Upstairs at Landrace in Bath and North East Somerset

Really great spot with excellent coffee and some delicious bakery options!

This is a review of their very poor customer service, not the bakery/restaurant. It took 3 weeks and 4 reminders to finally get a voucher. I wanted to treat my family with a voucher to use at Upstairs for a birthday. I paid extra for delivery and provided them with an address in Bath. I had to email them after a week to get some news as I was wondering what the next steps were following my order. After emailing them 3 times within 2 weeks, they finally sent the voucher, telling me that they thought I was going to pick it up. I wouldn’t have paid for shipping or given an address if I had planned to collect it. It’s such a shame because the bakery and buns are great. I will just not use the service for vouchers again as they clearly don’t care about their customers.

We came here for lunch on a break from London and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time ! The cheddar fritters were so innovative and delish along with the prawns and the mains of turbot and veal - everything cooked well, tasty and seasoned perfectly. Lovely decor, could have stayed all afternoon Great cider and wine to accompany. Would recommend and return in a heartbeat

Really excellent, nothing negative to say!

We can’t recommend Landrace highly enough. The food is utterly outstanding, the staff are consistently wonderful, the wine list is impeccable and we have never had an average meal here. From the bakery to the restaurant to the deli, the attention to detail would be hard to beat. If you want the best Bath has to offer, come here for lunch dinner or breakfast - maybe all three!

First visit to Upstairs at Landrace. It was our wedding anniversary and we had a lovely time the food was amazing, you must try the corn fritters and chocolate tart. Hope to return very soon.

Wife and I ate here last night, everything was perfect, food, music, ambiance, and staff were delightful.

One of the best vegetarian meals I've had in a long time! Cheddar fritters were amazing and the squash with brown butter hollandaise was perfectly cooked. You can tell that the products are of really good quality 👌 Special mention for the dessert, great way to end the meal 😋

An outstanding small restaurant for the best of local food and bakes. Can’t recommend enough.

Very highly recommend - best restaurant we’ve been to in a long time! We came to Bath for the weekend from London for a celebration and this was the perfect spot. Incredible food, super warm and attentive staff, excellent ambiance. If we lived in Bath, we’d be here all the time! Stop at nothing to come here :)

I came here alongside some others, we were expecting a great experience but it ended up being one of the worst. Food wise, most of the food was okay. However, the kitchen consisted of 3 staff, so the food came out super slow. We were there for 1.5 hours without any of the main dishes being served. Additionally, because the kitchen is an open-style kitchen and quite small, situated next to the tables, the ventilation is seemingly non-existent, so our clothes smelled of fish and the cleaning of the kitchen tops where they cooked different meals. We honestly had to let our clothes out overnight to have that disgusting smell disappear. Moving on to the food that was not good, the grilled prawns were not cooked correctly. They still contained the gunk that a chef having gone to culinary school would know to clean. When we informed our waiter about it, they acted with arrogance, and told us that that is how they are supposed to be served. We come from a country that consumes prawns, sea food and fishes constantly and yet the waiter argued that ‘I am not sorry since that is the way it is supposed to be served’ instead of at least acknowledging our comment and informing the chefs in the kitchen. It was quite poor complaint handling, with an attitude that would be existent in a debate club, rather than a developing restaurant. The prices showcased on the menu were also less expensive than the final receipt prices, which were more increased. To be fair, they gave us back the amount differentiated between the menu and the receipt. However, that means that whoever hasn’t paid attention to the prices has literally been scammed. Finally, on the payment, we paid an extra Oasis Pantry Donation of 1 pound, without even being informed. I would have gladly donated, but as a restaurant, and being a lawyer, you must inform the customers of whether they want to make the donation or not. Overall, i was disappointed from the food, the service and their shady tactics, and it was definitely fitted towards a date style experience, however, i wouldn’t bring a first date or even my girlfriend here.

The best food I had recently. The bread omg, sooooo good

Genuinely one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten in. Each plate we had was beautifully put together and balanced, the staff were so helpful but not overly attentive but were more than happy to talk through the menu and recommend dishes and drinks when we asked. This was a birthday treat but I'd recommend it to anyone who visits Bath.

We went here for lunch and will definitely return for dinner when we are next back in Bath. A lovely range of seasonal plates, accompanied by a fab selection of drinks. Service was lovely - attentive but not overbearing and the staff were really knowledgeable.

Was recommended to eat here by a friend and it was an incredible experience. Really thoughtful and delicious menu, and amazing service to match. Also stopped by for a coffee and sweet treat the next morning at their downstairs bakery, which was also incredible. Highly recommend!

Faultless food drink and service, delicious meal at a lovely place!! Thanks!

We’re visiting from Australia but friends who live locally took us here. Absolutely superb, best food we have eaten in UK so far. Service impeccable too. Prices match the quality of food/service and we had no quibble there. Even came out as we were leaving to recommend a pub for post dinner drink.

