The best restaurants in Bath and North East Somerset South West

We had an amazing dinner at Olio restaurant. The entire hotel is dog friendly and so is the dining area. My dining companions said this was the best rice pudding they had ever eaten (pictured). They had the salmon, I had the cauliflower steak and another person had the lamb. All were incredibly delicious.

Una excelente experiencia constante en Meadgate. El menú del desayuno era amplio y todos elegimos algo diferente. Todo estaba servido junto y era caliente, sabroso y abundante. ¡Volveremos pronto!

Fabuloso café vegano en Bath, tuvimos compartiendo nachos que fueron los mejores que hemos probado y un fantástico pastel de queso de ruibarbo y jengibre, tan ligero y delicado que recomiendo absolutamente. Fantástico entorno y muy amable y agradable.

They are really friendly and provide good service, food is good and portion good enough .

No.15, a boutique Guest House and restaurant and, first stop, cocktails with it’s weird and wonderful bar fashioned in scalloped leather scales to resemble exotic fish. Pretty cool place. I have a penchant for lighting and music which, combined, can either create or kill the perfect ambience in equal measure. The backdrop beats were on point, but the lighting was too severe for my liking. Nonetheless I downed an excellent Negroni before we were escorted downstairs to the small (36 covers) convivial restaurant. Like the bar the restaurant has plenty of attention-grabbing details including the vast array of eclectic portraits lining the walls and other odd arts and objects. The menu is welcomingly short with just half a dozen choices for each course which, in turn, gives the Diner assurance that the chef is confident in their ability to nail each one by applying the less is more mantra. For the most part we were served with memorable and seriously good cookery. Focussing on all that was great, I started with Bath chaps (pigs’ cheek) served with smoked bacon, pear relish and endive and followed with duck breast, swede and duck leg boulangère potato with a peppercorn jus. We shared honey roasted root vegetables. All excellent and surprisingly good portions. She kicked-off with ricotta and sage gnocchi which she declared was magnificent and followed with 30-day aged ribeye steak with a port and stilton sauce, roast mushroom and chips. Finally, we two-spooned a sticky toffee pudding in a Bath ale toffee sauce with honeycomb ice cream. Was this culinary perfection ? Well not quite with just a couple of small niggles. The pre-starter bread may have come from the legendary Bertinet Bakery, but it was, in all honesty, bland and served with butter. A personal thing but I prefer an extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic dip. The chips had an odd spry crisp’n dry after taste. The bill came in at a reasonable £132 (including 10% service).

Fue un gran día en el oso, el clima era buena comida con grandiosa y la cerveza era excepcional como de costumbre. Tom y su equipo fueron increíbles y gracias por organizar tan gran evento esperamos verlos pronto. Es bueno ver la asociación con Dorothy house también más por favor

My husband and myself were visiting bath for the Christmas market and were delighted we were going to be in Bath on the same day as old friends we hadn't seen for a few years due to covid and geography. We chose the grumpy baker due to reviews and were not disappointed. We were there for a good few hours and with cases as we were flying home straight after the lunch. No one objected or said we were in the way. We had coffee, toasted Panini's, then tea and delicious cakes. We had not met the children before and basically had a wonderful time in what felt like our living room. The café was busy, pleasant ,welcoming and the staff were always smiling and helpful. I can see why so many families go there. Clean and with lovely food reasonably priced. If I lived in Bath I would be a regular visitor. Merry Xmas to the very happy staff at the Grumpy Baker.

Service was amazing (Kim especially) came one night for drinks and came back again the next for dinner because we loved it so much. Amazing food and service and a great cozy vibe.

This way, beautifully dressed toddlers; that way, somebody on laptop emails and a healthy breakfast. It's colourful, comfy and creatively imaginative, with nice coffee and enticingly unique cakery (+ great savouries). I was there at 9:45 and just missed the last croissant, but was delighted by the alternative offer. Widcombe must be up-and-coming with this place for the up-and-come; I didn't see anybody in a suit, but you could try it.

First time order for breakfast delivery and the food was top notch. Fresh and tasty, will definitely be enjoying more of the menu soon!

We have had yet another fabulous evening at Athena in Radstock. Harry and his team produce fantastic food in wonderful surroundings and at such great value for money! We are so lucky to have this fantastic restaurant on our doorstep and we will return again and again! Thank you Harry!

A great local cafe offering lovely food and drinks with friendly service, plenty of tables, loo with baby changing. Has good opening hours too. Really nice to know somewhere that’s reliably good to pop into when in the area.

Rose Cottage is a great community cafe ran by amazing volunteers and lead by the charismatic and Friendly Nathan! We ordered the breakfast and Nathan not only brought it out with a big smile but he did an amazing dance routine whilst serving us, it was like having Fred Astaire right at our table! Then the rest of the Kitchen staff joined him and sang us a medley of songs from Joseph and the techni colour dream coat, they were so good it was like being in the west end. The Hot chocolate was served with so much cream it looks liked a creamy volcano. We are pretty sure Lewis Capaldi was on the table opposite us as well.

Good food, extensive reasonably priced winelist, great sommelier. Hence the need to book! Do go!

I politely asked if I could sit outside for a glass of wine in the sunshine. The middle aged red haired waitress said I’d have to order food… I explained I’d just eaten… she said “we’re a restaurant, not a pub” and suggested I go somewhere else. Fair enough if that’s the policy but the delivery was seriously lacking and the attitude received has put me off ever coming back for food. A shame.
