Cafe del Art in Cheltenham

We have been to this café a couple of times. We have also been to other restaurants in the area for breakfast and have found this the best of them. Great service and very good food. We will only go to this café for breakfast. We do not go out at night so we can not give a rating for other menus, but if the quality of the breakfast is a mark than we would definitely recommend this for visitors to the Montpellier area of Cheltenham.

Visiting the area and spent the day in Cheltenham. Found this cafe visited today with four adults. Great friendly service and the food was excellent quality and price ! Thank you we will return soon

We live nearby and walk past frequently, and always receive a hello from the friendly owners. We have eaten there many times and it is consistently good, fresh food. The scones are delicious and the cakes are heavenly! Especially the cheesecake, which I normally don't like. But theirs is not too sweet and he makes really yummy flavors (try the orange, with a dollop of clotted cream...amazing!). We usually go for brunch or lunch, and the food is homey in the best way, and a good value for the price. My husband likes their omelets and I often enjoy one of their several flavors of quiche. When we started coming with our young daughter, they bought highchairs to accommodate even the youngest guests. It's a true neighborhood cafe, with a devoted following of regulars.

Excellent venue for lunch, varied menu including some interesting Polish beers. Attentive service from the staff and the food was very good - definitely worth considering if you are in Cheltenham

Paramos para tomar un café y un bollo (5 libras. 00)Buen servicio y agradable y limpia wc.Sin embargo, el director nos indicó que el menú del almuerzo, pero era bastante desagradable cuandole dije que ya había reservado en otro sitio. Yo estando en servicio al cliente,este no es el camino para un negocio exitoso

We came across this little cafe on our walk around Cheltenham wanting a quick easy bit to eat. Lovely decor reminiscent of a bygone era. The food was good. The service was good. Reasonably priced.

Habíamos visitado este café para el té de la tarde. Claramente, la pastelería vale la pena ir. Parece que en esta ocasión nos extendimos los recursos de la cafetería para un rápido almuerzo el sábado. No fue el caso de que el establecimiento estaba activa y nos sentimos como si tuviéramos molestados los propietarios. Mi solicitud de un cerveza sin alcohol se encontraron con una abrupta no. Claramente no robot era ese día. Nuestros aperitivos, cuando por fin llegaron, eran pasables, aunque uno se pregunta si habían sido tumbados en espera. …mucha variedad en Montpellier. Quizás mejor ir a otro establecimiento.

A menudo a la zona de Montpellier para café y pensamos en probar el café del arte, como un cambio en nuestros lugares habituales. No molestes más! Nosotros sólo queríamos dos cafés y idealmente un croissant. El propietario no era muy acogedor y encontré como bastante brusco, como si él no podía ser molestado con nosotros. Mi esposa preguntó si él tenía un cruasán y no era simplemente dijeron no hay sugerencia de que podría haber (me pareció que eran supuestamente una panadería/pastelería? ). En nuestra sugerencia que hizo su unas tostadas, pero parecía un supermercado de pan rebanado y sólo con un poco de mantequilla y tardaban años en llegar. La verdad es que el joven de al lado estaban tomando el desayuno y tenía buena pinta. Sorprendió encontrar dos cafés y una porción de costo £7 tostadas. 80! Simplemente no es una buena experiencia y un montón de otros lugares más amable cerca.

Have been several times and love the place each time. Delightful Polish cafe..superb food, great atmosphere and staff always attentive and welcoming. Highly recommended..just drop in you won't regret it.

We went mid morning .Wonderful pastries made by the Polish proprietor, serves great coffee. Tucked away in the Montpelier district of Cheltenham. Lunch menu looked good too. Suitable for disabled and wheelchair access

The food on the menu is freshly cooked and our choice tasted delicious. The meal was accompanied with a fabulous wine. The puddings are a sight to behold and taste amazing. The husband and wife proprietors are very hospitable and the service is impeccable. If you are in the area, do go and have anything from a coffee with a 'can't resist' cake to a full blown meal. Doubt you will be disappointed! I can't wait to go back to tackle the mountain of Lemon Meringue, next time I visit wonderful Cheltenham.

We asked Café del Art to make a cake for my daughters birthday. They were very helpful and when we came to pick up the cake and two other puddings we were amazed! They were huge and fantastic and also tasted delicious. They really helped with any dietary requirements we had too. Can't recommend this place strongly enough if you want a cake made.

