Fellinis Restaurant in South Lakeland

Probably the best dining experience in Ambleside. Ambience is spot on with seating, decor and music. Food is really delicious. We had the spinach, broccoli chick pea fritters which were quite a treat. I hope to dine here again.

Popped in for dinner, ended up having 3 courses because we never wanted the meal to end. Full of flavour, good portion sizes.

Best meal out I've had in a long time.

Tasty, vegetarian food that is well presented and a pleasure to eat!

Wonderful. Cinema, meal deal.

The food is delicious, I would recommend it, whether or not you are a vegetarian.

A quite fantastic meal and experience all in all. A self professed carnivore here but always up for good food cooked well. This definitely ticks all of those boxes and then some. The mushroom bourgignon really was fantastic. Elevated veggie cuisine. Would make this a must try if in the area, whether veggie or not.

The most wonderful vegan food. Absolutely delicious. We highly recommend everything we chose as a family of five: the cauliflower steak, nut roast, onion tarte tartin, and desserts of roasted peaches, chocolate bomb, and crumble. The service was excellent. Very attentive, welcoming and polite. The atmosphere was lovely and we were sat in the cutest booth. We can’t wait to go back.

Strange place but we loved it. It is set with classical music as if it was a very romantic place while most of the customers are hikers in muddy shoes. But the food is delicious and the wine is good.

Our family was welcomed warmly by the friendly staff. Food was very tasty with great combinations of flavors. Starters were the best including butternut squash soup, sweat potato chips, soft onion bread, feta cheese with filo. We were full at this stage. Mains included special pasta with butternut, coliflower steak, Yorkshire pudding with truffles. Finally desserts with chocolate bomb, apple ginger cake and tiramisu. Finally the food came out quickly!

This was the best meal I have had, it was a place that we saw as being highly recommend everywhere and the reviews are all right. The waiting staff are very polite and good at what they do and the food is prepared quickly and are all very nice. I would highly recommend eating here whether you're vegetarian or not. We had the boccoli spinach and Chickpea frita as the mains and it was so delicious I have been trying to find where I can find something similar locally to me. The chocolate bomb is to die for also, it is the perfect dessert in my opinion.

The food was so good, we ate way too much. I had the puy lentil nut roast and it was delicious! Good portions too! Would definitely recommend.

The food was delicious but the same price for mains and starters as non veg options elsewhere. A little over priced

Delicious food and excellent service

Probably the best veggie restaurant we've been to, so many great options to choose from. Food was incredible, staff were lovely. Good value for being in the heart of the Lake District as well, some average pubs had more expensive menus than here.

Delicious vegan lentil and nut roast with all the trimmings. Really good Sicilian wine, even the salad we ordered on the side was fresh with great dressing and ingredients. We wanted to try one of the many vegan desserts but were pretty full from the very generous portions. We'll be back next time we visit! The atmosphere was warm and the staff were really friendly and welcoming.

We designed a trip to the Lakes around a pilgrimage to Fellinis. Never disappoints. The vegan chocolate bomb dessert is now etched I to my memory!

My new favourite restaurant! Everything was perfect - the food, atmosphere, service. We had a fantastic evening and can't wait to visit again!

Absolutely amazing food with so much flavour - whether you are vegan, vegetarian or just flexible, you're in for a treat. We all had the Yorkshire pudding filled with mushroom bourgignon and loved it. Also the deserts went above and beyond what we expected and I loved the chocolate bomb. Excellent attentive service from Andrea, Violetta and Karen.

Lovely vegetarian restaurant with good vegan and gluten free options. Lovely place, very attentive staff.

We had the most delicious meal here for dinner. The food was excellent and the staff so attentive and friendly. The Raspberry Bomb and Baked Peaches deserts are just to die for. Don't miss this if you're close to Ambleside.

The food was great. We wanted to try something new and they did not disappointed us.

Can't recommend this enough, everything we had was absolutely incredible. Great options for gluten free and vegan too!

Very tasty, excellent service, it's not cheap, but it's worth it.

