A few days in Cheltenham found us visiting The Daffodil restaurant which had previously been highly recommended to us. The Daffodil is set down a side street just off Montpellier Gardens and away from the hustle and bustle of the main area and it proved we were quite fortunate to get a booking given the popularity of this place. A very smart venue with an ‘Art Deco’ feel which certainly makes this restaurant feel quite different to many other places we have dined at of late. An excellent menu and first class service makes this a place that anyone visiting Cheltenham must pay a visit. Without doubt, we would certainly head back to The Daffodil should we return to the Town. Don’t miss out.
Bar staff inconspicuous, old to get a cocktail, 15 minutes too late, as restaurant staff not able to locate us!( once shown, table, it was not properly dressed for dinner, further delays our meal. Scallop starters were lukewarm and tasteless, the slum nets were extremely fat with little meat. table service very bad, table not properly cleaned after curses, did not serve the same time as net. a classic fall of a pretentious dining room that rests on the laurels. once a pleasant and fun experience, unfortunately no longer the case.
Review from a sleepy Monday night: Starters of double Gloucester soufflé and smoked salmon both good. Mains of rib eye beef and cod. The steak was chewy and not goodb at all, but removed from the bill without use even asking. The cod was excellent. Cheese board dessert was basic. The ambience is excellent and but the service was ok, polite but didn't know their own menu. Reasonable priced.
very nice restaurant, the staff are very attentive, without being pushy and very nice, not to feel hurried. eat as always very good. we only visit once a year for a special occasion and look forward to our visits.

as a group of 4 ladies who expected to visit for a social night we were not disappointed in the least! would highly recommend this place!
First meal in England and was a bit disappointedAmbience is great, service was attentive, but food was far below expectations.
Great food and service.Theatre menu wonderful value.Live music far too loud and therefore intrusive.
You don't expect to find a really elegant restaurant in a far flung place like Cheltenham.
