Frommer's Review

The Royal Crescent contains this city's most stunning collection of Georgian architecture. In a discreet hotel, the unmarked door of the Royal Crescent Hotel leads to this on-site restaurant, Pimpernel's, now hailed as one of the West Country's finest dining choices. With his garden and cozy inside dining room, Chef Steven Blake dazzles the discerning palates of Bath with a series of perfectly prepared and innovative dishes. His contemporary British menu roams the world for inspiration. The setting is romantic, with hand-painted wall coverings and distinctive pottery from Dartington. Through elegant French windows, tables overlook the private gardens. Sterling craftsmanship marks a menu that includes free-range roast chicken with pancetta and spring vegetables or beef filet with cream leeks and a wine-and-shallot jus. Halibut appears with a crab salsa, and is a delight. To finish, opt for a chocolate mousse with a pear sorbet.
