Where to eat in Cheltenham?

288 Bar & Wok

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Cheltenham is located at 288 Bar & Wok by High Street. This family-style restaurant, which has been around for more than ten years, serves various Asian dishes made to order using local, fresh ingredients whenever possible.

Weekday lunch specials are available at 288 Bar & Wok, but regular prices are still fair. Additionally, this restaurant provides gluten-free and vegan options. Make reservations beforehand if you are traveling with large groups. It is the Number one restaurant in Cheltenham.

The Curry Corner

Sam and Monrusha Krori are a father-daughter team who owns and operates the Indian restaurant The Curry Corner. It is a Fairview Road landmark and has served the community for more than 40 years. We advise the Cotswold lamb shank masala if you're searching for something special for the evening.

With over 25 awards for its existence, The Curry Corner is a multi-award-winning eatery. It is still a modest restaurant, though, serving arguably the best Indian food in town.

Paparrito's

Along High Street is Paparrito's, a Mexican-style cantina. Locals come here for customizable taco choices and fast-food-style lunches and dinners, which are all reasonably priced. The restaurant takes pride in using tasty and organic flavors and promises a preservative-free atmosphere in the kitchen.

If you're short on time, go for one of Paparrito's famous made-to-order burritos. If you enjoy spicy foods, request extra spicy sauce with your food.

Montpellier

South of the town center of Cheltenham is the charming town of Montpellier. A few boutiques and artisan jewelers can be found here, and locals frequently visit for a stylish day out. There is always a great place to unwind throughout the day, from midday trips to cafes like the Cote Brasserie to romantic evenings at the Montpellier Wine Bar.

You can go to the festive Montpellier Street Fair at Christmas. It's a great time to indulge in some baked goods from scratch and warm up with some mulled wine made by the locals.

Koj

On Regent Street, Koj Cheltenham is an open-kitchen Japanese restaurant. Andrew Kojima, a MasterChef finalist, created it, and it has quickly won over the love of locals looking for a unique take on Japanese cuisine.

It follows a 'no sushi' policy, so you will only find dishes like walnut barley miso pumpkin and special Koj fried chicken.
