Toro Lounge in Cotswold

As soon as I walked in I realised this place had the feel of the Cosy Club chain of restaurants. Pictures all over the walls, mostly portraits, a very young team of staff, and a slight atmosphere of contrived cosiness. Really busy though, so obviously very popular, and there is at least the superficial snugness of a Victorian coffeehouse. I ordered a latte, which was mediocre - it arrived in less than a minute after ordering, which led me to believe that perhaps its preparation had been a little slap-dash. The waitress seemed pleasant enough, if a little vacant, so I would guess the coffee-making training had been insufficient, rather than a careless attitude.

Great variety of brunch options funky atmosphere and friendly service. Can't wait to come back

Lovely place. Huge selection of food and drink and very tasty

We stopped here for a light breakfast. It was one of the few places I have been where all the staff were on the same page. Each customer was greeted on arrival with a smile, seating options and asked if there were any food allergies needing consideration. Children, dogs, everyone was welcomed with the same warmth. We needed to be quick and our server checked when our order was likely to arrive, bringing it to our table even quicker than anticipated. The place was clean and had a very relaxed atmosphere even though there was a constant stream of customers arriving. Highly recommended.

Another tasty meal at a Lounge in a relaxed atmosphere perfect for a stop off from Market Harborough on the way to Bath. Should we return to Cirencester, then I'm confident we'll return to Toro Lounge. If the weather is good, there's a, roof terrace you can sit out on

Stopped for lunch, The food was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. Staff polite and smiley, enjoyed it.

Called in again tonight. Food excellent again. Good service and great atmosphere.

Always a good spot for breakfast, varied menu and good service.

Very tasty food and great service. Nice atmosphere.

Loved my mezze salad here - very filling and tasty. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options too.

We've been in quite a few Lounges and know we can trust the quality of the food and quantity in the plates, so popped to Toro tonight to check it out. Good food, though Nasi goreng's flavour was a bit overpowering. Great choice for gluten-free foods and quick service.

Quick and friendly service, food was lovely. Atmosphere wasn't great but I did pop in for a lunch mid week. Maybe better Atmosphere in the evening or at weekends!

They catered for 15 of us (pre-ordered). Food (promptly delivered) and service was excellent. Lovely atmosphere, with an upstairs terrace, if wanted.

Really tasty lunch. Great atmosphere. Friendly service. Wish we'd come here years ago!

It's always full of funky music and atmosphere. Menu is great and allergy advice taken very seriously.

Very Loungey Bar Restaurant Vibe Supper Helpful Service Lushington

An other great venue in this brand of restaurant Nicely located to the centre of Cirencester , great coffee and food in a relaxed atmosphere The Miami brunch is my go to meal in this chain

Food was amazing! I’d had a hard day and one particular server, Misty, was incredibly sweet and such an amazing waitress.

Had a takeaway cowboy bugger. Once opened at home container was full of grease and uneatable. £16.50 for that. Never again

As a group we have been here 3 times now. So really don't understand why the take out is so vile compared to what's served in take out. Even my fox wouldn't eat it. The amount of grease in the container 😨 really £16.50 for something not eatable. Staff great hope owners realise their worth. spent £100s. Sort this. If next team building is there I WILL NOT be there

Lovely Miami breakfast. Service was great, the waiter was friendly and chatty

Nice place for a coffee and flapjack. Very friendly.

Amazing service, if you are gluten intolerant this place is for you. Special menu with many foods to choose from.

It's okay, food is a little expensive and you can probably find better in Cirencester. But it's clean and the staff are friendly.

Food was decent! Plenty of in and outdoor ish seatings on 1st floor. Gets pretty busy in the evening with queue/ short wait time.

Really nice branch of the lounge restaurant chain in beautiful Cirencester. The lunch special was surprisingly delicious and at a very reasonable price too! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and seating on two floors with a small terrace as well.

This place is super cozy! The food was delicious and service was great! You order online which allows plenty of time for thinking, and then the servers deliver it to your table. Big fan!

Lovely terrace to sit and enjoy coffee.

Very nice. Treat me and Remus very well.

Food is always good at Lounges, Toro was no different. Great service, really like the ordering process and value for money. Many thanks!

Came for food ad drinks with my partner the other day, and the service was top notch great team with good banta. Food came out quick and to a great standard and the cocktails are to die for the betty blue was my favourite. Thank you the everyone at Toro who made date night with my partner a good one! Will definitely be coming back.

