We had dinner here and the service and food was excellent. We tried lots of different dishes and they were all great quality. The beef stew was my personal favourite. We did not have room for dessert! The lighting, decoration of the cellar and atmosphere is really well thought out and is very beautiful.

This was a wonderful restaurant made all the more excellent by the fact we got our booking date wrong and came a day early. Despite being obviously busy, they fitted us in anyway. The restaurant has a super atmosphere and the food was excellent. All very punctual (though it took a while to get the bill and pay!), Everything was perfectly done.

I love La Perla. Staff is very friendly and the menu amazing. The food has a lot of nice flavour and is very tasty. The burger was great. A big thank you to tha waiter who surprised us with a Happy birthday plate! Wasnt a order!

Best tapas I have had in a long, long time. Highly recommend the deep fried squid and the king prawns and garlic dish.

We went there on the weekend for our anniversary and it was amazing. The food is great as usual. I was a bit hesitant to eat inside before my second jab but they make it feel so safe. All staffs wear face coverings and the doors were opened. Highly highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing food, very delicious food, everything fantastic...

The best tapas I’ve ever had! A lovely cosy restaurant with amazing tasty food. The staff are friendly & there is a great range of options. Our favourites were the beef stew, patatas bravas and the mini burgers. The only thing to bear in mind is that the staff suggested we needed to order 6 dishes between the two of us, but we weren’t even able to finish the 5 we ordered.

Hidden gem, almost quite literally. Really nice place in a cosy location, good Covid rules in place. This is my first Tapas so cant really compare, I can say it was nice with good service but how it is against other tapas restaurants can only be based on my experience. Its well worth a visit, prices were good and portions were fair.

Generous portions. Lovely atmosphere. Excellent staff. Great wine.

Great food. Friendly service with beautiful and atmospheric surroundings. Highly recommended.

Lovely atmosphere with good food, can’t ask for much more. Authentic Spanish dishes too

Its our Silver wedding anniversary and we really wanted some tapas. La Perla did not disappoint, the food was excellent and so was the service. We really appreciated the anniversary cake, it was lovely

Fantastic, warm and friendly service. We ordered many different tapas dishes and every single one was prepared and ordered with care. Every dish looked and tasted amazing - tacos, fried goat cheese, micro squid, delicious salmon tartare with avocado ice cream. Excellent attention to detail even down to the Gluten Free bread - tasted like good, normal bread.

Off the beaten track, but a gem. You have to go down some steep stone steps to get to it. The food and ambiance is great. Definitely go there again.

Failed to drop into a neighboring 5 star Italian place without a booking. They recommended this instead and my partner and I were so glad they did. This place was a great find, and we’ll definitely be back!

Best tapas Ive eaten anywhere. And amazing wine. Super friendly. Perfect meal. Cant recommended enough. Eat here!

My favourite restaurant in Bath! My friends and I are still talking about it nearly a week later. I cant wait to come again! Thanks for the amazing food!!

We have been to La Perla 3 years ago and decided to come back again. Amazing food and excellent service! If you are in Bath, pay a visit wont regret it!

A Gem in the Town....Amazing Decoration & place! Fantastic People who owned the La Perla, Service & Kichen Team. The most Delicious tapas in Whole Area...by far...!! Music & Ambience in harmony with the environment & with the FOOD...!!!and Last but not Least....Value for Money evening!!!!Thank you guys, keep up with the fabulous work you are doing there..! We ll visit you for sure soon again. Best Regards.

Fantastic tapas restaurant. Great food choices expertly cooked with attentive, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Best meal i’ve ever had enjoyed so much and such a nice atmosphere. we got loads and loved every dish. stayed there for 3 hours(sorry)

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, superb staff who went above and beyond for us. Will definitely be back!! 😍

Great meal with new friends! Would highly recommend. Amazing food, very fairly priced.

Superb, everything on the menu is 10 out of 10.

Best tapas I have ever had, hands down. Wonderful service. Highly recomend.

Absolutely exceptional food and wonderful service! Would happily have indulged until closing!!! Would particularly recommend the chorizo dish and the honey and goats cheese, but the whole meal was fantastic. We loved the sangria, and the atmosphere of the restaurant (we sat inside) was truly brilliant. Thank you!

