This is a great cafe in central Bath. I go there whenever I'm in Bath (which used to be often) and it is my favourite place to eat there. They serve an excellent English breakfast all day, but not only that, they do toasted sandwiches, salads, baked potatoes and other more filling options. Jazz music is (as you might expect) played at all times. Take the kids here - they'll like it, as will you.

Walking into The Bell felt as good as discovering buried treasure.
They have an unparalleled selection of local ales and ciders and a beautiful (and partially covered) beer garden.
The sandwiches are large, inexpensive, and delicious. If memory serves me correctly, all sandwiches are veggie-friendly.
We intended to stay for an hour, and ended up staying all night.
Walcot St, Bath
Tucked away in a courtyard setting just off Broad Street, the M&S is quiet, private, romantic and feels deliciously secret.
The food is modern, simple and well presented. The wine list is long and not prohibitively expensive.
The M&S is not the cheapest place to eat in Bath but its one of the very best and always frequented the in-the-know locals who love it.
Broad Street, Bath, just behind Shires Yard
La Flamenca is fantastic. As you walk down the winding steps into the vaults it's like walking into Spain. The tapas is great (spinach and chickpeas is amazing). I've been told the paella is fab too, and it certainly looks it. At the tapas bar you sit on stools with high barrels for tables. A must if you adore Spanish food, and very reasonable: two people, several dishes and a number of beers cost £24!

This is a vegetarian restaurant near Sally Lunns. I am not a 'veggie' but was so impressed by the meal we ate that I bought the recipe book!
Friendly atmosphere,welcoming staff and great cooking makes this restaurant well worth a visit.