Came in Monday for the Quiz night. Food and drinks were absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately myself and my husband had breakfast a toro yesterday and we have had food poisoning ever since for the last 24 hours. Not what I expected so we are very disappointed. How hard is it to get an English breakfast right and cook it well following proper food prep practices. Very disappointed and won’t be going back there

The BEST chicken wings I have ever had! If you like a bit of spice go for the Sriachha but ask for extra sesame seeds! This was unreal!! 👌

Lovely atmosphere. We like to visit this place with our family. There are board games available if kids get bored. Food: if you are meat eater, vegetarian or vegan it is a great place. Restaurant has a great selection of food. Lots of choices so you can come here often and choose something different each time. Food quality is not the greatest comparing to a different places but taste good and I enjoyed it. Service is always lovelt. I like the fact that there is printed separet menu for vegans or vegetarians. Price is afordable. It is a really easy going, chill out place with a cool ambient. 👍

A great little gem. Friendly and attentive staff. We had burgers. They were delicious. Except for the coleslaw that tasted old and there were some mysterious pieces of something on my fries 🍟 😳

Decent food. Nice place to eat.

Great place to go for a bit of brunch - We went with our family and did not disappoint! Will definitely come back and already looking forward to it!!

Maybe selecting Average is a bit harsh. Just felt it didn't quite make it to a Very Good. A terrace upstairs which was pleasant in the nice weather. Food was good (some of the food could have been a tad hotter TBH). Service was good. Location good etc. So...all good. I did find myself thinking the wait seemed a bit long (think was just over 30 minutes). So really not too unreasonable. There was a guy smoking as well. Funny how times change but both myself and my daughter felt this was 'not right' when having food. TBH I thought this was illegal (but maybe it isn't). Boff.

Regularly use for brunch breakfast, coffee and cake when in town. Friendly helpful staff and nice atmosphere. Wide selection of tasty meals.

fab place, lovely food and mocktails delicious

The food was stone cold and undercooked.

I tried bang bang Chicken and it was great and more than what I expected! Best place to chill out for all types of customers :)

The whole experience is incredible. Favourite place to go for food when in the town

Lovely place with a good atmosphere

Good food but some things we tried weren't that great, friendly staff and a quiet environment.

Great food and great service. Will Defo be back

Usually really nice, unique ambiance, lovely staff, but lately a little hit and miss with food!

Great place for an informal bite to eat, kids & dogs very much welcome..

Great place for food reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Decor is lovely.

Great place, and the staff could not have been more helpful. Even brought water and biscuits for our dog.

My favourite spot to go for food, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Such a beautiful location, and the ambience fits this. They have a help yourself water station which is a lovely touch. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I had the soup of the day, which was a tomato and red pepper soup. It was delicious!! The bread to go with it was amazing as well, as well as the sweet potato fries I had on the side. Was a very reasonable price as well, as I find everything in the lounge to be. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Love this place. The food here never fails to impress me. So full of flavour and so different to other restaurants. I had the Miami Brunch and it was amazing.

Five stars as usual for Lounge :)

Visited for breakfast and was really impressed! One lady in particular who was on the bar and seemed high up was very lovely and attentive! Food was delicious and we will be back!

In Cirencester on business and called in for a meal. Excellent

All the lounges are a solid and safe place to go. Food is always reasonably priced and good and staff are always friendly.

Love it there - nice interesting Menu and great helpful Staff.....!

Lovely place, food was great and staff were really friendly. We will definitely be going back.

Quiet place for a coffee, snack or light meal. Friendly staff, service a little slow, choice of cakes etc limitted

Love the food at toros always open when others are closed between 3 and 5pm so I always get a few tapas and enjoy the flavours

Excellent venue. Food was great, decor was superb and everywhere was spotless, including the toilets

Saturday in Cirencester can be a bit busy so finding somewhere to walk in for lunch is not always easy so for no other reason that they had a table available we found ourselves in Toro Lounge. What a lucky find, it was spot on. I had a Lounge Breakfast and it was one of the best I have eaten, the bacon was delicious. They were busy but the drinks came very quickly and the food shortly afterwards. Service was friendly the pricing competitive, what's not to like?

Delicious bacon sandwich and great Mocha coffee, excellent. The staff were all friendly and efficient and I look forward to my next visit!

There is a lovely atmosphere in Toro Lounge, especially at night times. Food is of a high standard and staff members are helpful and clear tables and serve in quick times.

A decent eal, good beers and a pleasant atmosphere who accept dogs 😀

Food was nice. Service very slow.

Really extensive menu with reasonable prices, all the food we had (breakfast) was delicious.

Came in this evening for a something to eat after shopping with my daughter. Greeted at the door straight away by a friendly, welcoming face. Service was wonderful, the person who brought us our food and drinks, Jason, was extremely helpful and could not do anymore to make us feel welcome. Food was hot and delicious, cocktails were perfect! We will definitely be back!

Nothing really special here, except the lap shades which defy description. Do check ,'em out!

charlie served me, such polite service and super fast!!

Lovely place. Great menu. Super atmosphere. Definitely recommend and would return when next in Cirencester.

Amazing food as always! Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. But our waiter (Charlie) really made our experience, so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed so a massive thank you to him!

