Lumiere in Cheltenham

Well what can i say ! My ever first visit at lumière was last year! So impressed from that last visit I just had too pop back again as soon as... I love this restaurant as it nice and small enough, and not to big! Makes the experience more Intimate.. Having sat down to the table with a pre-drink inhand, it was time for the taster and the wine flight to start... First was the grand tasting of 3 canapés which consisted of a Taramasalata fish looking cracker, Cornish Lobster and a stinking Bishop... All 3 was absolutely spot on! Best one was the stinking Bishop! Tasting and Visually... The the Sourdough with Cultured Butter and a chicken skin butter. The chicken skin butter is always a winner  winner.. Next up was the potato & eel !! Which I had at my first visit! And boy-o so glad it's still on the menu! It's still so bloody good ! Then it was an absolute fat and excitedly cooked Orkney Scallop! The subtle flavours Work around the scallop. Next course was yet again another banger that I had from my last visit, creedy Carver Duck.. Thin slices of Duck with the very special Duck Parfait with chocolate! Just love that Parfait with chocolate, dam delicious. Next was the magical Tequila Slammer! Great cleanser and theatrical looking. Then for the main meat which was Hogget! Now this was literally unbelievably good ! It's one of them dishes that you wish it was massive! Then we moved over to the sweet Section hour.. First off was like an duck egg set custard with Apricot Sorbet. This was very tasty and refreshing! Nice little pot of delightful goodness. Second dessert was Strawberries and chocolate! Yet another dessert that's made my happy to be there .. So they had an extra course on the menu for just a little bit extra! So I asked for the course to come out after the desserts a it was a cheese course... Baron Bigod Cheese and a sourdough Crumpet! Now I love cheese courses like this ! Instead of the boring cheeseboard!! Which is so outdated in my eyes! So I was very happy.. Then it was over to the petit Fours! Which to get a good plenty of then to finish of an extremely tasty food... So was it worth coming back to?? Well, obviously, from what I've just written! It's worth travelling to. Go on ! Go and enjoy Lumière at least once, twice? Three, four times.. It's worth it....

had a sublime 8-course taster menu on Saturday. Every one was a memorable and amazing combination of flavours. Staff all very friendly an professional as well so made for a perfect night.

What an incredible experience. We had the 8 course option with wine flight and from beginning to end it was stunning! Immensely clever and imaginative cooking. The service was delightful too. I honestly can't find a fault. Amazing!!

Very tasty food, I loved every course. Service impeccable, servers described each course precisely. However, don’t expect it to crash your diet!

A warm welcome was waiting for us by the front of house team. Followed by a set seven course menu accompanied by wines chosen to marry the excellent food. Well worth a visit

We were lucky enough to visit for a second time this year and the new menu was exceptional. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere was perfect . The venison and scallop dishes were the standout along with the impressive " tequila slammer " , however I must mention the chicken butter WOW . Will definitely be back as Cheltenham is fast becoming our go to place .

Wow!!! Amazing meal in a small, tucked away venue. Super special. Came with family who live in Cheltenham and visit regularly. Not disappointed. Loved it. Definitely coming back

We went in for my husband's birthday. It's a lovely and small venue, but the service and food and drink quality was superb - well it's Michelin standard! We had some very interesting dishes, which we usually wouldn't go for, but they were all very good.

Just fabulous- everything was just perfect

Perfection. Amazing food of course but also the personal service, atmosphere, relaxing music. Wine list. Just exquisite. Best gluten free bread I’ve ever tasted - wish it was possible to buy it from them! The butters…particularly the chicken butter were lovely. We had the six course taster menu. So much effort, thought and skill in every detail. It was a treat for my husband’s birthday which we both thoroughly enjoyed.

Had the eight course tasting menu between 6 for a birthday. The food was beautiful, the wine (particularly a white from Japan and a white burgundy) delicious and Matthew and his team took exceptional care of us all! Each course was perfectly crafted, but the more ravenous might want an extra portion of bread.

Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and shown to our table. The decor is neutral and has a modern feel, and there is plenty of space between tables. We had the 6 course dinner menu, each course looked and tasted amazing. Beautifully presented and full of flavour. It was difficult to pick a stand out dish as each one had its own flavour profile and complemented each other. They have a tablet so you can select your food and drinks. However, the best part of having the tablet is that you can read more detail about each of the dishes before or after you’ve eaten them. All the staff were excellent, extremely professional, friendly and polite. They knew all about the dishes and explained them as they came to the table. They could not do enough to ensure we enjoyed our visit. For the experience and food it was extremely reasonably priced and would highly recommend it.

We dined here for my birthday on the 21st August. We had the 8 course tasting menu and it was incredible - highly recommend, can't wait to hopefully go back one day. The only dish we were not fans of was the canapé containing Stinking Bishop cheese but that's purely because we are not big cheese people, it was very strong but I'm sure delicious to the right people 😊 the raspberry dessert was divine and I would pay a lot of money just for the custard again! The sweetcorn dish with eel was another favourite which I'd have never thought would be. That's the beauty of a tasting menu as a fussy eater 🤗

I went with my family for my birthday and had a great time. It’s a small, understated restaurant from the outside, with the only clue that you are about to enter the best fine dining restaurant in Cheltenham being the famous red plaque and white star sitting pride of place next to the sample menu. We had the 6 course menu which was full of dishes packed with exquisite flavours, all served with brilliant, friendly staff. The menus are on tablets, which I was a bit skeptical at first, but with them being left on the table it was great to read about all the detail that goes into the dishes and the origin for all the locally sourced produce, as you eat them. Would highly recommend it’s a real treat!

Great food, nice setting, good combination of flavours, perhaps a little too daring at times. The staff were very friendly, a little on the young side and lacking experience but still adequate for a good dining experience. Very good sommelier with interesting pairing choices. Didn't feel let down when having a dairy free menu either. Having tried other similar establishments in the area, lumière is without a doubt leading the pack! Kudos to all staff working there.

We came to Lumiere a couple of weeks ago for a celebration and it was nothing short of amazing. The menu is extremely creative and exciting, and all delicious! We loved every course but a personal faves had to be the Creedy Carver Duck and Mount Grace Farm Kerry Hill Texel Cross Hogget. Helen and Matt were both incredible hosts (including helping me to plan a surprise gift before service!), and I'm pretty sure Jon is a wizard. The ambiance of the restaurant is also really nice and intimate so you get a very personal experience. Really well deserving of it's star and would love to see them get a second. It definitely tops many of the other 1 star places we have been!

Ate there last night. Lovely food served by lovely people. Ive lived in cheltenham for a while but for some reason never got round to going there before. Wish i had. I think I'm a fan!

My wife and I had a wonderful evening. Excellent food, lovely staff, everything done with a smile. Excellent menu, lovely decor, very special experience. Made special allowances to the menu due to dietary requirements. We would highly recommend and we will certainly be back.

This is a gem of a restaurant. Go while you can. Food probably merits a 2 Star Michelin rating. Creative, tasty and beautifully presented- the food- as it should be -was the star. The staff were friendly, informative and attentive. It felt a personal enterprise- and that we were genuinely appreciated.A little kitchen/bar noise to be picky, but … go now while you can get a reservation- the word is out.

Sublime cuisine, superb service and excellent wines. We enjoyed the 8 course tasting menus, one vegetarian, with accompanying wine flights in a relaxed setting. Many of the top quality ingredients are grown locally by the chef and his wife, all the dishes are beautifully presented and consistently flawless.

Celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary with the Six course tasting menu. The food was absolutely delicious, the service was fantastic and the whole experience was extremely well thought out and executed. The coronation chicken canape, the tequila slammer and the chicken butter were particularly exceptional - but every dish was delightful. Would highly recommend and will visit again!

