The Elder Restaurant 2-8 South Parade, Bath BA2 4AB

"The Elder in Bath is a true culinary delight, A place where the ambiance is just right, The food is exquisite, a real work of art, And the service is impeccable, from the start. My recommendation is to get the tasting menu in full, Each dish is a masterpiece, an edible jewel, Explore the wine list, you need some good fuel, And by the time you read the menu, you'll start to drool. The location is prime, with a vibe that's sublime, And as you look at the walls, you might spot a serious bull sign, It's a place to indulge, to savor every bite, And you might even think, this is worth a Parliament invite. So don't hesitate, just make a reservation, The Elder is a true destination, Where food, service, and location blend in harmony, A culinary experience, worth every penny."

"Had a lovely meal at Elder this evening. Enjoyed the six course tasting menu which gives you an opportunity to try more of the menu than the a la carte (although smaller portions of each dish). Service was really friendly throughout and provided good explanations of all the dishes. The restaurant is pretty interesting as it has lots of smaller rooms (due to the historic building). We found it a nice atmosphere all round."

"The service was great, accommodating and atmosphere was good but the food was disappointing. Been to many high end restaurants with Michelin stars around the world. I do not mind paying for good food but the food quality/combinations did not reflect the price of the meal. Limited wine selection. Bought pizza after the 7 course meal."

"An amazing game based restaurant! They offer both a tasting menu and a la carte. The service is just amazing and the food is quite special and unique for the area. The venison portion was tasty, and served with the most amazing fresh peas. The old fashioned was one of the best ones I had and the wine recommendations were spot on."

"Bath have rarely new and standing-out restaurants since it already had a lot to offer not just for a fancy night but for street foods or desserts etc, The elder just opened around last year and surprisingly it skipped our attentions for a whole year before we finally visited it tonight. The service is top notch, and it is trying to keep distance from served tables during the pandemic (hopefully soon to be epidemic). The drink menu is a variety of choices, and tasting menu is attractive if you are keen having a big meal. We had the venison for the reason heard they got a park raising the deer and sourced ingredients from beginning to the the table. The meat is well cooked (as we asked) but not dry at all, actually still stay the juicy bits. The apple slice is a natural sweetener and give some inspiration for me to cook in the future. The starter (bream and eel) had fresh taste. The atmosphere is so nice that provides a place for a wild taste. Attentions from the servant is also a bonus. The decor is vivid and carefully designed. Price-wise, it’s for a special night, but definitely worthy every penny."
