    Cafe Rene

    For a decent but predictable choice of pub grub head to this cheery joint through the archway on Southgate. There's live music on Wednesday nights and a pleasant beer garden outside. Food is served until 21:30 and includes every­thing from wraps and sandwiches (£4.50) at lunch to burgers, chilli, pasta and curry by night.

    Le Champignon Sauvage

    This unpretentious but oh-so-delectable restaurant has earned two Michelin stars for its inspired cuisine. The atmosphere is refined but relaxed, the tables big and the decor simple. It's the kind of place where you can just wallow in the food, which is worth every penny. Perfect for a special occasion. Book ahead.

    Fosters on the Docks

    The most lively option down at the historic docks is this cheerful place serving tapas, traditional grills and Mediterranean dishes including pizza and pasta. There's a nice conservatory overlooking the water, as well as more cosy dining in the industrial chic interior.

    Daffodil

    A perennial favourite, the Daffodil is as loved for its top-notch modern British brasserie-style food as for its flamboyant surroundings. Set in a converted art deco cinema, it harks back to the Roaring Twenties and features live jazz and blues every Monday night. The atmosphere is suitably bubbly and the food consistently good.

    Brosh

    This lovely little place serves excellent eastern Mediterranean food with everything from the merguez to the sourdough bread prepared on site from scratch. The menu is limited but the flavours are superb. For something lighter (£2 to £4), come for the mezedhes bar, which opens on Wednesday to Friday nights.

    Tigers Eye

    This place attempts to please everyone with a menu that veers from baguettes and wraps to sushi, noodles and Black Rock grills (where you cook your own meat or fish on a sizzling volcanic plate). It's a strange mix, but somehow it manages to work and the food is some of the best in town.

    Spice Lodge

    This pan-Asian restaurant has a full menu of Indian and Thai dishes, but the real draw is the menu du jour, which features European classics cooked with an Asian twist. Set in an imposing old mansion, it's a relaxed but elegant place to dine.

  16. Owens

    Set in a 15th-century building that's decidedly modern inside, this place is a welcome change from Tewkesbury's tearooms. The menu features big, honest flavours and a modern take on classic British and French cuisine. Try the excellent two-course set lunch for £10.

    Gusto

    This deli and cafe is a great place for coffee and a slab of cake, a wholesome lunch made from authentic Italian ingredients or scrumptious picnic supplies. The upstairs cafe features changing artwork from a local gallery and great big windows overlooking Montpellier Gardens.

  19. Garden Cafe

    An award-winning organic cafe on the banks of the River Wye, this place is set in a converted malt house and surrounded by a beautiful walled garden. The food is all seasonal and locally sourced, with vegetables from the cafe's garden. Monday night is tapas night (set menu £10).

    Dfly

    Bar, restaurant and hip hang-out rolled into one, Dfly is a style-conscious place serving great sushi and tapas in sultry surroundings. Think deep red, oversize cushions, dark woods, liberally scattered church candles and Asian carvings. By night it's a buzzing watering hole with soulful music and monthly live gigs.
