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.
- 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 !
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!