Phenomenal dinner for 10 today. 8 courses and wine to accompany. Really amazing food, a genuinely talented chef team with great ingredients. Also service good and we were well looked after. Unlike a lot of places, I would go back and eat again as every course was high quality and well constructed. Also I was full at the end which is often unusual with Michelin ⭐ so bravo. Sourdough bread is very good and made onsite. Good crust and crumb is airy but not too bubbly so they have clearly fermented a good mix. Acidity is not too much and the crust thin but crisp as well. Improvement points, maybe 30s to 1 minute extra in the asparagus. Also the lamb breast is superb but we needed a double portion. It's amazing and the effort to make it was clear. However, one more mouthful would be appreciated. I have not taken any photos of the food to preserve the surprise for everyone. I would usually take a lot of photos. However, after the first course looked so good I just ate and enjoyed. Don't worry you will not be disappointed. Well done team.⭐

A warm and friendly welcome to this small and intimate restaurant. We have eaten at many Michelin starred restaurants and this was amongst the best because every course was superb and at the same level of excellence but above all everything was accessible and delightful to the normal pallet. Nothing too pretentious, just exceptionally good, skilled and high quality food with amazing flavours and texture profiles. Congratulations to Chef. Nothing disappointed on this visit, great wine paring and great service from our host and her team.

Lovely little cosy restaurant, easy to miss if you are going in the evening as the outside sign is not too obvious. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a lovely and smiley girl who showed us to our table and took our coats. We went for the 8 course menu which was £135/pers and it included a complementary canapé and water (still or sparkling). The dishes were very well balanced both in terms of texture and taste, some with subtle flavours that would perfectly complement each other, while others were much bolder, giving you an explosion of taste with every bite. I particularly enjoyed the reinterpretation of coronation chicken in a suprisingly mini format with a bold flavour profile and the smoked eel on a bed of rolled potatoes with a nice mustard and dill sauce and crispy apple batons. The tequila palate cleanser was a nice suprise mid-meal and the rhubarb dessert was the perfect balance of sweet and sour, crunchy and soft. Overall a great culinary experience from a 1 Michelin star restaurant. I will definitely be back!

Food is outstanding and so clever, full of flavour and skill. Hosts are amazing too, all in all a wonderful experience. We had the eight course taster menu with wine flight. Amazing experience.

Everything was top notch . Only thing I would say was that the hot meals did not come out on hot plates and then quickly became cool . Also the Beef pie ( part 1 cottage pie) was very salty , apart from that had a lovely evening . Staff lovely .

Mi marido y yo queríamos salir y hacer una comida especial, elegimos este restaurante y no nos equivocamos, ha sido un acierto los entrantes, la comida, el postre, y el trato del personal el mayor de ellos!

Gorgeous, clever food, great wine pairings and fabulous customer service. We had a wonderful time and will be back. Michelin star absolutely deserved.

Lovely. Well deserving of its Michelin star. Entrance is incognito!

We are local to Lumiere and tend to visit there for special occasions. We have always loved it and think their recent Michelin Star is very well deserved. Last night's meal there was outstanding. We had the 8 course tasting menu. Each course was delicious - such an interesting fusion of flavours and textures. One course involved dry ice, making it a very theatrical experience too! The service was impeccable as always. All in all, another excellent experience.

My wife and I were given a lunch at Lumiere as a collective Christmas present by our wonderful children. What a terrific choice! It is all about the food. The charming service and the impeccable decor are there to let you concentrate on the food. We had a seven-course tasting menu together with wines chosen to match. There were more than seven servings, as some of the courses, such as the canapés, had two or three parts to them. The flavours that the chef had put together were phenomenal. Who could have known that a morsel of Coronation Chicken (served in a little pastry cup) could make you weep with joy? The crispy mussel (really!) had surely been delivered from Heaven - no human could make something that delicious. The 'Teqila Slammer' palate cleanser, perfectly placed before course six, cleansed the palate sure enough, and put a spring back into your appetite. What sort of genius thinks of making a cocktail into such a thing? It was the course that had the only bit of restaurant theatre in it, and that made us both smile. No spoilers, it's worth seeing for yourself. My wife and I left the restaurant very happy and very full. We are still talking about it a week later, and we are still telling people about it. About the *food*. It's all about that. Thank you Lumiere for giving us such a good time. And thank you to our children for such a lovely gift.

