Reviews in Grasmere

We always make a point of eating at Lewis's when we are in the area, and it never disappoints. Great food and drink, and excellent service, it's one of my favourite restaurants in the Lakes.

5 star

Early sitting for evening meal for 2 people. Very easy booking system, welcomed with a smile and seated immediately. Great selection of courses and all our choices were cooked perfectly. Reasonable price for wine and food. Service was excellent. We have eaten at Lewis’s on 5 occasions and will definitely be visiting again soon.

Lewis’s bistro offers a menu that is not overly congested with options but enough to get the taste buds tingling. The venue, the food and the service is overall, very good. Our table had the Beef Stroganoff and the Sea Bass. The dishes were well cooked, tasty with excellent presentation. My only slight concerns were upon leaving, when one of the local employees let her views be known about people from outside of Cumbria buying property in Grasmere. Whilst we acknowledged her frustrations, being labelled as “you’re one of them” felt a little unnecessary. Customer service is about your customers experience and your views should be private. A slightly sour note to what is a great place to dine.

Excellent Food and nice surrounding, The wine was an excellent choice.

The food was delicious, service was excellent and the place was very welcoming. We couldn’t fault it and hope to come again when we are in Grasmere.

We always try and visit Lewis's when staying in Grasmere and are never disappointed. It's a lovely little restaurant with great staff The menu is varied and food delicious. We weren't dissapointed again this time. It's a little gem in Grasmere!

Food was delicious, staff were very welcoming and accommodating. I booked for my wife’s birthday and she was presented with a complimentary glass of Prosecco on arrival. This was very kind and much appreciated. We also brought our dog and again, the staff were very kind, patient and attentive with her. We had a lovely evening, thank you. Will definitely return.

Delicious food and great service. We'll be sure to visit again the next time we're in Grasmere.

Visited recently the food was excellent my only criticism is that lighting is to bright loose half the light bulbs and the atmosphere would be alot better

Delicious food, 3 of us had the lamb shoulder special & one had the herb crusted cod, which were all very tasty. The staff were very pleasant & efficient. Enjoyed everything as always.

We were booked for the 8.30 sitting, and they warned us there could be a wait however there was hardly any wait at all! All of the staff were really nice, and the food was fantastic, really well presented, just the right portion size and perfect after a hard day out on the hills. Such a lovely place would def return.

Lovely visit to Lewis's Bistro on 26 February 2026. Have been several times and as ever the food was excellent with great service.

For a Wednesday in February the bistro was reasonably busy. There was only one person waiting on the tables so it was a little slow in ordering and receiving the food. One negative was we thought we would have bread to share before the main course but unfortunately even though it was reasonably early in the evening there was no bread left which I was surprised and slightly annoyed about. Having said that the main course was great and couldn’t fault it. We would certainly book again.

Made a late booking at Lewis’s and glad we did . The food was exceptional which you couldn’t fault at all . Staff were very friendly and the restaurant is well presented . Not had such a good meal for a long time . Great restaurant which we would highly recommend to anyone especially as it’s also dog friendly. On that point they do restrict the amount of dogs allowed and position them so that they don’t really come into contact to prevent any distractions to other guests .

Lovely food, great presentation and excellent service. Would absolutely recommend.

Lovely restaurant, warm atmosphere and quality food with friendly service. Definitely recommend
