Some of the comments we have received... 19th August 2011-- Visit the full write up on Tripadvisor Jesse's combined all the things we look for in a restaurant: good, mostly local ingredients well-cooked: tap water offered as first choice: unusual wines sold by the glass as well as the bottle; portions large enough to satisfy but small enough to leave space for a delicious pud. 16th May 2011-- Visit the full write up on Love to Dine On walking in to the restaurant we were met by a delicious smell of fresh food cooking. After a lot of deliberation I settled upon a salmon dish for my starter and a chicken dish for my main course. We all thoroughly enjoyed our starters, my chicken breast was stuffed with a mushroom duxelle and served with sage gnocchi and a tarragon cream, one of our guests had a sirloin steak, which also earned high praise as one of the best he’s had in a long, long time. It was thick and succulent, and a perfect medium rare. The thick cut chips it came with almost had the consistency of really crunchy roast potatoes. My father opted for a lamb dish which as it turned out, was two different cuts, plus lamb’s liver – fantastic if you’re a meat lover! My mother chose a sea bass fillet, which came with an unusual champagne and caviar sauce. Both of them thoroughly enjoyed their choices as well, and there were clean plates all round. It would have been criminal not to try at least one dessert, having enjoyed everything else so much, so between the four of us, we had a sticky toffee pudding, served with vanilla ice cream and butterscotch sauce, and a selection of cheeses. The pudding was dense and moist, with just the right amount of chewy dates to give it texture and sweetness without overwhelming the flavour. The butterscotch sauce was obscenely rich and had a treacley flavour to it. Our meals really were exceptional, clearly having been painstakingly prepared using top quality produce, and the menu has obviously been put together by someone with an excellent palate who really knows their flavour combinations! I will most certainly make a point of visiting Jesse’s again next time I am in the area, and would recommend any discerning diners to do the same! 11th April 2011 Dear Andrew, Just to tell you how much we enjoyed our first, and certainly not our last, visit to Jesse's Bistro for lunch today.The food was exceptional and the service was first class. Best wishes to all the staff, keep up the good work. Annabelle and James |

"mmmmmm Super food - can't wait to go back" If you live within driving distance of CIrencester then book a table and try this place. Three of us ate there last Friday evening. Two us had Mussels to start and my husband had Stuffed Squid with Feta and Chorizo - all excellent. We all chose something different from the main course menu - I had Rack of Lamb which melted in my mouth, my husband had Pork and our friend had Halibut. All truly flavoursome meals and very filling. The two men finished the meal with Cherry Creme Brulee - I was good though and just had a Latte coffee. Superb evening, great staff, great atmosphere and all very reasonably priced. Cant wait to go back 8th June 2010 5/5 "The best in Cirencester......" Jesse's has an atmosphere that hits you as soon as you enter the small courtyard off the main street and the welcome was equally as pleasing. The menu is well considered with tapas, soups, and traditional starters incorporated in to a very easy to understand and well thought out mains section ( the best hand cooked chips I have ever tasted ) and pleasantly surprising desserts too. Try everything is my advice, the food was first class, the steaks and fish are well cooked and deliver on taste and imagination, and the side orders come well presented and do exactly what they state - they fill you up. 5th May 2010 5/5 "What a wonderful place to eat!" We were in Cirencester for a wedding and had read about Jesse's online. We ate there on the 29th and loved it. The food was outstanding and the service very pleasant. Andrew the manager came by to check on us a few times and we mentioned how thoroughly happy we were with the meal. And for possibly the first time ever- I did not finish my dessert because i was so full from my meal. However the sticky toffee pudding was to die for. Definitely eat here if you are in the area! 12th Jan 2010 5/5 "Fantastic meal in every way" After checking the reviews, we went for lunch to Jesse's Bistro. Wonderful food, service was attentive but unobtrusive, ambience was perfect and did I say the food was good?! Every review is good, they can't all be wrong 8th Oct 2009 4/5 "Real food cooked with skill and dedication, with real service" I am moved to write about jesses bistro because this is the time of year for all the major guides to be printed. I have eaten at Jesses on many occasions and am amazed that this great restaurant with its unique atmosphere is missing from all. The menu always takes me by surprise because I could order all the dishes featuring beautifully fresh white hand picked crab and scallops - the welcome is always sincere and attentive - its great to be looked after instead of having to wait for a wine waiter just to get your wine served. The roast partridge cooked to perfection and served with spot on dauphinoise was my pick as my partner was again particularly happy with her turbot with a brown shrimp risotto. Puddings here are again not to be missed with a wow factor cheesecake with superb homemade ice cream and the most delicate of bread and butter puddings well complimented by lemon syllabub. take time to look at their wine list for some superb picks as the patron will only be to happy to help. 21st Sept 2009 5/5 My husband and I went to celebrate an anniversary and certainly weren't disappointed. The atmosphere was comfortable, the waiting staff were excellent, very knowledgable and friendly, and the food was of the highest quality. The menu was interesting and uses only local produce when possible, and if you liked the produce it tells you where you can buy it to try yourself. Overall we had a lovely evening and would recommend you try it for yourself. Read More reviews on tripadvisor Please email your feedback to us at info@jessesbistro.co.uk.
