Zizzi Cheltenham restaurant review – There were sub-zero temperatures outside and teeth-chattering gusts of wind inside, but it was the tepid food and frosty service that left SoGlos.com cold after a visit to Zizzi in Cheltenham.

The Regency Restaurant review – The Regency Restaurant review With an elaborate menu screaming for attention, an acclaimed chef, and millions lavished on refurbishments The Regency Restaurant in Cheltenham is unmistakably out to impress. But did the restaurant’s fine dining ambitions live up to the high expectations?

Spice Lodge review – Satisfying fans of both Indian and Thai cuisine under one roof was never going to be easy. SoGlos.com dined at Spice Lodge in Cheltenham to see if it really can be done – uncovering the remarkably popular restaurant’s secret once and for all.

Parkers the Brasserie review – For this SoGlos.com foodie at least, restaurant dining rooms can all too often be middle of the row; unimaginative, unsurprising and unremarkable. While at Parkers the Brasserie in Cheltenham, from the offset, our meal out was nothing short of a true occasion.

Le Champignon Sauvage Restaurant review – It wasn’t just David Everitt-Matthias’ cooking that created a constant stream of surprises during our trip to Cheltenham’s two Michelin Star restaurant, Le Champignon Sauvage. SoGlos.com’s bank manager was in for a shock too.

Brasserie Blanc review – Formerly home to Le Petit Blanc fine dining, Cheltenham has now witnessed the arrival of Brasserie Blanc, a restaurant still associated with the eponymous chef, but a very different beast.