Live locally in Bath and eaten here several times and had fantastic experience- one of a small handful of places in the city I’d recommend which serves high quality, memorable food (and wine), not silly prices and is worth visiting time and time again. Locally sourced and great combinations of flavours with lovely, intimate atmosphere that is not formal or pretentious- reminds me of restaurants in North London (hard to find in Bath). Open kitchen and super friendly, relaxed staff make for a great dinner experience. Off the tourist trail too which is another big plus!

Such a lovely hidden gem, food is great, well decorated and the staff is lovely. The interior design reminded us of Japan.

A nice lunch in delightful Bath among spas and historic buildings. The place is small and you enter the first floor through the oven which makes delicious desserts. The lunch menu is small and particular between tradition and innovation. The positive note is certainly for the wine list, with small Italian and French companies and an excellent choice of English cider. The only negative note is the smells from the kitchen that spread everywhere, leaving clothes and jackets soaked in cooking.

- one of the best restaurants i’ve ever had the pleasure of eating at. i discovered landrace upstairs when looking for restaurants in bath after noticing their bakery on instagram. checked out the sample menu, and then found out that the chef that would be cooking for us was also once the head chef at @jolene_n16 (a place i’ve wanted to visit for AGES and still haven’t) so immediately booked, best decision i’ve ever made - the interior is gorgeous, minimalistic and comfortable. the menu changes daily, so we knew that the menu online would be slightly different to what we would be greeted with on the night. our waitress was absolutely lovely, she went through the whole menu and talked about how many dishes people would normally order which really helped us as we weren’t sure on portion sizes - the menu is set into three parts; small plates and starters, mains, and puddings. for starters, we decided on; the parmesan fritters, the smoked devon eel, nicola potatoes, créme fraíche and pickled cucumber, and lastly, the pork collar tonnato, runner beans and pangrattato. the parmesan fritters were otherworldly, i would go back just for them. we ordered the eel having both never tried it and it was probably the star of the show for both of us. all of the components to the dish complimented eachother beautifully, it was absolutely delicious. the pork collar was a wonderful mix of different textures and flavours and tasted brilliant. i would recommend those three dishes endlessly to everyone i know. for mains, we shared the hake, sauce vierge and fennel, and also the beef rump, cavolo nero, girolles and persillade. both dishes were wonderfully different to one another. the hake was cooked to absolute perfection and just melted in your mouth. together with the acidity of the tomato’s and the aromatic flavour of the fennel the dish was stunning. the beef rump, girolles and the cavolo nero purée was an absolute match made in heaven. unfortunately we didn’t chose to have a pud as we were SO full and also didn’t hugely fancy the choices on the menu that evening. but it just means we have to go back !

Had a delicious dinner for two at this little hidden gem of a restaurant. The staff were all incredibly friendly and knowledgable, offering helpful wine recommendations and guiding us through the delicious seasonal menu. As others have said you will likely need extra bread to mop up the lovely sauces/juices! The menu really lends itself to sharing but there were several dishes we would happily have eaten twice over.

The staff were very accommodating, the ambience was fabulous and the food was delicious! Can't wait to go back the next time I visit Bath

A truly delightful place with excellent food that’s just a few blocks from city centre. We got an amazing mozzarella and chard dish that was unlike anything I’ve had before, plus great bread (salt level was perfect!) and a very well-dressed salad. We also got a chai and one of the daily special cordials. We went a little after noon on a weekday and there were a few other diners, but it wasn’t too busy (even though the city centre was packed!). Service was great!

Absolutely amazing dishes, great hosts.

Had an amazing dinner served by lovely staff. The food was brilliant and from what I can understand changes with the season/stock. We had 4 sharing plates, 2 pieces of sourdough, sparkling water, 2 cocktails and 2 glasses of wine for £88. A faultless evening. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting an intimate dinner with good food.

We just loved our evening at this fantastic restaurant. We’re lucky enough to live in Bath but to be honest the city has lots of very average restaurants (unlike nearby Bristol) and we’ve been looking for a place just like UAL for a while. Anyway we spent our wedding anniversary here on a Friday night and everything was just about perfect from the moment we arrived until we left. The welcome was warm, the menu was interesting and delicious and the atmosphere was fun and the service faultless. Highly recommended, we’ll be back before our next anniversary!

One of the best meals I’ve had for a long time. 4 of us eating for lunch and we all enjoyed every mouthful. Summer truffle tagliatelle was 🔥🔥 as was the monkfish. The kind of place where you need to order extra bread in order to mop up every little bit of sauce left on your plate!

To recommend outside the hustle and bustle of the city center and above all a very friendly welcome.

Just go. Seriously, just go! Jules is a fantastic hostess, waitress and expeditor of eight tables and Rob was the single amazing chef in a small open kitchen. Combining these two people with a passion for hospitality and food and you get a wonderfully curated local menu, a small upstairs restaurant with naturally elegant dishes, and a upscale but relaxed atmosphere that will give you an experience great enough to question other food in the first place. 5/5 stars. The chalkboard menu changes based on what’s in season and fresh fare that day. From start to finish everything had an amazing flavour profile, was cooked to perfection, and a wonderful wine that made the dishes sing. The desserts are from the Bakery run by day below, so yes, they are literally the icing on the cake. Enjoy one of the best experiences Bath has to offer, and head on up to this Upstairs Restaurant at Landrace!