Nice place. They ran out of a few dishes and were a bit slack in regards to service at the end but overall lovely food and a great atmosphere.

Lovely ambience and food. Mini burgers and tortillas are a must try

Amazing, best tapas I’ve had in a long time and reasonable prices, food is packed with flavour and presented beautifully, possibly the tastiest patatas bravas I’ve ever had. Good choice of drinks with tasty cocktails and quality wines. Topped off by an intimate atmosphere; and speedy and professional service.

Loved our visit to La Perla. The dishes were gorgeous and the service excellent. The restaurant itself is tucked away in the basement - but so atmospheric. Definitely worth a visit …. Ps try their white rioja, it was beautiful.

The food was amazing, service was great & the whole experience was fantastic. One of the best Tapas weve had & wed definately recommend it & well come back.

Was pleasantly impressed to find a region specific tapas restaurant in the heart of Bath.The Valencian cuisine was beautifully presented and seemed a lot lighter than the usual Catalan style often found in the UK.Highlights included patatas bravas with smoked paprika oil instead of the usual stodgy tomato sauce and croquettes as light and fluffy as can be.The decor was strikingly modern and dimly lit and the service was impeccable and efficient. These guys really care about the food and dont hesitate to explain the cooking processes and inspiration for each dish. Will definitely return.

Loved our meal. Great variety of authentic and delicious Spanish dishes. Drinks and desserts were equally as good. Would definitely come back

La Perla was a recommendation from a colleague. Well, I thanked him after this evening for such a fantastic recommendation. We had several items from the dairy free options on the menu. What can I say. Everything was full of flavour, well prepared and well presented. Very good Spanish wine at £30 bottle. Service was excellent. The spacious restaurant is below ground level in what seems to be old cavern archways fitted in galithian style. A really nice dining experience. Thank you La Perla.

Absolutely lovely experience, my go-to restaurant next time I’m in Bath. Fabulous food, friendly and helpful staff, the food is exquisite. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

Amazing food and fantastic staff. Super helpful getting us a table inside after we said we’d sit outside and it rained.

Cozy location! That’s all!We had a reservation but when we arrived the table was not ready.Staff was definitely not welcoming and attentive.We ask for an ice bucket for the bottle of wine 2 times, never arrived.Also, We asked to change one plate because it was no good (the prawns had no flavor) and they did not even ask why. After that, They took 30 minutes to bring the replacement.Moreover, the atmosphere was very crowded; no music and very loud kitchen and guests. We felt they concentrated on quantity over quality.Food is average, very short menu and poor service during all night. No one checked back on our table.

Top quality for taste and presentation in comfortable caverna in atmosphere of ambient mix of authentic and retro-contemporary music by pleasant staff. Likely to return.

Great place to eat out in Bath. Some of the best tapas we have ever had. Reasonably priced. A perfect venue for a special occasion.

I visited this city and i found la perla from reviews food was amazing thanks for chef again service can up little bit overall we can visit again

A selection of amazingly tasty tapas in an interesting venue underneath the streets of bath. I particularly enjoyed the crayfish cocktail. Apart from a sign on the street youd never know this gem existed. I felt it was reasonably priced considering the quality and quantity of food. All too often tapas can be expensive small portions.

Great ambience, impeccable service, great food. For friends or for a date, this is a perfect place to start your night.

Amazing food, drinks and service. All the food was delicious and freshly cooked

Woweee what a good time!! Really nice atmosphere and great staff! Food some of the best ive ever eaten. You will be havin a taste sensation!! Waiter gave us some recommendations and salmon with an avocado ice cream was one of em what a interesting and delicious time it was! Photo from foods perspective, happy customers

Tasty morsels in an interesting underground cave-shaped restaurant. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food and drinks are at a higher price than some other restaurants in the area.

We tried a selection of tapas, sangria and also some desserts. Everything was super tasty and high quality. One of the best espresso martinis I had too, so I think you can’t go wrong with the cocktails either.

Cosy and atmospheric and some lovely dishes.

