Michael's Mediterranean Restaurant in Cotswold

Wonderful atmosphere with a varied menu. The black pork was exceptionally good. Definitely on my list of places to visit again.

What a lovely restaurant!! Great fresh and tasty food, lovely staff and ambience. 🙌🏻Regularly enjoy stopping here for breakfast and the dinner is superb too! I’m GF and DF but the chef always goes to great lengths to make my food delicious. The waiting staff are so friendly and polite too. A real credit to the little town of Chipping Campden. Keep up the excellent service and delicious food, thank you 🤩

What a wonderful little restaurant. Authentic, delicious and fresh food, very friendly staff and a warm ambiance. The brunch was so delicious and made specially as requested GF and DF so thank you, very tasty. The restaurant then transforms into a lovely cosy evening night spot, love the fresh fish! It’s a very special little gem of a place in the beautiful town of Chipping Campden. 🙌🏻🥰

Food really nothing special. Very ordinary starter, main courses were very dry, baklava dessert was awful. Wouldn't eat here again in a hurry.

Wedding anniversary celebration. Liked the intimate, busy atmosphere. Warm reception, and quickly shown menus. Had sharing Greek starter; absolutely delicious. Had a main from the very good “Specials Board”; cod cheeks in tomato sauce and herb rice. Very good indeed. My wife had the squewered chicken with salad and chips. Drinks very reasonably priced. No room for a pudding. Excellent.

Really Good pizza and Fried Chicken 😋

Superb discovery. Excellent food and very friendly welcome

Always piping hot and delicious.

Food was really well cooked and presented, very true to origin of the dishes. Great flavours and nice touches with the appetisers and digestives

The best chicken kebab ever salad was lovely and fresh will defo order from here again

I normally use Mediterranean thanks.

The vegetarian food don’t have many options so ordered mousakka for dinner which was too cheesy and oily for me personally. Beetroot salad was just fine. May be I chose the wrong dish but overall the staff was pleasant.

I probably picked wrong on the food. Was not over excited about the selection and kind of guessed. Cannot say I enjoyed the food but the pricing was reasonable. Maybe a bit more help when selecting from the menu might be useful.

Always friendly always hot food

Nice seafood plate, warm welcome. Price is acceptable for UK standard. Small lovely restaurant, you can sit in the room, or opened area in the back. I recomended white wine mussel, Garlic prawn, grilled seabeam.

Fantastic tapas lunch, which was delicious. The restaurant is very charming and the staff were friendly and very helpful. We would definitely return if we are in the area and would wholeheartedly recommend.

Lovely place - really good food.

Had a great breakfast of avocado toast and eggs Benedict. Cozy little shop with good coffee, friendly service and very good food.

Despite being local this was my first visit fit many years. I can with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We sat in the delightful small ‘secret garden’ at the side. Cannot fault the food which was delicious. I had the octopus Galicia (having had this many times in Spain). It was superb probably the best I have ever had. The rest of the meal was great too. The service was attentive and smooth and Reuben was helpful and ready to chat about food and wine as the evening became less busy. We had a wonderful time thank you .

It was busy for. Tuesday night which can perhaps explain why the service was so terribly slow. We sat in the covered area in the back and saw lots of teenagers rushing back and forth with plates, but our table rarely got a visit. The food when it arrived was very average to poor. The Mediterranean prawns were swimming in butter, but they had presumably been frozen or overcooked or both because they were so tough. Such a shame - we can hear a few years ago and had a great meal. We won’t return for a third helping.

Quality food and drinks. Perfect for a birthday celebration with friends.

Excelente comida . Ambiente agradable y acogedor con una terraza muy agradable y personal amable y profesional. Nosotros llevamos dos años viniendo a Chipping campden de vacíaciones y nunca faltamos a nuestra cita en Michael’s Pablo, nos hace sentir como en casa.

This restaurant trades on the good name and reputation of the previous owner who ran a proper business. It now seems to be run by some youngsters who were rude, unhelpful and arrogant. £9 for a basket of bread to mop up the sauce with our mussels which was needed because they only gave us one piece to start with. Food was very average for the price. Avoid at all costs.

We came here as a party of 13, so we were in touch quite a bit beforehand sorting out our booking. Super helpful and quick replies on email. We all had excellent meals, highlights were suckling pig and moussaka. We sat outside in the covered terrace which was great for our large group. We were served by Esme all evening who was great, she was very attentive and looked after us all very well - thank you!

