Reviews in Grasmere

Very pleasant meal in comfortable and relaxed surroundings, and restaurant accommodated a later sitting when we were delayed in traffic. My partner and I had the pork belly which was tasty. Only negative was the poor reception. On our arrival, a member of staff looked at us enter then walked away, then we were greeted shortly after by a friendly staff member. Thereafter service was everything you would expect.

1st impressions when walking in was seeing the chef chatting to customers wearing a pair of shorts and an apron covered in basically all that he had cooked that week...not a good sight. Meal was ok but the staff seemed to rush us out as quickly as possible, as one waitress took away our starters another brought our main, didnt even get time to drink the bland wine we ordered . We had been to Grassmere a couple of times before and tried to get into this restaurant thinking it would be a nice place but each time it was fully booked, seems we were let down. We ate at our hotel next day , we were not let down there one bit.

Strange experience. Staff are rather aloof. Meal seemed to be straight out of the freezer and into the microwave. On a plus point. Ideal location within the beautiful village of Grasmere.

An enjoyable evening in what is very much like a small French bistro. Food, service and atmosphere were all good.

Food was very good, if a little pricey. we both agreed it was the best meal we had eaten in a long while. Nice variety and choice on menu. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Tables were a little squashed in.

Had a fantastic meal, I had cod which was beautifully cooked, lovely staff & atmosphere, thank-you

We enjoyed an excellent mail at Lewis's Bistro. Food, service and atmosphere all really good. Local steaks were excellent quality and cooked beautifully. If you are staying in Grasmere, highly recommended but book ahead.

This is the 3rd time we have had the pleasure of dining at Lewis's Bistro and as always, it never disappoints! We had a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. The food and wine were excellent and the staff, as ever, friendly and helpful. We are very much looking forward to our next visit. Thank you

We were sorry not to have found Lewis's Bistro earlier in our stay in Grasmere. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and surroundings and would recommend a visit.

Servers were very rude about me coming by myself. One of the actually shouted into the restaurant “that’s because we don’t do tables for one”, as I was being seated. The medium rare filet I ordered was basically boiled hamburger. The desert was very good. Strange place.

We had a really lovely evening at Lewis's. Fantastic food, a lovely classy but slightly quirky vibe and the service was outstanding. Special mention to our waitress who's name I have now sadly forgotten but if I say "daffodil" you'll know who I mean. Definitely would recommend a visit and we shall return.

Lovely meal great staff atmosphere good. Particularly enjoyed belly pork . We enjoyed a very nice evening.

A must for a restaurant visit if you’re in the area, great ambience, fabulous food and wine and the staff are absolutely lovely. I would very highly recommend! We will definitely be back

Another fabulous meal at Lewis'. Great menu, beautifully cooked and presented, great service. Highly recommend you visit.

Great food. Relaxed atmosphere. Attentive & friendly staff. Fully booked but felt very well looked after. Couldn’t resist the Bakewell Tart for pud. Thoroughly enjoyed - not a “fine dining” experience but a fabulous evening in an obviously well- regarded establishment. Would happily return.

The best rack of lamb I’ve had and also the best meal so far this year. I considered havig it again for desert but instead had the cheese. Also Amazing. Wine was perfect. Very grateful to the staff for their attentive service. Well done to all.

This is a venue not to be missed! The food was exceptional, and certainly the best in the lakes region

Visited this small restaurant on our recent visit to Grasmere. It only has a very small kitchen and the food that came out of it is delicious . My husband said the sticky toffee pudding was the best he had tasted . If we lived nearer we would be regulars:)