First of all, it is open on a Sunday!It's a cosy Polish cafe tucked away in Montpellier Courtyard. Tables inside & outside. The couple who run it are extremely friendly & there's a relaxed atmosphere about it.We opted for the meat omelette (crammed full with chicken, bacon & cheese, served with a side salad - really tasty & the salmon & dill quiche - very nice, yet I'd have liked a little more flavour, more dill & more cheese. Will probably return to try out some of the cakes & Polish specialities.

Pork Schnitzel with a Polish beer - freshly made, very tasty and good value, IMO. A charming cafe, simply furnished with nice atmosphere. I've enjoyed the Goulash here too - equally as good. Always worth the visit.

A lovely find. The owners are the most delightful couple who manage to combine professionalism while remembering people from previous visits and chatting without being intrusive. The food is always interesting, freshly cooked and the deserts are delicious - but not slimming!Good coffee too. Lunch is a delight, the schnitzles are awesome!

We first stumbled across Cafe del Art whilst on a shopping trip a couple of weeks ago, and made a return visit today.It is a true gem that is tucked away just off Montpellier Street. The welcome is very warm, service and food is excellent with daily specials. Today I tried the schnitzel which was freshly cooked and delicious. As we didn't have room for dessert we brought home some lemon meringue pie, which is the best one we've ever tasted. We will certainly be returning and would like to try the evening menu.

Lovely authentic food. Great service and lots of choice. We were made very welcome and the hosts made every effort to please.

excellent family run restaurants with great food and personal service.our Golden Wedding party was an unforgettable evening

For the 2nd time we had a private party here for 12 friends and had the restaurant to ourselves. Agnes agreed a lovely menu in advance and the food was great. We were well looked after all evening with service to match the food and will be back.

Having a one night stay in the area, we stumbled upon this eating place, tempted by the board advertising polish dumplings.We were warmly greeted and both my wife and I had a lovely Vienner Schnitzel and polish dumplings lunch, both were delicious! Piano music was playing in the background, the service was really friendly and the food was excellent, we could not ask for anything else. It was fantastic in every way.It is tucked away in a corner but do go to the effort to go, you really won't be disappointed.

We were a party of seven having a long and lazy lunch. Good wine, tasty food and great service. The menu has some really unusual options which is fantastic after eating at so many predictable establishments. Attentive service from enthusiastic owners also makes a pleasant change. We will be back.

Somewhat tucked away in Montpelier, this delightful restaurant/café offers great food great service and is run by a couple with evident passion and commitment to what they do.Went with friends from Greenwich who are accustomed to eating well - and they absolutely loved it!

I have enjoyed coffee and croissants here before and taken away quiche to eat later at home. We wanted lunch this time and I was surprised at the extensive choice of food available, with wine and beer (a customer was enjoying a Polish beer which I will try another time). We settled on their wonderful home made quiche, and a truly great goulash, tender flavourful meat in excellent broth. A splendid lunch. Highly recommended.

Stumbled across this delight whilst Christmas shopping. Amazing selection of home made cakes and wonderful Polish specialities- we had pork dumplings that were truly delicious. Lovely atmosphere, extremely friendly owners and young man playing piano. Not to be missed!

We dropped into the Cafe del Art on spec and so glad we did. Food was very good, service was excellent and all at a very, very good price point. Will return for sure.

Breakfast treat for wife. First time here it was first class owner /staff where great, ordered coffee and Full English ask if I could have fried bread and no toast well that was the best bread in a long time. All is cooked to order, if you want breakfast or a meal give it a go it is very good.....

We are just back from a mini trip to Cheltenham . When we arrived on Sunday we popped in her to have some lunch .. the girl who served us was really pleasant and the food was delicious . ( I had a paninni & my husband had quiche ) was really lovely and just what we needed. Then we popped back this am for breakfast .. again great service, great food , good atmosphere .. good price .. definitley recommend ..

I genuinely don't believe you will find better food, service and hospitality anywhere in Cheltenham like you get here! It was an amazing find, exquisite food and lovely artisan decor! Truly worth visiting.

We took a break from the Literary Festival and wandered around looking for a friendly cafe. We felt very welcome and the coffee was fine. Later that day we were looking for a place to eat and found ourselves back in the same cafe - in fact for the rest of our stay we were in there for coffee and meals and would have done breakfast too if we had not been staying on a B and B basis. Small, nice atmosphere, good service and food, deserves to do well.

