The story

Montagu's Mews in Bath – Michelin Recommended Modern Cuisine at the Royal Crescent

A Setting Steeped in History

Montagu's Mews sits at the heart of The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa, a landmark Georgian building that has defined Bath’s skyline since 1775. The restaurant occupies the hotel’s ground floor, with views over the tranquil walled gardens and a sun-drenched terrace that invites alfresco dining when the weather allows. The space itself is stylishly snug, with a relaxed atmosphere that puts comfort first – there is no formal dress code, just the promise of an unhurried, memorable meal.

Modern Cuisine, Locally Sourced

Head Chef Martin Blake leads the kitchen team, crafting a menu that celebrates the best of locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. The modern cuisine here is described as “contemporary dining” – dishes that are carefully curated to elevate classic flavours without pretension. Guests can choose from a spring à la carte menu for lunch or dinner, or opt for the six-course tasting dinner, which runs from 6pm to 9pm. Main courses start at £15 for lunch and £28 for dinner, making the restaurant accessible for both a casual bite and a special occasion.

Recognition That Speaks for Itself

Montagu's Mews holds three AA Rosettes and has earned a place in the Michelin Guide as a Recommended restaurant – a testament to the consistency and quality of the cooking. The recognition is woven into the dining experience: every plate reflects the kitchen’s passion for precision and provenance, whether it’s a perfectly poached egg at breakfast or a complex tasting menu paired with Taittinger Champagne.

More Than a Meal

Beyond the dining room, the bar offers crafted local botanicals, small-batch spirits and an imaginatively curated wine list. The cocktail bar beckons for a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap, while the terrace – complete with cantilever parasols and heaters – extends the experience outdoors. Afternoon tea is another highlight, with sweet and savoury treats served alongside tea or bubbles. For those seeking a truly immersive experience, the “Indulge Your Senses” package combines a two-night stay with a six-course tasting menu and classic afternoon tea.

Montagu's Mews is a place where the grandeur of Bath’s architectural heritage meets the warmth of genuine hospitality – and where the food, simply put, is the star.
