Same-Same But Different has been open for the best part of a decade and has an almost cult following amongst Bath’s food fans. Situated on Bartlett Street, Same-Same boasts a lovely glass exterior and alfresco tables for summertime people-watching. Inside, the theme is boho-chic, with aubergine walls, huge oil paintings, distressed wooden floors and a huge blackboard menu.
Open from 8am most mornings, Same-Same serves cooked-to-order breakfasts, including scrambled eggs and home-cured salmon (£5.95). At lunchtime, a clipboard gourmet sandwich menu is available, as well as tapas and main courses. As day turns to night, the candles are lit, the lights are dimmed, and atmospheric Latino music fills the room. Tapas delights such as chorizo glazed in cider with green beans and almonds (£5) and traditional Spanish tortilla with homemade garlic mayo (£4) can be ordered either as starters or platters. Mains such as braised pork belly with chorizo lentils and celeriac mash (£10) and parsnip risotto with caramelised hazelnuts (£8.50) are delicious and very reasonably priced. Puddings are equally enjoyable and inventive – the apricot bread-and-butter pudding with Earl Grey tea cream (£5) is a favourite. Fully licensed, with a small but perfectly formed wine list, Same-Same’s relaxed, Mediterranean atmosphere truly offers something delightfully different.