We popped in a few times during the Literature Festival as an escape from the crowded tea tent and to enjoy their excellent coffee. We had sandwiches which were freshly made and generously filled. I had the Swedish herring sandwich which came with sweet potato chips and potato wedges - enough for a filling lunch. We enjoyed their cake which was also very good. The staff were friendly and welcoming and service good.

Small cafe tucked away in Montpellier. small and cozy but can feel a bit cramped if full. Continental menu for lunch and dinner reminds me of my French experience. in terms of creativity, value and quality. .The cakes are fantastic. Great place for afternoon tea as well. and quality.

Lovely cafe, we had an enjoyable breakfast outside, very relaxing. Staff were friendly and somebody was playing the piano inside at the time. I don't know if that is a regular thing but it certainly added to the atmosphere.Would return when revisiting Cheltenham.

It was amazing. The food was of excellent quality, home made with fresh ingredients, and prepared on the spot, and then cooked to perfection. It was the best pork I've ever tasted in my life !! It was all nicely presented and served, and the owners were nice and friendly too. The puds/cakes were to die for and beautifully presented on the plate. The cafe was spotlessly clean. All in all a truly lovely eating experience. I can highly recommend it without any hesitation.

Absolutely delicious meal. Wine was fantastic. Staff very friendly. Lovely ambiance. Only positives to say about this place!

Following a last minute change of plan and having carried out some local research on afternoon tea offers at various establishments in Cheltenham, we decided to opt for tea for two at the Cafe del Art which is modestly priced at £20 (yes, that's for two people). We were well-rewarded with an ample quantity of fresh sandwiches (we selected the fillings from options on the menu), the freshest of scones with smooth Cornish clotted cream plus jam and a garnish of tasty strawberries and finally a cake of our choice. This was all accompanied by a pot of tea - again various options on the menu - but we also splashed out on a Prosecco, grenadine and pink lemonade cocktail which was delicious. We spent ages over this meal, savouring the background live piano accompaniment and asking for numerous top-ups of hot water. This is a family-run business and everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Went here last Tuesday for a quick bite to eat at lunch and chose the Goulash. (See photos)Delightful food , outside tables and brilliant sunshine. The food is outstanding here and run by a caring family. Try it and enjoy

We have eaten here a few times now when visiting our daughter. My wife is coeliac and the gluten free options are brilliant. We have had main meals and the specials are particularly good. From the menu the souvlaki and was light and tasty and we have had numerous cakes on coffee visits. The orange cheesecake and the lemon meringue are superb and gluten free too! It has a European rather than an English feel but that adds to its appeal. We have found the staff very personable if a little laconic but they have always been nice and helpful. The young waitress makes a real effort. The owners just seem very busy as they work hard. Good luck to them in running a cafe/restaurant with a difference of which Cheltenham can be proud. We will be back.

if I could have given no stars I would have!! As soon as we arrived we asked if they had a restroom and the owner/waiter informed us he did but it was for use by his customers. We should have walked out at that point but decided to stay. The arrogance and rudeness of this guy continued throughout our brief and unpleasant visit. I think this is not the business for him to be in!! NEVER AGAIN. Its of no surprise that the cafe was empty - and it will remain so if he continues his rudeness.

If I could have done so I'd have scored this restaurant no stars at all. It looks lovely but there was only one member of staff there and he was what I can only describe as extremely rude. Perhaps that's why my two friends and I were the only people there! The sole reason we stayed was because one of us needed to use the 'rest room' and we were told it was for customers only. We thus felt obliged to buy something! I asked for a bottle of still water only to be told they didn't have any - only sparkling! We all ended up with diet coke which we quickly drank, paid for and left. We all wished we'd just walked out regardless of using their facilities!! We definitely won't be recommending anyone to frequent this restaurant and will not be going to it again ourselves!

Chose to eat here as there were some spare outside tables in a nice looking terrace area. The menu had some interesting choices and I decided on a Scandninavian open sandwich. For the price this was great value as it contained lots of herring and salad plus a bowl of potato wedges. To follow I had coffee which was excellent and my husband had a whiskey and was given a really generous measure. Service was great. Very enjoyable experience.

I have visited here a couple of time for coffee now and while I have to admit the quality of the coffee is very good, the service is just a little lacking. The waiter seemed unenthusiastic and not particularly friendly which let down what could be a great little place.