What a lovely place...Booked for our 25th wedding anniversary (quite late...which is because I was in charge of booking somewhere), and Kala accommodated us at short notice. We chose to sit on the covered terrace, given the weather was so nice. First impressions when you arrive is you feel like you are in another country, gives off great Mediterranean taverna vibes. We were greeted and shown to our seat by a lovely chap called Reuben, who looked after us all night, I have to say, he was really pleasant, very attentive, and did a great job. So, on to the food, the menu is really good and they have specials also, we opted for Moules Mariniere & Halloumi Pitta for starters, which we didn't have to wait too long for...and they were amazing. I have to say that the Moules were THE BEST I have ever tasted, I could have eaten about 10 portions (which by the way, for starters, are a decent size). Mains, we had the Filetto Marathona (Fillet Steak !), and Rib-Eye in Spanish Blue Cheese from the specials. Both came with a generous portion of delicious fries and salad and amazingly tasty char grilled peppers, and again the mains didn't disappoint. Both cooked perfectly, amazingly tasty, quite simply good quality, fresh, tasty food. We ended the meal with a couple of cocktails, which topped the evening off, but I have to say from the minute we arrived, through the whole evening, to when we left, we never felt rushed, drinks were served quickly, food arrived at the perfect times, and the setting is wonderful. I cannot give anything less than a top rating, as this is how you would want to be looked after at a very well run and quality restaurant. Will definitely be back, and if you are ever in the North Cotswolds area, then try and pay them a visit as it is well worth it !!

Great meal couldnt eat it all really enjoyed it 😋

Lovely food great outside terrace and very friendly staff

We had a lovely meal, the food was excellent and the staff were lovely. The menu wasn't as extensive as on line but maybe that was because it was lunch time.

After reading all the amazing reviews, I was really looking forward to the meal at Michael’s, however I was left feeling disappointed. The servers were very polite and warm, so that was a good start. For starters we ordered the Greek salad and meatballs. The service was very very slow. The meatballs were average. We returned the Greek salad as it was 90% tomatoes and didn’t taste very nice. We got the beetroot salad instead which was delicious, 10/10 for that. They charged us for the Greek salad, saying there was nothing wrong with it but it was just due to our preference that we didn’t like it. That’s just poor customer service. I didn’t think it was great and wouldn’t be going back there again.

We had a lovely warm welcome when entering the restaurant and were taken to our table. The outside terrace area although very small had a nice atmosphere with background music. Our waiter Rubin was an asset to the restaurant, extremely professional, attentive and lovely to speak to, he made our night 🤗 We had tiger prawns to start really nice and the then steaks. Food was very nice. Would highly recommend. 🥰

We came on a bad day. Lady in charge on the phone for ages. 3 couples waiting, one outside. Lots of confusion in tiny kitchen, run by 2 very young staff I was ill’ I don’t recommend it. It’s got lots of good reviews which do not represent what we experienced.

Not knowing the area, we would never have found here without walking round Chipping Campden and looking at all the restaurant menu options. Michaels was recommended to us by a friend of a relation and we were so pleased that it was. In fact we ate here twice during our stay. This restaurant is small and serves Mediterranean food with a great choice of dishes. 1st time we ate inside where the ambience was of a small Greek/Italian/French style of bistro. The 2nd time we were sat outside. The outside seating area is fully covered but felt a little cramped for our taste. Food quality is high, portion sizes are good but service is a tad, how can I say it ….. ‘mediterranean”. Would we go back - Yes but will ask for an inside table.

Haven't ordered before but everything was piping hot wedges where gorgeous, jacket potato was lovely and my garlic bread yummy

Outstanding restaurant, good food, good service , good atmosphere and good value.

Managed to get a table here on the day in the outside space. It was a bit drizzly, so they had the roof and heaters on, very cosy. Customer service was excellent and the food was very good! Would definitely recommend.

A birthday treat for me and I love a great steak so Michael’s is a safe but great choice as we’ve been on quite a few occasions over the last few years and it never disappoints. We were served by a young girl with glasses (maybe Tara) who was relatively new but very attentive and very helpful (well done whoever employed her) and the whole evening was lovely. My wife also had the steak and I had extra blue cheese sauce and Parmesan on the fries. Just superb. Lovely atmosphere, great food again. Thank you Michaels.

