About

Lewis's Bistro is a contemporary, family‑run restaurant at the heart of the Lake District, tucked into 2 Broadgate in the picturesque village of Grasmere. With a seating capacity of just 24 per sitting, it offers a cosy, intimate dining experience that feels like a private supper in a stylish country house. All dishes are cooked fresh to order and, whenever possible, sourced locally; the kitchen prides itself on a comprehensive allergy policy and a wide range of gluten‑free options. The menu is a balanced blend of classic Cumbrian fare and Mediterranean influences, featuring items such as Cumbrian fillet steak, Grasmere‑roasted lamb rack, and a Mediterranean vegetable casserole. Starters range from black pudding with mushrooms to pan‑fried scallops with pea puree, while desserts include sticky toffee pudding, Bakewell tart, and a traditional Cumbrian cheese board. Lewis's is fully licensed and offers a hand‑picked wine and spirit selection. It welcomes dogs—up to four at a time—making it a popular spot for pet‑loving travellers. With opening hours from 18:00 to 23:00, Tuesday to Saturday, the bistro is the ideal venue for a relaxed evening out or a celebratory dinner in the Lake District.
