"The story: Two weeks prior, peeking through the restaurant window, I was intrigued to see the kitchen artizans hard at work creating sushi platters that looked vibrant but also elegant. On the 14th November at lunchtime, I was looking forward to trying Kibou as Japanese cuisine is one of my favourites. It's very hard to see the same level of unique variety that Kibou has compared to the few Japanese restaurants I am local to. We wanted to try an array of items and the mini seasonal menu had just been released in time for our visit as well. The food: The Jo Moriawase and New Style Sashimi were great introductions to the first impressions of the quality and range of the dishes available as they were the assortment dishes. Our server provided us with guidance on what we should try first on the Jo Moriawase in order to prevent ending up with eating soggy nori which we appreciated. The Black Cod Nigiri is nothing I have ever tried before so this was also an interesting experience for our tastebuds. My dad has a tough palate to appease but to my surprise, he was satisfied with the Spider Roll Temaki and Chashu Ramen (he thought the pork broth could have been less strong but nonetheless still enjoyed, not like the artificial flavourings you get in an instant ramen if you know what I mean). The Chirashizushi was great for me as I love my sashimi. I didn't realise the yellow portions were actually tamago/egg roll until I tasted it. Some sort of gastronomical wizardry? My mum really lavished the Yaki Udon textures, with the udon noodles having the right amount of nudge needed to chew and biting into the nice crispy outer layer of the tofu. My only regret is not having enough room to try the desserts. Overall, a unique adventure for the tastebuds! The price: If you are extremely budget conscious, perhaps I would not be able to recommend Kibou to you. For a family of three, we were about £40-50 per person. As of my visit, the service charge is 10%. Don't get me wrong though, I think the service charge is fair and reasonable because our experience with the staff we talked to and came by our table were lovely. The atmosphere: Family-friendly but also evening bar feel. Sakura Cherry Blossom and other Japanese-related art themes run throughout the restaurant. The service: We didn't have to wait very long to be seated or served. The waiting staff were attentive, friendly and helpful. The kitchen staff did an amazing job with the food. Would I come again?: Yes, as a treat! Plus I want to try the dessert next time! :"

"Food and service excellent! We tried this bistro today and were very impressed. Quite a small place but this gave it a cosy atmosphere. All the food we ordered was delicious and there were many different options the menu which sounded equally good (definitely be back to try some of them) would certainly recommend. Only problem would be that the restaurant is in a basement and steps down are quite steep."

"Came here for bottomless raclette and it did not disappoint. Raclette comes with charcuterie and potatoes and both were tasty. The cheese used in raclette was also tasty not just some average cheese. As far as bottomless goes it really was, the waitresses were always around and keeping an eye and the plates were free flowing. Definitely wasn 't a case of it 's bottomless but if we ignore you for 20 minutes you only get 3 plates. I stopped after 5 and honestly couldn 't eat anymore. A shout out to the chocolate dipping pudding too absolutely did not need it after all that cheese but was equally just as tasty, very much wanted to drink the dipping chocolate."

Havanas Coffee

Vegan • Cakes • Coffee • Breakfast

"Coming from Brighton, it's easy to get blasé about having good coffee shops a few minutes walk from home, but this isn't the case everywhere. The residents of Cheltenham who live near Havanas can count themselves fortunate this is a fine little café that makes a great cup of coffee and some fine cakes, pastries and sandwiches. The service is very good, friendly and efficient. It seems very popular with locals, which is not surprising."
