Reviews in Grasmere

Wonderful food. Lovely young staff

Thank you for a great evening. We thought the atmosphere, food and service were great. One of the best meals we have had. Especially the lovely French Onion Soup and the Seabass Have a good Summer Alasdair

We booked this restaurant after reading reviews about it and were not disappointed, food was excellent, I had chicken supreme and and my husband had pork with crackling , the vegetables accompanying the meal were all cooked to perfection and a good selection. We treat ourselves to a desert and again we were not disappointed. All staff were very friendly and the restaurant had a good atmosphere. We booked in advance which I would recommend, we made our booking online, the process was very easy,

The food was excellent- well presented and delicious. I had the French Onion soup and slow cooked pork , only problem - I was too full for a dessert - which looked great. The staff were all great , very friendly and helpful. You need to book as gets very busy . I’d definitely go again if in Grasmere.

We have eaten many times at the Bistro but this was not one of the better experiences. The main course that we had chosen was not available, and neither was the wine that we had selected. The garlic mushrooms were excessively loaded with garlic and the halibut was tasteless. The beans and carrots served with the halibut were overcooked and oddly tasting. On the positive side, the scallops were excellent and the steak well cooked and presented.

This is a splendid place to eat. The staff are very accommodating and the food is wonderful.

A nice comfortable little bistro.Laid back atmosphere,small menu but understandable as only one chef.However the menu is varied,something for everyone.The belly pork and black pudding starter very good and the fillet was well cooked and rested.The young waiter was a really nice guy,a real asset to this business ,I feel that if he hadn’t been there our visit would not have been so good. Lowest mark for VFM as I thought it a bit pricey at around £125 for two courses for a couple,mind you that included a couple of drinks and wine. I always think “would I recommend or go back again”,the answer to both is YES.

A most friendly reception at a busy time. Service was efficient and the youngster in her first few days was to be commended. Obviously good training. We had been lucky to get our table as Bistro almost full, but this did not detract from the quality of the food which was very tasty and well presented.Shame we live too far away to frequent this spot! I sat with my back to the room, so marked the atmosphere down (4.75/5)

We enjoyed evening meal here 25th June. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food was good value and a decent bottle of red. Would eat here again if in yhe area.

My husband and I had a lovely evening meal at the bistro The service, food and wine were all lovely and our highlight was the the desert of warm Eccles cake with ice cream I would recommend the bistro to anyone staying in grasmere

Overall the experience was disappointing. It did not meet our expectations. At first we noticed that the top of the table water bottle was not clean( I wiped the top of the bottle with a tissue to remove the black sediment ). We both agreed that the fish (halibut)was over cooked - quite ‘chewy’ and lacking in flavour.The beans were also over cooked.

Gorgeous food in a lovely restaurant. We could have happily eaten here every evening of our visit to Grasmere.

Our second visit to Lewis's Bistro in a week. Food, service and prices all excellent

Not impressed. High prices for impersonal service and only average food. Had better meal in Grasmere the previous night at 2/3 price

Lovely food, lovely ambiance. Very attentive service. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We were a bit underwhelmed with the food. It seemed that the vegetables were similar for all meals and rather overcooked. It is average food with a bigger price . Other options that are better in Grasmere

Perfect from start to finish! Loved every single thing about our Lewis' experience from a warm and friendly welcome, great ambiance friendly and attentive service and divine food! We had the hallibut steak and the sea bass which were both incredible (and very good value for money too). Thank you. We will return when next in Grasmere!

Very good food and atmosphere.
