Heralded by The Independent as a ‘design destination’ with stylish places to eat, Cheltenham is home to a plethora of restaurants to suit any taste and budget. From our two Michelin Star restaurant – Le Champignon Sauvage – to our extensive list of independent eateries and big name brands, you can easily eat your way around Cheltenham, taking in the gastronomic delights that’ll tickle your tastebuds.
Pop out for breakfast, break up your exploration of the town with a quick bite or a leisurely lunch, or unwind in the evening; we’ve got just the place for it!
Aside from Michelin Star; keen foodies can take advantage of a number of highly-acclaimed fine dining hotspots; from former Masterchef Finalist Andrew Kojima comes Koj offering sushi-free Japanese cuisine on Cheltenham’s Regent Street, while The White Spoon – British cuisine is owned and run by Chris White, former chef with Heston Blumenthal’s Fat Duck Group. Other firm foodie favourites include Purslane (fish restaurant), Lumiere (French cuisine), L’Artisan (French cuisine), Prithvi (Indian cuisine), The Ivy Brasserie and The Daffodil, many of which are award winning, and included in directories such as the Good Food Guide, Harden's and The Michelin Guide too.
For those who want to eat like a local, you cannot miss our extensive list of independent restaurants, from Bar & Wok, who grow all the ingredients for their noodle dishes on their organic farm; to Garlic & Ginger where you can enjoy a traditional Korean barbeque at your table. The County Kitchen does budget-friendly, delicious-tasting home cooked food, while The Coconut Tree serves exceptional Sri Lankan cuisine, much of which happens to be vegan! Wakame (Japanese), Revival Café (famous for its grill), The Feathered Fish (fish restaurant), Fat Toni’s (the best pizza in town), Marinades (Caribbean) and many more, are also worth a visit.