Came here for a late lunch with my mum. Fantastic menu and the staff were so warm and helpful. I'm still thinking about those cheese fritters! Definitely coming back.

Amazing by all means ... Will surely come again.

Landrace is worth the visit. First and foremost the staff are friendly and helpful. I was eating alone and they made sure I didn’t feel uncomfortable. They recommended a wine which was enjoyable and paired well with the food. I had the salami, cheese fritters (which everyone seems to order) followed by the Cavatelli and mutton ragu which was superb. It is a sharing menu and there was certainly too much food for one person but it would have been the perfect amount for two. I finished on the custard tart with blood orange which rounded the meal perfectly. It was expensive for one but realistically the bill which I have shared in the photos reflects two person order. I would add that the decor is simple and tasteful and you have an open kitchen if you enjoy people watching. It had great ambience. You do access via a spiral staircase through the bakery which adds to the experience. Get booking and enjoy!

Another super dinner at Landrace. Mackerel and Ewes curd starters (both with fresh peas and herbs). Hake with potatoes and butter/leak sauce for mains (the highlight). And finally, custard tart & rhubarb for pudding. All wonderful.

Really stylish, unforced, italian-influenced food. Execution was great and presentation too. Staff are good. It's quite small and relatively crowded but if that puts you off, you're missing out on fine cooking. Cured trout with fennel and blood orange and the brill strongly recommended.

Really excellent meal. Great ambience, the cider selection was unique and very tasty. The food was fantastic and the dishes were all extremely unique. The monkfish was the only one that was less interesting. The artichoke pasta and the blood orange salads were highlights.

Incredible food and lovely team!! Such an amazing hidden gem in Bath

Small but perfectly formed. Locally sourced seasonal food, beautifully cooked. One of Bath's best restaurants. Possibly the best.

A lovely restaurant best described as 'small but perfectly formed'. A great menu with unusual dishes all delightfully served by Jules. So lucky to have such great local talent.

Great food. Basically everything on the menu is good. Wine list is nice too. Good value for money too.

I have been to Upstairs at Landrace about two or three times a month since I was recommended to go a year ago or so. It's unusual to find a place so consistently great. Every time we go, there is a mostly new menu with consistently great dishes. The service is always lovely and you always feel so welcome. It is very clear that they care deeply about what the do. It's truly a gem, and my favourite restaurant in Bath. The venue and its tables may be small, but the experience somehow always seem to exceed expectations. This must be one of the best value for money restaurants I've ever been to.

Excellent seasonal food and service. Would highly recommend

Nice alternative restaurant on top of the bakery. Delicious food, not a big a la carte menu to choose from, but the dishes we got were very good.

Love the food here, we just keep coming back! Lovely staff (Chef Rob and Jules are just so wonderful), lovingly curated and crafted dishes. It's just a really nice, relaxed dining experience - not pretentious, just real. We have only gotten to know the team here because we come so often.

Wonderful little restaurant, run by passionate professionals. Welcoming staff, great food, and brilliant wine selection. Absolute must!

We had the most tremendous evening at Upstairs at Landrace. The wine was beautiful, the food was gorgeous, and the people there were amazing. You felt thoroughly looked after! Particular shout out goes to the incredible sourdough they make - divine.

Great friendly service , simple tasty food and a nice wine list.

Fantastic place if you want to experience the real chef’s home made recipes.

Exceptional food at homely unassuming but friendly atmosphere Real great food experience! 👍🏼👌🏼😍

Visiting from Australia! Fabulous cosy restaurant with great food and service. Special mention of the Parmesan Fritters, this week's pasta dish and the smoothest Panna cotta (not to forget the sour dough bread 😉)

For careful cooking of tip-top ingredients it's hard to beat Landrace. Also their sourdough bread and pastries are among the best in Bath, which is saying something.

I am torn about this place. The dessert (strawberry Panna Cotta) was possibly one of the best I‘ve ever had. The homemade bread was excellent as well. However, the parma fritters and the Angnolotti were not as well balanced taste-wise as I would have liked them to be. The fritters were overly simple and the pasta had bitter and sour notes but not in a pleasant way. It tasted like refinded food but it was not- dare I say it- yummy. The staff was friendly but overall it was a very mixed bag

Dessert is fantastic and amazing, main course is also great, and service is absolutely friendly, only the price is bit high.

Highly recommended! Fantastic food and super friendly staff. Will be back soon.

The food was fantastic! Also has an intimate atmosphere with friendly attentive staff. We were a group of 4 celebrating a birthday, and it was the perfect choice. Highly recommend!

Wonderful food and cozy, calm ambience. Service was great and there was an exciting choice of menu. Those comte fritters were divine! Can’t wait to come back again very soon.

Stunning food, great wine list and impeccable service from friendly and knowledgeable staff. So lucky to have this hidden gem in Bath!

Food is incredible, great service and lovely cosy atmosphere! Best place to eat in bath!
