OAK Restaurant

I was revisiting an old “favourite” vegetarian restaurant now in completely different ownership from my student days but still a haven for original vegetarian food served with style and passion and showcasing local ingredients as a central theme, but with unique and delicious flavours and twists. I enjoyed the variety so much that I dined at “The Oak” for four days running to be able to sample the menu in its full entirety. The standout dishes off the current menu for me were: the potato terrine, the carrot pâté, the middle beetroot, the chocolate tart, and the pistachio semifreddo. Thank you to the lovely waiting staff and chefs for your knowledge, passion and skill. With much gratitude. 🙏🏼 I highly recommend anyone to dine here when visiting the city of Bath.

Lovely room, nice service. Sadly the food was really not good. The ravioli with smoked potato was tough, and the smokyness a weird flavour. The ricotta gnudi was very salty and sitting in a pond of melted butter, couldn’t eat more than a few bites. These two dishes plus a leaf salad was over £40 - wouldn't mind if it were good, but I left hungry. If you’re giving it a go then definitely order bread - hopefully thats a safe bet in case you also dislike the food.

We went to Oak for a treat. Nice to have a place which is vegetarian/vegan. Lovely space with nice dried flower arrangements. Friendly young service, love the informal style. Our dishes were tasty with delicate flavours, if you like a flavour bomb you would possibly be disappointed. We really loved the celeriac schnitzel sandwich a kind of fish fingers sandwich and the pickled veg with cashew cream. Would go again.

Simply outstanding vegetarian food. I'm a meat eater, but my partner is vegetarian and I'd heard it's the kind of place that carnivores love. They were right, this is superbly cooked and generous sharing plates of vegetarian food. 2-3 plates per person recommended (we split the difference with five between two, and would have been fine with four or six). The bread is a huge highlight, so make sure you opt for the aubergine foccacia, and the hummus with homemade flatbread. We'll definitely be back!

I thought the place looked cute inside. However the food was some what lacking. Most of the dishes were overly salty and creamy. It did not hit the spot in terms of taste or how it was cooked. The hummus was yummy though. I feel the ethos of the restaurant is great, but some more creativity in terms of flavour and pairings as well as cooking things better, would make this place a winner. I found the portions to be big for sharing so that was great. I went because it was on the Michelin guide, so I'm slightly miffed that the main flavour was salt. Hope they can improve.

Why can’t I find the 6th star anywhere??? This restaurant is a real jewel! 💎 the food, the ambience and the stuff. Everything was just perfect. 😍 thanks a lot for making our last evening on a wonderful UK trip so memorable!! Look at the pictures! What else should I say?

One of my favorite spots in Bath: lovely atmosphere, attentive service, varied and thoughtfully crafted menu based on excellent seasonal ingredients. A perfect little gem—I stayed in Bath for a week and went there three times! Greetings from Italy :)

We went for a birthday celebration. Wonderful food and service. Really enjoyed the small plates and house made bread. The menu is very nicely designed and packs a lot of flavour. All ingredients are locally grown and sourced ethically which is really wholesome. Deserts were also very nice. Highly recommended!
