The best restaurants in Lancaster North West

We are often looking for somewhere to stop while travelling north to Scotland, somewhere welcoming and not too far from the M6. Cafe Edelweiss absolutely fits the bill. Leaving very early for a long journey, we appreciated that this cafe was open at 8.30am. Some of the locals also clearly appreciate this, as it was very soon full with regulars. It’s a pleasant environment - calm, relaxed and quiet even when there were quite a few tables full. And even on a grey day, there was lots of natural light coming in through the large windows, The service is great, and the meals come out in good time, with fresh ingredients. Some nice touches, like marmalade to go with your toast even though you have ordered a cooked breakfast. The coffee was a decent strength too. Clean toilet, and car parking close by (entered via the supermarket car park). Just what we were looking for.

I've been here lots of times over the months as it's a little gem in the village. Excellent home made food and cakes which are a must have. Very friendly staff which make you feel welcome

I go there twice a day get a sausage roll betta than greggs ! Breakfasts very expensive ! I went for a pie on my way home the said pie was on show on the shelf for sale as normal I was told I I I couldn’t have as someone in the cafe was getting it ! Service awful today ! My last visit ! Plus the steak pies have no steak it’s a pastry DISH of gravy ! Gone down hill a bit !

4 adults and 3 children visited for breakfast. There was no breakfast menu for the children. We were cramped on a table in the corner. It s a good job the children were well behaved as there was no room for them to move around! Two of us ordered Poached eggs and although the eggs were perfectly cooked the toast came unbuttered and was really hard to eat, as was all the toast. We all thought that the food was over priced for what it was. Our group meet every week for breakfast at different places but we found that it cost far more than any of the other places we have visited for a breakfast which was very similar to what we had.Therefore we will not return and not recommend The Bow Window to anyone.

The weather had turned very wet and I had my little grandson in his pram Went in to order but was stifling to find vegetarian as I was dripping water in my eyes Girl tried to be helpful but it came across as a bit condescending. When I'd ordered she said sorry cash only. Who does that these days!! So I had to go back into the outing rain. If it was my pace I'd have offered a cup of tea or a towel The young woman who used to be there was lovely It seems to have gone down service wise My friend who can't see well said they were very rude to her too sadly Shane as it's a nice menu and cafe

Jo and Andy are a fabulous landlady and landlord. The food and service is great and nothing is too much trouble for them! Brilliant pub!

The food was delicious 😋, and the staff were so friendly…I really felt welcomed😁..the atmosphere was amazing and the decor was so modern…I’m a big fan and they have gotten so used to me being there that I feel part of the sun pizza family 😊

What a gem of a place. A proper home cooked Sunday lunch followed by a delicious apple crumble with lashings of custard. I would highly recommend a visit.

very pleased with my takeaway. tasty, hot on arrival and good portion size

Had cheesy chips very tasty and a good brew of tea.

We were staying nearby for a few days and were lucky enough to visit this cafe. The coffee is the nicest around and the pies and cakes delicious. The service was also fantastic- definitely recommend.

Just wanted people to know this place does not accept macmillan cards to allow you to use the toilet in an emergency, my husband was refused access to a toilet yesterday , 12th August, despite asking about the menu first and then asking for the toilet. Because his need was urgent due to his condition he just said forget it then. The owner then came out and shouted at my husband saying you've just upset a member of my staff. I explained that he was a macmillan card holder and that his need was urgent but she still didn't offer assistance, just said I haven't got time to talk to you, so we left in a hurry. We are two old age pensioners by the way.

LOVE this place. Regularly come for an ice cream sundae when there's something to celebrate. Huge selection of ice cream flavours and the sorbets are really nice too!

Burger bar. Some nice walks. Parking can be tricky at peak times. Worth a visit just for the view. Now taking card payments. Always check opening times.

A great find in Morecambe. Reasonable priced decent food. Super friendly staff. The lots of Gluten Free options. Really nice tasting coffee.
