Restaurants in Bath

Nestling between the Cotswolds and the Mendip Hills, Bath has been welcoming visitors for more than 2000 years (just think of the famous Roman baths), but it's now famed for its genteel atmosphere and elegant Georgian architecture.

Once the home of Jane Austen, it's still one of the most fashionable cities in the west of England, with a keen interest in all things gastronomic. Bath's restaurant scene is blossoming, its pubs are undergoing something of a renaissance and even local specialities like Bath Chaps are making a comeback.
