Brilliant experience - highly recommend.
I met my mum for dinner at La Perla before going to the theatre. Such a great and quirky setting - all of the staff were very helpful and charming. We just had 5 tapas dishes between us as we were in a rush to get to the theatre - each was delicious and full of flavour.
The house wine was also really good value and VERY drinkable!

Firstly, what a great meal overall. We were served by a fantastic duo who were conscientious and efficient. The wine was lovely, and most importantly the best tapas I have had in a long time, better than most of the food I had in Spain over the summer I'd go as far as to say! I will absolutely be returning very soon :)

First table lived up to its name, our drinks had arrived and our food order placed before the next diners were seated. Both our charming waitress and the softly spoken but assured owner made our visit an absolute pleasure. The food was outstanding, with some unique perspectives and wonderful examples of Spanish tapas. We’ll definitely go again.

A nice pleasant interior with a friendly stuff. After we have had our cocktails (very tasty!!!) we had to choose from a long menu of small dishes to share. We began with the gazpacho soup which was awesome; tomato & beetroot combination served with small cute flowers and garlic croutons; amazing! After that, we went wild and ordered so many dishes, at the end we couldn't find space for the dessert (try the king fish!). But who can resist to a chocolate paradise, four different flavours and textures, felt like a volcano explosion in our mouth! The mastiha sorbet was nice too. Toilets are clean and with a contemporary design. Would definitely visit that place again.

Anna Kinnersley - dined at La Perla on 21 May 2019
We had a great time at La Perla, the food was fantastic: 100% the best Spanish tapas in Bath. The staff were great too, and very attentive. Would thoroughly recommend to everyone!
Sophie Fields - dined at La Perla on 13 May 2019
Food was great, however we had a vegan in our party and there was no indication on the menu next to the dishes that would indicate these were vegan - they only had labels for vegetarians and dairy free. The selection for vegans was non existent apart from gazpacho soup and plain salad and bread. The rest of the party enjoyed all the dishes - queso de cabra (baked goats cheese) was definitely the best.
Aiste Senulyte - dined at La Perla on 8 May 2019
Food was good but tapas were too small, and too expensive. Very good service and staff were friendly and attentive.

Tim Syrett - dined at La Perla on 8 February 2019
90 percent of the food was amazing and had a lovely bottle of wine.
Service was very good as well.
We booked for 6pm and arrived at 5.50pm to have a drink before only to be told the restaurant would open at 6, a little bit odd but would highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food, excellent service and amazing setting. Really enjoyed the atmosphere at this venue. You can tell there is a real thought process and flavours with these tapas. Would highly recommend.
Liam Moloney - dined at La Perla on 14 September 2018
Ate here early on a Friday night and had a fabulous experience. Due to it being so early the service was fast as there was hardly anyone else there and the food comes quickly and is cooked to perfection. We chose to have a bottle of wine, croquetas, scallops, gambas, sabrosada miniburgers, bread selection, manchego cheese and pork! Excellent value for money all around and would highly recommend using first table and also going to La Perla where the staff is friendly and the food is superb.
Alexandra Davidson - dined at La Perla on 7 September 2018
Fantastic experience with wonderful staff and out of this world tapas. Definitely recommend!!!!
Harriet AC - dined at La Perla on 26 August 2018
The food was great with some “different” dishes on offer such as duck in Pedro ximenez sauce and the regular tapas like tortilla well cooked and beautifully presented. Good welcome and ambience even though we were there early in the evening.
Joanne Coates - dined at La Perla on 24 August 2018
Good job the friendly and efficient waiter advised us against ordering too many tapas dishes. We would have been just too full! Generous dishes, lovely tasty food and excellent service all made this a great dining experience. Thank you.
