extremely painful and getting up out of the seat hurts as your knees were so squished. Glad we tried it but not for us and would just say make sure that it’s somewhere where you would want to try and do your research before booking to make sure it’s somewhere you want to go to.

We enjoyed a romantic meal here last night where we both had the feast menu. Fantastic food, interesting vegetarian combinations which highlighted the fabulous flavours of the vegetables - our favourite was the cauliflower ravioli. One of us also had the wine pairing which was interesting but not as good as the food. The ambience and service were excellent - would recommend.

Wonderful selection of seasonal produce, everything fantastically cooked, friendly and helpful staff all in a beautiful atmosphere. Will be back!

oak was a quaint delicious vegetarian restaurant. We had the artichokes, raccioki, cannelloni bean sourdough, radicchio/ beet salad and croquettes. We are not vegetarians but everything was so delicious. We would highly recommend this restaurant. Service was also wonderful. If you want something authentic, delicious and original this is your place.

Very stylish and unfussy place. The service was great. They explain the set up and food very well and the food was delicious. In particular we loved the Jerusalem artichokes.

We were very disappointed to be seated in the downstairs dining space and I would highly suggest skipping the experience all together if you can't sit upstairs in the main dining room. The downstairs is cramped and cold, in between the noisy kitchen and busy bathroom, and silent. There's no music. The lighting and decor didn't match the romantic and beautiful vibe of the main (upstairs) dining areas. The food was very oily and buttery--from the bread and salad, to the risotto and pastas. My favorite part was the wine--a fantastic natural wine that really hit the spot. I also liked the housemade pickles. As a vegetarian I was incredibly excited for this premium, plant-based dining experience but I'm sad to say that I left very disappointed by the service, atmosphere, and food.

One of the better veg and vegan restaurants. On a par with the top London Vegetarian restaurants.

Awesome all round, food, service, atmosphere, everything was great. We chose Oak for a special meal for my 40th birthday and we loved every minute. The Artichokes were the stand out dish for sure!

Food amazing, incredibly tasty. We were amazed at how much flavour can be had from the simple looking carrot starter. Service, attentive fun and sociable. We were a party of 4 and had virtually 1 of every dish to share. Cost came to £20 per head. We had enough to eat and loved every dish. This place is on a par with Mildred's, Mallow and other top notch London Vegetarian establishments. Definitely will return, definitely!!

Lovely vegetarian food, the atmosphere was romantic but casual. Slightly too oily, our favourite dishes were the carrots with fermented cashews and ravioli.

We had gone to Oak for dinner and had ordered two dishes: 1)Hummus, Hodmedods chickpeas, harissa, chard and 2)Charlotte potato, thyme and Old Winchester flatbread. The Pros: 1) Quaint and charming ambiance. 2) The staff very sweet and helpful. 3) The Hummus dish tasted very nice and the bread was fresh. 4) The service was quick. The Cons: 1) The portion size was nearly like a tapa's portion size. So we need to order more dishes. 3) The Charlotte Potato dish tasted bland. 4) The price on the higher side considering the portion size. 5) The bathroom was tiny, so it was a little difficult to manoeuvre. Thank You for the food and 10/10 on the staff.

The food here is excellent, a real special occasion meal. Everything we ate was great, special shout-out to the sourdough ice cream. Most stuff is vegan (with only a couple of options that can't be made vegan). Great place if you dont eat meat but would also recommend if you do, people next to us ate meat and said it was the best food they'd eaten in bath. It's great here, the wine is nice and the staff were lovely. Came on a Sunday and it was quiet (given it was raining and bath was dead in the evening) yet it felt nice and comforting in there. Had a lovely time and would definitely recommend. It's pricey-ish but we ordered a lot of food and wine so was pretty happy with the price all things considered

Beautiful food….absolutely loved it …a wonderful place…such a pity I could not stay to have the full menu. An absolute gem.
