The Olive Tree restaurant in Bath is in a basement on Russell Street. That sounds eerie, but actually, this hidden-away restaurant has a fine provenance, on at least two counts.
It’s an easy yet slightly poised ambiance at The Olive Tree restaurant. Diners talk in hushed voices while their facial grimaces show reverence and subdued delight. Lighting is dimmed, walls are in a shade of olive with simple artwork, with a feature wall on one side, floors and tables are of wood, with chairs with black or olive green upholstery.
Ambience At The Olive Tree Restaurant
Small bells hang on the wall perhaps in homage to the Abbey bells, behind a white reception while the rest of the room has funky artworks, as does most of the hotel. Sometimes it’s Regency-style, sometimes faces obscured by a primary colour and bizarrely even animals dressed in military costumes. In much of the communal area, carpets are decorated with butterflies; sometimes there are prints and maps. A lot is going on.

The biggest mistake you can make in architecture photos is to snap and go, with little planning or forethought. Take your time and exercise your creative grey cells.
As we yearn to reconnect with friends, family, and the world at large, I think that what we’ve gone through has also given many of us a chance to reflect on all the things we took for granted: the outdoors, community, neighborhood restaurants, and the arts.
From flouting rules and refusing to wear a mask to hosting parties, coughing on others, and just generally being selfish, the pandemic has shown us that the world is filled with more assholes than we thought. But, despite all of that, when it comes to the future of travel, I think the pandemic is going to make it better.
