Fodor's Expert Review The Old Spot

For relaxed but top-notch dining in the heart of Wells, this sociable bistro with wood paneling and creamy white walls hits all the right notes. The modern British and Mediterranean dinner menu varies seasonally, but might include a starter of steamed mussels with cider, thyme, and cream, followed by a main course of roast guinea fowl, cauliflower puree, and Madeira sauce. Set-price two-course lunches are £18.50. Arrive early for a table at the back, where there are views of the cathedral's west front.
