My wife and I have just enjoyed a superb meal for our anniversary, the atmosphere is lovely, the food is fantastic and the staff bend over backwards to make what is a truly remarkable experience even more special, I can’t recommend this establishment enough, it certainly is a hidden gem amongst the hustle and bustle of other eateries, if you’re in Cheltenham then get yourself down there, book in advance though, it’s only small and a few people were disappointed to be told there we no tables left this evening. Exceptional, thank you for a wonderful evening Elisabeth and Yves.
Gorgeously presented and wonderful flavours. The service is exceptional and feels welcoming and not too formal. Nothing is too much trouble. We dined here yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised that our waiter was informed beforehand of my shellfish allergy AND remembered that it was a birthday meal (a birthday version of my dessert was served!). The chef came to ask us if we enjoyed our meal afterwards which is always nice as they're making sure your meal lived up to expectations. My favourite restaurant in Cheltenham! Thank you!
Visited with friends end of August. Fabulous food, atmosphere and service. Elisabeth and Yves never disappoint. See you again soon
If you want typical French food and excellent service then please book this venue.
Came for the horseoux desert and we had a lovely experience trying different ones! The decoration was gorgeous and the creme brûlée was great as well. However the coffee definitely needs to be improved. The different coffee were not very well made and some of them were very strong. The staff were nice and the main courses looked amazing so would love to come back for it.
A fabulous independent family run traditonal French Restaurant (actually run by a French family), which puts many of the so called French inspired restruant to shame.
We ordered from the set lunchtime menu (two or three courses), which was good value with two choices for each course & freshly prepared.
I would definitely recommend & also suggest you book ahead as the restruant was close to full when we arrived.
Such a delight!!
The food was impeccable, very authentic French dishes and very nice presentation too.
The owners really made this bistro a special place. Felt very well taken care of, they remembered all requests from the online booking, and were so friendly and fast with everything!
Loved their own dessert creation horseshoe too!
Defo will come back whenever close by and highly recommend!
Amazing food. Would highly recommend!
Almost unassuming from the outside, but don't let that fool you. The whole experience is excellent! Everything was perfect. The service was stellar and the staff are friendly. The food was absolutely tasty - every course was a delight. The flavours were great and well balanced. It made for an amazing evening.
Got a delicious choux pastry for 4.95£. It was a tad too sweet but the bitter chocolate balanced it just right. Very light & easy to eat.
Simply a delight to dine here. Superb food, excellent service and a wonderful menu. Book a table - you'll miss out otherwise!!

I tried to book a table at l’Artisan literally for years, but every time there was a special occasion they were unfortunately closed or some other problem occurred.
So this time I decided to pick a random day just to go and finally try this restaurant and I’m so glad I did it.
The ambiance was nice, candles on the table, everything looked really elegant, the only downside is that it’s a tiny place so tables are quite close to each other.
I had the ravioli as a starter, followed by the duo of duck, while my partner had the scallops and the beef fillet. Honestly the starter where amazing to see but I felt like my ravioli were missing something, maybe they were a bit too delicate in flavour. But the highlight of the dinner was definitely the duck, it was simply amazing and I loved every single bit of it.
For dessert we ordered a cheeseboard and the chef’s special, the Horsechoux, which is available in different flavours and is in the shape of a horseshoe to represent the town of Cheltenham.
I loved our meal from beginning to end and would definitely recommend this restaurant.