Since lumière achieving a Michelin Star, it was so dam hard getting a table booked for 1.. Weeks & months passed, and i found a slot for lunch time! And boy i was dam happy and excited at getting a table and my first visit to this place.. Having been to Cheltenham once going to that other Michelin restaurant, this time the restaurant was at the other side of Cheltenham! Which was a blessing as you could look at the massive architectural buildings that Cheltenham has... The restaurant is sort of easy to find! I did walk past it a few times ! As the outside sign is a little small... Inside the restaurant is just the right size, not to big and not to small! Just the right size for a good Interment service.. And i could now see why i had a problem in the past getting a table when they achieved Michelin Status... Then it was time for the food.. Obviously it was a taster menu 😋 but first the canapé nibbles come out, which all was a delightful blessing... a taramasalata, coronation Chicken & Truffled 'mac & cheese' all 3 was banging and started to make me feel excited to what's next to come.. The the sourdough bread was next.. and that is an excellent sourdough!! Brilliant bake.. Then it was the next course, which was Severn & wye smoked eel & Maris Piper! This was top notch 👌 the potato was so divine and rich.. Line Caught Cornish Day Boat Sea Bass was next, the Bass was perfectly cooked with a cracking crispy skin ! The sauce was leaving me wanting more ! A very tasty dish this.. Next was a Creedy Carver Duck dish.. and when this come out i wasn't expected what it was going look like! Thought it was going to be a piece of dust breast with other things. But this made me more happy when i looked at it... with slices of fine breast, and this magical thing that was duck liver Parfait & White Chocolate! Now that White Chocolate & liver Parfait was Inspirational!! Who would of thought White Chocolate & liver Parfait works brilliant together! The whole dish just work excellent. Now it was the time for the palate cleanser.. Which yet again was spellbinding! Tequila Slammer.. and this was literally spot on what it tasted like.. Then next up is one of my favourite meats, Venison, hen of the Woods with celeriac & black Truffle.. Literally every on this Venison plate is what i enjoy in life.. another amazing dish yet again! And that Venison with celeriac & Truffle was worth coming to the restaurant for.. And then we move over to the sweet hour.. Conference Pear & valrhona Chocolate with honey Truffle was literally sweet heaven! Even the look of this dessert was delicious.. Then it was a perfect made Damson Souffle! Which the Damsons was family locally picked! An absolute cracker of a soufflé.. Then to end a delicious lunch was the finely made petit Fours! And every single one was just tastefully great... I can see why lumière grained it's star ! And how hard was it for me to get a table after it was awarded it... but boy it was worth the wait! The flight of wine was great with it as well .. it was worth Travelling to the restaurant for this lunch and will be popping back soon...

This was my first time in a Michelin star restaurant. I was worried about feeling a bit out of place but the staff were brilliant and made me feel really comfortable. Where do I start with the food!!! I've seen a lot of masterchef and always thought they were talking nonsense about the "experience" but it was just that. It was fun, it was challenging and very enjoyable. I was pushed to the limits with taste. Taste is of course subjective but the varied flavours across the 8 course menu will have something anyone would love. If you don't get to try the coronation chicken canapé or the tequila slammer you need to go back when it's on the menu. Just fantastic!!! It's worth noting I always worried I wouldn't be full with the small dishes you see on these chef shows, but this wasnt the case at all. I left very satisfied and happy!! If you're fussy stick to macdonalds!! If you enjoy food, haven't eaten in a place like this before and want a true experience. Then get a table booked!! All of this came at an incredibly reasonable price to, which is always nice. We will be back. Oh and if you don't mind wine get the wine menu to go with the meals, that blew my mind. I'm not a fan of white normally and stick to one type of red. But having wines picked to match the food was an experience in its self.

This wasn't just a meal out, it was an amazing experience and wonderful way to celebrate my husband's birthday. We chose the 8 course option and Luke had the wine pairing too (I wish I'd gone for the soft pairing now as it was so clever!!) I was expecting the food to be good but it was above good. It was interesting, challenging and even emotional! We were talking about it all the way home and still talking about it this morning. The staff were also phenomenal. That perfect balance of professional and knowledgeable but with personality!! I really enjoyed being able to read more about the ingredients and the sustainability. I thought some of the ideas on the plates were genius! Chicken butter folks!!!!! Highly recommend, looking forward to returning.

