Two of us ate a really tasty dinner at Lewis's Bistro. The food and service were excellent and it turned out to be by far the best of several meals in Grasmere during a short stay. The food was clearly freshly sources and cooked to order and there was a friendly service atmosphere. The cheese board was particularly notable.
Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereVEGANS & VEGETARIANS BEWARE !!! When ordering our vegetarian order we found out THAT ALL THEIR FRIED FOOD WAS COOKED IN THE SAME OIL AS THE FISH and as was we pointed out to the seemingly uninterested manager and fuming manager that this is not written on the menu to warn all vegans and vegetarians that their chips, sweet potato fries or anything that needed to be fried were in fact not the real real deal The manager was rude and clearly couldn't be bothered and in fact was so rude that he tried desperately to make us feel uncomfortable after complaining which didn't succeed as we just laughed because he reminded us so much of Basil Fawlty from Fawlty towers, but that aside this is a very serious matter indeed and needs to be addressed URGENTLY!!!!!
The Westmorland Inn – WindermereExcellent food and service would highly recommend

The Music Room Restaurant at Augill Castle – Kirkby StephenThe staff were extremely welcoming upon our arrival, greeting us and giving us a choice of tables even though the restaurant was fairly busy. Service was great, asking us promptly for drinks, again for ordering our food. The food was delicious, we had starter mains and deserts and there wasn’t a single thing wrong with any dish. Thanks for a lovely night and if we return to grasmere we will certainly be back here!

Lewis’s Bistro – GrasmereWe had a wonderful meal on Wednesday, the service was spot on, the food plentyful, cooked very well full of flavour. Excellent value for money if we lived closer we'd be dining here more often. Will definitely be booking again the next time we're in Carlisle.
La Mezzaluna – CarlisleLovely restaurant and very pleasant young waiter made for a nice evening. Vegetarian main options were limited to a salad and a macaroni cheese . Given that vegetarians are usually paying similar prices for cheaper ingredients , I feel restaurants should be judged by the care and time put into creating imaginative vegetarian dishes and expertise in cooking - there are so many brilliant vegetarian recipes out there it should not be a problem - the macaroni dish was penne in a very liquid cheese source - I believe I would have served a better and more balanced version of this dish for any weekday family dinner so I can’t rate highly I’m afraid.
