Reviews in Grasmere

We always visit Lewis’s twice during our annual stay in the Lakes. Fabulous food and exceptional service. A unique small friendly family run restaurant. Wish we had one nearer home! Favourite Dish each visit - Eccles Cake pudding Best Meal this year- Steak with Peppercorn Sauce Everything is excellent - fresh, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Thank you

Great food & service will definitely be back again

Great food, friendly staff, we had a really lovely evening. Will definitely visit again on our next return to Grasmere.

Thank you all for a very tasty meal on Friday last. There were four in our party and all expressed their appreciation in the food presentation and especially the taste. We would all like to say thanks to all the staff . I particularly enjoyed the eton mess. Many thanks we’ll definitely be back. Kind regards Frank.

A small restaurant gem in the heart of Grasmere. This is the third time we have eaten at Lewis's Bistro and the standard of food remains consistently high. There is not an extensive choice (which is to be welcomed) as that means that what they do offer is cooked and presented very well. It is always full whenever we have eaten there with a mixed clientele from families to couples or all ages. Would recommend for anyone visiting Grasmere - but you need to book ahead.

Just a quick note to let you all at Lewis Bistro that we all had a lovely evening on Friday last. We all thought the food, service and atmosphere were all to our liking and when we visit our girls again will most certainly be back. Frank, Gilly, Simone and Lyndsey who are both Ambleside girls.

Wow, excellent in every way! Friendly, efficient staff, great food, what more could you want! A great way to spend an evening on our Silver Wedding Anniversary

We came in on Saturday night for the later sitting. We did have to wait a few minutes for our table, which we didn’t mind at all, and the staff were very apologetic for the wait. Anyway the wait was worth it. The food was exceptional. We both had Sirloin steak and it was cooked to perfection. So nice to get some fresh mixed vegetables along with the chunky chips, mushroom and vine tomatoes.

Visited this popular Bistro many times this last two years. Always found the staff very attentive and obliging and the food excellent. No different this year. Been twice already and tried most of the menu.

Booked a table for five of us for 8pm and our table was not ready, this is not a huge problem but we felt awkward standing around by other diners. The starters were nice, although arrived before we’d finished with the bread and olives. Three of us had sea bass with what were supposed to be sauté potatoes. The potatoes were large boiled in their skins and slightly brown on one side, not sautéed. The vegetables were overcooked and not very exciting. The staff were very pleasant but the meal itself was disappointing and not worth the money we paid.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff and flexible enough to allow an extra guest. The food was delicious and attractively presented. This is our third visit, but we will be back!

Terrific night with friends. Everything was pretty perfect. Spent about £50 each

Had a wonderful meal last night. The food was excellent and so was the service

We went to Lewis’s twice during our 4 day visit to Grasmere and thoroughly enjoyed both nights, lovely food and great waitresses, can’t speak highly enough of the restaurant

We found this little bistro quite by chance on our visit to Grasmere, and what a find it was. The restaurant was spotlessly clean, the staff were welcoming and attentive and the whole atmosphere was pleasantly relaxing. We thought the menu may have been priced a little on the high side...until we tasted our meals! The quality of the food and the presentation was some way ahead of other establishments we had eaten at locally and was very much worth paying for, especially as my gluten free diet was so we'll catered for (save yourself for the desserts!). We thought this was a little gem of a place and if you are in the Grasmere area and enjoy genuinely good food and service, you should give it a try.

Our good to place every time we visit the Lakes ... A small family business who work very hard to make you feel welcome with great service and food

My husband and me had a fantastic meal here. His fillet steak was cooked to perfection and my king prawn curry was delicious. The Chef came and chatted with us and made ys feel welcome The lady owner/manager? was lovely and friendly. A great wee place.