My dining companion was vegan and local, so she chose this, having eaten here several times before. I would usually totally avoid a vegetarian restaurant as I’ve never really enjoyed anything I’ve had… but that was before this!! OMG!! The main course - stuffed mushrooms - was delicious! I had the pickled beetroot salad for started. Loved. Then the main…. First off, the beef mushrooms were enormous! We both had the same main (she had the vegan option though) and really took our time savouring every bite… it was a bit of a battle to finish it all. I can’t honestly tell you what was on the plate because I had glossed over the menu just choosing what I thought would be ‘least offensive’ (remember, I don’t usually like vegetarian restaurants!). It was so delicious that we couldn’t bear to leave any! If I could give a meal a standing ovation… this would be it!! I know I usually only write reviews when I’ve had a stand-out meal (I hardly bother to write about the average/bad ones unless they truly offend me!), so I’m usually singing their praises… but the fact that this was a wholly vegetarian restaurant which I was dreading, is what made this meal all the more special! DELICIOUS! From now on, whenever I come to the Lake District, this restaurant will already have been booked for a revisit! The service was warm and lovely. The decor is lovely… simple, warm and gives an air of hushed decadence. Hard to pull off but they did it. We were the last diners… as we had lingered over every delicious course. I had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert - nice! My friend had the gooseberry & ginger crumble - it was tart & delish! We paid £41 each (no alcohol) … very simple pricing of their menu and to me, very reasonable for what they are presenting! Bravo!!

Absolutely fantastic vegetarian restaurant. The food was top quality, the service fantastic and the prices not ridiculous. Spent a lovely evening here and would definitely come back if we were in the area.

Delicious and beautifully presented food. Sufficiently cooked and nicely seasoned, not bland. Portions more than sufficient. Varied flavors and mouthfeel. Highly recommended. Fast service, but you can linger. Music was retro, jazzy? Decor a bit dark.

Some friends treated us to a meal at Fellinis following our recent marriage. We were warmly greeted and quickly shown to our table, which was in one of the circular booths. The chilled bottle of nice sparkling wine waiting for us was a very pleasant surprise. Only one member of the party is a vegan, but the menu was very good and there was good choice of different vegetarian food. I opted for the lentil and cashew nut roast, which was far better than expected and I definitely didn't miss having meat with it . The food was great and was very well presented. To sum up, great atmosphere, good service and fantastic food. Even if you are not a vegetarian, please give it a go.

Absolutely cannot rate this place enough. My friends had just got married and I arranged a cake and fizz, the staff made it so special, the food was amazing and catered well for a vegan gluten-free diet. Well worth a visit even if you’re not vegetarian.

Was blown away by the good food.

Beautiful restaurant with amazing food. Brilliant atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Lovely afternoon watching Kidnapped as Fellini's. Warm, very clean and comfortable cinema with helpful friendly staff. Ice cream is very good too Would deffo recommend 😀 x

Lovely restaurant, food was very nice and beautifully presented. Staff were very attentive. Would def visit again.

Superb meal for our anniversary, thank you

Fabulous meal, great ambiance and staff. We are not vegetarian but the menu looked interesting and we paired it with a cinema trip. Whole evening exceeded our expectations. Quality of environment and service was superb. Food was so full of flavour and well presented, home made bread was lovely too. Absolutely recommend this place if you want a refined evening at a sensible price.

Food was full of flavour and the atmosphere was super relaxing. The serving staff were professional and very friendly - excellent location for any vegetarians (and non-vegetarians!) visiting Ambleside.

A very classy " kind of joint", if you will. High standards of vegetarian & vegan food served. The pumpkin lasagne is tres manifique.. Lovely atmosphere... With a lovely little cinema attached..

Fantastic first visit to Fellinis. The food was fantastic (it’s often hard to find something different when eating out as a vegetarian) & the service was great too.

