Elisabeth and Yves arrived in Cheltenham to open L’Artisan, a French restaurant in April 2013.
They rapidly built a strong reputation and became one of the most recognised Restaurants in town.
Over nine years of existence, l’Artisan restaurant has received several awards but the last reward was an amazing article in November 2021 from Jay Rayner on The Observer, the Guardian Newspaper.
From June 2022, they have chosen to orientate their business into a new direction to adapt and improve their lifestyle with a new challenge.
They have converted their Fine Dinning restaurant into a French Bistro – Café du Midi venue, they open the premises to their clientele from 10am to 4pm (3pm last order for hot food).
They offer Morning Coffees (and Croissant!), Lunch Menu with their well-known Set Menu of the “Tour de France” of the different regions of their birth country and Takeaway service in a relaxed French Style atmosphere.

* A big Merci to JAY RAYNER for his review in “The Observer” in November 2021.
