No visit to the city of Bath is complete without some retail therapy. However, shopping can be an exhausting business so it is fortunate there are delightful delis and cafes on every street corner.
In Milsom Place, off Milsom Street, the ladies who lunch gather after designer shopping in the exclusive boutiques to exchange tales of brands fought and lost. Le Parisien and Cafe Rene is an informal Continental style cafe in Bath with a pretty courtyard always popular for al fresco dining.
For serious shoppers who want to research their strategy ahead of time, BEST, Bath's Exclusive Shopping Tour is an invaluable "little black book". It lists places that might be missed such as the Great Western Wine Company, one of the UK's leading independent wine merchants. Wines are shipped directly from small independent wineries around the world. The knowledgeable staff are happy to arrange tastings and can help you navigate your way through the list of up to 800 wines, Armagnacs, Champagnes, ports and whiskies.
If you want to sit and enjoy Bath's fine architecture then tucked away under Pulteney Bridge is the Riverside Cafe. Or, enjoy a relaxing coffee or meal at The Circus Cafe and Restaurant, situated between the Royal Crescent and the Circus.