We were in the area after spending a fantastic night and meal at Mal Maison looking for some refreshment and a bite to eat the following day for lunch. We came across this lovely place which did not look very busy but showed plenty of promise! Everyone polite. While we were there we chatted with a local who spoke very highly of the cafe but said it had recently received an unfair review. With this in mind, my partner and I made extra effort to not to find trivial fault as we appreciate small businesses in this industry are very much under pressure. We ordered a piece of their home-made quiche and a simple ham and cheese panini. The quiche came after about 40 minutes and 10 minutes later we were still waiting for the panini! After prompting the waiter the panini arrived 10 minutes later with a very quiet apology, indicating a problem with the grill? The order had obviously been forgotten. Meanwhile there was a family with children (that sat on adjacent table) who arrived at the cafe well after we ordered and got served a cooked meal fifteen minutes before we even got served! We are not people who criticize easily, but serving customers in this fashion will not win many fans. Otherwise the food was pleasant enough.

They serve amazing coffee and cakes in Cafe del Art. We enjoyed our morning coffee there and will be back for lunch some time soon. Best loos too. Everything a woman needs on her travels is provided. Thanks Cafe del Art

We booked for a lunch after my mother's big big birthday event. Agnes was pleasant and patient throughout my changing emails before we visited, and delightful when we met her. We called for (excellent) coffee before the event, then for a late lunch afterwards. The main courses were all very good, and the desserts were amazing! We had a lovely meal and Agnes and ?Eric? were so kind to my mother. Very many thanks!

My partner and I have visited this pleasant cafe several times, sometimes just for coffee and cake (both excellent and cakes is gluten free) and other times I have had lunch with girl friends. However, I booked a table for 5 of us yesterday lunchtime for a special family reunion. Unfortunately, the arrival of all our meals was spread out over about 15 minutes, so by the time the last meal arrived, I had almost finished mine, (and I was eating slowly deliberately) which came out first. One of our party sent back her dish as she said the tomatoes sauce just tasted like a tube of tomato purree, heated up. Her replacement pasta dish was satisfactory. My own meal was delicious and I will certainly be returning.

Visited yesterday with family. We ordered continental platter to share and drinks. Service was good however waiter touched my baby without asking. Food was incredibly poor quality platter that cost us £14 contained two slices or ham two slices or salami and slice of prosciutto all looked and tasted like they were bought from Bookers. Dry salad from bag , something very far away from butter, Branson pickle, guacamole from supermarket - the cheep kind. Also wrinkly black olives very very old. We swallowed our £14 platter, went on our way and promised to never come back again. Don't get fooled by the look or the place - they will serve you cheap sh.... that I wouldn't even buy in the shop and charge the fortune for it. Stay away if you are planning to have a nice meal.

Nice tea and coffee, lively location, very rude service. The waiter needs to learn some manners in customer service. We won't be back.

Wow - what a surprise this place was. Fantastic setting, excellent service, generous portions, great value for money, plenty of choice on the menu and most importantly phenomenal food. Everything is made from scratch and you can really tell. We had the beef roulade served with cous cous and seasonal vegetables, and chicken souvlaki kebabs with potato wedges and salad. There were so many other tempting items though - stroganoff, pastas, schnitzel, risottos. The desserts were to die for, with a selection of hand made tarts, gateaux and cakes. We had a slice of dark chocolate tart and toffee cheesecake, which perfectly rounded off our meal. Cafe del Art never seems to be that busy, and on a lovely summer's evening, we were one of only 3 couples, but I really hope word spreads as it's most definitely one of the beat meals we've had in Cheltenham, and we can't wait to return.

I was fairly envious as I watched the faces of the rest of the party, nodding over their beef, thinly sliced, rolled and braised in red wine until almost melting, a minor problem meant I was off meat at the time. But my tuna salad on quinoa was utterly delicious - tomatoes gherkins delicately dressed leaves. Quite first rate food with friendly, helpful East European staff who I trust are completely welcome in Cheltenham, an area which voted Remain; a fact which made the visit to the town even more enjoyable. Barry had found Cafe del Art in search of gluten free cakes, which are superb. But it is much more than that as an easy lunch with just the one bottle between four amply demonstrated. A cheerful lunch on a rainy post-Brexit day

Had a great meal and drink however due to rubbish weather the 5 of us were their only customers on a Saturday night. Not their fault but no atmosphere. Watch the add on sides though

Nice place to eat with a good menu. Food was high quality. It was a pity we were the only people there so the atmosphere was a little 'dull'. Not the fault of the restaurant but the weather!Friendly owner and nice table layout.

