Lounge on the Green in Carlisle

Another outstanding dinner at The Lounge On The Green. Delicious food and service is second to none. Highly recommended

The best restaurant in Carlisle, without a doubt. The bento box is to die for!!

If I could give the food more stars I certainly would have done. Each course is an explosion of different taste. The whole visit was more than the usual dinner night out. Well worth a viait.

An excellent experience. We tried the tasting menu and it was delicious. Service was friendly and helpful. Food beautifully cooked, presented and delivered. Would love to return.

if you want the top taste experience in local food and wines then this is the place , its not for the cheapskates but value for money as you need to go far to get something similar . great night out dinning !!

Great food as always. Festive menu is excellent!

A party of four, the first visit for two of us. The food was delicious, with a varied range of starters and main course and the service was good. Our compliments to the chef. Thank you

Absolutely wonderful experience, we've been many times to try the different seasonal menus and every time has been just fantastic. Superb food, beautifully presented with simply wonderful staff, Jovita is just the best hostess and makes you feel so welcome. We can't wait to go back for the summer menu. Thank you team 😊

We booked with friends and were warmly welcomed by Jovita. As it was lunch we opted for the La'al menu which they say is 4 courses but that doesn't include the selection of appetisers before the first course and the madeleines after the dessert. Every course was made with top quality ingredients that taste great. I like the fact that a small pot of the sauce for each course is left on the table. Just remember to save some of their delicious brioche to soak it up. Looking forward to a return visit.

A lovely discovery for us during our visit to Cumbria. We hope to return for more culinary delights next year. Thank you for a fantastic experience.

Last minute Friday night booking made to this gem of a restaurant. Been meaning to go for years and was supremely impressed with the food throughout the whole evening. From the amuse bouche through homemade brioche bread, fabulous scallops, duck and perfectly cooked beef - to the chocolate dessert and divine sweet treats at the end, this meal was absolutely knock out. If you haven’t tried it, make a booking. Friendly staff, relaxed ambience and the perfect night out. Better than many Michelin starred restaurants and priced reasonably for beautiful tasting food.

The food is absolutely stunning. Its a fantastic resturant and definitely now one of our favourite. Staff are lovely and attentive and all round a fantastic place.

Have been twice now and both times have been wonderful. Food is lovely and very creative. I think the value for money is crazy - would be at least twice the price in London. Staff are lovely and very friendly too! Would highly recommend!

Amazing atmosphere and food. Such a special place.

Fine dining experience right on my doorstep wish I knew about this place sooner nothing else like it in or around Carlisle

Everything was excellent. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fabulous dining experience. Really attentive and friendly staff, amazing dishes and cosy surroundings - can’t recommend highly enough.

What a little treasure. From walking in being warmly welcomed to finishing delicious coffees it was perfect. I think I have fallen in love with artichokes what a dreamy way to start the meal. Another mind blowing dish was the trio of beetroot with goats cheese. Wow my tastebuds is still singing. The burnt meringue dessert was amazing my husband favoured the little mini banana. A very very good taster menu. Great ambience and lovely knowledgeable staff. Deserve their Michelin Guide place for sure. Menu very well priced. A evening to remember for sure.

We loved the place from the moment we set foot inside. The service was outstanding; attentive but not intrusive, professional yet friendly. The dishes were small bombs of flavour and surprises ( good ones). I can’t wait to return for their next menu.

Food was lovely. A really special dining experience. Food and service spot on. 8 courses beautifully presented and lots of non alcohol options to go with it. If you want somewhere different and special this is not to be missed

This place just gets better every time i come. Visited to celebrate a friends birthday on a Saturday evening. Usual warm welcome from the absolutely lovely head of front of house. We opted for the 8 course taster. Canapés were outstanding, the artichoke mousse and a crisp stuffed artichoke leaf was outstanding . Monkfish next with a beautiful sorrel sauce was perfectly cooked and superb. Then a beetroot dish with goats cheese. Never my go to dish but this was clever. Different textures that worked well together. Beef cheek with an intense jus followed. Melt in the mouth wonderful. Then rump of beef. Perfectly cooked and rested with a crisp potato on the side. 2 deserts both good. How this place has not yet got its first star is beyond me as it easily surpasses a good few 1 star restaurants in have visited.