Really glad we decided to come here despite not having much time before our bus was scheduled to leave. I had the nut roast and it was really as good as others say. The sauces, potatoes and veggies on the side were really good as well and I was happy with the portion size. I also had the pineapple with sorbet for dessert which I was a bit apprehensive about but it was fantastic. The rum syrup was delicious. My partner had the cauliflower as the main which he would've preferred to be saltier. The waiter was exceptional. He was really friendly, efficient and attentive and made sure that we were in and out in time to catch the bus. It was impressive how good he was as it got quite busy towards 6pm. I really liked the decor as well. It's great that much of the menu is vegan.

Banging coffee to be fair. Food is a little too fancy for me ... Carries a fancy tag on it too... But that's what the place is about... And I thought it did it quite well with all round good effort and high standards for the price tag

Excellent vegetarian food with great options, beautiful presentation, lovely and clean place. very nice staff

Beautiful setting, perfect service, great wine, exceptional food! We shared a bread basket and olives to start, lovely and soft. For the mains, we had the aubergine rolls and the almond baklava. Absolutely packed with flavour. Great textures, really thoughtfully put together. It's great to see vegetarian food executed to such a high standard. Our only regret, is not leaving enough room for dessert! We finished with a dessert wine, which finished the meal perfectly. Would absolutely recommend and can't wait to return.

Fabulous food with a huge variety of interesting flavours. Very friendly attentive service.

Really nice restaurant with really fresh food and chilled atmosphere.

The best vegetarian meal I've ever had.

Delicious vegetarian imaginative food. Meal desl with cinema ticket very good value

I love the beautiful food and serene ambience at Fellini's. Would be my first choice for dining in Ambleside. Dinner and film combo make for a great evening out

brilliant elevated vegetarian food! got the deal of film + two fellinis courses for £31.50 per person, which was fantastic value given how great the food was. would definitely recommend calling ahead to book the movie deal (can't do it online).

One of our favourite vegetarian restaurants. Great service, lovely layout and soothing ambience. Perhaps because we've now been to veggie places all over Europe and push our own cooking, I felt the food although delicious and well presented, was missing that extra magic touch you look for when you dine out, giving us ideas in our own cooking. Still our default in the Lakes though.

Delicious food, well presented and the service was attentive and thoughtful, taking into consideration our preferences

Excellent food, TERRIBLE reception. We went to Fellinis on New Year's Eve an had the 7 course menu special (the only option available that night). The food was absolutely delicious from the amuse-bouche to the desert. Sadly, the reception at the restaurant almost made us turn around and run away. We had an online booking for 6 pm. As we stepped in, the staff informed us to "please leave at 8.15pm". This was a very unpleasant way to welcome us, to say the least, especially because it came as a complete surprise. Except for the menu price of 85 pounds, there was no warning whatsoever of a limited eating time when we booked our table online. Oh, and about the price: as we sat down, we had again the unpleasant surprise to read at the bottom of the menu that there would a 20% surcharge imposed on the final price. Do you think they had that on the menu available online before the booking? Of course not! Luckily, this frightening read was hidden from our eyes by the entrée dish served approximately 2 seconds after we sat down. Another great way to make us feel like cash cows requested to leave as quickly as possible and make way for the next victims. What the heck Fellini, do you really think this is how you should treat your clien- I mean your guests?! Anyway, after voicing my point to the staff, some wine and delicious food, we left quite happy and ready to roll into 2024. But I don't think we'll come back. Or maybe just for the sticky toffee pudding.

Fabulous food, good service and a lovely atmosphere. So good we dined here 2 nights . Food is amazing, even non vegetarians should definitely try this restaurant out.

I eat a lot of pizza and these are possibly the best. The treacle tart pudding had a surprisingly wide range of flavour. I think I could eat one every day. Service was good too.

This restaurant ticked all the boxes for the various dietary requirements of our party a definite recommend

The restaurant is lovely! The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is delicious!!! I highly recommend the goats' cheese cheesecake and the chocolate lava cake. We went to a movie afterwards and it was a fantastic deal, worth a trip if you're in the Lakes.

Have dined at Fellini's for many years and it's always a pleasure, though I'm not vegetarian. Good quality, tasty vegetarian food in an attractive room with friendly service. Look forward to our next visit

Lovely staff but the food is really underwhelming for the price. Very basic flavours and textures, which don't match expectations for what you pay. I'd love to give more because they were so lovely.

