Robun

Stylish Japanese Dining in the Heart of Bath

Modern and sleek, Robun is a Japanese restaurant tucked into the heart of Bath’s Georgian streets, just a short walk from many of the city’s concert venues. With its chic interior, low-lit ambiance, and a menu focused on Japanese small plates, robatayaki grill specialities, and creative cocktails, it’s a great option for a pre-show meal or post-show wind-down. The vibe is upscale yet relaxed, making it a great stop whether you're dressed up for a night out or keeping it casual.

Areas for Improvement