Mixed bag. Excellent atmosphere and staff attentive and informative. Food superbly presented and some excellent courses, however not all courses were to my liking ( personal taste)For that reason wont go back until they change the menu Thought we had ordered the larger and the smaller menu however served 2 smaller menu's. After meal coffee and tea not the best. Tea weak and only luke warm.

Really tasty taster menu! Great staff, unpretentious surroundings, good food with some really imaginative course. We are not big drinkers so didn’t do the wine pairing. Hadn’t heard about this little gem but glad we finally have now!

First time in this fantastic restaurant but not the last, food was amazing as were the staff. Wine and cocktails were spot on.

Fabulous adventurous food. Worth venturing just outside Carlisle for a much better meal than at any restaurant centrally

Our first visit to LOTG Houghton. Lunch. The Lal Plus wine flight. Nice ambiance. Very competent and friendly service. A couple of brilliant courses - the beetroot and goats cheese is exceptional - accompanied by a quite brilliant honey and thyme brioche. The fabulous burn meringue sets the standard for a sweet. Monkfish in brown butter sauce was simply delicious. The three appetisers were a very good start - all variations on the theme of Jerusalem artichoke. Sadly the Cumbrian beef was uninspiring, slightly overcooked, a little too small, lacking any greens, and in an uninspiring brown jus. The big disappointment was a £40 wine flight comprising four glasses of moderate to uninspiring wines of miniscule proportion. Frankly that left a sour taste. Go for the food. Buy a bottle of wine you like or by the glass. Avoid the wine flight if you don't want to leave irritated. The food was actually pretty good.....

Wow, what an experience. I was given a voucher from my brother to use here . I will never forget it. Amazing staff who are happy to talk to you and provide you with the best customer service I have ever received. Food was out of this world. We have a festive themed dinner. Utterly superb. Will be back for sure! Thank you

What a treat one of the best Michelin Stat restaurants we have been too and we’ve been to a few up here in Cumbria. Every course was gorgeous, staff were vary attentive and helpful. We will definitely be back.

It’s got the lot 👍👍. Great food from the Festive Tasting menu . Excellent staff and service and great atmosphere .Fantastic evening

Fantastic quality food and we didn't have to wait long at all between meals. We never felt rushed, staff were polite, well spoken and down to earth. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxing. Perhaps the most relaxed restaurant environment I've ever been to as I don't like busy, loud environments, so this was just right for me as the size of this place is perfect. The customer service was the best we have ever had so we left a generous tip. Well worth it

This was my fourth visit and already looking forward to my fifth! I had the 4 course option which included 3 glasses of wine. It all worked well! Food was amazing! Main course served by James (the boss)! Love the way each course is described. I had the vegetarian menu so did not know what I was going to get. It would be good if this was put on the website but accept that this may not be the same every time.

Utterly wonderful experience. Every course better than the last, everything was spot on even down to the timings of the dishes arriving - not too long but not rushed through. Staff wonderfully helpful, explained everything, how it all worked and how the flavours went together. Couldn't fault anything. Admittedly it is expensive, arguably very expensive but you get what you pay for and the quality can't be faulted.

Such a great meal, lovely place great service. Food was sublime and wine flight worked beautifully. Great little.plave highly recommend

Sometimes people don’t get what a taster menu is all about! It’s not about coming out ‘full as a gun’ , it’s about enjoying the skills and the art of food. Absolutely, stunning food tonight, great service.

Myself and two friends were lucky enough to dine here recently. One of my friends, just the day before was put onto a certain medication which came with a no dairy red flag. We had already made our table reservation prior to this so didn't expect the chef to be able to accomodate this. We were wrong as each course arrived with an adapted version for her. This was above and beyond our expectation and was very much appreciated. Service was smooth and attentive. We weren't rushed or made to feel in the way. The descriptions of the courses really helped us to enjoy and taste all of the ingredients. My personal favourite course was the fish course which I've been thinking about since our visit. I would highly recommend a visit here for anyone looking to feel both spoiled and special in equal measure.

