Gloucester Restaurant Guide

Bearlands Restaurant

Close to the revitalised docks in the appealing cathedral city of Gloucester, Bearlands is centrally located in an 18th century building. The vaulted interior of exposed brickwork and dusky pink creates a relaxing mood; the airy conservatory offers a brighter setting for drinks.

• Cuisine(s): Modern British
• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £35.00

Cafe Rene

Tucked away in an old alleyway, Café Rene's nondescript exterior may be slightly deceptive, but step inside to find a charming little place with an off-beat décor. Situated in a Grade II listed building, it's worth taking time off to explore the interesting interior, which includes an old well in the centre of the room, walls and ceiling peppered with bottles appearing to defy gravity, and a dimly lit cellar bar underground.
