3 Best Restaurants in Cirencester, Bath and the Cotswolds

Tierra & Mar

$$ Fodor's choice

Head chef Brett has introduced Spanish fine dining to the Cotswolds with this spot, rightly winning numerous awards for the food. The ingredients all come from local suppliers, and the seven-course tasting menu is an incredible value at £49. There's a vegan tapas menu as well. The ambience in this casually decorated café is warm and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and knowledgable.

MBB Brasserie

$

There's energy and buzz at this plate-glass-and-chrome eatery, situated right by the Cornhall, which serves late breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks with a smile. Light bites like buffalo mozzarella, hot smoked salmon Nicoise, and deep-fried calamari with fennel salad are particularly tasty. You can also pick something up from their sister company, Corn Hall Deli, for a picnic.

The Fleece

$$

This 17th-century inn retains its historic past while serving fabulous modern food, real ales, and gin cocktails. Choose from a wide range of dishes including venison, steak, and seafood, or the varied selections on the daily specials board. Upstairs there are 28 rooms, including one where Charles II and Lady Fisher hid from Oliver Cromwell during the Civil War.
