Guidebook for Bath
Favourite Eating Places
Bath has lots of choices of places to eat, but these days they all tend to get very busy , especially at weekends. We strongly suggest you book tables well ahead to avoid disappointment. Some reliable favourites are:
Cote Brasserie ( a chain but excellent)
The Bathwick Boatman ( on the river, must prebook)
The Salamander Pub ( St Austell Brewery)
Chez Dominique (independent bistro)
Graze ( rooftop terrace, bar / restaurant)
Cafe Lucca at The Loft ( independent, spacious, daytime only)
..... and for a special treat
The Ivy Brasserie
There are many others too, Italian, Thai, Indian, Vegan etc and most can be found on the OpenTable website.