An exquisite, tasty, beautiful six course vegetarian lunch. As always, quite lovely and surprising.

It was just perfect - incredible food, lovely, warm staff, great music and atmosphere. We loved reading the in-depth menu and discovering all the ingredients that were in our dishes and how they were sourced and cooked.

We had a great meal at Lumiere. The food was excellent. The attention to detail was outstanding. Each dish contained a little surprise or flourish to keep up the interest, the perfectly balanced spice/sharp/sweet chutney with the smoked duck, the buttery unctuous mushroom with the venison, the phenomenal yogurt ice with the soufflé and the creamy crack of the chocolate accompanying the duck mousse. Front of house was friendly and welcoming without stuffiness or pretension. The paperless tablets offering detail on the dishes without the uncomfortable speech that customarily accompanies each course. I look forward to eating there again.

Too many highlights to list on the 8 course tasting menu and the wine pairings were excellent, that said - duck parfait encased in white chocolate was a unctuous and very moorish , as was the venison served with Cavalo Nero, Hen of the Woods, Celeriac, Wiltshire Truffle and jus. A combo that may sound somewhat pedestrian, but this was as good as it gets - delicious!!

If you can afford to pay for exceptional food, Lumiere is the place to eat. For 3 of us having the 6 course menu it set me back £370, including a tip and half a bottle of wine for my guests - they weren't very thirsty and I don't drink alcohol. To describe the food as anything other than sublime art would be an understatement - every dish is executed with a degree of finesse where it is clear that the chef has touched everything on the plate. Every ounce of flavour is teased out to render the food subtle, clever, delicious and tender. Each mouthful is a delight, depending on what you have combined on your fork, and while the servings could never be described as generous, you will leave this restaurant feeling very satisfied. As a GF vegetarian, I was well looked after and I simply did not know that the veggies I ate could ever taste so good. The restaurant is posh, with very carefully selected cutlery, crockery and glassware, and service is attentive, friendly and helpful. There isn't a specific dish I could point at as the best, and my guests assured me that their food was even better than mine (a number of my dishes required modification) but I did eat the best gluten free bread I have ever tasted - a course on its own. We will not be regulars as my wallet isn't big enough but what a lovely treat, and we will be back for a special occasion.

Consistently amazing - our first visit since the team were awarded their well deserved snd long overdue star. Perfection from start to finish - each course absolutely knockout and service beautifully attentive. Our favourite restaurant by far ❤️

Absolutely exquisite food, Helen and her team are fantastic and really love what they do. All courses are beautifully presented and delicious! Will definitely be back to try their next menu!

One of the most perfect evenings you can get. Helen and Mia and Matthew the sommelier were welcoming, friendly hosts. At this end of the scale, service can edge into cold or pretentious - it absolutely was not and was more like being welcomed into someone's home. The food was absolutely superb. Each course better than the last, with top notch ingredients, balanced and considered flavour and texture and a good variety, all immaculately presented. I was particularly impressed with the soft drink version of a wine flight, allowing interesting, paired flavours across courses for non-drinkers. So nice to not have to stick to water!

O lugar é pequeno e simples, mas muito aconchegante. O serviço é impecável, assim como o menu. Recomendo muito!

Fantastic tasting menu and wine pairing. The whole team make the evening very special. Worth many a visit.

We've had meals here for many years and look forward to an exquisite, tasty, superb meal. Last Saturday's lunch was exactly this; since they achieved their Michelin star, the food has reached an another level. We look forward to the next visit in December. Wonderful.

Fabulous. The service from Helen and Mia was second to none all night. The food was amazing. We chose the 8 course tasting menu, and every single thing tasted wonderful. We really enjoyed the extra info about the restaurant and the dishes we were served on the table. A super nice touch was the soft drink flight for the driver of the party, as well as the lovely English wine.

We went this evening for the tasting menu. The food was amazing, such thought, care and inspiration is clearly demonstrated by their food. The staff are friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. The wine pairing perfectly complemented the food. I would highly recommend and look forward to going again.

...so it now has a star.....still possibly the most perfect upmarket lunch...miss it at your peril.

