Stella's Bistro in Allerdale

Delicious food and great service / atmosphere.

We have just had the most delightful evening in Stella's Bistro. What a find. Each course was better than the one preceding it and there was a good range of drinks to choose from. If you're really lucky, you'll have the company of the proprietor, Graeme. He was attentive without being intrusive, and gave generously of his knowledge and experience of the local area and beyond. The bistro is based within the Green View Guest House, a building of local historic interest and fabulous views, combined with a very affectionate reference to Stella, for whom it is named. The food (which is what we went for), was chosen from a select, seasonal menu, and cooked, by Arch, to perfection. Generous portions had us thinking we were unlikely to finish our meals.........but we did 😋. Oh to live near enough to go back. Menu; starters; duck pate with toast, and potato and mushroom pave. Mains, both had rump of lamb with colcanon and a jus to die for (jus, not gravy 😉). Deserts; both had home made banana and toffee ice cream with a peanut butter cookie. Thankfully, we didn't have too far to roll home. Not open on Mon/Tues.

Our 2nd visit to Stella's Bistro & what an amazing experience again Lovely pre drinks before dinner in the beautiful themed lounge & retro 1950' bar. The food was amazing and a superb wine choice to. Graeme our host absolutely made our evening with his excellent relaxed service and entertaining stories. We will definitely be returning when next in Silloth

My two friends and I had dinner at Stella's Bistro recently and it was first class. The food and ambience was excellent and Graeme, our host, went out of his way to look after us. We shall return! Genu prima! Jimmy Thomson.

Wow what a find. These place's are few and far between nowadays and was recommended to us by a local. Upon our arrival and meeting Graeme our host for the night, was like catching up with an old friend. Food was delicious and well priced too. Many thank's Graeme and Archie.

We got a lovely welcome when we arrived. The food was fantastic, and was delicious. The menu was great for people who are Gluten-free.It was decorated lovely, We will definitely be coming back for another meal. Xx

My husband and I had dinner here last night and it was wonderful! Graeme was so friendly and attentive. We loved hearing about his Mum, Stella. The food was first class! Beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We had a super night. Thank you.

Visited this evening with family,What a little gem, excellent food, service and surroundings, would definitely recommend.

A gem of a restaurant. The food was incredible, and the host was so lovely. I couldn't recommend Stella's Bistro more highly.

Absolutely perfectly cooked food very friendly host we were made to feel very welcome the sticky toffee pudding is to die for best place to eat in silloth

Always amazing food. Great service and a lovely welcome from the hosts!

Lovely place for a great meal. Hidden gem for sure A1++++

What's not to like about Stella's, the food was gorgeous the homemade bread out of this world, the host was welcoming and friendly. I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a meal as much.

We went to Silloth to meet up for a weekend with my son and his partner who comes from Silloth. We were also meeting his partner’s family and had dinner here on two evenings,one with her parents and the other with her grandparents. The restaurant is in a b and b and has a small cosy dining room. The owner is very friendly and helpful and we were made very welcome. On both evenings we had fabulous food, beautifully cooked and the portions were generous. It was also very reasonably priced. When we visit Silloth again we will definitely eat here again

"Amazing" describes this bistro perfectly. The food is all cooked by the hosts of Green View bed and breakfast, who also own Stella's Bistro. Nice selection of items available on the menu, which changes on a regular basis. The food was delicious and the presentation was perfect. Very intimate atmosphere created with retro decoration and personal service from your hosts. At time of our visit open to non residents Wednesday to Saturday evenings and booking essential. If your visiting Silloth, make sure you give this Bistro a try, highly recommended.

A little gem in Silloth. The food surpassed expectations. Looking forward to going again. Thank you for a perfect evening.

Lovely place! Your options in Silloth for food is basically fish and chips or pub grub. Stella's however is serving up huge plates of tasty French food at great prices! It's part of a guesthouse but open to all if they have space (definitely need to book ahead though as it's only small). Service is impeccable and the whole experience was excellent.

Three of us celebrated my birthday in fine style, with the wonderful welcome of Graeme and fellow diners in the lounge with renditions of happy birthday there and in the dining room ...a lovely friendly atmosphere creating a memorable evening for us all - fine dining at it's very best in this little gem of a guest house/bistro in Silloth. We will certainly be back!

Fitted in last minute and what a experience. Convivial host who has the front room of the guest house set up for diners to enjoy a aperitif. It is food cooked to order and timed to balance the needs of each set of diners. The chicken liver pate was a delight in fact so generous the additional bread homemade by the way was needed. The mains were salmon and chuck steak. The steak was beautifully served with handcut chips and carrots. The salmon perfect cooked with a crust. Hugely enjoyable and very generous. Desert had to be shared and a wonderful lemon tart and chantilly cream. A great find whilst here in Siloth

Loved this place. Well cooked high quality food. A real find in this area. Friendly and informative owner as well!

Everything made by the chef and really tasty. Although small it's really cosy, portions are a good size and very filling.

Amazing food! Great service! The host was great and made you feel like home. You won't find a place like it.

What a little gem this place is. Five friends went for dinner and could not fault anything at all. Graham our host was so welcoming and could not do enough for us. Food was first class and cooked to perfection. The authentic decor encouraged us to reminisce and made our visit even more pleasurable. Many many thanks we will return.

We ate here on our family holiday. Front of house was fabulous, we were all welcomed into the lounge for a drink prior to dinner. The food was delicious we had a mixture beef, pork and risotto all were brilliant. So too was the deserts. We will definitely be returning here when we are next in town as the staff could not do enough for you.

We revisited Stella’s Bistro after visiting in February. The food is excellent. From the home made bread and ice cream, to the well throughout dishes. It is very small only seating 10-12, which is fine by me, it does mean there is a small menu. But again, the food and the dishes are top class. We are from Manchester and would expect to pay 2 or 3 times the price for that level of quality. Really looking forward to visiting again.

We’d heard the rumours and were not disappointed. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. A small dining area and a small menu but very nice place to be, following recent renovations. The front of house was great throughout and very knowledgable about the history of the B&B but also Silloth and the surrounding area. We will definitely be going back.
