Fodor's Expert Review Pump Room
$$$$
Bath and the Cotswolds
British
The 18th-century Pump Room, with views over the Roman baths, serves morning coffee, lunches, and afternoon tea, to music by a pianist or string trio who play every day. The stately setting is the selling point rather than the food, but do sample the West Country cheese board and the house-made cakes and pastries. Light or full lunches are on offer, and the restaurant is open for dinners in summer, serving a set menu (two courses for £36, three courses for £45). Be prepared to wait in line for a table during the day.
