Jamie's Italian Restaurant Bath - Review


Jamie's Italian Bath - rating
I spend so much time in restaurants around the world that I now blog on my experiences.

My wife and I visited Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Bath and enjoyed a wonderful evening out.

The staff were all young, motivated, enthusiastic and helpful and the food wonderful.

We had seen the long queues throughout the day, so arrived early that evening.
We were warmly welcomed and told that there would be a short wait and given a small gadget that would buzz when our table was ready. While we were waiting we had a look at the menu and were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices.

We were soon seated and greeted by a wonderful waiter who told us about the specials and had our mouths watering.
I ordered the crab spaghetti and my wife the carbonara. The food was fresh, tasty and really reasonably priced (both around £10). We followed this with the lemon tart and banana and chocolate brownie which was wonderful.

The atmosphere was vibey, the staff efficient and overall an excellent evening and meal was enjoyed by my wife and I.

Chang Mai, Thailand - a must see....

In January I was in Thailand again and this time spoke in Chang Mai. It was my first trip to this wonderful city which has a striking mountain backdrop, over 300 temples and a quaint historical aura. It's also a modern, friendly, internationally-flavoured city with much to offer - food, accommodation and shopping are all top quality and cheap, and the nights are relatively cool.

Thailand's second-largest city and the gateway to the country's north was founded in 1296. You can still see the moat that encircled the original city. Doi Suthep, topped by one of Thailand's holiest wats, rises behind the city, providing a dramatic backdrop and fine views of the city. As usual, I took some time to visit the Elephant sanctuaries and I hired a longtail boat and travelled up on the rivers, stopping at a local farmer for a breakfast of fresh fruits, wonderful.....


This is definitely a place to put on your travel itinerary.