What a gem. The serving staff were wonderful. The food - all 7 courses- was out of this world. Could not fault it. We had some dietary requests and oh my goodness we were looke after. If you are in the area do not mis out on the opportunity to sample this place. Like a previous reviewer my only complaint is we live too far away to enjoy it regularly!

I've had the pleasure of dining at several Michelin Starred restaurants and for the life of me I don't understand why this doesn't have one (yet!). The staff were amazing and informative, the restaurant was very tastefully decorated and a very pleasant atmosphere and finally the food was superb. We had the full tasting menu and it was excellent value, delicious food. Some interesting options, some more out there courses, which is the entire reason you go to somewhere like this! I very rarely dish out a 5 star rating but when somewhere is faultless what other option do you have??

What a terrific lunch we had at Lounge on the Green. No compromises at all, every one of the four courses was excellent. The service was welcoming & professional and the meal was good value for money. Can’t wait to return.

Just wow. This little gem is worth a visit. To have this level of talent on the doorstep is just incredible. The service is 2nd to non with a really good FoH team. The taster menu was sublime & really forward thinking. This place should have a Michelin star!

The food was unbelievable good would recommend anyone who loves Asia food or what’s to try it out to go too oka

Having heard such wonderful things (and seen wonderful pictures) I must admit that I arrived slightly worried that it wouldn't be able to meet our expectations. Incredibly, the experience somehow surpassed them. Every course was simply stunning, and would have been the highlight of any other meal. I've been fortunate enough to eat in many acclaimed and accomplished restaurants, but none have produced a menu as thoroughly and consistently fantastic as this. The love, expertise and prowess of all involved is apparent in every component of every dish. And the service was attentive, friendly and rightly proud. To pinpoint any particular dish would be impossible, but I must point out that the turnip, ginger and pear concoction took ingredients I thought I could never enjoy and made them the star of the meal. Also the biscuit and blue cheese granita was perhaps the greatest thing I've ever tasted. Our pictures honestly do not do them justice. An absolute gem of a restaurant, whose acclaim and reputation however lofty and deserved still seems not enough.

Excellent food and service as normal!

Absolute gem, a different but fixed menu every couple of months, a real experience. Loved it.

Fantastic dining experience, feel like out of Carlisle! Excellent food, wonderful menu, amazing service, you will enjoy your meal! Definitely recommend!

Lounge on the Green is a real gem - the food is stunning, the service fantastic and cannot rate it highly enough. This is a must if you want to treat yourself or someone special. It is my go to restaurant for any special occasion. They're also fantastic at providing a vegetarian version of their tasting menu, which is just as good as the meat version!! And happy to accommodate non-red drinkers, when the wine pairing is selected, and provide them with a suitable white wine for the course.

Had the la’al dinner and each of the courses was outstanding. The service was exceptional and swift, with the waiting staff describing each of our courses in turn. Bonus was that the wine pairing on a Thursday is only £5 extra. We will be returning soon.

Fantastic food!!! I highly recomend this place,we will back definitly👍🏻

Had the most amazing taster menue. Lovely place to dine out, Lovely staff made u fell really welcome.

Excellent restaurant, food and service excellent.

Great food and service last night. Thank you Team ❤️

Hands down one of the best sushi restaurants I've ever been to. The quality is fantastic with staff and service to match.

Amazing flavours, attentive service. Will definitely be back!

Food was amazing and our serve alexsandra was great look forward to coming back.

Fantastic tasting menu, perfectly presented accompanied by wonderful service.

The food is amazing, and the service excellent.

Went with friends in November time for the set menu and wine pairing. The food and service were both excellent and easily on a par with Michelin starred restaurants I have dined at. I'm sure that will follow as this place deserves it.

I took my wife, daughter and mother in law for a special treat on Mothering Sunday. Well what a fantastic time we had! This is a small unassuming restaurant that would not be misplaced if it was in central London rather than asleep village just outside Carlisle. It's an absolute gem. The food is well executed with precision and dexterity. We had five courses of sublime taste sensations; the beetroot dish being my favourite. The intensity and subtlety of flavours sets it apart from the mainstream. This is next level stuff! The service was efficient, warm and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious. I cannot recommend this highly enough to customers or Michelin. This place is THAT good... wonderful!

