Reviews in Grasmere

This is a relatively unknown gem in Grassmere. The menu choice is extensive and incorporates some interesting specials. My son and I shared baked camembert to start ,served with a pleasant chuckney, salad, dressing and bread. For main course my son tried ostrich and i had beautifully cooked beef strogonoff. Washed down with local bottled beer , it was a thoroughly pleasant experience. We will definitely revisit when we next stay in the south lakes . I just don't understand why there was only one other full table on a friday evening. Shame so many are missing out !

Lovely dining room and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble.

Are at Lewis’s Bistro for our anniversary on 9th April! From start to finish we were made to feel welcome! Lovely atmosphere and amazing food.

What a wonderful find. So pleased we booked here last minute. Great, fresh menu which caters for all dietary requirements (pescatarian, vegan and gluten free in our party). All of our choices were delicious with generous portions. Really lovely staff and very relaxed, jovial atmosphere. The extra effort (eg gluten free shortbread with dessert) was much appreciated. Fantastic.

Good ambience and excellent food, both menu choices and presentation. The cheeseboard with unusual crackers, celery, grapes and apple slices all imaginatively displayed, with our cheese choices was a great finale.

Second time visiting here and it was equally as good. A bit kooky, the staff are absolutely lovely and the chef is a top chap. I had the Kung Po and it was lovely. Dog friendly as well.

Lovely food, great service, really nice little restaurant. Cosy and welcoming Would definitely visit again

Booked Lewis Bistro for my wife and I for her birthday while staying in Grasmere for a couple of night last week. We had a great evening with good food, atmosphere and service! Look forward to getting back at some point.

Excellent food in a delightful little bistro with fabulous service. Best monkfish I have ever had and will most definitely be back next time we are in Grasmere. Only slightly negative comment is about the toilets which should be cleaner and don’t do the restaurant justice.

We had a wonderful experience at Lewis Bistro. The welcoming staff and fantastic food made my visit truly enjoyable. However, the restaurant allowing dogs to walk past diners while eating was a bit off-putting. Overall, I would still recommend this place for its great service and delicious dishes."

Excellent food, nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly attentive staff

We visited due to the very good reviews and wanted a special evening out whilst away. It is a very nice place and the staff friendly and welcoming. I chose the Lamb Shank, given the good reviews, however mine was well overcooked, some of it being inedible, the rest also ruined. Reluctantly they discounted the meal but sadly the night was not the special evening out we wanted, a shame given the many good reviews.

Lovely restaurant, high quality food and service. Recommended.

Lovely food and atmosphere. This is our 3rd visit and enjoyable as previous visits. Portion sizes are really good with the cheese selection being a big hit for us. We will be back for more visits.

First time here and we’re not disappointed….the atmosphere was perfect, buzzing but not noisy. Friendly knowledgeable staff who really seemed to care and were passionate about the food they were serving….and no wonder, everything we ordered was top class. We had scollops, garlic mushrooms followed by steak and pork belly, everything perfectly cooked and excellently presented. Couldn’t fault any aspect of our visit, we will definitely be booking next time we are in Grasmere, thank you for a great evening.

Food was excellent, staff were lovely. Dog friendly. It was quiet when we went in March so the atmosphere could have been better but overall I don’t know why the place wasn’t packed. Good value for money. Please visit, you won’t regret it

Found online and ended up booking a table. Location excellent and dog friendly. Food was excellent with great selection of wines. Staff friendly and were extremely helpful. Would definitely visit again the next time we are visiting Grassmere.

This was the best meal of our 4 night stay in Grasmere, the food was excellent, I had the filet of beef and my wife the pancetta rolled monk fish, the service very friendly and professional and we drank a really good English wine from Gloucestershire. This is a dog friendly restaurant that did not bother us as the owners new 9 week old puppy was there for us to coo over.