Very much enjoyed our meal here! The mezze starter was huge and we were pretty full after that but we persevered and thoroughly enjoyed our pizzas. Be aware that they are a flat base but the toppings were delicious - especially the Mexican one I had. Mine beat me, but they willingly gave me my leftover slices in a box which were the perfect mid-walking lunch the next day. We didn't sample any wine but each had a negroni to accompany our meal which were spot on. Good service and a nice atmosphere too.

Exquisite food, beautifully presented, excellent service. Elegant dining experience. Very highly recommended!

Lovely Staff, amazing food cannot recommend enough.

Food was great, tasted good and presented well. Staff were friendly but took a bit of time to take initial orders of food and drinks.I had mentioned ahead of time it was my partners birthday but they didn't mention it at all or do anything.

Incredible food. I have not been so impressed when eating out in a long time! Get the Cauliflower steak 👌

Beware of the price quoted for the movie deal. They add on 10% service optional but this not mentioned in the advert in the cinema programme Food is good.

We saw this place while walking through Ambleside and decided to eat here to end our holiday. The food was incredible and it was great knowing the entire menu is Vegetarian. There aren't many vegetarian only places, so to find one in the middle of Ambleside was a delight. The food, the presentation and the atmosphere were all perfect and we couldn't have asked for better service. Definitely a 10/10 restaurant for us and worth visiting whether you're vegetarian or not

Excellent vegetarian restaurant with very good and friendly service. (I'm omnivorous and not overly keen on vegetarian food). I really enjoyed this meal altho the strawberry ice cream with the roasted plums didn't really gel. Decaff coffee too milky for my taste do ask for an extra shot. Well worth revisiting!

Excellent Vegetarian and Vegan friendly restaurant. Most dishes are Vegan or have a Vegan option so they’re great choice. The service is as top and an all round great experience.

10/10 - incredible food, calm, classy atmosphere, nice music and the staff were very kind and attentive. Very reasonably priced too. Had to leave a review because I was very impressed. Grazie mille!

Great ambience and service. We ordered nut roast and cauliflower and some bread. The house red wine is good too. This is one of our favourite vegetarian restaurants in UK.

This has been a taste extravangza. We are not vegetarian however the food, wine and service were exceptional. If in Ambleside a visit to this restaurant is a must.

Excellent service, food and drink. Would highly recommend.

Great vegan/vegetarian restaurant right in town. nut loaf was great as was the moussaka. Nicely priced wines. service excellent.

As a vegetarian this restaurant was a dream come true! One of the best nut roasts I’ve ever had in a wonderful atmosphere. We will be back!

I wouldn't normally opt for vegetarian only restaurant. However the food was amazing the flavours dance on your tongue. I would recommend that any meat eaters give it a try. Best meal I've had in years. Well worth the money. I will definitely go again if ever in Ambleside again. I'd recommend the soufflés.

Great vegetarian restaurant in Ambleside. Great service through-out. Very varied menu. Food was fresh and tastey. We had the movie and meal option. Pricey but worth a visit.

We were visiting the Lake District for the first time and are very glad to have chosen to restaurant to have dinner.

Visited to see a film; the venue allowed several groups of very late arrivals into the screening, disrupting the first 20-30 minutes repeatedly. Groups of people walking in with phone torches on, staff talking loudly to people about which seat they’d been assigned. We were honestly considering leaving and asking for a refund as we missed most of the set up of the film. Late arrivals should have been turned away, it wasn’t fair on people who’d arrived early as instructed. Were also told seating was free selection on early arrival but these were actually set seats. Serves drinks including trays of tea but none of the seats have drink holders, trays, etc. Overall wouldn’t go back to see another film here. Can’t comment on the restaurant aspect as we didn’t bother.

Friendly staff, refreshing choice of fine dining food in a lovely atmosphere at a reasonable price.

Stunningly made food with a true focus on plants. The venue is tastefully laid out and service is attentive and courteous. The Nut Roast in a Red Wine Au Jus was a real stand out dish and perfect after a rainy day on Windermere. We come here every time we are in the Lake District and will continue to do so.

