Circus Cafe and Restaurant

Situated in a former Georgian house, The Circus Restaurant is full of period charm and Bath’s fascinating history. It can be found nestled between two of Bath’s most iconic landmarks: the Royal Crescent and the Circus, both providing breathtaking examples of Georgian architecture. Outstanding expertise from chef Ali Golden and dazzling dishes have earned it a spectacular reputation in Bath’s food scene and various accolades.

The Bath Priory

One of the city’s most luxurious hotels, The Bath Priory boasts a superb Michelin starred restaurant. The short stroll, through the city’s historic streets, from Bath’s centre to this country house hotel, dating back to the 1800s, is picturesque in itself, but the sight of the hotel’s stunning facade, sumptuous drawing rooms, and quintessentially English gardens is simply breathtaking. However, it won’t just be the architecture taking your breath away: the modern European cuisine here at The Bath Priory dazzles with its exquisite flavour combinations, delicate presentation, and quality ingredients. Stay in one of the hotel’s palatial rooms, or spend a day relaxing together in the Priory’s luxury spa beforehand.

Opa

If the array of Greek meze dishes and the divine cocktails at this restaurant-bar don’t win over the hearts of diners, then the vaulted cellar, exposed brickwork, and warm glow of its low lighting are sure to work their magic. The diverse menu options at Opa are sure to tempt even the most discerning palates.

Green Park Brasserie

Green Park Brasserie‘s commitment to serving fine quality food at reasonable prices has made it a firm local favourite. Enjoy a romantic dinner and the dulcet sounds of live jazz or infectious swing music at this Bath city centre favourite. The superb location abounds with history, the building that houses the restaurant having acted as the city’s bustling 19th century train station and the restaurant itself, the station’s booking hall. Marks of this fascinating past can be found in the brasserie’s charming interior.
