Reviews in Grasmere

Lovely restaurant with nice but relaxed atmosphere. Excellent food. The scallops, lamb and cheeseboard were particularly good and the service just right. Would definitely return.

My wife and myself had another enjoyable evening at Lewis's Bistro during our recent stay in Grasmere, having visited the restaurant earlier in the year. Delicious fresh, home cooked food in a pleasant and relaxed environment with a friendly and welcoming host and staff . We hope to return to the Lake District early next year and look forward to paying another visit. Advise booking early if dining on Friday or Saturday.

Wow, wow, wow….. yet another amazing meal and evening at Lewis’s Bistro. I cannot praise this gorgeous restaurant enough. Their menu and food is absolutely stunning. Their staff are fabulous and go out of their way to ensure all your needs are catered for. An absolute must if you fined yourself staying in Grasmere. You cannot leave without trying for yourself.

Great food and service. Lovely restaurant in the heart of Grasmere. Would highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant with good atmosphere and food with attentive staff who are very visible and on hand . Starters of tempura veg and scallops very good . Husband had lamb which was excellent . I had sea bass which I felt was overcooked for my liking. For me it all very rushed and maybe something to do with two sittings each evening. We had only just started to enjoy our drinks when the starters arrived . These plates were cleared as soon as finished and mains served — me personally I like a gap between courses to digest my food. Immediatley offered dessert when this was finished . Managed to get a breather at this point as indicated needed a rest. Apart from this it was a pleasant experience and if returning would indicate my preference for a more relaxed service

This is a brilliant place and definitely worth checking out. The food was a 10/10 and they had great veggie options.

Grasmere's hidden gem , wonderful food , good value , nice wines .. don't tell everyone or we won't be able to book next time .. but it's a rare treat ..you won't be disappointed...

Having spent time deciding where to eat we chose Goody Blake's It was quiet as there was a storm outside. The food was excellent, cooked properly and with care. We enjoyed it that much we booked for a second evening. I would definitely recommend.

Good food but poor service despite promises. Delicious scallops and belly pork but I don’t want my scallop starter while I’m still drinking my aperitif and I don’t want my main course popped down as the just finished starter plate is lifted. We had that experience first visit and were assured it wouldn’t happen again but it did. Shame, it could be a really nice restaurant if they can lose the feel of trying to rush things.

Had a couple of disappointing meals elsewhere in Grasmere so tried here on the last night. Had a wonderful meal. Belly pork and chicken were delicious. Sweets and starters lovely. Definitely come again.

Yet another satisfying two visits to this bistro this week. Food and service excellent as always.

If I could leave 10 stars I would

Food was excellent, staff very friendly and really helpful. Would highly recommend this restaurant

While my husband enjoyed his fillet steak I had a few issues with my meal. The lamb rump was good but the sauce was far to strong and very salty . To be fair the waiter did offer to have another meal prepared by which time my husband would have finished his meal. The seasonal veg were rather boring, undercooked carrots and over cooked cauliflower and broccoli. The veg and fondant potato did not taste freshly cooked. Staff and ambience good.

Having enjoyed dinner here one evening whilst staying in Grasmere, we booked for the following night. The food is excellent, as is the warm atmosphere and efficient service. Perfectly cooked rice too!! We would thoroughly recommend eating at Lewis' Bistro.
