The World Heritage Site of the City of Bath and the stunning countryside surrounding it is one of England's most beautiful places to visit.
Bath is unique. Its hot springs, Roman Baths, splendid Abbey, magnificent Theatre Royal and Georgian stone crescents have attracted visitors for centuries. Set in rolling countryside, just over 100 miles west of London, it is a beautiful and unforgettable place to visit.
Bath has also had a long tradition of providing hospitality. This is a visual guide to the many and varied restaurants in Bath. We hope that it will be a valuable resource for residents and visitors alike looking for places to eat.

Almost every type of cuisine is present in Bath, with Chinese, Thai, French, Italian and Indian being particularly well represented, along with some particularly good seafood restaurants. Bath also has some exceptional takeaways, with Schwartz Brothers getting a special mention for quality, consistency, and longevity, having been something of a Bath institution for over 20 years.
We have attempted to include most of the take-aways and everywhere in Bath that sells food that can be eaten on the premises, from the hotdog man in Green Park Station to Michelin-starred restaurants. Though the distinction between pubs and restaurants is increasing blurred we have not included them here. They can be found on the Bath Pubs site.
The food scene in Bath is not just about restaurants. The 2007 Taste of Bath Festival was held in Victoria Park in late June, and was a huge success despite the indifferent weather.
A regular Farmers Market is held in Green Park Station on Saturdays, and there are occasional Continental Markets in Queen Square. There are, amongst others, Chinese, Italian and Polish food shops. Walcot Street has been home to Harvest Natural Foods since 1971, a workers co-operative that supplies the best of natural, non-GMO, vegetarian food and ecological products. There are also a couple of excellent cheese shops. It is worth seeking out Eades Greengrocers (behind the Royal Crescent) for extremely fine locally grown veg. Bath is also home to the Bertinet Kitchen a purpose built cookery school that opened in September 2005.
