Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Bolton

Focaccia with Maple butter and baked Brie (plant based) with crostini were excellent starters Dinner was Rigate Gigi, Mushroom Truffle Agnolotti and vegan Salmon (3 ppl) All dishes were fantastic Dessert was the Chocolate Orange cake which was delicious Will definitely be back 😀👍

It was perfect - they could do a bit of work on the entrance when you first walk in...it looks a bit dingy, industrial with an old looking elevator going up but as the doors open you are pleasantly surprised. They didn't have room at the bar and seated us against the window - which was OK too. Once we got to the main dining table, it was so nice! A very quaint comfortable and cozy environment. It was our engagement anniversary and there was a personalized note left for us at the table congratulating us, it was such a sweet gesture <3 Each food item was like a party in my mouth! With amazing fresh rich taste of all different types of flavours! We loved everything we ate. It was so beautifully presented as well, there was some items you just wanted to look at not and eat! The service was beautiful, it just flowed so smoothly, with each server explaining properly what was in each course. I think we had like 11 courses....they just kept coming! We loved every moment of it. This restaurant truly deserves a 2 Michelin rating. Looking forward to coming back :)

Great place for a Group- food was delicious served was great. Would go back.

I've been a fan of Bellona since their Jane location opened but it was a bit far for me. So I was thrilled when they announced their new College location. This place is a true gem, offering exceptional food, friendly service, and a welcoming ambiance. Whether you're a plant-based or not, the menu has something for everyone and it is delicious. The dishes are beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly and always goes the extra mile to ensure a delightful dining experience. I've already visited the College location twice and I will definitely be back. I can confidently recommend Bellona to anyone looking for an amazing meal.

First, service was super relaxed and friendly, and I got some great recommendations. Second (and more importantly) the food was great! Highly recommend the leeks. Really enjoyed the bar seating - I love watching the cooks and got to ask some questions about preparation.
