The best restaurants in Windermere Bowness South South Lakeland North West

We were greeted with the warmest welcome when we arrived with our dog. They made a huge fuss of her and gave her treats which she loved! The service was top notch and the food was delicious. We both opted for surf and turf skewers and they were lovely with huge portions that we couldn’t finish. This is our first visit to the Lakes but it won’t be our last and we will definitely be back to this fab restaurant.

Great dog friendly place for a quick coffee and cake! We were struggling to find an appealing place for a quick cuppa when we came across Graze and we were not disappointed. And we saw the food being freshly prepared and brought out for other customers and wished we had more time for lunch. We will definitely remember for our next trip to the area.

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.

I can recommend Andreea Sweets enough, I have been there for the forest cake who is absolutely delicious. For my birthday and my husband one we order birthday cakes from her and both they have been perfect on design and taste . If u want to enjoy the taste of something sweet and home made try it , you definitely not gone regret the choice you made .

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.

Delicious gelato. Rich, creamy, not too sweet or cloying. Excellent range of flavours including some with a unique British twist. Really enjoyed that.

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

We had a lovely experience at Storrs Hall. The food was very good quality and delicious! We were a party of 6 including my parents and our two sons ages 7 & 5. The staff were very welcoming and professional. The environment was really comfortable and stylish.

Well worth driving an hour and a half for our second visit to Blackwell. A unique and fascinating house. Our thanks to volunteer guide David for an unhurried tour and detailed insight into Blackwell's history. The cafe staff were superb as was the food and the Duty Manager was extremely enthusiastic and clearly smitten with the house herself. Her introduction to Blackwell on our arrival was most informative and we were amazed to see her gladly involved in carrying out a full range of tasks ranging from waitressing in the cafe to even cleaning the toilets as we were the last to leave - good management by example and at its very best. Allow good time to appreciate the Blackwell's design and high level of presentation as well as its beautiful setting. We could have spent a full day there.

We didn't have a booking but they managed to fit us in and were so pleased. The menu was excellent with wide variety of choices. The starters were particularly hard to choose from , so I had 2 starters . ! Food was excellent - really good especially for the price . Good wine selection too

Cosy, atmospheric restaurant which we look forward to trying again on our next visit to Bowness. Staff are lovely and provide efficient, friendly service. Food and wine reasonably priced. We felt the meals were well presented and tasty - there was an issue with one of our mains but the owner was very receptive to our comments and arranged a small adjustment to our bill. A nice place, we would definitely recommend.

Loved it, the food and wine was amazing. I had the Muscles Marinara to start and it was really good. Hopefully I will be returning many times. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Very good service. Not expensive. Very nice food. Had a small issue with one of the courses which as sorted out immediately with a smile and no fuss. Would come again