We went here to get out of the dampness. Inside is very close together a little cramped.All the hot food is made to order the carbonara was a little bit peppery which was a pity as it looked really nice. The sandwiches are also made to order as well and really fresh.The lemon meringue pie WOW that's all I can say

Stop ar Cafe del Arts for morning tea. The atmosphere was very inviting, but not as much as the fabulous cakes. We shared a lemon meringue which was beautiful.

My husband and I found this place after walking out of a chain restaurant as it didn't feel right. As we walked in, the owner welcomed us. The restaurant was laid out with white table cloths and candles. A lovely inviting atmosphere. The menu was so different to the other foodie places in Montpelier. We ordered a bottle of prosecco and at £16 a bottle seemed good value, especially as the place we had just walked out of charged £25!!! A lovely touch was having strawberries in the glasses. Also a jug of tap water with ice and lemon. I had prawn cocktail. Lots of prawns and a spicy seafood sauce. My husband had herring fillets that came with a glass of Polish vodka, all of which was very tasty. We both had Vienna schnitzel, which is flattened pork in breadcrumbs and spicy potato wedges and veg. All home made and delicious. For dessert there was a section of different caky things. Again,homemade. I asked if I could have 2 small slices of two different things as I couldnt decide. No problem! I had apricot frangipane tart and dark chocolate tart with clotted cream. They were absolutely delicious. My husband had a peanut butter caramel cheesecake with icecream, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Then a good hot fresh coffee and a liquor. The food portions are generous. The prices are reasonable. The owner made us feel welcome and was very attentive without being intrusive. We both had a 'lovely evening' and I am so glad we tried this little gem of a restaurant.

Good selection of gluten free cakes, and the hot food is cooked to order, and the sandwiches are clearly made to Oder - we had a pasta dish which was tasty (possibly too much black pepper - certainly for my taste), tuna and red onion sandwich tasty and a massive lemon meringue pie, with a quirk a slim layer of coconut which made it very very good.Tables are probably a little close together, which makes you feel cramped.However a very nice place to have a snack

As the weather was good, we sat outside for our coffee and brunch. I had the brioche with banana and honey. It was so delicious and light - just right for the hot weather. My cappuccinos were spot on, too! We stayed for a couple of hours.

We sat down at a table for four , although there was just two of us, this was because I had just had major surgery and the tables for two were too close together and I didn't want to get knocked when people moved. This was obviously the crime of the century! The waiter/ owner made a huge fuss of separating the tables and made me feel really uncomfortable! We decided to leave and did not order as we were obviously an inconvenience. We went to a cafe downstairs, where we were made very welcome!

Lovely cafe/restaurant. We had amazing service with full awareness of what was gluten free and what wasn't. Understood my needs and was given great service. Food was lovely. Amazing gluten free cake to finish. Will definitely be recommending this place and returning. Best gluten free food I have ever tasted.

Had the quiche and omelette for lunch. Food was lovely. Waiter was very friendly. Highly recommend for lunch. Well priced too

Often pop in here for coffee.Recently had lunch here with friend who was up for a few days from London.Great menu, I can recommend the goulash!Food is of a high standard and a superb selection of cakes and deserts.All in all,a lovely place to eat tucked away in a corner of Montpelier Courtyard. You can sit outside if weather is fine.Great food,great staff and good value.Recommended.

We found this lovely little restaurant located in a picturesque little courtyard off Montpelier Street in Cheltenham. We had a wonderful breakfast, all freshly cooked, nothing was too much trouble for the owners and so friendly. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time sat outside in the warm sunshine and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Cheltenham.

My husband and I absolutely love this restaurant! ! Normally I go for their beautiful handmade cakes, but this time we chose to go with our little dog to have breakfast. We sat outside on the patio in the glorious sunshine and had eggs benedict with smoked salmon, it's the best breakfast we've ever had! ! We loved their food so much we also ordered a strawberry and honey brioche, it was such a treat and such good value for money. I'd highly recommend this restaurant the food is excellent and the couple who run it are brilliant!! I'm tempted to go there everyday the food was so good. Also they do the best coffee in cheltenham! !

