Reviews in Grasmere

We ate here on Saturday March 12th. Lewis’s Bistro is a warm and welcoming restaurant with an excellent atmosphere. Our food was first class as was the friendly and attentive service. Altogether a really good evening out.

Lovely atmosphere, great service and delicious food. Really wanted to try the interesting cheeseboard but didn’t have room after the starter and main course.

This was our first time at Lewis Bistro, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. It was fairly quiet, but for a Thursday evening out of season, I guess that could be expected, but the atmosphere was still very warm and welcoming, and we will definitely be back.

Our meal at Lewis’s bistro was absolutely gorgeous! The staff are very friendly and we didn’t have to wait for too long before the meal arrived. The only thing was it felt quite cold in the bistro maybe there was a problem with the heating? But we will happily return in the future.

Had a lovely meal at Lewis’s bistro. Friendly staff, made a real fuss of our dog which was nice. Food was excellent - husband had lamb and I had fillet steak. Wonderful. Quite expensive but fine for a one off treat

Second visit and food remains of a good standard. However it’s a bit lacking in atmosphere. Tables in line with the door tend to be a little on the cool side

This was our second visit to Lewis’ Bistro and again the meal was absolutely fantastic. The food is superb and restaurant has a lovely friendly atmosphere. This is now one of our favourite places to eat in the Lakes , and we will definitely be returning on our next trip.

Restaurant first night opening. Had to eat with my coat on it was so cold In the Restaurant. Food was reasonable service was good.

Love this place. Yet again had a fabulous meal couldn’t have been more perfect. Staff were so helpful and friendly. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 for the “atmosphere” was because it was quite cold in there (but that was probably because it was snowing outside!!)

Delicious food, beautifully presented. Knowledgeable, friendly and efficient service.

beautiful food, excellent service. Would certainly eat their again next time we are in Grasmere

Really lovely small bistro in Grasmere. Everything from the food to the service was excellent. Will definitely be visiting next time we are in the lakes.

This is a really lovely friendly bistro with absolutely delicious food and excellent service. We will most definitely return when we are next back in Grasmere, or the lakes and will call in!!

Put quite simply you have to book to eat here, we live in Keswick and booked a taxi to make life easier (the wine is also exceptionally good) and wouldnt hesitate to return again (this was a return visit as well!) The service is brilliant, the food is sublime, the atmosphere I love, small enough to be intimate busy enough to not be intrusive. Perfect. Thank you all.

A lovely friendly bistro with delicious food and excellent service. We will definitely return when we are back in Grasmere. Thank you

Had a lovely meal here and the scallops, sea bass and rum & raisin rice pudding were delicious. The staff very very pleasant and helpful with good level of interaction. Certainly worth a visit

Booked a table here for 7 o'clock . Arrived and the restaurant was busy . Ordered black pudding , chorizo and mushroom starter which was exceptional . This was followed by sea bass with vegetables and finally rum rice pudding with raisins and rum and raisin ice cream . Beautiful . Staff were friendly and attentive .

We thought Grasmere had everything for a small village, as we spent the afternoon visiting the small and galleries. We were only here for an overnight stay and we were looking for somewhere to eat for the evening, most of the hotel restaurants had no room for non-residents, so our choice was limited. We discovered Lewis's bistro at the end of our walk and it was on-line booking only and thought, "Not much chance of coming here for a meal tonight". We followed the on-line instructions posted on the window and were surprised to get a table for 7pm. When we arrived at seven o'clock, we had a warm welcome and there were a number of tables seating two people and we were told to take a table we wanted to sit at, which we thought was novel rather than be given a table not of our choosing. The general atmosphere was very friendly and the service was excellent once we had placed our order. There were no long waiting times between courses. The food was excellent and a good choice of wine and a very friendly waiter. We would give your restaurant four stars. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