A brilliant evening with absolutely fabulous food. The ambiance is perfect both for a romantic evening and with friends. The food was both innovative and delicious. Service was impeccable served by both knowledgeable and friendly professional staff.

Absolutely brilliant delicious 6 course Tasting Menu . The canapés through each course were exquisite worksof food art . Every mouthful sublime . Faultless .

We chose the taster Menu 6 courses. As usual Helen made us very welcome and was very attentive and explained the many wonderful ingredients used. Although we have visited before, there were some subtle changes to some courses highlighting Jon's skills as a top Chef. As my wife is very keen on cooking, we rarely eat out, but this was a real treat for both of us. Our thanks to Helen and Jon.

This was a xmas present from our son, a food experience it certainly was and in a great way. Food was amazing which is the main thing but the staff were fantastic. Knowledge of the food for each course was great and as experience first class.

Been keen to go here for some time and wasn't disappointed. Small restaurant, lovely inside and good atmosphere (some other Michelin stars sites can be almost reverential) Went for 6 curses which was plenty, everything was excellent quality and wonderfully presented. Service was friendly, informal...

If you like fine dining with the level of service you’d expect this is the place. Wonderfully creative tasty fantastic food. I’m lucky enough to have eaten in several Michelin starred restaurants and this is by far my favourite. I’m lucky as I live nearby but I’d certainly travel to eat here! I didn’t take photos as I feel it’s unnecessary!

We were so lucky to be able to feast at Lumiere! From the minute we walked in we were in awe. After a friendly welcome from Helen and her team, we were shown to our table which was tastefully decorated with a white crisp table cloth. From this first impression we knew we were in for a fantastic time! We chose the 6-course taster menu. Every course had a wow-factor deliciously combining cuisine, theatre and story! We love every dish, each one building on the last, but the most favourite mouthful for me was the velvety duck liver parfait encased in white chocolate and gold glitter. Absolute genius!!! We really hope to return again to Lumiere.

Wow is really all you can say about this restaurant as every thing from walking in to leaving is just perfect

It was so bad. The food was kind of good but not that much

My second visit - The food is flawless. Creative and interactive The service was a night at the theatre. Skilful and caring staff worked effortlessly to make us feel like we were the only table, despite every table being booked. Exemplary experience!

The top of the top at Cheltenham. 1 Michelin star, fully deserved. The perfection is at Lumiere, even t In the coffee !

We visited Lumiere last night (8/6/23) for the first time since Jon and Helen were awarded their first Michelin Star and it is no wonder they did!! Since we first started frequenting Lumiere over 14 years ago just after Jon and Helen took over the...

Each and every course of the tasting menu was sumptuous. Particularly recommend the wine course to go alongside it. Special. 8コースのテイスティングメニュー。どれも美味しかった。特に自家製サワードウのパンとデザート2品は最高でした。

Brilliant! This was such a taste sensation. Every course wowed us. The flavours were so intense and the plates were works of art. The waiting staff were excellent as well, friendly and attentive. Well done.

For a special occasion this is worth the money, high end wizardry food with a Michelin star.

We had the 8 course menu, with one dish complimenting the next perfectly, possibly the best dinner we ever had. No wonder the restaurant has just been awarded a Michelin star, what took them so long?!!

Fantastic. Why is it not Michelin?? Food was amazing

This is a fabulous little restaurant. We had a four course lunch which was balanced and tasty. Every course was tasty and a reasonable portion. Highlights were some of the appetisers and the duck. The wine list was good and fairly priced and some nice...

What a wonderful experience. I must admit, my wife and I have never eaten at a Michelin standard restaurant before and when we first arrived we were apprehensive. Before we knew it however, Helen welcomed us and together with Matt and the exceptional chef Jon...

Wow! The best vegetarian food I have ever tasted! We had the six course vegetarian tasting menu and everything from the canapés to the amazing petit fours was superb. The service and venue are friendly and not at all snobby, very informal and relaxed but...

Absolutely beautiful food. Ridiculously good, and such fun. The staff are warm and friendly, taking as much delight in the plates as the customers. For a special occasion, Lumiere cannot be beaten.

