Imagine taking years of experience at the heights of gourmet cooking, traveling the world and building a pathological desire to find the best freshest ingredients locally. Now put that into running a quintessential bistro in the Somerset market town of Taunton. Augustus is a must for anyone looking for a taste of class. Chef Richard Guest is a scholar of cooking, he is straight talking and has an amazing talent for creating dishes that pluck the culinary heart strings. Like the time I tried his Moules Mariniere et frites, I was transported to my first taste of mussels while staying on the North Sea French coast. His attention to detail with the accompanying array of ingredients also come through strongly whether as a starter (the bread and pate are to die for), a fabulous entree (too many to mention) or as a finishing desert (if you are lucky his rubarb trio is amazing , he is from Yorkshire after all)
What completes the experience is the wine selection and atmosphere. with such expertise and attention to detail, rarely seen in bistros of this size, it is no wonder this is a must for any serious diner.
taunton' best kept secret is no longer a secret.
As I live in Florida now, I can guarantee Augustus has left a long lasting impression and will be first on our plans when we return for a visit!
The best restaurant in Taunton by far. Exquisite food, top class service (Cedric is amazing) and a cheese board that blew us away. Our favourite place by far
Thank you Augustus for an amazing meal last night.
The care and attention which you showed us in creating our vegan meal surpassed all expectations. The food was exquisite both in terms of presentation and taste.
Can't wait to come back! Thank you so much
