Reviews in Grasmere

Lovely restaurant in a beautiful location. Friendly staff with great food. The pork belly was wonderful. Ate in several places during our week stay and this was the best, although the most expensive.

Fabulous food , lovely setting with excellent staff . We had Friday dinner and as it was so good we booked the Saturday as well . The fish dishes were excellent.

An excellent meal in pleasant surroundings served by friendly staff.

Lovely little bistro. Nice staff and quality food.

Warm cosy place, had a lovely evening

Food and service certainly OK but Lewis’s is relatively expensive and I wasn’t convinced high prices were justified

Ate here on a Tuesday night during the Easter holidays and had a lovely time. Nice atmosphere, very good food and great service. The standout dish was the pork belly which was amazing. Highly recommended, and the best restaurant we found in our 3 night stay in Grasmere.

Our best meal of 3 different restaurants during our stay in Grasmere. Attentive service at our advance reserved table. Good quality food, nicely presented. Paid the bill to Amanda & happened to mention it was my birthday treat. Thank you for the complementary limoncello's.

Great food, friendly staff

Very nice although menu very limited I had lamb chops which were beautifully cooked but the roasted beetroot didn’t work for me so maybe leave it off this dish .

A warm welcome to the Bistro we sat near the window, I had French onion soup, with a cheesy crouton, very nice, my sister had the cheese soufflé described as excellent. We both had the Chicken supreme with green beans, carrots, lovely fried potatoes, chorizo and gravy. Again we could not fault this dish and ate the lot. With 2 large glasses of very nice red wine and table water we really enjoyed our evening. We enjoyed watching the antics of the new lambs in the field opposite the bistro which was really busy. Do book if you wish to come for really good food.

Excellent meal definitely be back

Ate here on a Tuesday evening in late March and it was nearly full, a very good sign. Very friendly and professional staff and excellent food. I had lamb chops while my wife had pork belly, both were lovely with everything on the plates cooked perfectly. We shared a selection of three very good local cheeses and were both full at the end. There are gluten free options on all courses with most mains being gf and I was given gf biscuits with the cheese (I'm coeliac). Good portions of great food made for a very good end to the day. The only issue, bizarrely, was with the door which opened suddenly and quite robustly when the handle was turned, hitting my forehead, this needs addressing (I would guess some imbalance in air pressure), but otherwise a very enjoyable meal.

What a perfect meal, blonde lady who served us was really friendly and funny, as were the rest of the staff, waiter was cool and looked like a rock star! what more can I say, it was just really really nice and the perfect way to spend our last night in the lakes. Massive thumbs up from us. x

Lovely staff, friendly atmosphere and excellent food.

Booked a table on the Friday 25th March for my wife and myself, we had the olive and bread starter which was lovely , we both had the Fillet steak, which was fantastic and melted in your mouth , the service was great and staff really friendly and nice , all i can say is it was that good we went back again on the Saturday , and had another really nice meal , for me this is the best eating place in Grasmere ,other places we tried were over expensive and the food quality and service didnt get anywhere near Lewis Bistro. Keep up the good work guys and see you all again soon .

We booked Lewis’s several weeks in advance of our visit to Grasmere after reading excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. We almost cancelled on reading more up to date poor reviews but read between the lines and decided to proceed with the booking. So glad we did! The staff were welcoming, the food and wine delicious and we left the restaurant saying it was the best meal we’d had in a long time. We will definitely return if in the area in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending to others.
