Eating Out

Unsurprisingly, Bath is a great destination for foodies: although Michelin-starred or celebrity chef endorsed restaurants are thin on the ground, the restaurant scene is varied and fun with something for everybody and some very good quality establishments for those wanting to splash out.

Visitors should note that there are many good places to eat out just outside of the city, including some quaint old country pubs. Gourmets should consider visiting Bath during the annual Great Bath Feast (usually in October), when the city shows off with farmer's markets, cookery classes, tastings, and chef demonstrations.

There are good restaurants dotted all over the city and it is better for visitors to search for the kind of restaurant they want than to head to a certain restaurant district. Those on a budget will find that there is plenty to choose from. The dominant cuisine is traditionally British, as one would expect from this staunchly English city that relishes tradition and historic charm.
