The Old Bank – CarlisleDon’t know Carlisle at all but we ended up here for lunch in the midst of a jaunt on the Settle-Carlisle railway. Happened across Franco’s and we ended up with a great Italian lunch. I had a lovely lasagne and my mother (who eats out at Italian A LOT) had the ‘best Minestrone soup ever,’ praise indeed. We were there in the daytime but I’m sure in the evening it will be lovely and atmospheric in that old school, traditional Italian way.
Francos – CarlisleA great old building in the centre of Carlisle. The restaurant has a great mixture of old and new. Tip top food and good service!
The Old Bank – CarlisleLovely traditional cafe in Longtown near Carlisle. All the usual suspects on the menu. Well cooked and friendly service. They have rooms too though I have never stayed.

The Thin White Duke – CarlisleI have just attended a funeral wake and have left extremely embarrassed as myself and my husband were told to sit separately from each other even though there was a set table still available. I explained that i did not want to sit apart from my husband as we we did not know the people we were been asked to sit with. We have ended up just leaving instead and my husband could not pay his respects to his Aunt.
Greysteads Hotel – CarlisleI was recommended by a friend to visit this restaurant. Without doubt, this is the best Indian restaurant I have ever had the pleasure to visit. The staff were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, they truly make the experience great. The owner/chef is in a different league to the general run of the mill, his passion is clearly visible in the love he adds to his wonderf ul cuisine!! He really cares about his customers and came out to speak with us asking what we like most. It's so rare to see such passion and care. I sincerely recommend this beautiful, spotlessly clean establishment. Book early!! The people of Carlisle know how good this place is and it fills up quickly!!!
Bari – CarlisleI visited Carlisle yesterday 31.5.14 with my family. We had a very nice meal. The girls were helpful and friendly. My husband and I had the lasagne it was piping hot and tasty. My sister had the chicken breast with salad and veg she said it was lovely. My brother-in-law had the gammon he said was also good and all reasonably priced. Would recommend to any one.
