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!
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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!

Such a lovely hidden gem, food is great, well decorated and the staff is lovely. The interior design reminded us of Japan.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Dessert is fantastic and amazing, main course is also great, and service is absolutely friendly, only the price is bit high.
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.
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.