Incredible food and service, every dish was amazing

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you.

One of the best Tapas I have had in UK!

Food is always really good, staff looked overworked, very stressed and due to this they were a bit short with us.

Nice atmosphere and very tasty food! Also order Sangria, it goes perfectly with the tapas.

Excellent food (5), service:3, overall value for money: 3

Food was great ,staff fab

Excellent food and friendly waiting staff. Very atmospheric restaurant

This is a real hidden gem of a restaurant. Very unassuming outside but really nice inside. We had a lovely warm welcome and excellent service throughout. Best of all was the food. The tapas portions arent huge and we found about 3 dishes per person to be perfect. Absolutely delicious and highly recommended.

I absolutely love tapas and having lived in Spain for 10 years, I was hugely excited for this meal. You need to pay a £5.00 deposit per person when booking, but I understand why - there is limited seating and as they book up so quickly, no shows would just be hugely frustrating.The atmosphere is really special - underground cellars have been converted into a quirky, modern and romantic space. As you head down some steep concrete stairs, it really is a nice surprise to enter into such a cool space - its worth visiting for this alone! Tables are really close together and if you have a big group next to you then its very noisy (not ideal for a romantic and quiet meal). They clearly want to squeeze as many people in as possible. We were lucky enough to have a booth that gave us a bit of space from the large group which was nice as we could easily sit next to each other rather than opposite.The food was really delicious! The menu is not very extensive but I think thats a good thing - I already struggled deciding what I wanted from the menu they had! We shared 8 tapas between us which was more than enough - they all tasted amazing: patatas bravas, pato confitado, estofado de bavette, croquettas de jamon, plato de jamon iberico, manchego and puntillitas. All DELICIOUS and good portion size for tapas. I would definitely come back for the food.The service however was dissapointing at the start. We were served by a waiter who seemed to have some sort of issue with us or was just having an awful day. Initially I thought it was perhaps part of an act i.e. he thought he was being funny...but he didnt get any better. Frustratingly, he was being very friendly with other tables but as soon as he came to us, the smile and interest totally disappeared. Im naturally a polite and sociable person and I was so happy just to be there that I always had a smile on my face - we didnt complain about anything and were nice from the very start so I dont quite understand what the issue was. It really tainted our experience. I had ordered the manchego and jamon to have with our aperetif and I forgot to order bread with it - when I tried to catch his attention we were clearly ignored. When I then ordered bread his reaction was fine. I then realised the bread came without anything (no butter, oil, etc). and I wanted to ask for these things but felt way to afraid he may react annoyed again! I therefore refrained from ordering this until we wanted some more tapas. Our £10 jamon iberico dish was wasted on my feeling nervous and unsettled. I checked with my partner if perhaps it was all in my head but he agreed the waiter was really off with us.Later in the night however, there was a lovely waitress who took over and she was amazing - so friendly and engaged in coversation with us. I finally felt part of the experience and journey but unfortunately too little too late. She did win back the extra star of this review so thank you very much to her for making us feel like happy customers!

Not recommended! The underground cave dining environment is the only highlight of the restaurant. The “signature dish” of theirs, paella of the day is the worst paella I’ve ever eat, with green onion and super wet, sticky and soft rice (costs amazingly £15). The other tapas that they recommended was the beef stew, definitely cooked with pressure cooker since the beef has no flavour at all, the beef soup was salty.不推荐，不好吃，别白交了智商税。

Nah... Floating in grease... Looks good though...

Great food and great staff

Friendly, relaxed service, good food

Delish food, great service, fantastic ambiance!

Absolutely amazing food and drinks in truly beautiful surroundings, a very much recommended restaurant!

Absolutely delicious food, would highly recommend this restaurant for a different take on tapas. They have traditional tapas dishes (Gambas, patatas bravas etc) but also have more refined dishes which are an utter delight. The bacalao (cod) and chicken dishes were out of this world.Saw some comments re: the food being frozen. I can assure you thats not the case as we saw food being freshly prepared in the kitchen from where we were sat.Staff were friendly, the atmosphere is cosy and the location is fab - right by pultney bridge.

