The Best Breakfast and Brunch Spots in Bath, UK
"Café Retro is a great hub for that perfect morning cure in a really trendy, two floor café which overlooks The Abbey. There is a variety of options including cooked and light breakfasts, each at reasonable prices with generous helpings. It's a great place for big groups of people as it is quite a large venue, but also great for couples or families as the atmosphere is vibrant and friendly."
"Set in the heart of the city overlooking Bath Abbey, Café Retro is a cool choice for a hearty breakfast. The menu is extensive and varied, including the traditional cooked breakfast options as well as American style pancakes, avocado on toast and Bath Buns. But for an indulgent treat, you must try one of their specialty Croques – the Croque Madame gets our vote!"
"Bill’s Salisbury restaurant, in the heart of the city, just a couple of minutes walk from the Cathedral, is a classic mix of Bill’s signature pi ..."
"I first came across Society in its home city of Bath, where I managed to visit the two branches in the order that they opened, a rarity for the Coffee Spot, starting with Kingsmead Square before moving onto The Corridor. However, I’ve safely broken that trend by skipping the third Society Café, in Oxford, instead visiting the fourth and most recent branch which opened this summer in Bristol. You’ll find Society Café down by the harbour, on the corner of Narrow Quay and Farr’s Lane, right next to the youth hostel."
"Society Café is one of my favourite spots in the centre, especially when with the kids as it’s plenty spacious enough for a pushchair. It has a bright and airy, somewhat hipster, design and serves up great coffee, sweet treats and light lunches."
"This little place on Cheltenham Road are doing a selection of tapas dishes on a Friday & Saturday with awesome roasts available on the Sunday. Address: 182-184 Cheltenham Rd, Cotham, Bristol BS6 5RB"
"This little place on Cheltenham Road are doing a selection of awesome food each day. Address: 182-184 Cheltenham Rd, Cotham, Bristol BS6 5RB"
"Bill’s has pulled out all the stops with a dedicated Pancake Menu (available 21 February to 1 March) that will see you through from breakfast to dinnertime. Classic lemon and sugar, decadent caramelised banana and salted caramel sauce, and roast tomato and black olive are some of the toppings on offer. They’ve got two options for kids too, should you be after a family-friendly pancake fix."
"Bill’s opens early and cooks throughout the day, serving sumptuous food in a quirky and modern environment. This chain restaurant is a great example of how to create the feel of an independent eatery, whatever your size. Customer favourites include organic, coconut porridge, huge stacks of American-style pancakes and the hearty full English, called Bill’s Breakfast."
"Redland restaurant Wilks champions local produce and suppliers and serves a delicious, contemporary menu, with choices consisting of dishes such as salt marsh lamb saddle with Roscoff onion, root vegetables and Kalibos cabbage, and lemon leaf panna cotta made with lemon jelly, creme fraiche and wild Madagascan pepper sorbet. Its five-course tasting menu, which has the option of being accompanied with a different wine for each course, is extremely popular and costs £58pp for the food, as well as an extra £45pp for the wine. The cooking at Wilks is light and modern with an emphasis on clean flavours and seasonal ingredients."
"What: Chef James Wilks got his first break as a teenager working at Midsummer House in Cambridge, before travelling the globe and cooking in some serious Michelin-starred restaurants. Fast-forward a few years and James now has his own Michelin-starred gaff in Redland – with a mini art gallery attached. The food here is contemporary and seasonal, with West Country producers making a big contribution and culinary ideas gleaned from the chef’s travels."
"While British food isn’t as famous (and rightly so) than other cuisines – although we do excel at preparing potatoes – the diversity of the UK and Bristol, especially the food scene is fantastic. Some of my favourite eateries are:. , located in the Whapping Wharf bar and restaurant quarter, serving up authentic Mexican food (I’m claiming this as someone who has spent a while living in Mexico!)."
"What: SquareMeal’s UK Restaurant of the Year 2018 is a hugely impressive harbourside venture located on the ground floor of the old Bristol General Hospital building, now given a stylish 21st-century makeover in chic neutrals. Casamia's enthusiastic staff aid and abet the chefs in the open kitchen as they take diners on an immensely flavoursome gastronomic journey inspired by the seasons. One-word descriptions (‘salad’, ‘turbot’, ‘duck’) give few clues to the sheer brilliance of the food, but all is revealed once the delicately complex creations start arriving on bespoke crockery."
"The prices may mean you have to save visits for a special occasion (you’re looking at close to £100 per person for the full menu or Chef’s Table, and it’s non-refundable once you book), but Casamia has a reputation for ambition that has put it at the top of Bristol’s fine dining establishments. This doesn’t make it overly formal – there’s no dress code. A focus on seasonal produce means menus change regularly, though there is an Italian influence."
"Probably the best known Michelin star restaurant in Bristol, Casamia is a fine dining experience like no other. The menu at Casamia changes with the seasons, as does the interior of the restaurant. The dishes are designed to showcase seasonal produce at its best and are inspired by childhood memories, locations and people the chefs have met."
"If you’re a fan of fish and chips then this restaurant is a must-visit. Head chef and owner Garry Rosser serves up only super fresh sustainably caught fish from UK waters with the menu changing daily according to the latest catch. He and his team then cook up the delicious seafood with finesse, coating it in the lightest of batters with hand-cut chips from locally sources potatoes."
"From the Jane Austen Centre to the Fashion Museum, the Holburne Museum to the Museum of Bath Architecture, there’s plenty to choose from. Add into this mix the Bath art scene with its Victoria Art Gallery and Theatre Royal, as well as its burgeoning restaurant scene, and there’s more than enough to fit into a Bath day tip."
"The museums in Bath give the very essence of its citizens and rich culture. If you are looking for something deeper and more meaningful, head to the museums in city. Explore the cultural, artistic, scientific, or historical side of Bath with these museums."