Amazing food with lots of options for all awkward dietary requirements. The staff were extremely accommodating and patient. Nice small spot so the atmosphere is very relaxed and it’s not too loud.

This was one of the best meals we’ve had on our trip to England!! Everything tasted so fresh and good quality and was so delicious. We sat outside in their “secret garden” area and it was perfect! Even though it was a bit chilly out & they had blankets ready to go at every seat & heaters as well. The servers were all so kind and helpful. Everything was perfect! I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Great option for dining in Chipping Campden when you tire of pub grub.

Really enjoyed our early evening dinner. Great menu, excellent meals- all 4 of us- great service 👍🏻 😀

Excellent service, friendly staff and delicious food.

Excellent food, first time eating here but definitely come here again.

Once again a delightful evening with our family. The service was just enough attention, food was delicious and atmosphere is lush

It’s a pretty little restaurant with a friendly team of servers, but I found the moussaka very bland, inedibly so. Having raised this, I was informed that the chef’s response was ‘this is how we make it’ and I was charged the full £18 for a dish I’d barely touched. At the very least, a conversation about a discount should have been an option. It was badly handled.

Authentic spanish and greek restaurant. Staff were very knowledgeable. Food had lots of flavor. Ambience was great and overall we had a lovely evening

Pleasant place. Service attentive without being too much. Food was good rather than spectacular.

Very nice restaurant with a good ambience !!

This is a lovely little restaurant situated in the centre of Chipping Campden. You definitely have to book because it is quite small inside. The service was great, as was the food. There were too many options to choose from! There were also specials on the board. We took our dog in with us too, I had checked beforehand that he was allowed in. Worth a visit!

We booked a table on Monday. The staff were helpful and warned us that the portions were sizeable as we don't like food waste. We shared the starter of the jambon croquettes and we both had the chicken and chorizo cassoulet. The cassoulet was amazing with two chicken breast fillets and tons of chorizo. It was certainly a challenge to finish. We were both full and although the desserts looked delicious and tempting, we couldn't fit another thing. The next day, we couldn't see any other restaurant that we fancied so we went back to Michael's. Fore warned, we just had four starters: the Octopus , beetroot salad, jambon croquettes and the Moules marinière. We weren't disappointed with our choices. The Octopus was perfectly cooked and not chewy, the salad was light and tasty and the mussels were very generous. I cannot recommend Michael's enough. Delicious food, friendly staff and a great choice of Mediterranean food. Booking is recommended as they get full very quickly. Dogs are welcome

Excellent service from the staff. Delicious food and a great atmosphere. Can't wait to come by again!

Lovely dinner with my husband, everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were very friendly. Thank you, we will be back.

Dined as a family, We Booked and arrived for the earlier sitting, were shown to a table immediately and promptly served drinks then food. We ordered the Galician Octopus and Croquettes for starters, then went to the Kleftiko, Moussaka, Burger and Fish. After a delicious meal we shared a few desserts. Amazing food and atmosphere, great staff as well.

We regularly meet friends and this was, by far, our favourite place to meet. We had delicious meals and loved the halloumi pittas and salad. The Greek sausages were amazing. The choice of wine and cocktails was impressive. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed and we did not feel at all rushed. We took home some delicious cakes. We will definitely be returning!

will defo be back some friends and i went for a meal and were thoroughly impressed, as a starter we had garlic prawns off the specials board and the meatballs, i have never had such fresh prawns in england before. as mains we had a sirloin steak cooked to perfection and i cannot recommend the peppercorn sauce enough, the pork ribs fell off the bones, the burger was thick and juicy. for dessert we had churros and the freshly made rich dipping chocolate was delicious. the staff were attentive, they wiped away mess from the prawns off the table, cleared empty bottles. a memorable evening for all and will be back in the future!

In all my years of visiting a eatery both abroad and the UK have i never been told to wait outside in the pouring rain while the staff prepare the table. After we came back for our sitting it was evident the establishment is too small to cater for parties of more than 9 comfortably along with other diners coming in I and others felt hemmed in. There was something badly wrong with the customer service in that when we finished each course at least 15 minutes elapsed before the plates were removed and that only happened when we made the request. The food was mediocre at best and one of the diners moussaka bore no resemblence to any that i have seen or eaten. Last but not least i never got my coffee.

