A beautiful secluded terrace just off Walcott Street. Out of the breeze, in the sun, this could feel very Mediterranean! The food is fresh, light and delicious. Great service, great coffee.

What a wonderful experience! We stopped in today for a late lunch, and it was divine. The food was as beautiful as it was delicious, and the people were oh-so-kind. LOVE!

Good little spot for breakfast/brunch or lunch. Good variety on the menu and their salad options are better than your normal side salad. Well designed interior, although not a lot of seating, but we visited when it was quiet

Exceptional in every way. It was such a pleasure eating here. The service was excellent and the setting was so lovely. It's dog friendly which was a huge bonus. The food was delicious. We had the courgette herb fritters and smashed avocado cannellini beans on toast - both with added poached eggs. Will go back!

I love this cozy restaurant. I enjoyed breakfast here. It provides exceptional bakery and coffee. It is a lovely place to enjoy a simple and quick meal. They offered brunch before, which was fantastic. i dont have a chance to try the new menu, and will try if i visit it again in the future.

We stopped by The Provenist on our last trip to Bath. The staff were extremely welcoming and the food, incredible. We decided to share a few of the salad options and the quality of everything we ate, was top-tier. I think it says a lot about a place when theor standard salad options are so flavourful, that we were fighting over the last forkful. The very friendly staff also brought over a glass of prosecco each and some smaller side dishes as an additional treat - very kind! I see other reviews suggesting the food is overpriced but if you want quality food and good service you have to pay a bit of a premium... Well worth it in our eyes.

Just off Walcot St, nice quiet setting. Good coffee and selection of breakfasts - we had Turkish eggs, and pancakes - quite tasty but maybe a bit expensive for what they were. Cakes looked excellent.
