Reviews in Grasmere

Very disappointed in the nearly hour wait for our meal. Even more disappointed when paying my bill, and asked how it was. I kept it polite and said “ok”. But was pressed by the lady over and over to expand and when I did, she didn’t like my answer and as good as tried to turn it on ourselves. Never experienced customer service like it. I have booked for another meal for next Friday 24 Jul 26 at this bistro but obviously can you cancel this now please. Thankyou.

We had the most delicious meal at Lewis's Bistro - probably one of our best meals ever! I had the chicken with mushrooms and fondant potato in a gorgeous cream sauce and my hubby the sea bass which was equally delicious. The accompanying fresh vegetables were cooked to perfection too. We've eaten in many top restaurants all over the UK and Lewis's Bistro was up there with the rest! If Giles Coren were to visit Grasmere he would agree. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening in your lovely restaurant - we will def be back and will recommend to friends and family too x

Fantastic meal here, We shared the paprika hummus to start. We had red curry and seabass for mains and shared cheesecake for afters. It was all delicious. The service was great, nice and friendly and welcoming. Think booking is essential as we noticed a number of people walking in and asking if they could have a table. But there was nothing available. We would definitely recommend and definitely return.

Food was lovely steak was cooked to perfection. If you are visiting Grasmere this place is a must

Food was beautiful and staff very helpful. Next time in the area def visit again.

What a delightful place to enjoy good, healthy food and a friendly atmosphere. Very unstuffy and realistically priced but with the feel that this is a good place for a special occasion. The seabass was astounding and yes I really enjoyed the pork belly too. Also plenty of veg which makes a change after a week of pub meals.

Excellent meal and very friendly staff, had the tempura vegetables and the prawns for starters and the confit pork and the herb crusted cod for mains and they were all delicious, best pork belly I have had in years.

We had a fantastic meal and can't recommend Lewis's highly enough for top quality dining in Grasmere. We shared a generous portion of bread, oil, balsamic and olives to start, then both had seabass which was a very well presented and fantastic tasting dish, a good portion size too. I only just had room to squeeze in the essential sticky toffee pudding! We rolled out very satisfied. Another customer nearby was not happy that the cheeseboard was unavailable, but they can't really help it if their delivery didn't arrive. We thought the service was great from the gent serving us and it was a really delicious meal, also lovely wine, where we were not rushed. Would definitely return (again) when next in the area.

Simply outstanding, the best restaurant meal we have had for a long time.

Excellent food we really enjoyed our evening and will be back next time we are in Grasmere.

Delicious food and attentive service. Generous portion of vegetables served with fish. Would highly recommend.

Excellent as always! Food tasty and plentiful. Good atmosphere. Staff friendly. Even our dog had a good time with plenty of doggie treats! Would recommend.

Fabulous food and amazing service. Everything was very tasty and beautifully presented. I would highly recommend.

A perfect meal to end a great week in Grasmere. We booked a couple of weeks in advance and were not disappointed! Easy to walk to if you are staying in Grasmere, or there is a great bus service too that stops near the bistro. The food was amazing with lots of gluten free options. Even though, I was full, having read a previous review I had the cheesecake, it was indeed delicious. The service was faultless, attentive but not overbearing and just the right amount of time between courses. A must visit if you are in Grasmere but remember to book.

Lovely meal with good choice of gluten free options. Very popular bistro so it's best to book a table. The fillet steak with a blue cheese sauce was excellent.

It’s our go to place to eat when we go to Grasmere and get again the food was amazing. If you want a chilled fuss free night with genuine service and great food come here

Stayed in Grasmere for the first time and decided to eat here. Food great. Very nice vibe. Would highly recommend booking to eat here.

What a great place!! We had a wonderful dinner outside during the great heat wave of 2026 and it could have been a better evening. Delicious wine, a great setting, friendly service and yummy food. Highly recommended and not a thing I would have changed!
