The Coconut Tree Bath

You're walking down Broad Street past the usual Bath suspects when you spot The Coconut Tree tucked in amongst the Georgian facades. Inside, it's warm and unpretentious—the sort of place where locals outnumber tourists and everyone's too busy demolishing their plates to bother with their phones. The menu reads like a proper Sri Lankan kitchen's greatest hits: kottu roti that's chopped fresh in front of you, lamprais that's rich and layered, and curries that don't pull punches with their spice. Service is genuinely attentive without being fussy, and at these prices, you're getting proper value. This is the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that makes you actually want to eat in Bath rather than just pass through it.
