Great first visit, for a cooked breakfast. Sausages were tasty but overdone, everything else was lovely.

Very expensive. Not worth £7.50 for a bacon sandwich. Over priced and hardly any tomato ketchup. Not

Only had coffee but loved the premises and friendly staff. Good coffee and opens early too.

Delicious food and beverages in an attractive setting. The French Apple Flan was so good - nice and spicy and not too sweet. They went out of their way to meet my unusual coffee request.

We decided to sit downstairs rather than outside because it was cold. This was a mistake because although we were assured we would be served, we had to go to the serving area to order to order breakfast and then had to reorder our coffee as it didn’t arrive until we had eaten the breakfast! - we were forgotten and had to remind the waitress who was clearly not busy! This was a pity because the breakfast was cooked well.

Came with a party of three on a Saturday evening with high hopes.Small but pleasant enough surroundings.Ordered French Onion soup and humous to start and we all chose Cottage pie for our mains.These should be simple enough dishes for any decent kitchen.Soup was okay, although the cheese wasn’t melted onto the croutons to create the crust you expect.Humous was also tasty enough.Sadly, the cottage pies were a massive letdown. All three were served at the same time and all three were very different temperatures. The pie appeared to have a bolognese sauce as it’s base which was unwelcome when what you want is a hearty British meal on an crisp autumn night. The consistency of each pie was also very different, from firm to soupy. Imagine Goldilocks going cottage pie tasting and you’ll get the idea.We would have complained to the staff if any single one of them had done what you expect and come to ask how our food was. But they didn’t.Indifference or inexperience? Hard to tell.We ordered a bottle of red to go with the meal, and it was probably the star of the show.One last comment…We booked a table here after checking their menu out on their website.On the website, our main courses were priced at £17 and our wine at £24 per bottle.In the restaurant, they were £22 for the mains and £27 for the wine.When we paid the bill we mentioned all the above and were offered a 10% discount. That’s not as much as the price increase from their online to in-house menu.These folks need to remember that they are not in the business of serving food to people, but serving people with food.

Lovely casual restaurant with fresh food and amazing ingredients followed by delicious desserts and lovely hot chocolate.

Main course was fine but NO choice for desert as I have a nut allergy. Either the sweets I wanted had nuts in or were unavailable. It would have been nice to have been offered a complementary ice-cream but no, even though that was all that was available I had to pay for it. Expensive ice-cream!

Came here for a late breakfast.There wasn't much variety for breakfast but their lunch and dinner options seems more exciting.We ordered The Works and American pancakes which were nice but nothing spectacular.Their Cotswold bacon in The Works and the American pancakes were so delicious. Perfect level of crispiness.The shop also had lots of sandwiches and other deli options to choose from. Will definitely give those a go next time.

We regularly eat at Chaplais. One of our favourite places. We went to their Thursday Tapas evening which has live music from very talented young musicians the last two times we’ve been. The Tapas was great and with the music made it a real holiday type feel. Would highly recommend.

The sourdough pizza is superb, staff are pleasant and we really enjoyed sitting outside this delightful little place. I would definitely drop in again when in Cheltenham.

What a lovely relaxed place with great food. I was looking for somewhere to go for a belated birthday lunch and wanted casual dining with a reasonable range of food. Just looking at the food on display as I went in suggested this was going to be a good experience. We were in no rush and the pace of the meal was gentle though we never felt forgotten. The food was excellent and the wine good quality at a reasonable price. The mussels were some of the best I have ever had so all credit to them in terms of where they source their ingredients. My salad was excellent and beautifully presented. This restaurant has gone to the top of my list of places in Cheltenham for casual dining during the day and early evening.
