England, United Kingdom Food Guide: 10 European food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Bath
Best European restaurants nearby. Discover the best European food in Bath. View Menus, Photos and Reviews for European restaurants near you.. Known for its restorative wonders, Bath was once the home of Jane Austen. Sure, you could attempt to conjure up this elegant city by reading Pride and Prejudice in your tub, but as Bath has a lot more history than your bathroom (we assume, anyway) you'd be missing out. A stroll through Bath is like visiting an open-air museum, with roughly 5,000 buildings in the city drawing notice for their architectural merit. After your stroll, soak in the natural hot waters of the Thermae Bath Spa, once a favorite of the Celts and Romans.

We didn't know about this restaurant but as we were staying at the hotel and in the spa for the day we booked a table for lunch. We were surprised at the quality of the food in any case but when we were able to have the 2-for-1 lunch the price seemed ridiculously low for such sophisticated and delicious food. Not only was the food delicious but beautifully presented with a bit of flair. I just hope they keep up the tradition as I would return to Bath just to eat here again.An attractive and comfortable atmosphere along with good service made this quite a special meal.

Food good; service a bit sketchy. Started well,with our glasses never running dry, then all but evaporated towards the end. Waiter actually snatched away our empty wine bottle without asking whether we wanted anything else. Took four of us about 15 mins to flag down another waiter. Still, the food was quite nice.

I am a great lover of Spanish food, and went here with high hopes, but this restaurant proved to be disappointing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but the food was bland and didn't taste authentic. The Spanish influence appeared limited. From what we were told none of the staff either inside the kitchen or outside were actually Spanish, so although items on the menu were Spanish, I'd not return there.Firstly I am surprised to read your comments on the food. Considering the many others that describe it's authenticity, why didn't you mention it at the time? Regarding our team, I was pleased the staff on duty that day were friendly and welcoming. So frankly I don't see how their nationality should affect your visit. Our English staff are just as passionate about what we do. As it happens nearly everyone in the kitchen is Spanish and about half our floor staff too, including my wife Teresa. We lived in Sanlucar and owned a tapas bar right next to the La Gitana bodega. So collectively we do bring a little Spanish influence and authenticity to the bar. I have messaged you privately regarding the tapas you had on the day.

Perfect location by the river with parking and out of the town centre. Staff very friendly and helpful and service excellent. Really good Sunday lunch menu with 4 meat options, 1 fish and 2 vegetarian. Nice selection of puddings. We had the lamb, pork and chicken, all served with veg and Yorkshire puddings. The meat was really tasty with crispy potatoes and the veg were nicely cooked. Made a real change from the usual over cooked boiled veg and rubbery meat! Chocolate brownie was more like a cake than a brownie. A greater choice of ice creams would have been the icing on the cake as I donât like coconut and vanilla is not very exciting. Maybe next time!

Busting Bath for the weekend and came here for Sunday lunch. Menu was mainly roasts which most of our group really liked. I had seabass which was excellent. All in all great food, well presented, prompt and cheerful service - a perfect lazy Sunday afternoon.

Having been here a number of times previously, as it is our favourite restaurant in Bath, I was really looking forward to sharing the experience with my family. Sadly it did not live up to its usual high billing as it was severely let down by the service and the limitations on the food that I can only put down to cutting costs.Service: These may seem very small, but given the previous high standards I feel the need to point these out as it just felt slap dash and they did not care. 1. On entering the resturant it was raining quite heavy so on passing over our coats and gloves before being shown to the table I asked if it would be possible to try and dry a pair of the gloves (as they have a condition that mean they suffer the cold worse than normal) and got a grunt as a response. On picking up our coats after the meal the lady had completely ignored my request abd had infact placed all the jackets on one hanger meaning the inside of all the jackets were sodden wet and the gloves had just been shoved in the coat pockets2. On sitting at the table I asked the waiter if there were any specials. Just a flat "No" was the response3. During the service the waiter proceeded to lean over the table all night, completely oblivious the people eating had to stop in order to give him space4. It was my girlfriend's birthday and there was a card wishing her happy birthday on getting to the table. Before the dessert the waiter then came up to the table and said, "What is your name?" before wishing her happy birthday. Eh?Food: Some of the dishes were still extremely tasty (eg rack of lamb) however some signs of cutting back:1. A cheesboard that contained a total of 2 types of cheese. No excuses2. 2 of the dessert dishes being sold out. No excuses when we were not even the last sitting3. 4 very small pieces of bread placed on the table for 4 people. Once eaten, there was no offer to replenish4. Previously when there has been a birthday the restaurant has given a small cake. Abs nothing offered Price: Still very reasonably priced, but I believe the costs have gone up a little. Not cheap when sides need to be ordered with steakAll other aspects (eg location, armosphere) please refer to my previous reviews

Discover something new in a truly historic setting. Delicious dishes on an ever changing menu with French and Italian influences.

Eight is simply brilliant!! My partner is gluten and dairy intolerant and they accommodated that with ease. The dishes were absolutely delicious. We especially enjoyed the vegan polenta dish which was incredibly flavoursome. 4 dishes to share plus a cocktail came to £40 each (once we'd added a very well deserved tip) - brilliant value! Our server was super accommodating and friendly. Would highly recommend. Dear Jen, Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your evening and happy that we could accommodate your partners needs. We are glad that you liked your food and service and hope to welcome you back again soon.

We were lucky enough to get a table at relatively short notice when visiting bath recently. Itâs in a slightly out of the way location but the restaurant is lovely in an understated way and The food really lives up to the hype. It was imaginative, beautifully presented and excellent value. The choice of music was great too! We also tried Ortira in Bristol and The Pig near Bath and the food at both were great . if youâre visiting the area, try them all!
