OAK Restaurant 2 North Parade, Bath BA1 1NX

"Cute little place. Small portions and London prices but worth it if you like to try new things (we are not vegetarians). The bread and the artichokes were delicious. The ravioli were good too. Not a fan of the cauliflower stew and the cabbage (plus, the latter was messy to eat). The salad was quite meh. You'll need 2 1/2 or 3 plates per person. For parents: There is no nappy changing table but I'm not sure one would fit even if they tried, the bathrooms are tiny."

"I may have had one of the best meals of my life today. Every. Single. Dish. Every one was perfect. Well balanced. This was a totally unexpected experience when it comes to the quality and flavor profiles. My only criticism, which now feels somewhat petty given the culinary experience, is they don’t do the five course meal option for single diners (it is meant for two or more). So, I created my own and they adjusted the bill and portion sizes accordingly. This was a pleasant surprise and I am glad they did because I would have felt awful to waste any of it. This place is a gem. Eat here. You wil not regret it."

"I walked by Oak a few times and I was always skeptical but a friend suggested we visit spontaneously and I’m so glad we did! I found the staff to be so caring in a very subtle way without being overwhelming at all. The food was mind-blowing. TMI but I didn’t brush my teeth that evening because I wanted to keep the taste of the charred asparagus for as long as I can! The coffee was great and I asked for something for a replacement for the ice cream for dessert (it had alcohol and I’m pregnant) and it was a breeze to replace and was paired very nicely with something else! Overall a great experience and we’ll be back for sure!"

"Absolutely incredible from start to finish! I’ve walked past this restaurant a huge amount as I live in Bath but had never thought of going in, and I’m so glad I did. Lovely staff who greeted my mum and I and looked after us throughout the meal. The sparkling Sauvignon was very light and refreshing to compliment all of the dishes. We had a plethora of dishes as they recommend two to three each and each one was just as beautiful as the previous. Even the garden salad, from their kitchen garden, was to die for. I would and have thoroughly recommended this to friends and family to try, vegetarian or not!"

"First of all, I’m a full-on carnivore…however, the vegan dishes at Oak were absolutely delicious! Quirky interiors, great service, very interesting wine pairings and food to die for! The highlight by far was the smoked celeriac and apple soup - such an interesting flavour profile and absolutely delightful. The leeks and the artichokes were also exceptionally good. Couldn’t recommend enough."