I’ve always wanted to try this restaurant, but despite visits to several popular villages in that area, we’ve only briefly driven through Chipping Campden once without stopping due to a torrential downpour, so on seeing the promise of a sunny day, we booked lunch. The menu is mainly Greek, and a hint of Spanish, with a good selection of fish and other dishes, including vegetarian. After checking the “All Day Mains” on the online sample menu, and a nice walk around town, we took a table on the rear outside terrace and I was looking forward to trying the Beef Stifado in a rich sauce with herbed rice, or the Duck Breast in Pedro Ximinez wine jus. Unfortunately, it seems these dishes were not served during lunch, and I don’t recall seeing a couple of other dishes, the Lamb Tagine or Fileto Marathona I’d have tried either. Nevertheless, I chose the less exotic option of rare breed Gloucestershire sirloin served with skinny fries and steak garni & seasonal salad. I’m not a fan of skinny fries but they were nice and crispy which I liked. The steak was very nice and perfectly rare as requested, although it would have been even better if the fat had been rendered a little more. My wife decided to try something other than fish for a change, and asked about the Vegetable Moussaka, wanting a small portion as she hates seeing a full plate (strange woman!) but was told it was quite large and this wasn’t possible due to how it’s made and served, so she fell back on the fish, choosing the Butterflied Sea Bass in a fisherman’s sauce (smoked paprika, garlic, parsley, white wine, and olive oil), confit thyme potatoes and buttered cavolo nero. She really liked this (despite it being a full plate???) so was very glad she had it. Similarly, her dessert of Baileys Affogato with a shot of espresso went down a treat, but mine, the Mango Cheesecake with passion fruit sorbet and fresh berries was truly delicious. It didn’t look like the usual cheesecake slice, but was served in a bowl and the mango topping was a more of a sauce and it tasted lovely. The food was really good and reasonably priced but I’d check before booking lunch if having a specific dish is important to you, or go for dinner.

Top Notch !!! Highly recommended!!!

Small restaurant but big results! Food is amazing with great service! We will be back.

This is a gem of a Bistro in Chipping Campden with views out to the Honeycombed cottages . The two young Front of House staff were excellent , friendly , efficient and professional. We both had moussaka which was delicious washed down with a lovely house Malbec Thank you 😊 10/10

Small, cute restaurant. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly and pleasant. The food is generous and well presented. A small and cute restaurant. The atmosphere is good and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is plentiful and well presented.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Top quality fresh fish and seafood and great value for money. Very varied menu combined with plenty of specials. The desserts are different level and all home made to include the ice cream. A real treat and a must when in the area. Will definitely return. Thanks for today!

Fresh and top quality produced food with great and attentive staff. Really good value. Selection of wines really good too. Many noticeable touches that it makes the place very welcoming and cozy. Easy to tell that it is superbly managed!

Great for a treat night . Sorry no pictures, it wasn’t the vibe, but rest assured you won’t be disappointed by the atmosphere, food or service

Bijou restaurant (18 covers), Attentive service, amazing food, complimented with h a great selection of cocktails and wine list. A must place to try if you’re in the area, or make the effort to drive there if you’re not!

We had a lunch there. Small restaurant but really nice food. The burger is huge and so juicy.

This restaurant puts all others to shame. The food and drink was the best ever!! The granola was lovely and sweet, the hot chocolate was velvety and sweet. And it’s all thanks to Julia. I would come here again since the last time i came here was when i was 4

We were in the area with our (very well behaved) dog and popped in on a Monday evening. We had no reservation but were made to feel very welcome. It’s not a big restaurant but very pleasant and warm. The waiter was very friendly and when asked was happy to give recommendations. The menu was varied with options for all. The food was delicious and very well presented. The red wine was also fab and served at room temperature. I would recommend this friendly reasonably priced restaurant to anyone although probably best to book in advance at weekends as it is not big. Top marks from a very happy customer.

Pizza Perfect as always 👍 mixed kebab was good too

Beautiful location, fantastic friendly and efficient service, good menu, super generous portions. This is a tiny place with probably only 24 covers, so book ahead as it’s popular, due presumably to its status on Tripadvisor. It is slightly incongruous to its surroundings but a refreshing change to eat Mediterranean food and take a break from pub grub in this area.

What a fabulous meal with the best experience! Ruben, our server, was a delight and very attentive. The food was delicious, and the ambience perfect! Best meal we’ve had in the Cotswolds this trip! We couldn’t have asked for more!

