Restaurants in Bruton

Osip is the strongest case for a special-occasion tasting menu in rural Somerset. Merlin Labron-Johnson's farm-driven eleven-course dinner (£150) and nine-course lunch (£95) are built around ingredients from two organic smallholdings, and the 17th-century coaching inn setting — with four overnight rooms — makes it a genuine countryside destination. Book months ahead; availability is tight.

Briar holds back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand awards for good reason: Sam Lomas's daily-changing sharing plates at Number One Bruton deliver serious seasonal cooking at a £ price point that undercuts every comparable option in town. The relaxed Georgian dining room, warm service, and producer-driven menu make it the easiest recommendation in Bruton for a return visit.

DA COSTA at Hauser & Wirth's Durslade Farm earned a Michelin Plate in 2025, making it the most credentialled Italian table in Somerset. The kitchen's hand-cut pasta and wood-fired cooking justify the £££ price point. Book one to two weeks ahead for weekends; the open kitchen room is lively rather than quiet, which is part of the appeal.
