Augustus Restaurant — Restaurant in England

Does not disappoint. We tend to go to Augustus for any special occasions through the year. We love the fact that you can get amazing quality food in a relaxed "Bistro Style" setting, the service is excellent but not pretentious.

The food and wine is special but at very reasonable prices - the set price menu offers particularly good value and an added bonus is that you can mix and match with the A La Carte.

I love the fact that you are served a little bowl of home made roasted seeds to nibble whilst making your choices - they are delicious. Plus you always get a warm bread roll with butter. None of this "sourdough and olive oil" offered and then charged at a ridiculous cost!

On this occasion we had Morteau Sausage, Pumpkin soup, John Dory, Pork Steak and I could not resist adding a Floating Island for desert. A lovely bottle of Montepuiciano complimented our meal and the Espresso coffee is excellent.

Every dish is expertly crafted, however, if you find yourself undecided you will not be disappointed with the fish option - I have had some wonderful fish here - all, as expected perfectly cooked.

We hope to be back before the...

My partner found out about the restaurant today in the morning while she was researching fine dining around the area for a blog at work and she found Augustus and instantly booked a table there to take me. Very spontaneous visit and oh my god I am so glad she took me here. The place is gorgeous, the staff are courteous and very professional. Made us feel like royalty and from what I heard around, they made everybody feel like that which was amazing. Starters were delicious and the food was exceptional but the dessert was out of this world! Our waiters were nice and sparked a conversation asking about us and whether it was our first time here. I am amazed I never heard anything about Augustus until today. After the dinner I said to my partner that this place should have a Michelin Star, which I found out after leaving the door that it does. I was also gobsmacked that we spent so little as I always thought if I ever was to eat at a Mitchelin Star restaurant I would cost and arm and a leg. Thank you very much to everybody, the staff and hats off to the Chef for this experience. Will be...

Quotes of the night included, "excellent seeds" and "meat up to my ankles".

Augustus is a fantastic, elegant restaurant, hidden in the centre of Taunton. This is a high end eating establishment. The food was impeccable, but the service was above and beyond, from taking our coats to topping up our wine.

The food though, it's only a small menu, but they do it well! I had the cheese soufflé which was incredibly creaming inside and cooked to pure perfection, followed by the steak. Now, I'm not really a steak kinda guy, but that steak was delicious, and the duck fat chips were the cherry on top!

We didn't have pudding, but im sure that would of been top quality too. We did witness someone order cheese as an after dinner treat, and the selection was huge, and they bought it out on a tray to serve and slice for you.

Please, do visit...