Delicious dinner! My committeed carnivore husband said 'I am converted!!' on tasting the starters, which is high praise indeed. Really thoughtful menu and wine list. Big recommend. Please open in London too?!

We had the cinema meal deal... The food is unbelievable!! Would definitely recommend, we were a party of 4, everyone loved the food!! For the quality of food, the price is extremely reasonable....Will definitely visit again!!

I really like Fellini's for the vegan/vegetarian food, the thoughtful & attentive staff, & most of the time for the background jazz. The food is generally pretty special & only occasionally does it seem everyday. Combined with the cinema upstairs Fellini's makes for a great evening out.

Visited here in early 2023, stylish place with tasty vegetarian food. Will go back.

Excellent vegetarian restaurant - went for my girlfriends birthday and we really enjoyed the food here. Only gripe is that the atmosphere is lacking when we visited. Had a lovely time regardless - thank you.

Lovely food and with 2 vegetarians in our group it was the ideal choice. Lots to choose from.

They don't need my recommendations , food was excellent!!! I would say for me it’s the best restaurant in the Lake District ! I like their experiment with the food and really appreciated it!

Amazing. Everything there is amazing. Some dishes are peace of art. Nice selection of wines. It is possible to adjust food with preferences such as vegan, gluten free.

Really friendly staff who took time explain things on menu we didn't know. Food was absolutely amazing and very filling.Would definitely return

6 of us ate here a couple of weeks ago during our stay in the Lakes. None of us are vegetarian but like to eat healthily and love our food and like to try lots of things. Such a fab find and a great evening out. All of the food was absolutely delicious, really well cooked and presented with no complaints what so ever. The staff were brilliant, very professional service whilst being really friendly and helpful. Good drinks choices too. The restaurant is really nicely done out, very subtle and clean with a lovely ambience. They went above and beyond at the end of the evening when we couldn't get a taxi back to our hotel (6 girls - it was my wife that was there and this is her review) and they arranged for one of the staff to do two trips to take us back to Grasmere, obviously we gave them some money to do this but they offered - we didn't ask!! So very kind, thank you. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and you definitely don't need to be a vegetarian to enjoy it

Food was delicious. Service was excellent. We did the film and meal deal. Excellent value.

Really delicious! All food was interesting and delicious! I particularly liked the feta baklava and baba ganoush. The tiramisu was also fab!

Delicious meal to celebrate a birthday. Beautiful presentation and couldn't fault anything

Absolutely superb food. Delicious dishes, clean and classy restaurant. Wish I could come back.

Dined here prior to viewing a production of the Marriage of Figaro live from the Royal opera house. Excellent vegetarian food accompanied by good wines (again). The place to for that special meal in Ambleside.

Great menu with lots of options and food was lovely. Wine very good as well! Service was attentive and friendly. We will be back and others should go as well. Variety, as they say, is the spice of life!

Amazing vegan choice and fabulous service. We come here every time we stay in the Lakes and love it each time.

The food was delicious, presentation and ambiance were excellent. The service was very thoughtful and anticipated all of our needs, which was especially valuable considering we brought a toddler with our group. Can’t wait to return!

Great service but before all really good food with many choices. Well done!!

Really excellent vegetarian restaurant, I've been twice and plan to return every time I come to the lakes. Creative, modern food, brilliant presentation, lovely staff. Portion sizes are decent, not so big you leave a lot or get overly stuffed, not so small you leave hungry.

Fantastic food is an understatement. For a starter I ordered the side dish of sweet potato and garlic mayonnaise which is more than enough for a starter and delicious. For a main I ordered the cauliflower katsu curry which was incredibly delicious. I'm not a fan of quinoa and when I asked for rice the staff went to their sister restaurant Zeffirellis to get some rice just for that dish, the service is next to none. The atmosphere was wonderful with temperate lighting and quiet jazz. We are regulars of Zeffirellis and will definitely be coming here again as well.

Excellent vegan and vegetarian food.
