OAK Restaurant

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!

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.

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!

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 :)

An incredible feast! While we don’t typically seek out veggie-only menus, this one is a must try for anyone visiting Bath. The food, the wine, the service, the execution…simply marvelous. A la carte is available if you wish, though if you have time I recommend going for the tasting menu + wine pairing. The wines complement each dish perfectly and each dish was deeelicious. Give yourself a bit of time to get through them all! Can’t wait to get back here.

I took my veggie boyfriend out to OAK for a special meal, and while the concept of a vegetarian-only restaurant is fantastic, there were a few things that didn’t quite meet expectations. We opted for the tasting menu, which promised an exciting variety of flavors, but I feel that OAK doesn’t quite live up to its premium pricing. The space is very intimate, with only 10 tables spread across two small floors. For some, the coziness might be appealing, but we found it a bit cramped. Our table had a severe wobble, which was more than just a small inconvenience, and I would strongly recommend that they inspect all tables for stability. Considering OAK charges premium prices for its dishes, it’s disappointing to encounter such basic issues like uncomfortable chairs and a table that detracted from the overall experience. As for the food, the tasting menu started with spiced nuts that were pleasant, with a honeyed quality that was quite nice. However, the fermented vegetables that followed were tough to cut and had a very sour flavor that didn’t quite hit the mark for us. The soup was next, and it had a lovely nutty base with sweet red onion on top, which added a nice contrast to the richness. The hummus had oil on top and tasted quite fatty—perhaps too much so—and I thought a touch of honey could have really balanced it out. The focaccia, however, was a highlight – it was fresh, flavorful, and comforting, a perfect bread to accompany the meal. The fried sprouting broccoli was pleasant but could have used more seasoning. While it was well-cooked, the lack of salt made it feel a bit underwhelming compared to the other dishes. The Jerusalem artichoke in white sauce was decent but served too cold for my liking, which somewhat dampened the overall experience. The ravioli was one of the standout dishes – the cheese and smoky flavors were perfectly balanced, and it was absolutely delicious. If there had been more of it, I would have been thrilled. The portion size was just right for the tasting menu, but I couldn’t help but wish for a bit more of that flavor-packed ravioli. For dessert, we had the dark chocolate tart, which was rich and indulgent but also quite salty—so much so that it became a bit overwhelming for me. I understand that some might enjoy the contrast, but it was a bit too much on the salt side for my personal taste. The sourdough ice cream that accompanied it was an interesting, experimental choice, but for me, it didn’t quite hit the mark. It tasted more like rice pudding than ice cream, and the texture, with the breadcrumbs, was not something I was fond of. It’s a unique idea, but it didn’t quite come together in a way that was pleasant for me. My boyfriend had the wine pairing to accompany the tasting menu, and I have to say the waiter was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines. He was able to provide great insights into each selection, which really enhanced the overall experience.

Divine food and great atmosphere. Had the tasting menu with the wine pairing. Lovely and helpful staff. The place to eat in Bath.
