My mum told me how great the Ullenwood location was, and as we were in Cheltenham during lunchtime, we decided to get something to eat here. We both had the butternut squash and feta salad- not sure what I was expecting, but I was blown away by how good it was. I'd live on salad if they all tasted this good. Sweet dressing, roasted(?) butternut squash, and a super generous helping of feta, sprinkled with sesame seeds/pumpkin seeds etc. The whole salad was huge, definitely value for money. My sister had the Thai green chicken (laksa soup?) and said it was great too. Super friendly service by everyone we met. Thanks guys, will definitely be back. Great little restaurant and really good work done there!

My favorite restaurant in Cheltenham! We arrived here by the suggestion of a cab driver and he…read moredescribed it as "very French cooking, without the fussiness". Which translates into delicious accessible French food. I ended up eating here twice in my 10 day trip. For starters, the staff was really hospitable, offering to take my coat and they were always attentive to the little things, like having enough water. They also were very patient in decoding the menu because there was a lot of French. The interior is cozy since it is downstairs, sporting low ceilings, warm brick walls, and a fireplace. I had a lot of food here, but these were my faves: - Baguette (comes with the meal) - so fresh and perfect! Crispy, crackly crust with soft fluffy innards. I could be happy with just their bread and butter for a meal. A sign of more good food to come - Terrine maison (liver pate) - Only order this if you like pate or don't mind the taste of liver. Served with crispy toasts, a lightly dressed salad, and onion jam. Liver pate + onion jam is a delightful food combo. - Scallops & pancetta salad - delicious. Rocket arugula, lightly dressed with really flavorful tomatoes and the right balance of pancetta. The scallops were tender and flavorful too - Crepe aux champignons (mushroom crepe) - Really rich and filling. This could be a light meal on its own. The gravy made it really filling. - Citron tart (Lemon tart) - absolutely winning and beautiful. Tart and bright lemon custard over a shortbread tart shell, very delicately covered by a thin brulee top. Served with a scoop of the sweetest and juiciest raspberries and a mound of fresh cream. It was so good that my dining partner wasn't going to have dessert until he saw it. And then he couldn't resist getting a slice of his own. - Chocolate fondant cake - well executed chocolate lava cake. Definitely a must for chocolate lovers. Only thing I didn't really like was the sea bass (fish of the day). A little too fussy with a whole fillet of bones to deal with. Great for dates or celebrations... or with the waitstaff being so French it could also be fun to come to practice French

My sandwich tasted good but was exceptionally small for the price, the pasta was OK but came with no side salad or bread it was very expensive for what it was. The food in the deli downstairs looks so good I thought we might have cought them on a bad day or ordered badly, so I gave them another chance last week with a friend. She had soup and I had a goats cheese crostini salad. The soup was bland and barely warm and the goats cheese salad was pathetically small for £9 - It was barely acceptable as a starter (yet still very expensive) and certainly not big enough for lunch. We did send the soup back and were offered something else from the menu but all too late and so we ordered garllic bread - it was average. Overall I will not return, the food is very expensive which I wouldn't mind if it were better and larger - the portions are simply too small.

It was more flavorful, but pretty one noted - tasting mostly of chili and soy sauce. For the entrees we ordered (phad thai & duck stir fry), the whole was not greater than the sum of the parts. Everything was well plated though. The chicken salad was pretty memorable. What I thought would be a salad topped with shredded chicken, dressed in some spicy Thai inspired vinagrette turned out to be a plate of shredded chicken, topped with some salad leaves and dosed with peppers. This was the heaviest meat to greens ratio I had ever seen in a salad. It would have been a more welcome surprise if I was feeling more carnivorous. The dessert menu was also quite tempting. I ordered the chocolate hazelnut ice cream, and it looked just like the picture in the menu, but it was more reminiscent of generic grocery store ice cream with fudge sauce from a bottle. Meh.

Took 20 minutes to be spoken to by a member of the wait staff despite the restaurant being 20% full at best. They then immediately agreed to a requested substitution in advance which, if hadn't been acceptable or feasible, would have definitely changed the order in question. Order came out fully wrong - when mentioned to the same member of staff they first acted as if they had no idea what was being spoken of - then pivoted where the only answer was "oh, guess the kitchen didn't want to do it, then." ::shrug:: No other offer of further assistance or solution, other than taking another 20 minutes to bring the bill when requested. This location is convenient to the festival venue but has literally nothing else going for it. Avoid avoid avoid. So many other charming spots in Cheltenham. Lesson learned!

The waitress even accommodated my American request for iced tea by giving me hot tea and a cup of ice without any hassle. The only negative I could think of as it may get a bit stuffy on hot days as it is below street level and doesn't have a lot of airflow.

Our waitress brought out menus and took drink orders. I ordered a mac and cheese and hubby had Mojo chicken skewers with couscous salad. The food is a lot like our New American with a bit of fusions going in. The dishes were appetizing, well seasoned and comforting, something I had been missing while running around and eating pasties throughout the day.