Great food and friendly service

We had a delivery last week and it was amazing!! 5 stars. Had it again tonight and it was disappointing. The food was cold, the meat was dry and tasted like it had been left out for hours. Such a shame as it was so good last week - perhaps it’s because they’re busier on a Friday. Cold good, dry crusty meat, limp salad - not sure we’ll order again now

Pizza was perfect for me! I am a regular customer and you guys make the best pizza. Thank you

Perfect pizza as always! Thank you

Visited on New year's eve around lunch time whilst exploring the area and we were so lucky they had a table for us. The food was to die for and the service was brilliant. Really wish I didn't live 3.5 hours away!!

Small little restaurant but very well organised so you don’t feel packed in. Great tasty food, but very large portions. Food was really good so felt bad not eating it all. Great friendly knowledgeable staff who were very good all night. Good choice of wine and cocktails.

Great food and beautiful setting. Looking forward to next visit!

Great food & great atmosphere! First time visiting from NY and we’ll definitely be back.

What a lovely atmospheric restaurant. The food was authentic, fresh and delicious. The staff were professional and friendly. I couldn’t recommend it enough. Excellent value and the best Mediterranean food I have had since visiting the Greek islands where I experienced amazing Greek meals. .

Was late arriving but as always, pizza is perfect and worth the wait. Driver was courteous and very polite , food was hot. Still the best pizza.

Wife's food stone cold and kebab meat was like leather.. covered in chilli sauce and not sweet chilli as ordered. Been using for years but second time in a row that one of the meals was utter rubbish. Won't be ordering again!

Exceptional! Food, service and atmosphere were faultless. Managed to get an early table and so glad we booked on our way past. Highly recommend, so much choice on menu and specials board! Thank you for an excellent meal.

Lamb and sardine specials were great, so nice to find some variety to the usual sub par pub or curry options.

Just had a wedding celebration meal with Michael's and could not have received better food or service. Brilliant. Thank you.

Majestic little place. Very cosy and welcoming.

Awful Moussaka, dry, bland and difficult to find any aubergines within this dish. Not even on one occasion was I asked if everything was okay. My only choice of dessert wasn't available. I paid up and left, not that any worker seemed bothered. Shame, it looked a nice quaint restaurant upon entering but shall not be returning.

Really lovely restaurant, superb food and the personal touch that's often missing. Definitely worth a visit.

Dissapointed food barely warm onion rings so overcooked couldn't eat them

First visit here and certainly won't be the last. Premises full of charm, plus huge bonus that it was cosy & warm inside on such a freezing evening. Food was outstanding, matched by great service. Well done Michael's...

We chose this for a family get together and were very impressed with service and excellent food. Good choices on the menu.

Stepped out of the Cotswolds and into a real taste of the Med. Great decor, good food, friendly vibe - that sense that 'nothing' too much trouble'. And interesting menu. Lovely outdoor seating area to try again in summery climes.

Always happy to order from here. Food and service consistently excellent. They also always 'lightly cook' my pizza's which makes all the difference to me and is much appreciated, thank you!

This is a lovely cosy Greek restaurant especially if you enjoy Greek food, however they did not play any Greek music at all. The background music was a load of rubbish and spoilt the Greek feel. Food was lovely, however my Feta & Hallomi Saganiki was much too salty and I couldn't eat any of it. The other meals that friends had were lovely, enjoyable and eaten.

The food was horrible. And really cold

Tasty kebab... generous portions.

This is a great restaurant in the village of Chipping Camden. It was packed and we were glad we had a reservation. The food and drinks were great. I had the lamb tagine which came with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, and a wonderful tagine sauce....

There is not much I can say about this beautiful restaurant other than exceptional !!! The quality of food, the menu and drinks choice were so good. We ate here two nights in a row, the fish is something to behold absolutely outstanding. I also...

End of our week’s break in the Cotswolds and we managed to get a table here. The service was great (thanks Reuben front of house) and the food was excellent. We had Pincho Murono (chicken skewer) and Hake poached in coconut milk with chilli and...

We were staying locally for the weekend and wanted a romantic birthday dinner. We cannot fault the food, it was fantastic. My partner had moussaka and I had the halloumi stack which were really tasty. Make sure you leave room for dessert my partner said...

Chicken kebab was really fatty and donner kebab was hard. Also changed kebab box size so now you get less
