The best restaurants in Bourton-on-the-Water Cotswold South West

We visited Bourton-on-the-Water with a tour group. Our guide suggested lunch at The Den when I said I had to find gluten free options. It's a very small place for carry out but the food is spectacular. You can basically choose any sandwich filling from the many selections on the board.. and they will put it on a GF bagel. I got the Pesto Chicken and it was one fo the best GF sandwiches I've ever had. Seriously! My husband got tuna and cucumber on a baguette. We ate our lunch out on the small tables next to the shop. The owner was so friendly and the whole experience was wonderful. We highly recommend.

Amazing drinks, made quickly and very high quality! Shame we didn't live closer as I would be a regular visitor. A small gem, not to be missed!

I came here having read all the great reviews online and it lived up to expectations! the wraps were delicious and huge and the guys were really friendly! CASH ONLY.

We had a really delicious meal here, absolutely the tastiest in all of Bourton! The staff was very friendly and could help with selecting beers. Nice atmosphere, good price and top staff.

Lovely coffee house. Really friendly staff and owners. Lovely hot coffee and hot chocolate and great tasting cakes. Would recommend.

Called here for evening meal after reading the good reviews. They opened at 6pm so we were lucky to be walking by at 6 and got a table inside to accommodate us and our 2 dogs. We had fish and chips and pie with mash and vegetables which were nice. All staff friendly and polite.

We were debating about where to have dinner on our last night in the area and ended up booking dinner at Mousetrap. We were not disappointed! The building itself is very cute and we loved the subtle mouse related decor; it as fun to spot them. The food was generous and hearty with a very nice job in the plating creating a lovely first impression. I ordered the spinach and mushroom Pithivier and it was delicious..definitely not something I can get back home. My better half very much enjoyed his chicken. We had just enough room left to share a delicious dessert which also looked great.

The cafe is very basic which is fine, however, the prices are too high. Two coffees over nine pounds. We did have oat milk instead of cows and one was decaf but even so that’s the most we have been charged for two medium sized coffees anywhere in the UK. There was even a 10% service charge added to the bill which again was a first for us in a cafe. Staff were very nice but we won’t return. There is a limit to how much we want to pay for coffee. It’s not £9+.

Welcome staff , range of traditional pastries that is mouth watering and the taste is second to none. Some pastries when you taste it you feel like your in Paris or Cornwall Love it ❤️

If I could give Smiths of Bourton a 10-star rating, I would. My husband agreed with me that our burgers from Smiths were absolutely the best we have ever had. I don't know if it was because of the seasoning, special sauce, or grilling technique. It really did not matter as we thoroughly savored every bite. I am so glad we stumbled across Smiths during our stroll through Bourton-on-the-Water. It is an awewsome restaurant.

Stayed October 2024. Lovely old hotel, clean, quite, fabulous staff. Breakfast very tasty and room was clean and lovely, bed very comfortable. Pub prices are very reasonable. Would stay here again.

The little front of house guy thinks he's funny but in reality he's just a offensive loser and the food, service is just as bad. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

We walked around a went in as we liked the menu options and the food did not let itself down, beautiful prawn sandwiches, milkshakes and tea. The ground floor is in desperate need of modernisation and decorations to make it more inviting, the menu holders looked years old and quite grubby, old fridges standing around and looked generally unloved, otherwise would be 5 stars

Good pizza, lovely dough, lovely tomato sauce.

The guy who works here is rude and condescending. Dare you not be a perfect coffee expert and ask for advice on which drink to choose.
