Where to eat in Bath
There is a staggering choice of places to eat out in Bath. Choices include excellent Indian, Chinese, Thai, Turkish, Italian, French and Nepalese restaurants, and a sophisticated pub food scene. Almost all the restaurants can be found on the Bath Restaurants web site.
Bath is not as big as it might be on al fresco dining, but it can be done. Browns and Bar Ha Ha both have outdoor areas, good for people watching.
Generally speaking it is easy to eat well in Bath. From the Michelin-starred top end, through the many independant restaurants, all the way down to take-aways, though you may pay slightly over the odds - Bath is an expensive city.
Anywhere to avoid? Apart from the obvious tourist traps around the Abbey, and the blander chain pubs, no, not really.
Some recommendations |

Schwartz BrothersFabulous take-away burgers and shakes from two locations - Walcot Street, and close to the Theatre Royal in Sawclose. |
 |
Zazas - Walcot StreetOne of Bath's best Italian restaurants. Delicate salads, great pasta and seafood, fabulous pizzas, and a small selection of really first rate deserts (try the Easter cake). |
 |
Browns - Orange GroveHoused in an imaginative conversion of an old police station (loos are in the cells). Located in a busy spot opposite the Abbey. Good food, and an excellent place to eat outdoors on a nice day. |
 |
The Desh - Chelsea RoadA very nice curry house situated in the suburbs close to the hospital. Friendly service and really excellent curries at a good price |
 |
Bar Ha Ha - Beehive Yard, off Walcot StreetPart of a pub chain housed in an imaginative conversion of Bath's old tram shed. Expensive drinks (which keeps out the riff-raff) and good canteen-style food. Outside seating area good for people watching in the summer. |
 |
The Raven - Queen Street, off Queen SquareNice central pub. Wide selection of real ales. Good food, including pies from Bristol's Pie Minister (they supply Harvey Nichols, so they must be good). |
