The best restaurants serving French food in Cheltenham South West

Pastries look lovely, unfortunately a lack of vegan options. There is one pastry, no savouries. This is a shame as other bakeries are way more inclusive. Coffee was lovely and environment is nice but absolutely freezing! It is undercover but it’s a temporary structure which doesn’t warm up!

Tiny and tucked down some steep stairs in a basement location, but perfect French food, perfect service and a friendly welcome. See how many French film stars you can name on the walls as you enjoy the unpretentious but delicious classic French cuisine. Update 2025: the bistro seems to have changed hands - prices up and quality not quite as good. Good but not excellent any longer.

We had an amazing lunch here. The fondue was absolutely to die for and Stephanie was an incredibly lovely and knowledgeable host. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the Cotswolds area.

Beautiful decor, fabulous food and presentation with knowledgeable courteous staff. Will be returning

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

My new favourite restaurant! We had three courses each and every single one was fantastic. The service was excellent, the waiters were so attentive and the food came out so quickly. To be fair the restaurant wasn’t that busy but we were very impressed. Thank you for such a lovely evening.

Great Jazz Festival jazz times.
