Reviews in Grasmere

Great meal Prompt friendly service in an informal Bistro setting Thoroughly recommend

Excellent food, Great atmosphere

First visit to the restaurant, we liked the menu choices so booked . Lovely ambience, great service & the food was excellent. Definitely recommend.

Lovely buzzy atmosphere. Staff friendly and attentive. Food tasty and well presented. Service was quick. I would strongly recommend this place.

This was our third time dining at Lewis’s and was as good as it has been in the past. I had scallops and lamb chops, husband had the creamy mushrooms and the chicken pea curry. Our children ordered the arrabiatta pasta from the childrens menu. I know arrabiatta sauce is spicy but I thought it would be toned down for the childrens menu. Unfortunately not. However, the staff were wonderful with overtired (after a busy day) youngest son and offered him a replacement dish. Great value for money, the dishes are very substantial. We’re back in Grasmere in a couple of weeks so I’m sure we will be visiting the Bistro again.

AMAZING, Thankyou

Loved the ambience but the food was the real winner! Fantastic quality and quantity. Thoroughly recommend a visit but make sure you book.

Excellent small Bistro with a good menu. Quality of food was very good, I had a fillet steak which was as good as I have eaten in a long time. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Glad we looked on line before travelling and booked this venue.

Wonderful small bistro...make sure you book in plenty of time. Great menu and food delicious and always piping hot, large portions too, much appreciated by my sons. The staff are lovely. We always try to book in when we are in Grasmere.

We always have a lovely night at Lewis’s Friendly staff and great food

We enjoyed our two meals at Lewis's. The food was cooked well and portions were reasonable. Something on the menu for both of us. The staff were friendly and service good. One personal reflection was that the choice of desserts didn't quite chime with the nature of starters and mains. While sticky toffee pudding is popular and I can see why it would be on the menu, the other selections were also very sweet and heavy eg treacle and lemon curd tart, eccles cake with treacle (theme here?) cheesecake and chocolate cake etc. Perhaps less treacle?

Excellent restaurant, our waitress was lovely and very helpful. The portion size was large which we appreciated after a day hiking. Everything was beautifully cooked and we had an excellent bottle of wine. Would highly recommend. Will definitely return here in the future.

Fabulous find. We booked last minute and can’t fault it in any way. Highly recommend the food and ambiance,

2nd time here. Atmosphere still good. But owner was not cooking and my sea bass was a totally different dish to when he was. Sauce poured over the fish making the skin soggy not crispy as it had been before. Supposed to be served with samphire but only a minute amount a teaspoonful. Other vegetables on the plate very soggy. Lobster sauce not very pleasant. So disappointed as had really been looking forward to the night based on our first visit. Also dead flowers in the window boxes not a good look.

Lovely fish dish, and excellent cheeseboard (i had the blue, the smoked, and the brie). White wine was really good too

Lovely atmosphere and really attentive staff. Nice choice of food and wine and I picked a great steak. Expertly cooked with great chunky chips. Fantastic and great value for money. When back in the area this will be on my list for a return visit.

Delicious food. Great service and atmosphere!

Had an amazing meal here...Stopped in a highly rated hotel for a few nights in Grasmere and decided to try somewhere different to eat on our last night, wish we had found it sooner!! The whole experience was brilliant and far superior to the food in our 5 star hotel. Will definitely be returning and more than happy to give this 5 stars.
