Same Same But Different

Very cute atmosphere I had Eggs Picante which were excellent. I’m originally from Louisiana and loved the Tabasco addiction to this dish. It’s cute, accessible and centrally located and had a local vibe! I’d come back here regularly for breakfast if I lived here.

The name of this restaurant caught my eye when I was walking around Bath in the daytime, so I decided to come back around for some dinner. We approached the place… and it was empty except for one table so we thought they were closed. But after checking the hours, which stated it was «Open til late» we went inside.
The place was dimly lit with a laid back, chill atmosphere. Our waitress, who was also supposedly working the bar, took our orders promptly. The menu is written on a chalkboard on the wall. We ordered a diverse servings of small plates. The menu is every changing and every single plate we ordered was delicious and surprisingly filling. Since we were the only people there, our service was very attentive.
I can’t say how Same Same but Different is in the day, but at night it’s a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing without having to worry about if you’re underdressed. Definitely recommend, just confused as to why it was not more full.

Delicious place. The food was amazing. They had the best mushroom soup with brussel sprouts. Their side salad is great, with lots of veggies. Also had a great Med veg sandwich, with great bread, and wonderful chai latte. One of the best places in the UK so far.

Amazing food! I had the beef burger with the fries. My friend had the halloumi mushroom burger. Both were so fantastic! Great service and cute atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

Stopped in for breakfast and enjoyed eggs on toast and the muesli with yogurt and fruit. They also have a nice selection of dishes including English breakfast, Eggs Benedict and Eggs Florentine. Simple, but delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and a great stop for a meal. They also have a nice selection of teas and other drinks.

I love it when Unilocal recommends local restaurants like this one that you wouldn’t ever find if you are doing a quick tour of Bath.
Tucked away on a side street off of George Street, Same Same offers great food, ambiance, and welcoming staff. The restaurant has so much natural lighting that we got to enjoy the summer sun inside without the chill. The restaurant offers sandwiches on its menu and tapas on the chalkboard. We had been traveling since 8 am that morning on a tour so we were quite keen to try the tapas.
We shared 7 tapas between the two of us (and left feeling our jeans slightly too tight). The standouts were the Spanish tortilla, which was warm, soft, and delicate, as well as the Harissa with honey chicken and feta mash. What a great idea — mashed potatoes with feta instead of milk! Can’t wait to try this at home. We loved these dishes so much we ordered them again.
Stop by, and you won’t be disappointed!

Someone in a shop recommended that we eat lunch here, and I’m so glad they did! It’s a cute little restaurant, looks almost like a café. A handful of tables, menu on a chalkboard, very relaxed atmosphere. They have a great menu of small plates, large plates, and sandwiches, each sounding more tempting than the last. My fiancé and I shared the sausages over lentils, cannellini beans, and chorizo, and the beef brisket sandwich with rocket, caramelized onions, and tomato. Everything was just fantastic. The sausages were a hit around the table — just delicious, a homey, hearty dish that was outstanding on a cold and drizzly day. We want to cook this dish at home! The beef brisket was incredibly tender, though the bread got soggy fast. I also got a little side salad that was full of veggies, a nice treat since side salads can be pretty disappointing sometimes.
Props to the servers who carry the food up and down a spiral staircase from the kitchen! We all loved our meal and would highly recommend this place to anybody seeking great, inspired food in Bath.

Same Same is a real treat — the chilled out and spacious atmosphere feels like you are at your own breakfast table with mates; the unlimited Americanos can be abused to pick you up after far too few hours of sleep on a Saturday night; the tea comes in cool little pots and the milk in quirky mini milk bottles. Then, the lines of spirits behind the counter pull you back from wonderland to remind you the sins of last night — I need more coffee.
Looking around there’s the young family doing well to keep the shriek of babies from our fragile ears, the studying student — notes strewn over the table — making you feel both guilty and inspired, the readaholic, the various couples, and us — the casualties of the night before. Far from same same really anyone could walk through the door and feel right at home.
Oh and the breakfast — a solid full english with black pudding. It’s great. Why would you go for anything else?

Went for dinner — so amazing! It is small, kind of tucked away but well worth it. The staff are very attentive and the food is so yummy! Try the Ox Tail — it is unique but very tasty. My friend had the portabello burger and she said it was amazing!

On a hunt to find a ‘non-​chain’ restaurant for a relaxed lunch we found Same Same But Different tucked away off the main shopping parade in Bath.
It was really chilled out in this café/​restaurant and filled with all different types of people. The staff were really smiley and friendly.
The food choices were extensive, you could have just a coffee, tapas, sandwiches or something more substantial.
I had the kedgeree main which was very tasty and fresh. My boyfriend had the steak brisket sandwich (bit messy but lush) with a side of chips… this was a big man portion! We had soft drinks and the total came to less than £25. Bargain!
I would have loved to try the desert menu but I was to full so next time! The grilled banana bread with caramelised bananas and coconut crème fraîche sounded yum!

I wandered into this homey place today for a late lunch, and tried their slow overnight cooked brisket sandwich on a baguette with Carmelized onions. In a word, yum. If I lived in Bath this would be a regular haunt for me.

Cute little café, excellent service. Had a delicious organic hot chocolate, and banoffee pie. I will go back.

YUMMY BREAKFASTS — lots of British classics done with a little twist! Attentive staff. Perfect portion sizes. Cozy décor! This is the type of place that if I lived in Bath, I would go here all the time.

Good coffee, especially if you’re looking for somewhere that’s non-​chainy (i.e. not Starbucks, Costa etc), with a bit of atmosphere and some watch-​the-​world-​go-​by charm.

Hurrying through Bath in an attempt to find respite from the torrential rain, we were desperately seeking a cosy café in which to while away a few hours. Although our clothes were getting steadily wetter, we were determined that this café would not be a chain, it would be a little bit interesting, it would add something to our Bath experience.
Lucky us, we stumbled upon Same Same But Different. A tastefully decorated café with accommodating purple walls and wacky abstract paintings, cosy alcoves in which to sit and truly excellent coffee.
Although we only stopped for our coffees (I really can’t stress how excellent they were enough), the menu displayed proudly on the wall almost drew me away from the restaurant reservation we had made elsewhere for the evening.
Relaxed and cosy by day, with good coffee, good food, good art and good music, Same Same But Different goes the extra mile and morphs into a casual restaurant by night. Lit by candles and serving up wholesome, hearty but flavoursome food, there’s also a full bar to keep you going all night long. Why, after all, would you ever leave?

Really glad we came across this little gem — We went for dinner on a saturday night as we were staying at the Travelodge opposite and we didn’t want to go to any of the nearby chains you get everywhere. This place was slightly hidden up a small road but was packed when we got there, we had a drink (a nice white rioja) and olives outside and waited about 20 mins before we moved inside. It has all it’s menu on a 8 foot blackboard, with tapas (about 9 or 10 choices) and main dishes, puddings and sides. We had 5 tapas between us which came on a big platter dish, really beautiful and colourful. we were tempted to go for the mains, as the guys risotto looked yummy, but felt like nibbling. tapas was gorgeous, all homemade and full of flavour. finished the lot although we were stuffed. bit annoyed as i was hoping to try the choc-​coffee fondant! The meal came to about £35 — really reasonable. Went back in the morning for breakfast as T-​Lodge don’t do any. The same 2 girls were working and remembered us (maybe coz we left a nice tip!) — breakfast was delish too — had to wait about 15 mins for our cooked brekkie but I would definitely rather wait and have a breakfast that’s cooked to order! Really lovely independent place, great intimate atmosphere and welcoming, attentive service. Spot on! We’ll be back!