Excellent service, lovely food and really friendly staff. Highly recommended for my wife’s birthday

Lovely food. Good service. Not cheap but a Great experience. Coped well with a variety of dietary needs

A fantastic Michelin listed Restaurant with amazing staff. The food was to die for and the staff really knowledgeable about the wine flights. Lovely touch was the chefs brought the food out,and you could see the pride in their faces. Definitely be bringing friends and fanily here in the future

Місце з чудовою кухнею. Пробули там 2 години, від початку до кінця це було суцільне задоволення. Прайс високий, але кухня теж "висока". Рекомендую!

I have not been to this place for a meal,but it looks nice n cosy inside and the front of house staff are very nice and welcoming 😃

Absolutely amazing food. Loved every course. Locally sourced, quality ingredients. So well thought out and such a lovely touch to have creations inspired by family. Made up with my birthday treat!

Amazing food, great intimate place, book it, you won't regret it.

Amazing food, great service and a lovely laid back atmosphere. A real treat, and a gem of a place.

Fantastic! The food was amazingly good, service excellent, lovely relaxed atmosphere. Absolutely brilliant night out for our anniversary ❤️

What a lovely experience. The food was delicious and of a high quality. Thank you.

We were back to 'Lounge on the Green' for their seven course dinner menu, this time with the additional wine flight. As previously the food was superb, served in a timely way so you never felt rushed or hanging around for the next course. Portions were sized just right so you were neither left hungry or over-stuffed. The wine flight was also well matched to the food as you would expect, and as my partner doesn't like red wine they replaced them with suitable whites without quibble. In particular the Hungarian Tokay Furmint and the Elysium Black Muscat were particularly memorable. Some may see the wine flight as an expensive option, however consider that the chef and sommelier are working together and combining their experience to ensure that you are getting something that compliments each course, and to make it an integral part of the experience. Each course comes with a different wine, so at the very worst you are getting the opportunity to sample a wide range of different wines and you may discover new favourites. If you enjoy the food, do try the wine flight.

Absolutely stunning food. Nothing like this in the area. Great skill and presentation. Might appear expensive but worth every penny if you appreciate fine dining. Lovely server too.

Excellent meal and very courteous staff...a fine dining experience...been today...3 December... beautiful meal..... it's very good........been again for lunch this time... Friday 18th February....tasting menu superb... excellent and friendly staff....all very professional....

Can't knock the food and the hostess was really pleasant... But the atmosphere was non-existent, there were literally two other couples in the whole night, we spent most of the meal being the only people in there which ruined the experience for me. Id like to go back but as I'd like to experience the place at full capacity, but the thought of it being empty again is putting me off.

Excellent food, we have been many times and every time the menu has been beautifully curated and delicious. I can highly recommend the service from Rachel - who is very good at what she does, always on the ball and single handedly ran an evening in the restaurant all by herself and provided each table with great service even though she was on her own.

Great food and lovely attentive service- will be back!

Lovely service, lovely food. Give them a try!

A great set menu (whether you go 5 or 8 courses) with some delicious combinations and great presentation on every dish Friendly and warm front of house team who strive to ensure everyone has a great experience

Great tasting menu on Wednesdays and Saturdays with friendly and attentive staff. The quality of food and service was outstanding, quite the experience and worth a try.

Excellent food and service.Not the usual sort of restaurant you normally go to.Every course is a culinary experience.

Beautiful meal with exceptional personal service will be back. Thank you

We have wanted to try here for a while. We love our tasting menus and when we found out because of Covid that is all they were serving qe booked. Lovely atmosphere restaurant was full with plenty of socially distant rules. Had an amazing meal with all courses excellent. Stand out was the shrimp, guinea fowl, and two of the best desserts we have ever eaten. Two good bottles of red and delicious cocktails. We will definitely be back. Keep up the good work guys.

Everything about this restaurant is amazing, the food is incredible and the service is amazing. Me and my partner visited while the lockdown restrictions were been lifted and in a small restaurant the social distancing was brilliant and we felt very safe.

Great food great service very professional staff.

