The best restaurants in Lansdown Cheltenham South West

We have been regulars at L’Artisan for many years. It was our absolute favourite restaurant and we were devastated when it closed. Yves was a magician in the kitchen; the food was always fabulous and imaginative, the presentation beautiful and the ambience wonderful. Elisabeth always made us very welcome, with hugs and kisses all round, as did Anna, their lovely waitress. It was such a relaxed atmosphere and we loved talking to Yves when he emerged from the kitchen to chat with clients. What shall we do now without you? Lesley & Roger

Tried the 5 course menu one evening at Jonas at GL50. The quality was fantastic, superbly prepared and presented with style and enthusiasm by the chefs themselves. The flavours were intense on every course but not over flavoured. The front of house was also very good. This restaurant deserves to be very successful. My only feedback on changing things was that the wine flight, at £45/head for three small (c125ml) glasses of wine each, we thought excessive. Nice wines but (to us) no more so than the wines we would normally chose in a quality restaurant for £30-£40 for the bottle. I think adding just more one glass of wine so you didn’t need to ‘manage a glass across two savoury courses’ would make the wine flight feel a little better value.

Visited this great little cafe when in Town for New Year’s eve and the Races on New Year’s day. Brunch on NYE and breakfast on New Year’s day. Great food, great service and very reasonably priced- will definitely return

Very tasty breakfast in this welcoming little cafe on a small courtyard off the beaten track in a street of art galleries and boutiques. Coffee was good also - a long black which wasn't too large. Hoping to go back one day for coffee and cake. They also offer afternoon tea.

I got the Pornstar Mootini and it was absolutely stunning! The staff are really friendly, I love the decor, and the alcoholic cocktails are the best! Would definitely recommend coming here with your friends or family!

We took a large group to the restaurant and had a delicious Sri Lankan dinner. Indi was so helpful and provided less spicy dishes for some of our guests so that everybody was happy. We took our own wine as the restaurant is waiting for a licence. I also sometimes have a simple lunch with friends at the restaurant and it is always a success. I would recommend it for both the British (lunchtime) and Sri Lankan dishes.

Firstly the food was amazing, no queries whatsoever, the service I’d have preferred to be quicker but can’t complain really, and the atmosphere was good only downside for me, is when we went it was raining and there could have been more sheltered areas however when the weather is good it seems to be a lovely place

We so hope this delightful couple survive in the very competitive sphere of Cheltenham eateries. They more than deserve their place in the list of "must go to" restaurants. It's not a see and be seen place, but if you love good Italian cooking, you will be happy to find this place.

This has to be one of the finest bakery firms in the area. All fresh produce every day until sold out - go early to avoid disappointment. Not unusual for there to be a big queue. The pastries are wonderful but calorific as anything. Delicious selection of breads.

Excellent B&B.; Lovely hosts and delicious breakfasts. Rooms full of character and very comfortable. Thoroughly recommended.

LA Smokehut serves up generous portions of classic American barbecue. The barbecue burnt ends are dark and rich, just as they should be. The brisket is meltingly tender and the animal fries, well they were a meal in themselves. The only surprise was that the place wasn't busier. Definitely worth going there before word gets out.

An innovative menu with high quality ingredients attractively presented by the chef. The staff are very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable about the dishes and the wines. Looking forward to our next visit.

I'm ordering from them regularly and that's the only place that never fails me through years!! In delivery most important aspects for me is food being hot and fresh from proper pizza and past is always a case!! Sometimes asking them to add more chillies for example and is always there👌 Me favourite is taco fries 😋 if someone like kind of loaded fries. That's must try.. highly recommended. Keep doing good job proper pizza and pasta

Found this gem in the middle of town by chance. Didn't even notice there was a restaurant there. I'm so so glad me and my wife decided to give it a go. The staff gave as a very warm welcome and offer us a set menu for our lunch that was extremely tasty, very well presented and at a really good price for the quality of the food. Thank you so much Ilias and Delilah for everything. Definitely we'll be back shortly. Need more places like this in Cheltenham