Terrible food, dirty table and disinterested staff. Won't be back. That's cauliflower by the way...

Great lunch, very helpful and efficient service, loved it!

Really great atmosphere in here and the staff are attentive, but not overly so like some places. Excellent variety of dishes on the menu. The two we had were delicious - well cooked, presented and seasoned. Couldn't fault it. Will definitely go back. 23/10/2023 we've been back several times and the above review still holds true. Menu had changed a little bit, but still has our favourites on there.

We have visited a number of times previously, and have enjoyed our visits. Following today it wouldn’t be top of my list to hurry back. They were incredibly busy, but they had a table outside on the terrace, luckily a lovely sunny October day. The menu was via a QR code, which worked on my phone, but not my friend’s. Once ordered there a long wait for the hot drinks to arrive. My matcha arrived initially with the additional ingredient of a hair (the other drinks were fine). When I questioned whether it was a hair with the waitress denied it, and only accepted it when I fished it out. My new matcha returned (hairless), but was lumpy and not pleasant to drink. There was a long wait for food, they were busy so that was understandable. 2/3 meals were delivered earlier than the remaining meal, to the extent that I thought mine had been forgotten about (and had to steal a hash brown). Mine arrived a good 5 minutes later, after my friends were well through their meals, with no apology. The cutlery I was given was also dirty and needed to be swapped for clean. It appeared to be a common theme with food delays today, as I heard the waitress apologise to another two tables. Her delivery needs some improvement, as she sounded, insincere and uninterested. The meals itself was fine. The Miami breakfast and large breakfast both had good presentation, and were tasty. The Nasi Goreng wasn’t too appealing to look at but was tasty enough and plentiful. The serving staff could do with some lessons in etiquette, as I don’t appreciate people adjusting themselves (at eye level) before serving me my food. The dress of one of the staff looked liked pyjamas and incredibly scruffy. Such a shame!

Friendly service, very clean, roof top terrace if wanting some air, nicely decorated.

order for takeaway the chips had small portions which was ridiculous and the bacon and cheese burger was creasy and cold the hallumi burger was cold the brownie was also cold and hard no happy with it at all

A pleasent lunchtime experience with my daughter. Just wish there was a better waiter/waitress experience, such as someone to take our order at the table, so that we could talk about the food and what to expect.

I’m a regular customer here and have never had a bad experience, super friendly sweet chatty staff and great food, should venture out and try new places but the food and atmosphere is just so good for the price!

Good service and good food, would definitely go there again

Some of the friendliest servers I have ever met. Fantastic food especially for vegetarians. A must visit if you are in the area

Great food, great atmosphere, friendly staff.

Dropped in for a quick bite and drink. All the staff spoke, ensured we were happy and were effortlessly efficient. Tapas was perfect.

Nice friendly staff .Good food .efficient service.

Great with allergies. Good food selection. I didn't have to wait long. Easy to find. Typical lounges decor and a reliable place to arrange to meet for lunch

The manager at this restaurant is extremely rude. She threw away my drink that I’d paid for, and did not refund me.

Popped in for breakfast as you know what you're getting in a loungers. Food was freshly cooked and piping hot all served by friendly staff. Highly recommended 😋

Mejor llamar antes de ir..he perdido la ida tres veces..no se cumple el horario

Friendly Staff, Out of this world Food, Nice Vibe I would personally recommend the pasta, Noodle and fried chicken dishes if your a first timer and too be honest I had my doubts about the place at first. But I have to say I came out very satisfied with my meal. Would 100% Recommend.

Super friendly staff, lovely decor, good selection of beers. Food is good, not great, but good enough. Go for a Pub Quiz, they're fun. Recommended.

Very good food and a bit different. A refreshing change.

Lovely quirky atmosphere. Great tasting food with quick service. Could do with more people on the bar though.

Great food. We had the tapas and they were delicious. The service was super quick and the atmosphere was great.

Plenty of gluten free options available. Good breakfast, fast and friendly service.

Lovely place to meet with a wide range in menu and the food was fantastic. A friend met us there as it's his favourite place to eat and I see why

Great place , if you come from other town massive car park just 3 minutes walk. Located in town centre. Nice coctails, think there was a deal for coctails as well. Food very nice, and prices was very good. Interior is amazing absolutely love places like these. Highly recommended 👌

We found the atmosphere a problem here. Staff were not particularly engaged with us, so we ended up choosing another venue. It just seemed too hard for them. We may have come at a bad time as we were off peak. The menu was varied and seemed to have some options.

Lovely lunch with colleagues. Everyine enjoyed their food. An amazing selection to choose from. I had a herby chicken, avocado and bacon salad with a side of sweet potato fries. Really yummy and came quite quickly. My only issue was the sweet potato fries were a little bit cold. But it wouldnt put me off and we will visit again
