Reviews in Grasmere

I was a little surprised that it appears impossible to book over the telephone as a recorded message requests you to book on-line. This was easy enough but means you cannot discuss anything you might wish to prior to booking. We found the welcome and service very friendly and efficient. Our meals were well cooked with good ingredients and generous portions. We thought they were a little expensive but in line with other eateries in Grasmere. Our only disappointment is that the restaurant is an unbroken rectangular shape with no private or intimate dining spaces and in fact the tables are tightly packed in together and we felt uncomfortable close to other diners.

We had a lovely meal at Lewis’s Bistro. The French Onion soup was delicious and one of the best I’ve tasted . We had the Cumbrian pork , which was excellent but spoiled with the amount of mashed potato. It was far too much . We also noticed that quite a few diners left some of their meal. I’m sure this was only due to the portions being far too big. The staff here are excellent . Really friendly, courteous and professional. Would definitely return when we are next in the Lake District.

We had a fantastic meal. The sea bass with scallops was amazing followed by the 5 cheese, cheese board to share. The service was fantastic and couldn't faulted.

Excellent bistro. We were there on Tuesday and Wednesday 24/25 May 2022. All the staff are lovely and friendly. The food is amazing. I had the Halibut on one night and then the fillet steak the following night. Just gorgeous. Couldn’t fault it. Well done Lewis.

Delicious food and friendly, helpful staff

Great food! Very friendly and helpful staff. Enjoyed it a lot

Visited recently and wasn't disappointed the bistro is lovely food delicious. Service was very good. Definately will come bk

Once again I was pleasantly surprised by how good this bistro is.y wife and I enjoyed a super meal, with belly pork as our mains. Succulent, melt in the mouth pork, with smooth and tasty mash. Portion size was large so we settled for a affagato. Again good portions. We'll be back.

Excellent food and glass of red wine. Gorgeous restaurant and atmosphere. Also accommodated our dog and baby. We visit here each time in Grasmere.

We came here on a Saturday night for my birthday and we had a lovely evening. We were very late booking anything so we had a booking at 8.45pm but got there a bit early at about 8.30 and they were able to seat us early. Our server, Ethan, was great and very attentive. We had a lovely bottle of house white wine, and then I had the chicken which was absolutely lovely and my boyfriend had the pork which just melted in your mouth. We also couldn't go wrong with a sticky toffee pudding at the end. It was a lovely evening and if we're in Grasmere again, we'd be very happy to come back!

Great food! Lovely staff.

Excellent meal. Great gluten free options. Friendly helpful staff.

Great food, great service. The restaurant had a good atmosphere. The only gripe we had was as soon as our starter was finished and taken away our main was out in front of us literally about 10 seconds later.

Fantastic food! Staff attentive and lovely atmosphere. Can’t fault it.

Wonderful gem of a restaurant. Food was delicious; we had the scallops which were lovely, the pork belly was cooked to perfection. Service was delightful. Highly recommended!

A nice bistro, very friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, good food and a good range of choices.

Enjoyed the food and atmosphere at this lovely place. The staff are so friendly and attentive too. We tried to book for another evening but it is so popular that we couldn't get in - the best evening meal that we had during our stay in Grasmere by far; highly recommended.

The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. We had a lovely evening
