The best restaurants in Windermere Bowness South South Lakeland North West

Georgia was very friendly and very helpful when making our booking with our dog. All the staff were excellent, but the young gentleman with blonde hair was exceptional. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to get his name, he was very knowledgable and advised us on the menu with any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble for him, and he made our visit very enjoyable without being too much. We will definitely recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely amazing customer service! Brilliant staff couldn’t ask for more 5/5⭐️ really friendly and helpful to me and my family

We had a great evening at Lago. Their meat and cheese charcuterie board was excellent with a great selection of produce. We loved their extensive drinks menu and I have to call out their excellent margaritas! A great spot!

I loved this colourful little café, but unfortunately I had to mark them down as I think something must have been burnt shortly before we arrived, and my eyes are so sensitive that within a few minutes my eyes were stinging and streaming. I had a fabulous hot chocolate, and my son really enjoyed his burger. I would have liked to have stayed longer but my eyes were so sore (and it was too cold to sit outside) that I just wanted to leave. Staff were fantastic, and I feel terrible that I couldn’t give them the 5 stars that they deserve.

Tucked away from the main drag in Bowness it’s a little delight. Hand made sandwiches to order and delicious looking cakes. Amazing value as well. Definitely worth making the effort to find it.

The ice cream flavours here at Rileys are fantastic! Love every flavour and I'm a picky Vanilla enjoyer They also have 4 Paws Ice Cream for the pups! Gluten and sugar free - perfect for the furbabies! My dogs loved it! 🍦😋

Fui a comer un sándwich de tocino y un café esta mañana. La comida y el café eran geniales, pero lo más destacado fue abrazar a los dueños del precioso Bulldog Francés, Pug. Pase si tiene la oportunidad.

I go there in my first time trip in last week. I spend 2 hours and take some beer with my partner. We really enjoy the time. I'll come here again.

What a gem!! Me & my partner grabbed 2 turkey bacon sub rolls from here for lunch, they were £4.50 each and they were awesome! You never get value for money like that these days, it was fresh, warm and massive, a 10/10 sandwich. Even better after a big walk in the fells. Will return often i’m sure! Friendly warm service too. They also had a salad bar that looked insanely good too - might try that next time. Thanks! ~ Rosie&Matt

Again another lovely time at the Bistro, Storrs Hall. If you are passing here , call in. Whether it be for a coffee,or a glass of wine on the beautiful outside terrace . afternoon tea, lunch or dinner. Last night was fabulous. And Erazmus made or evening. Thank you Storrs.

It's been 8 years since we've been here for a meal, and again, it did not disappoint. From the warm, friendly welcome to the absolutely delicious food. The same chef and owner for 30 years proved that this place is hard to beat. Travelled 5 hours from the other side of the country for this restaurant and their special steak. We will always come back as long as this place exists.

Super easy to get to. Cafe opposite also. I went during torrential rain and the trail was only ightky slippery but waterlogged. The waterfall was very powerful so I'd rwxommenr it during wet weather

Only a quick visit after a long walk but we all enjoyed our hot drinks. Good coffee as well as the expected hot chocolate. Very friendly owner who clearly enjoys interacting with her customers.

A fabulous resturant, the cosy atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent food quality. The wines are a fantastic selection, this is a must if you are serious about enjoying good food and drink. We were there for the first time with family last night, it will not be our last visit.

Stumbled across this little Italian restaurant after searching on trip advisor for somewhere to eat in Bowness and it didn’t disappoint. On a cold evening it was so cosy and warm. The staff were so welcoming and the food was just amazing. We will definitely return.