Visited Cafe Del Art with my boyfriend for dinner. Tucked away in Cheltenhams Monpellier area, it's a great spot to sit outside on a warm evening and enjoy a glass of wine. The couple who own this restaurant are lovely and really make this place. The husband is a qualified patisserie specialist and had a whole range of home made cakes, all of which were gluten free. The only thing I'd like to see more of are vegetarian options as there was only one but the risotto I had was really nice. I've also had lunch here with friends and enjoyed it. Would definitely visit again and bring visiting family here.

Stopped for coffee & went back for lunch ! An array of home baked cakes & a quick look at the menu enticed me - we weren't disappointed. I decided to make lunch my main meal as I was tempted away from the wide selection of sandwiches and salads & plumped for the chicken & chorizo risotto, there was enough for two so luckily, my husband helped polish it off after enjoying his chicken and feta salad. It was delicious. We finished with a slice of heavenly carrot cake shared between the two - large portion size again ! With two soft drinks the bill was a very reasonable £22.

I have reviewed this restaurant before but felt compelled to again. A Wednesday afternoon I chose a pork Schnitzel dish with potato wedges with a glass of wine. Lovely food, relaxed service and easy going atmosphere.This is a café / restaurant everyone should try. Thank you Café del Art, your food is spot on !

Revisiting Montpelier after several years absence & came across this venue at just the right time! It looked nice & we weren't disappointed. Friendly, enthusiastic young staff, a clean, comfortable setting and excellent food - the goulash soup was the best i have had.Well worth seeking out.

I took a bit of a risk booking an evening table for 12 having only had a small lunch here one day. Agnes offered to make it a private event and we weren't disappointed. Food and service was brilliant! Ordered herrings (bit unusual) and they were wonderful. Be careful of the vodka - it can take you by surprise!

Been here twice and both times the food has been fab, service as quick as you can expect for dishes made fresh and the people in there very friendly (even being helpful in giving me advice on gluten free baking as I'm new to that) food is lovely, large portions, in a nice part of cheltenham and not overpriced so nothing to dislike!

I've eaten lunch here twice now, having heard rave reviews from friends previously. The first time I visited (a few months ago) I ordered a risotto dish which I chose primarily because so many of the menu choices contained cheese (which I don't like) and as the list of ingredients didn't mention it, I thought it would be fine. Unfortunately, it did have cheese in it and the staff were helpful in replacing it with a pasta dish without cheese but it didn't taste of anything very much. I thought that maybe that was a one-off misfortune so I returned more recently with a different friend and I ordered what sounded like a lovely maple-flavoured salmon dish served with a pea and dill risotto (which I obviously checked first that there was no cheese in!!). The salmon tasted pleasant enough but was slightly dry (overcooked) and the risotto was made with basmati rice, not carnaroli or arborio rice, which meant that it wasn't creamy and slightly liquid, but very dry. I've never been served risotto with the wrong rice before! It was served with salad which comprised a few green leaves - very boring. My friend ordered a quiche and left some of it, saying it was a bit heavy and not very tasty. We didn't order dessert. In sum, the food was ok, edible and the cafe itself is very pretty but I shan't be going back again. I genuinely don't know what others have raved about - maybe we ordered the wrong dishes?

We stopped in here for a latish lunch today - it proved to be a very good choice. We both had pasta dishes - my puttanesca was especially tasty. We were warned that their food is all made fresh and so it would be 12-15 minutes - it was well worth the wait and we will definitely be back.Oh and in case you're wondering why only 4 stars - the olives & bread starter was nothing special and something of a letdown.

What a great find. A group of pals roaming Montpelier looking for a hearty full breakfast struck lucky in finding a warm welcome and delicious and plentiful breakfast. The hosts were so accommodating and friendly, turning out 7 full 'English' with a great Polish twist, all of it wonderful quality and very tasty, highly recommended!

High quality homemade foodHad vegetarian risotto really tastyProsecco with fresh strawberriesDivineService welcoming and personalWonderful cherry chocolates

This is a must place. Very good food. Probably the best food I have eaten outside my mother's food .I am so pleased Everything is clean, everything is relaxed, they treated me perfectedly.Incidendly the Hungarian goulash is fab and the herring is so good.Price for goulash £7 and the same for herring. Glass of wine and starter a few quid and I can make this a local eating house, they have time for you.Lastly the goulash is the best food I've had in any restaurant ! And I mean that ! It's a pleasure to write this report.(I'm still eating my meal it's that good ! )

On our arrival we were ushered into seats, and asked repeatedly what we wanted before being given menus. The service was quite brisk, without the welcoming atmosphere the pretty little cafe looked to have.On the menu my bagel was listed as £5, however at the checkout I was charged £7.50. A ridiculously high price for a bagel.Although the food was nice and the cafe pretty, the service was VERY poor and I don't think we'll return.

