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

Always fantastic service, food and coffee here. The best in the village! Sarah is always welcoming and smiling, great way to start the day.

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.

Possibly the best 🍔 in the 🌎 and the tatter tots are amazing. Cocktails are incredible and the local beer was the cherry on the cake. Can not recommend smiths enough

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

My wife and I were looking for a restaurant for our evening meal. We tried the Rose Tree - it was busy and we had no reservation but the staff moved a few tables around and were able to fit us in. The place was very busy, but very friendly and cosy, the food was excellent and we had a really good evening.

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.

Busy spot but well worth the wait if you want to sit and eat. It's a bit of a free for all when it comes to seating so you're not guaranteed a place. However, the sandwiches are so worth it. Really thick bread with a generous amount of filling - would highly recommend!

A cosy little cafe on the main street through Bourton-on-the-Water. The pasties are excellent and the cappuccinos are equally excellent. The seating areas are airy, clean and comfortable. The staff are extremely helpful, polite and efficient. This is truly a hidden gem and I give it the highest recommendation.

By luck we chose this restaurant for lunch and loved it so much went again the following evening. Smiths is a charming restaurant full of character, with a number of low-ceiling rooms. We had the” scotchy burger” both times and it was absolutely sensational. Cooked to perfection, full of flavour and quite possibly the best burger I (and my wife) have ever had or could remember having (and I’ve had a few!). The cajun fries were also perfectly cooked and added a spicy side to a (moderately) spicy burger and we left wishing this place wasn’t 2 hours away! The staff were friendly , especially the young blonde lady who was so welcoming and accommodating to us and also made the delicious chocolate mousse special that we had for desert. Definitely advisable to pre-book, this place gets very busy, and deservedly so.

This place looked so grim we decided against eating here. Based on other reviews and some local knowledge it looks like it’s best to avoid

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

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, my Italian job pizza was perfect, one of the best I’ve had in the UK! We just managed to get a walk in table mid week so the service was really prompt. Had a glass of wine each which was nice and our server was friendly and helpful in a cosy little room, thanks very much!

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.

The coffee was OK. My wife liked hers to be fair. Soy milk was very sweet. The service was appaling. Blonde haired, eastern European lady maybe in her 50s was miserable. I got my order wrong and she huffed and puffed about it. No "that's OK don't worry" just muttering under her breath. The sweet treats did look very good thoug!
