We've eaten at Lewis's Bistro a few times now when we are in Grasmere and every meal has been memorable. Food is perfectly cooked (the sauces particularly fine!) and while the wine list is small, it's perfectly formed. The service from the friendly staff is skilled and attentive. Highly recommended, we are already looking forward to a return visit.
Lewis’s Bistro – Grasmerelovely family restaurant, warm and welcoming and superb food - we had scallops for starters, filet steak and eaton mess and affogato for dessert - all absolutely first class and great service. We came here 2 years ago and will always come again when we are here. Great wine selection too - a very smooth Malbec thank you for a very special evening

Lewis’s Bistro – Grasmere"Memorable, simply memorable" - the comment I made to the attentive FOH staff, regarding their Lamb Henry Dish (who also remembered my name on leaving - nice touch). The kind of dish, that i'll specifically come back here to eat again.... and again. Amazing. Lovely staff, lovely pub, great food at a good price point. Congrats to all the team there. Keep doing what you are doing.

Sage and Vine – CarlisleWe had an amazing meal here, service was excellent with lovely friendly and attentive staff.
