Dining out at the best cafes and bistros.
Small country towns always have hidden gems and Gloucester has plenty of such dining options. Here are just a few suggestions to tempt your tastebuds the next time you dine out in Gloucester.
Batter & Dough Patisserie
Forget Paris, this glamorous Gloucester patisserie is filled with handmade deliciousness on every shelf, all baked onsite. You’ll want to stock up on sourdough and pastries sweet and savoury, and the picture-perfect croissants would be loved even by the French. The mini banoffee pie is the latest favourite, or maybe it's the freshly baked pecan pull-aparts, either of these may just overtake the perennial favourite French vanilla slice. Hot tip: buy some to eat now and some to eat later.
Land & Sea Cafe
Offering modern Australian cuisine plus comfort food and themed nights for dinner, with a cosy courtyard that’s also dog-friendly. Hot tip: remember surf ‘n turf? Get it here as scotch fillet topped with creamy garlic prawns.
Roadies Café
A long-time favourite for breakfast and lunch with tasty meals for travellers no matter how many wheels they’re driving. It’s now newly famous for woodfire pizzas with jazzy cocktail nights, live entertainment and coffee by that cosy fireplace.
The Common
At the sunniest corner of Gloucester’s main street with food and service to match, you can also browse their retail space. Seasonal café favourites include crusty filled baguettes and vegetable lasagne piled high.
The Kitchen
Gloucester’s favourite bistro in the Roundabout Inn with indoor and outdoor seating, for unbeatable pub food plus hearty daily specials for lunch and dinner. Hot tip: the crumbed lamb cutlets with mash to remind you of home.
Yim Thai Gloucester
A favourite among locals, you’ll find a big range of delicious Thai meals including lots of vegetarian options. The prawn twisters, spicy calamari and fish cakes are always a good choice for entrée and for mains try the duck red curry. Like it a bit spicier? Then ask for ‘Thai style’ and knock your socks off.
Tasty takeaways
Sometimes you just need the right food, quick and easy, to eat on the run or in the park: sandwiches, pies, fish & chips, pizza, or your favourite Chinese cuisine. Here are some more great choices around Gloucester:
