"Recently, my companions and I took a trip to Bath for the day. Well, maybe calling it a day trip is a bit of an exaggeration - we simply enjoyed some food, wandered around a few shops, grabbed a coffee, bought some cheese, and then headed back home. It was pretty much the usual routine for my so-called "day trips". The main reason for our visit to Bath was to try out Chris Staines's restaurant, Allium Brasserie. Staines previously worked at Foliage in the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, where he earned a Michelin star for seven years before Heston's Dinner took over. Foliage was fantastic, so it's no surprise that Allium is too. Staines has a knack for creating visually stunning dishes that blend classic techniques with unique ingredients. Plus, the lunch and early evening menus are priced reasonably. Situated in the Abbey Hotel in the heart of town, Allium's dining room has the potential to be quite charming."
