3 Eat & Drink in Cheltenham

When you scroll through the Cheltenham restaurant listings you'll soon see that European cuisine is a big deal in this west country destination, which may be due to the affluent population or tourists who visit from around the world. Either way, it means that diners at Cheltenham's restaurants can enjoy the finest dishes that French, Italian and Spanish cuisines have to offer. From Breton fish stews and chicken cooked in white wine sauce, to creme brulee and other continental desserts, there are plenty of European dinner options. There are also Italian-style cafes where the espressos and cappuccinos take centre stage, so whatever continental cuisine you're after, Cheltenham restaurants deliver.

One of the best things about dining out at restaurants in Cheltenham is the ability to mix nature and recreation with a fine dining experience. For instance, if you feel the need for some fresh air, take a wander along the River Severn and end up at a cosy pre-booked gastro-pub or gourmet brasserie. Or head to country house eating spots that are surrounded by gardens where you can take a stroll and unwind before settling down to eat. Mix spa treatments and fine dining and plan the ideal day of relaxation by making a booking at Cheltenham restaurants with Quandoo.

There are also some fantastic Asian restaurants in Cheltenham. It may be a long way from Delhi, but the capital of the Cotswolds does boast some exceptional Indian curry houses. You'll find options near the University of Gloucestershire that specialise in tandoori cooking, town centre eateries that bring Kashmiri cuisine to the palates of west country diners, and upscale Indian restaurants in Charlton Kings that bring the subtlety of southern Indian cooking to the table. But the options go well beyond India. With family-run Thai restaurants in Cheltenham and Asian-fusion places as well, anyone with a taste for exotic spices will be in seventh heaven.

If you need to book a table for a romantic meal or you’re celebrating a milestone, Cheltenham's restaurants include some sublime settings for the occasion. The city is blessed with endless streets of 18th century townhouses, many of which have been converted into high-class eateries, and there are adapted fire stations and Art Deco cinemas, too, as well as country houses and places near Pittville Park with al fresco terraces and wonderful views. So, if you need a setting to measure up to the food on offer, Cheltenham's restaurants won't let you down.

There's no shortage of excellent dining options for people who are heading to the Cheltenham Races, so book somewhere before your visit and turn an already action-packed day into something truly special. You'll find conveniently-located eating spots on Clarence Parade in the town centre or in the northern part of town where you can take your pick from Indian, Thai, British and European cuisine. And when you're done, you won't be far from the racecourse entrance.

More than anything else, restaurants in Cheltenham benefit from being in the middle of a superb agricultural region. Gloucestershire is famous for its cheeses (like Double Gloucester), which makes cheeseboards at Cheltenham restaurants a cut above the usual. Then there's the fruit. Gloucestershire's apples, plums and pears are used in delectable desserts as well as being turned into some of the finest ciders, perries and fruit wines around. Add in sustainably-sourced honey, wild foraged herbs and mushrooms, and Gloucester sausages, and local chefs have plenty of ingredients to play with.