It is hard to please all people at all times but I feel it is well worth a visit here to find out if it is the place for you.Most people really enjoy everything they choose and I found it a lovely place to enjoy a meal that is well presented and wholesome.So do go and try it and you won't be disappointed .

Have been here several times recently and thoroughly recommend it. Fab food imaginative and really tasty. Good good coffee and cakes and desserts are yummy!A very friendly couple run it and things are prepared freshly.Breakfast particularly great.Enjoy.

The only thing I really miss now I'm coeliac is having the ability to choose a treat from a selection to have with a coffee on the weekend. Not only does this little cafe give you a choice of yummy cakes but there's a great selection of lunches and dinners too. So glad we found it! We will be back!

We had lunch here and the menu was exciting and original. Though small, it has a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere and we both enjoyed our choices from the range of food on offer.

We were looking for a late lunch on a Friday and came upon this place unexpectedly with no great expectations - how wrong we were. The welcome from the Polish owner was warm, knowledgeable and not pushy and the light lunch we had - excellent Polish beer - was filling and tasty. They are open for two evenings for dinner, and if we hadn't had a reservation somewhere else would have gladly returned for dinner - the menu looked good and hearty for a cold winters day.

My wife and I have stopped here for some time now for coffee or lunch. However, we had some time to kill and decided to have the Full English. Bacon. eggs. sausages,tomatoes,onions,baked beans,mushrooms and toast.Great value, cooked and presented to perfection. Needed no more food for the rest of the day.

Wandering around montpellier looking for a coffee and cake I just happened upon this place. What a great find. Fabulous cakes a good coffee .Who ars these people who go out of their way to write deliberately bad reviews. This place is excellent I will visit again when in Cheltenham. For all, Ceoliacs all their food is gluten free.

such a great place to eat! food was incredible and the owners a delight! i am already craving the food for my next visit!

We have been coming to this Café on and off for nearly 2 years and it just gets better. Today my Mother and I had the best omelettes we have ever had!! Light and very tasty. There is a good variety of food and superb cakes!. The family who run it are always friendly and professional. If the weather is fine there is a lovely quiet area outside to sit. Highly recommended.

The opening times I believe are 9am to 9pm Saturday's, but when we walked up to the cafe at 2ish, a rather surly looking chap came up and said we're closed, and practically shut the door in our face! We won't bother to go back if that's their idea of customer service.

We went here everyday for breakfast as we never take breakfast in the hotel as we live to support and sample the local business 's and enjoy the slow relaxing pace of the locals at breakfast. Lovely people who own it and on the 3rd day of our visit even reserved our little corner table. Breakfasts are excellent with good quality product and huge portions. I ordered an egg sandwich the first day and got 3 eggs in it!!! Also great coffee and a lovely partisan type theme alto they do lots of different European food. Easy to find on Montpellier Street in the Montpellier courtyard in the corner on the ground level. V reasonable prices and very obliging owners offering great service.

Service was average. Very slow. Wait time of over 30 minutes for sandwich order.Food was poor. £20 for three sandwiches did not offer value for money. Quality of products used was poor. Would not recommend.

Home made, fresh and tasty. What else would you expect from a cafe food? Well worth the price; however, when busy (and it was) one needs to wait be served a little while. At least you know it not a froozen stuff they serve you. Pop in...

Came here for late breakfast/lunch during the literary festival.We called ahead, expecting it might be busy, but the staff were happy to set aside a table for four at only 30 minutes notice.While we narrowly missed the breakfast menu (which ceases at 12 noon, and had in fact finished at 11:45am on that day), there was an abundance of choice for lunch, ranging from light bites through to hearty meals.I had an omelette, while my companions chose the Hungarian goulash, the kipper salad sandwich, and the smoked haddock & mash special.We all very much enjoyed our food, of which the quality and quantity was substantial. The prices were fair, and the coffee was also very good.Shame that the weather wasn't a little nicer, as there is a charming outdoor arcade and plenty of seating outside the cafe. The inside was cosy and even had a little table of books and games to be enjoyed by those seeking a quiet spot to relax.Would strongly recommend this venue for a decent sized and quality lunch.

