Reviews in Grasmere

Excellent in all respects, as always.

We enjoyed of meal at Lewis’s. Everything was fine but we needed a gap between our starter and our main course. No sooner had the starter gone within 1-2 minutes the main course arrived. We could have been in and out in 40 minutes. I don’t know if that was to get the 2nd sitting in but just felt rushed.

A first session booking on a Tuesday evening for my wife and I ( we booked our Deerhound in too). Starter of Bury black pudding, mains of sea bass and slow roast pork, desserts of Bakewell tart and Eccles cake. All food perfectly cooked, presented and served. A good wine list to suit all menu items and individual tastes. Staff mannerly, pleasant and professional the Bistro itself tastefully decorated and comfortable. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this establishment which gave us a most enjoyable evening, many thanks..

During a recent stay in Grasmere my wife and I dined at Lewis's Bistro during the evenings of Sat 1st and Tues 4th July 2023. On both occasions we had a very enjoyable meal of several courses chosen from a varied and satisfying menu. The food, wine and service was excellent. We will definitely return to Lewis's Bistro when we next visit Grasmere.

Beautiful food and wine , absolutely perfect . Lovely bistro with a high end menu. Will definitely be back next time we are in Grasmere .

Another amazing night last night for our anniversary...food absolutely beautiful....amazing staff ....always asking if everything is fine....fantastic customer experience....see you in August.

Second time at Lewis's and won't be the last. Fabulous food served by friendly attentive staff.

My husband had the pork belly which was very good. I ordered the cod loins which was actually just a piece of cod. It was just ok. Ice cream was good.

We had an absolutely fabulous meal, couldn’t actually fault anything, food was delicious, atmosphere was lovely and the staff were first class, If we come back to Grasmere we will definitely be booking again - wonderful restaurant - a little gem

Fantastic place to eat the staff were very friendly and helpful the food was amazing quickly served and piping hot and the sweets were also delicious will definitely visit again a real gem of a place not to be missed

The bistro is quite, unassuming. The food is anything but. Presentation is fine dining and generous to a fault. Taste, in the same league. Try anything on the menu, especially the pork belly wrapped in superb crackling, why have pork if it's not layered with flavour and topped with a crunch ? The Sea Bass fillet has a fine, subtle edge, without losing itself. Great with our fav wine the Argentine Malbec. A serious vino that leaves fruits and a fun burnt toffee on the palate. The menu has so many taste treats. We always share olives as a starter. Doorstep slices of brown and white bread are dipped in oil and balsamic, perfect with plump tasty olives. Service is second to none. A quiet table is always available. We felt looked after, left alone to ponder a menu, fussed over when the food arrives. Value for money ? Fine dining requires skill, economics are matched with a generous bowl, plate, crammed but not over the top and even of it was you would scoff the lot. All in all there's every reason to visit this little gem tucked under the hills surrounding Grasmere.

We ordered fillet steak and sea bass …. Both absolutely delicious!! Great atmosphere, warm welcome , lovely staff. Great value for money, will definitely be returning soon .

Had a lovely meal here last Friday, we booked in advance. Food was great, with great service. Thank you

The food was exceptionally good, the staff worked very hard and were helpful and polite. I would definitley recommend this restaurant to everyone, it was a superb meal after a long walking day.

We ate here again twice last week.Superb as usual.Great service great food.Pork belly was amazing. Top quality all round

Dined on 1/7/23 with my husband. Ordered scallops and king prawn bao to start, both lovely. For mains we had the Seabass in tandoori butter which was lovely (not too powerful a flavour, it really complimented the fish) and pork belly. Both dishes were lovely. Had cheeseboard for dessert. Service was lovely, atmosphere was lovely, food was brilliant, the little bistro itself was so cute and cosy. Would return. 10/10. Brought our dog and she was welcomed with a biscuit.

Food was good, but not exceptional. Service was fine. The atmosphere was less of a restaurant or Bistro more an upmarket cafe. Too many tables, very noisy and crowded. Price rather high for what it is, £7 for a pint of lager! Not bad but I wouldn’t visit again.

Excellent food Good atmosphere