Not quite worthy of Michelin star yet - but then it was a good deal cheaper than Michelin tasting menus too!! We enjoyed every course that we had and the main was a particular standout. Portions good sized, using local ingredients and nice variety. Lovely intimate venue and friendly service (they were short staffed but whilst it was noticeable they worked hard to make the evening a full success regardless). We had cocktails to start, then a nice Romanian Pinot Noir and a dessert wine to finish.... No wine flight available sadly - they should consider one as it would have gone nicely with the superb food. Very reasonable price for what we got. Would definitely return if we were back in the area!!

Amazing food! I was surprised to find only the Tasting Menu to choose from when I reserved lunch for two, but so enjoyed it. Admittedly, my friend found that there was too much food for her tiny appetite, but ate a little of every course! We were very well looked after by Rachel (Front of House) and our Chefs Harry and Zac, but we were the only diners - wow, why?!For any foodies out there, get yourselves booked in. The sourdough with beef butter was to die for and I almost asked for seconds but knew I'd not survive to eat all the courses to come. A special mention goes to the Celeriac crumb on top of our second course (I could have eaten a bowl full of that alone...) and the Duck main course (soooo tender and tasty) and the blood orange marshmallow which was part of the dessert - it would have sufficed but I did manage the lot! I can highly recommend!

North Cumbria has been desperate for a place like this. There are many who have tried but all have failed until now. At last a restaurant to brag about. The food is local, inventive and delicious. A touch more seasoning here and there is the only rather desperate criticism I can muster. Dry aged duck breast with foie gras, artichoke purée and little smoked turnip - I’m still smiling about it. Front of house was down to just one person but you would not have guessed. There was an underlying feeling that the staff enjoyed what they were doing and were proud of what they were presenting. It’s just a really nice experience.

Very tasty, well presented food served and described by knowledgable front of house staff or the chefs themselves. I’m sure it won’t be long before they are awarded AA rosettes!

Culinary experiences in Carlisle can often be much of a muchness. But not this one. Superb food that is delicious without being pretentious. Exceptional service, with Rachel the perfect example of what front of house should be. Could not recommend highly enough if you're local to the area, and you should make the visit if you're not. Lounge On The Green is a real gem.

We went for a birthday meal with my friend and his wife for both our birthdays. By far the best fine dining restaurant this side of Cumbria. Every course was spectacular, and the service immense. Special shout to Harry the trainee chef that serves is for the evening. Very confident and really knew his stuff explaining all the dishes to us. We have been to a few Michelin star restaurants and this is up there with the very best food we have eaten. Surely a star is coming soon!

We visited last night for the first time in ages. The restaurant has had a make over and looks really good.We enjoyed the new tasting menu tremendously, all courses beautifully presented, lovely flavours and overall a very satisfying meal.The service was also really good, the staff were knowledgeable and attentive. A very enjoyable evening

We have had a wonderful meal tonight at Lounge on the Green, probably the best food in the Carlisle area and proper fine dining, which you can’t really find anywhere else in Carlisle. Thank you Lounge on the Green. Great food, atmosphere and staff were excellent. We were in a party of six and were looked after very well.

Lounge on the green is set in a quiet village just outside of Carlisle. A picturesque setting. This location is ideal for any special occasion. Upon entering you have a sanitisation station which is perfectly discreet. When inside, the tables have been set perfectly for social distancing and no compromise has been taken away from keeping the ambience of the room. We were greeted by Rachel and were shown to our table. We ordered from the set taster menu number 2. I am personally not an adventurous eater and was open minded at the menu set. Every course that was given was thourally described along with how to enjoy eating the course to its fullest. I absolutely loved every course! We were well looked after and the attention to detail was second to none. This restaurant is setting the standards for Carlisle in fine dining in our opinions! We will definitely be back.

What an amazing experience. The food was an absolute delight. Service was also superb, will definitely be back.

