Bouvardia Restaurant

"An absolutely brilliant experience here. The food was delicious and the service was excellent; our waitress was helpful and very attentive all night. I am vegetarian so although there was only one option for each course that I could have, they were so delicious nonetheless. I highly recommend the chocolate fondant dessert and my boyfriend really enjoyed the venison main course. Even the warm homemade bread and butter was top notch. Our table was booked at 7pm on a Saturday evening and it was just us for the first 15 minutes or so, whereas at about 8pm onwards a few more tables arrived, so I would suggest booking later if you prefer slightly more ambiance. This is not a busy, atmospheric restaurant by any means, so if you are looking for that, this will no fulfil it. Having said that, we enjoyed our evening so much we stayed at the restaurant for over three and a half hours just drinking and chatting. I highly recommend the food and service here."

"Absolutely loved this place. It's perfect for couples and small family gatherings as the restaurant is small but cosy. There is an eatery for every occasion and, in my opinion, Bouvardia is for romance. We arrived for a pre dinner drink in the lounge where our order was taken and then led to our table at the time of our booking. Tasty homemade bread with 2 butters, mustard or sesame. With a pre starter of butternut, orange and ginger amuse. For starters we had the smoked pigeon and the salt baked beetroot. Both set the tone for the main courses of treacle cured venison and turbot. To set us up for the dessert and to cleanse the palate, we were served a raspberry and champagne granita. I couldn't resist the sticky toffee pudding with a butterscotch sauce and my wife had the vegan panna cotta. The staff are extremely pleasant and attentive. The service was excellent and unobtrusive. The food was delicious, nicely seasoned and artistically presented. For the right occasion, this restaurant is worth another visit."

"We went for dinner to Bouvardia as part of a weekend away in Bath. This place is quite a gem! The atmosphere is very cosy (small room so reservation strongly recommended), the service was fantastic and the food aligned to everything else - sophisticated and tasty. We all had a very enjoyable evening."

"Nice and beautiful place, especially for couples. Great service. Beautifully presented and tasty food. I highly recommend. We will definitely come back there."

"A small restaurant on the back of the hotel of approx 8 tables. The food and service was excellent, un-rushed and polite service. A 3 coarse meal for £36,50, 2 courses £10 less. Each course has a recommended wine or choose your own from list. A bottle starts at around £30. A little gem that I predict will become very popular and will have to be booked weeks in advance. I highly recommend it."
