Restaurants
Bathtub Bistro 2 Grove St tel 01225/460593, . Round the corner from Pulteney Bridge, this place looks tiny from the outside but reveals several eating areas on different levels. The menu includes one hundred percent-beef hamburgers, vegetarian dishes and spiced ice cream. BYOB Mon & Tues. Inexpensive to moderate. Demuth's 2 North Parade Passage tel 01225/446059. Bath's favourite eating place for veggies and vegans, offering original and delicious dishes, as well as organic beers, wines and coffees. Decor is bright and modern. No smoking. Booking advisable at weekends. Moderate to expensive. Cafe Retro 18 York St. A laid-back place near the Abbey offering an inventive international menu, all to mellow sounds. Also a good spot for a cappuccino break during the day. BYOB. Moderate. Eastern Eye 8 Quiet St tel 01225/422323, . Just off Milsom Street in the centre of Bath, this designer curry house occupies a Georgian bank, with a spectacular vaulted ceiling. The food's good too, impeccably presented and served. Moderate. Pimpernel's Royal Crescent Hotel , 16 Royal Crescent tel 01225/823333. English-based classics with Mediterranean influences make this the best restaurant in Bath, all in sumptuous surroundings. Non-smoking. Very Expensive. Popjoy's Restaurant Sawclose tel 01225/460494. Though somewhat twee, this restaurant is worth the splurge for its prime location next to the Theatre Royal, and for the curiosity value of being Beau Nash's house (it's named after his mistress). The food is high-quality Modern British, with great desserts, and there's a good-value pre-theatre menu. Closed Sun. Expensive. Pump Room Abbey Church Yard tel 01225/444477. If you don't want to splash out on an Eggs Benedict brunch, you might succumb to a Bath bun here in the morning, or a bewildering range of cream teas in the afternoon, or the excellent lunch-time menu, all to the accompaniment of a classical trio. You get a good view of the baths, and a chance to sample the waters, though be prepared to queue. Open daytime only, plus evenings during the Bath Festival. Inexpensive to moderate. Tilley's Bistro 3 North Parade Passage tel 01225/484200. Informal, rather cramped French restaurant with starter-sized and -priced portions to allow more samplings, good set-price lunchtime menus and a separate vegetarian menu. Closed Sun. Moderate. Walrus and Carpenter 25 Barton St. Popular spot near the Theatre Royal, serving steaks, burgers, poultry dishes and a full vegetarian menu. Moderate.