Fantastic service. The staff were all friendly and easy to talk to. The food was delicious. Ive never had prawns so well cooked. Honestly, if youre about... go see them! Absolutely worth the visit!

Interesting dishes and great tasting tapas. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic service lovely surroundings fabulous food lovely atmosphere

Great food. Fabulous atmosphere!

Fantastic food! One of the best in Bath, no matter what the cuisine, must-have are lamb chop, grilled pork, crab cocktail, squid / calamari and best of all the octopus, the list goes on.

Fantastic food, really friendly place with lovely staff, so good have re-booked for when back in Bath in a couple of weeks!Although no AC inside, dont worry! The coolness of the vaulted celings made it super comfortable and just an all round great place to eat out (proper tapas - not easy to find always!)

The stew is magic and the service impeccable

10/10. Food was unreal, atmosphere was lovely and service was excellent! Couldnt fault and would massively recommend, every dish was delicious and unique, each presented beautifully! Had a lovely evening.

Nice food and very friendly staff!

Perfect modem tapas!

Exceptional food and service

Delicious food brought out to you the instant its cooked. The staff were all excellent and it felt very Spanish. Very much enjoyed it

Lovely Spanish Tapas, friendly staff, quirky place with a nice atmosphere

Really lovely place for lunch, large tapas menu with great service.

The food was excellent (the salmon tartare was incredible), the service was great and it felt like we were in Menorca. Will definitely be coming back.

Excellent Spanish Tapas Restaurant.

Being spanish and eating in a Spanish restaurant I have to say that in my opinion this is not the quality we have in Spain, but they serve Spanish food... Is not affordable at all.

Phenomenal time after time. Have been to La Perla several times now (visit Bath infrequently) and leave every time thinking it cant get better only to be proven wrong.Astonishingly delicious tapas. Personal highlights are the beef stew and microsquid.Service is always top notch.

Incredible atmosphere and food. Great service. Dont miss the roasted root vegetables in molasses.

Fantastic tapas. Would highly recommend this place. Wonderful setting

Great food and service

The best Tapas Ive ever eaten, in a stunning underground hideaway.

Outstanding place and quite quirky. Family run and you can tell because all the staff are so proud of the food, the place and the service. Its always great to be recognised and adds to the occasion. No hesitation in recommending this place if you want top-quality Spanish food. I cant wait to get back would definitely recommend the round table at the far left hand side of the restaurant Which makes for great discussion.

My husband and I have been to this restaurant twice and it DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. Absolutely amazing food and the staff are always kind and courteous. Id give more stars if I could!

Great food, lovely atmosphere and brilliant staff. I would highly recommend a visit

Absolutely amazing place! Food was the best food I had in Bath. I live in Bath so tried quite a few restaurants! This place is exceptional from customer service to the amazing selection of dishes! Their patatas bravas out of this world!

Average food, over priced.Remember your booking fee when you pay your bill because they will not deduct it and it will not be refunded!Called time and time again, emailed- nothing.Poor service

Great variety, amazing food. Friendly service , beautiful decor! Highly recommended!

Great place - great food - good service

Amazing foodFantastic serviceAttentiveBeautiful dining space, very different but comfortable, relaxing and chilled.

A tear came to my eye eating some of this food. Its kind of pricey, but my god, if I ever go back to Bath Im coming here again. It was the best food Ive had in my life. Im an American though so that may not be saying much lol

La Perla - great food and service. We had 7 dishes between 2 of us and that was just about right. The pork with blue cheese was by far the best tapas Ive ever had - anywhere! Great beer too, i love Mahou and dont get the chance to drink it enough!! Will be back next time we visit Bath.

Amazing tapas Spanish food! Nothing similar in this area, with tasty and non-to-miss Spanish cuisine.!

Great staff, delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. Pricey but that’s expected for tapas.

Brilliant food, the best Spanish food I’ve had, possibly ever, including actually in Spain, we had 9 dishes and we could not fault one, impeccable food and very reasonable portions ..... to anybody who left a bit review, seriously, go home and take some time out tothink about your life! 😂

Had an overall good time, good food, good atmosphere. However it was slightly ruined by one server who seemed rude and judgey