We took upon a visit based on some suggestions we'd had from friends about a new tasting menu - we were so pleased we did. We entered the restaurant and first noticed that there had been a full refurb and the layout had now changed - we have visited several times before. This created a very welcoming, spacious environment and looking around this was a busy night - the place was full but this did not detract from the mellow, chittering from tables.Our waitress was attentive, happy and very friendly. I was pleased to see them using face coverings as many other restaurants I've been in haven't. We opted for the eight course tasting menu over the five courses as there were so many dishes jumping out at me to try. Our first taste was some nibbles at the table - the full description lost to memory - a chicken liver parfait macaron and a manchego cheese puff. Beautifully presented and set my taste buds into freefall - all i wanted was more. We were treated to some sour dough and beef butter. There was a quick request put in for a second round of it.So only now the actual eight courses start - I feel spoilt already. The mackeral was a light, fresh and very delicate dish to start with, which then synced nicely with the pan-fried scallop dish. All the variety of textures took this dish to another level. I was very impressed with how the squid ink was used.Bringing some of the theatre to the meal was the next dish - the guinnea fowl, egg and black truffle. The sauce arrived in a guinnea fowl egg to be poured on ,which then split to reveal its contents. Great fun! All three dishes up to now felt very well balanced and measured in taste. Nothing was impacting the flavours of each dish which can happen in tasting menus - I've had a few.Next to arrive was again a fun dish - fish, chips and curry sauce! What! This would surely not be found in a restaurant? But it does and and wow my tongue was left tantalized wanting more. This dish for me made me sit up and really take notice of what was going on as the next plate - barbecue lakeland beef was on it's way. This dish for me was the stand out piece of the whole menu. It felt like a crescendo of flavours bring the whole meal to a build up.The final three desert dishes slowed the meal right down again and finished it off very nicely. I was suitably impressed by the introduction of 'beer bread' as an ingredient. The panna cotta was outstanding. A very welcome dish after the rich beef.This meal went above and beyond our expectations for this restaurant. They deserve to have their praises sung as their is clear careful planning behind not just every dish but the whole sequence of tastes for the customer. I've eaten a few tasting menus in my time - Castle Terrace, Djem, Maze, Savoy to name but a few. This is definitely putting itself into a category close by with maybe a leg in. You wouldn't expect this level of food from this non-pompous restaurant and at the price we paid I most certainly will be watching out for the next menu. Well done to all involved we had such a super evening.

Visited for our first post lockdown meal for a treat! Food was unreal! We both chose menu two and were absalutely stuffed by the time we left. Staff are amazing made to feel very welcome and comfortable by Harry and Rachel! Each dish was well explained and beautifully presented. Coulnt fault it and will definitely return soon!

Came here and had the tasting menu two, absolutely gorgeous food and drink! Atmosphere was lovely and the staff were very friendly. Felt very at ease with the procedures they had in place due to COVID-19 Will definitely be back soon!

First the positives; nice ambience, friendly and welcoming staff, easy to find if your not a local. COVID-19 security pretty good (one of our first outings since lockdown).The food however, was not as special as we might have expected. We’re not fine dining experts by any means but have experienced a number of restaurants offering high end tasting menus before and have always come away impressed. This time, however, none of it excelled, none of our party of five, on tasting any of the courses said “ooh isn’t that lovely”, nothing quite hit the spot. We chose the smaller tasting menu - £38 per head for seven courses - and a couple of bottles of Romanian Pinot Grigio. The beef course was perhaps the nicest but the Fish and Chips was, I felt, just bizarre and the others were, well, lacklustre. The wine was the most successful element of the meal which is disappointing when the food is supposed to be the star of the show.I don’t like giving negative reviews and do so on this occasion in the hope that the Chef has a rethink and ups his game a little. Good presentation alone isn’t sufficient- the food needs to hit the palate and impress. Sadly, it didn’t on Friday night.

Delicious food, exceptional service & a lovely atmosphere, can't wait to go back (10/10) ⭐

Stunning food and fantastic service. Great to see a restaurant like this in Carlisle. The Michelin Inspectors need to pay a visit - definately on track for a star.

Beautiful, delicious food, amazing service and great ambiance in the restaurant. We had a fabulous meal and a fantastic night with some good friends. We will definitely return

Thanks , once again to James and his team ( waiting on staff were fabulous ) Another Delicious meal , this time for Marks Blood Buddies Cancer support group . Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it , Thanks to you all , Merry Christmas
