• Eating out in Bath

From celebrity chefs to cool cafés, Bath has a huge variety of eateries for you to try out. These are spread throughout the city and many international cuisines are very well-represented.

Jamie’s Italian at Milsom Place is owned by TV celebrity chef Jamie Oliver. It offers a selection of surprisingly affordable and incredibly tasty pasta dishes from meatballs to ravioli. Daily specials are offered too, along with some truly tempting desserts.

For authentic Asian cuisine look no further than Thai by the Weir on Argyle Street. Here you’ll find a huge selection of noodle and rice dishes to choose from including Malaysian fish curry and plenty more. It’s a lot bigger inside than it appears from the outside, with a couple of levels where you can sit.

Vegans and vegetarians should note that The Porter, a pub on George Street, serves veggie food exclusively. Mushroom pie, nachos and veggie burgers are just some of tempting dishes you’ll find on the menu. The food is reasonably priced too, and the pub has a great atmosphere as it’s frequented by locals who come here to enjoy the meat-free fare.

If you’re looking for somewhere relaxed to head for breakfast to recover from the night before, make sure you check out Same Same But Different on Bartlett Street. This is definitely one of the coolest cafés in Bath and it does a selection of delicious, good value breakfasts made using locally sourced ingredients. They also do a great variety of coffees and plenty more besides.

One of the things you shouldn’t miss while staying in Bath is a trip to Sally Lunn’s. At this old-school teahouse you can sample the brioche-like Sally Lunn Bath bun (pictured here) which can be eaten sweet or savoury. Probably the best way to enjoy a Sally Lunn bun is with lashings of jam and clotted cream.

So, no matter what you fancy for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you’ll find an eatery in Bath offering food to tickle your taste buds.
