Welcome to Bardacious Bath

“ We popped in during a visit to Bath on a Tuesday lunchtime and had no problem getting a table. We were attracted by the menu, which was just a bit different from the norm. It's styled as a Californian restaurant, with mexican and other influences and the food was very good indeed. We had small plates, quisadillas, tacos and nachos with guacamole. The flavours were great and the food, which is freshly prepared in the open kitchen, was good value too. The drinks menu is extensive and sensibly priced by today's standards. Service could not have been better. We were made extremely welcome and looked after brilliantly. We don't go regularly to Bath, but this appeared to be quite a new restaurant. All I can say, is that it deserves to do well. I'm sure we'll be back. ”

“ Nice and quiet, the meat was a bit dry but there is plenty of sauce and juices to dip it in. Waiter was extremely nice and friendly and efficient! Good quality napkins, exceptional sauces! Would recommend the birria quesadillas ”

“ After walking past Bardacious so many times, we finally decided to give it a go and I’m so glad we did. It was myself, my wife, and our little one (5YO), and right from the start we felt completely welcome. It’s extremely child-friendly (kids even eat for free, which is such a bonus) and the staff went above and beyond to make our daughter’s experience special. Even the chefs got involved, putting on a little show for her; this was such a thoughtful touch that made the visit unforgettable. The food was nothing short of spectacular. When the staff came over to ask about puddings, we actually ended up ordering more food instead because it was just that good! I had triple servings of both the beef and chicken tacos, while my wife couldn’t resist going back for more halloumi tacos. I’m usually a committed meat lover, but I have to say the veggie tacos genuinely rivalled the meat dishes, as they were packed with flavour and cooked perfectly. Drinks were another highlight. The cocktails were tailor-made by the bar staff, balanced beautifully, and honestly some of the best I’ve had in Bath. All at very reasonable prices, especially considering it’s right in the city centre. It’s the kind of place where you can happily come just for drinks, or make a whole evening of it with food. The service was absolutely exemplary. Axel deserves a special mention, as he clearly runs a tight ship but with such a friendly, welcoming vibe. Mike in the kitchen was fantastic with the kids, where he put on little shows and got the kids all smiling etc. You could see how hard all the staff were working, yet they all looked genuinely happy to be there. The whole kitchen had such positive energy that it spread through the entire restaurant. If you’ve walked past Bardacious before and thought it was “just a bar,” please do yourself a favour and step inside. Whether it’s for food, drinks, or both, it’s an absolute gem. After 15 years of eating out in Bath, this has jumped right to the very top of our list of places to eat. 10/10 will be frequently visiting, especially as they do themed events such as their upcoming Salcombe Gin experience. ”