Amazing! Always the best service, friendly and professional. Using fresh home grown vegetables along with the best (local) meat, poultry, and fish. Delivered delicious flavours, accommodated gluten-free with ease. So enjoyable! Thanks to Jon, Helen and the team.

My Husband and I visited Lumiere during our honeymoon in the Cotswolds and had an amazing experience. The food was absolutely breathtaking, we loved every course. As foodies, and having dined in fine restaurants all over the country and multiple tasting menus, we hands down...

My husband took me here for my birthday. We had the vegetarian menu. Service, food and atmosphere absolutely fabulous. I cannot find fault in anything. We have rebooked for Christmas Eve lunch. Can’t wait!

The menu is varied and interesting. The execution is exceptional. Every course was delicious, even the foods I wouldn't normally like.

Probably the most perfect restaurant experience; tasteful yet relaxed decor, warm, friendly service and exquisite food. The 8 course tasting menu was sublime. The atmosphere is intimate and comfortable, with tables nicely spaced so you’re not on top of each other. Absolutely perfect in every...

We had the most amazing lunch, Lumiere never disappoints. The food is an experience which takes you on a journey of discovery, a feast for all the senses. The presentation is impeccable but there is substance and reward from every morsel exquisitely placed on the...

Cooking of the highest calibre; easily Michelin star quality but I am not the first to say that. Smoked eel starter was amazing.. Now some nice additions from the owners own produce. We are lucky to have a restaurant like this in Cheltenham.

Gosh, what a treat!! We were invited to eat here by friends for a special occasion and the meal was really, really special and could not be faulted at all. Each course of our 8 course taster menu was perfectly presented and absolutely delicious. Not...

Lovely evening. Excellent food. One of the best restaurants we have experienced. Food presentation, quality of food, and explanation of what we’re eating. We booked as friends had recommended it to us and didn’t check the menu beforehand so each course was a surprise! We...

Thank you for a wonderful lunch, in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, yet again, for cooking me something equally as tasty, equally as beautiful as my husband’s food, but without onions or garlic. I so appreciate real chef’s skills of extraordinary quality.

The moment you walk in through the door you appreciate that Lumiere is sophisticated with an immediate atmosphere of quality. The high quality but understated furnishings, already lit candles on your tables, and attention to detail from Helen and her staff that is second to...

Fantastic food and service, we had a wonderful evening!

What an amazing dining experience. The food and the service! We’ve been to most Michelin starred restaurants from 1 star all the way to 3 stars at Gordon Ramseys. Those are hit and miss but this non-Michelin starred restaurant is one of the best I’ve had, everything was exceptional. We’re from London but will definitely be coming back again sometime

Spent a wonderful few hours in this amazing restaurant this weekend. Service is impeccable, the room is low key and understated but welcoming and the food is just fantastic. We had the four course menu and every dish was interesting, well presented but most of...

What they are doing in this small unit in Cheltenham town centre is very special indeed. The flavours, the creativity, and the sheer artistry on display in the plate presentation needs to be experienced. A sumptuous experience, eight courses with wine pairings, we will never...

Absolutely stunning restaurant. Food amazing with a small but perfect choice of dishes. Attentive but not intrusive service. A winner!

Exceptional food. Relaxed atmosphere with friendly, open service from the owners providing incredible knowledge and detail.

Lumiere consistently delivers in every department with exquisite tasting menus, stunning presentation, charming, knowledgeable service and a relaxed ambience. We enjoyed a superb 6 course lunch to celebrate my husband's birthday including his favourite smoked eel dish and an extra dessert to share, rhubarb souffle....

Came here for a special occasion. Fantastic food! Melt in the mouth. Very special place to eat. Great service too 👌🏻

Excellent food, informative friendly and very knowledgeable, definitely worth a visit

We have been twice now, staff are really attentive and food is delicious. Recommend the tasting menu cant wait to go again. A real treat!

I love this restaurant. This was our 2nd visit and it was just as good as we remembered - if not better. Everything is just right. From the attentiveness of the staff, to the length of time between courses, to the amount of food on...

Possibly the best meal I've ever eaten - I've not done extensive fine dining but it beats the handful of Michelin star places I've been to, hands down. Staff were genuinely warm and friendly.