We come here for tea,coffee and lunch during the Cheltenham Literary festival. Excellent coffee and cake and afternoon tea with fresh scones.Lunch is a delight with good soup or sandwiches but the bigger more expensive lunches are superb. I had a lovely pasta and my wife had fresh tuna and salad.We first came two years ago and thought they gave a really good service and we enjoyed the food. That enthusiasm is still there.

I had an absolutely amazing experience, found this little gem with my friend on a busy Saturday afternoon. The family was lovely and I could see how much effort was being put into every little bit of it. The food (chorizo and carbonara) were amazing the portions were generous and I was over the moon with the subline service and singing from the waitress! If only I didn't live so far away I would go back tomorrow!

We went there three times over the weekend, twice for breakfast and once for lunch. Good food, the staff are all very friendly. It did get very busy which means you need to not be in a rush.The breakfasts are all individually prepared and cooked extremely well.

We came cross this lovely little restaurant by chance. Friendly staff ,tasty food in a relaxed atmosphere with live piano music on the day we visited.

Visited the Café del Art three times and on all three occasions, enjoyed the friendly service, high quality food, delicious cakes and pleasant atmosphere. Especially impressed by the selection of gluten free cakes and lovely sandwiches. Will come back again.

Called for casual afternoon tea to find a choice of 8 different and sumptuous gluten free cakes and flans. Excellent coffee and tea selection to go with it.

Yet again another lovely evening dining al fresco at Cafe Del Art. I can think of nowhere better to enjoy the last of the warm evenings. The food was wonderful.. Lovely Husband's strogonoff was superb... proper "home cooked" and a huge plate and you would never have known it was gluten free. My chicken skewer was simply delicious. The Polish beers went down beautifully and the gluten free coffee and walnut cake that we brought home with us was amazing. The peaceful Montpellier Courtyard; the gentle strains of Edith Piaf and the feeling of being back in Budapest or dining in Lake Como .... I can't think of a better way to start the weekend. I really can't recommend this place highly enough. An absolute essential if you find yourself looking for somewhere to dine in the centre of Cheltenham but .. but.. shhhh... don't tell everyone... let's keep it a secret....

Popped in for a take away black coffee and I saw they had bananas so grabbed one for my daughter. Nearly £4!!! Not very friendly :( no smiles. Nothing.

parked the car on the road and was heading down to the other courtyard cafes but saw this little place out of he corner of my eye. I love the vintage European cafe look so we sat down . The owner is a bit stiff but I think that's just his way . We ordered two lovely plates of sandwiches with drinks , genuinely nice simple food with a twist , I have to say the open avacado and kipper sandwich was lovely . I glimpsed the cakes through the window and the owner pointed out that he made them himself , they all looked fabulous my wife and I went for carrot and I had the blackberry meringue, 5* cake. I would say very reasonably priced throughout, great setting and we will be back for an early evening meal shortly . I did read some of the other low marked reviews on this place before I wrote this and I have to say I am surprised it was not my experience. keep it up I love the fact your independent and care about your food .

This little out of the way cafe serves home made polish food with amazing flavours and has plenty of veggie/gluten free options so good all rounder. I have been twice now, had the goulash soup first time with sourdough bread. Filled me up and tasty tasty tasty.... :-) Second time round I went for an omelette with salad, You get to choose three of the fillings as you like and , although simple, this was cooked to perfection and washed down with a lovely glass of white wine. We'll be back to try the cakes (all homemade) real soon

The food is made with love and care, you can taste it. Genuine home made propper food that is served with smile and is delivered in generous portions. We had a goulash and veg omelette that were to die for. Also a lot of stuff is gluten free so gantastic. This place is back to basics were they want to make their customers happy. Big recomendations, we will be back.

Il modello del Cafe del art è quello del bistrot, per cui si può far colazione con caffè e dolci (ottimi, devono avere un pasticcere in cucina) così come si può mangiare una buona zuppa, un piatto di carne, una quiche di verdure o fare un classico enghlish full breakfast. E a volte qualche piatto italiano, come risotti o prosciutto e melone. La scelta alcolica abbonda. Il locale giusto per mangiare bene in relax con poca spesa
