Welcome to Bartellas

We are open seven days a week, every day of the year, for lunch and dinner. Our tables are clothed and sensibly spaced, with a full continental style of service from our waiters and waitresses.

When the weather allows there is plenty of seating out on the south-facing terraces, and comfort-cooled seating in The Orangery. Our cocktail lounge is there for diners. Bookings are preferred, especially at busy times, but we are always happy to see walk-ins when we have space.
