Where to Eat & Drink in Crescent, Bath 2026

Olé Tapas sits at the top right now. It's climbed to #1 this month, which tells you something about what people are after. You'll get Spanish small plates done properly and a room that's got energy to it, decent enough for an evening if you're after something straightforward.

For drinks, Bath Cider House knows what it's doing with ciders, and the place won't have you fighting for breathing room. The Pig & Fiddle pulls a decent pint if you're after something more straightforward, though you'll be elbowing through crowds to get to the bar.

Crescent's got range, which sounds promising but mostly isn't. You'll stumble past Spanish tapas at Olé Tapas, Vietnamese at Noya's Kitchen, and Indian spots at Bandook and Chai Walla. There's seafood at The Scallop Shell and pizza at The Oven, but having options doesn't mean they're worth your money or your evening. Walk 5 minutes north instead. You'll eat better and spend less doing it.

Yes, Crescent has some good options for a date night. Raphael Restaurant offers a modern European menu in a comfortable setting. The Circus Restaurant provides a more refined European experience, while Clayton's Kitchen is another excellent choice for a special evening out.

For good value, Chai Walla is hard to beat for a quick, tasty Indian street food fix, with items typically under £10. The Oven also offers reliable pizza at reasonable prices, usually around £12-£18 for a large pie.
