Reviews in Grasmere

A lovely little restaurant in the heart of Grasmere, with friendly, welcoming staff and delicious food.

A lovely little bistro with plenty of atmosphere, friendly efficient service and most importantly wonderful food at reasonable prices. What more to like! We will definitely be back next time we are staying in the area.

What a gem! We always make sure we visit when coming to the Lakes. The food is delicious and expertly cooked. Service is friendly and professional. Can’t fault it.

Lovely meal in a nice relaxed atmosphere. Food was really good and the staff were friendly. Would recommend if staying in Grasmere and would definitely go back.

Great food; great service; great atmosphere - will definitively go again

Amazing food & service!!

Lovely food, in a cosy, friendly setting. Good value. All staff were helpful, attentive and food tasted great. Thank you.

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.

lovely 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

Our first visit of 2025 did not disappoint. We had a lovely warm welcome from Amanda & Lewis. The food was amazing as always. We will be back in June & would highly recommend any one to visit this lovely cosy Bistro in the beautiful village of Grasmere. We have been going to this Bistro for at least 7 years and it never disappoints.

Our second visit did not disappoint. Quietish early evening slot and everything was good. The food was delicious and the service was smooth.

Had a absolutely lovely meal here while we were staying in Grassmere. I had Scallops to start cooked to perfection, followed by surf and turf. My husband had terrine to start followed by the lamb rump every element delightful. Small family run business really excellent service. We would come back if in the area again thank you.

A cozy, friendly, restaurant with excellent food.

We revisited this charming bistro for the second time last Saturday. It was every bit as good as we remembered! The food was absolutely gorgeous and the waiting staff so friendly and informative. My steak was a little overcooked and the portion of peppercorn sauce was tiny, hence the 4/5 food review. However the steak was melt in the mouth and our lovely waitress said I could have had more sauce if I'd asked. Lesson leaned! Would definitely recommend. Will definitely go back.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Lovely and warm inside as well. We will be definitely back x

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. I am a diagnosed Coeliac and felt very confident that the chef would do his utmost to avoid cross contamination, although it was a small kitchen. Saying that, talking to the chef afterwards, he said that he doesn’t have flour in his kitchen. He uses cornflour if he has to. With regards to atmosphere , my husband and I were the first customers in for the early sitting, although gradually during our meal the restaurant did fill up. We didn’t feel rushed or uncomfortable though. I had salmon which was delicious and a huge piece. My husband had the Belly Pork which he thoroughly enjoyed. We ate here originally on the Wednesday night and before leaving, booked again for the Saturday night. I would definitely recommend.

A superb restaurant with a great menu. The warm friendly service was first class. I would not hesitate recommending this restaurant to anyone. We will definitely be back.
