It’s my wedding anniversary week after next and we’re heading to Ambleside for a couple of nights. Anyone got any recommendations for a decent restaurant? Want something pretty good but not hundreds of pounds.

There was that place that was featured on one of Gordon Ramsey’s shows but no idea whether they’ll be any good or not.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

I’m always a fan of Zefirellis http://www.zeffirellis.com/restaurant/ GOod if you are into mediterranean food.

Not in Ambleside but just down the road in Windermere is a place called “Jambo” not been for a couple of years but it is well worth the taxi down IMO.

Holbeck Ghyll is ok, that’s got a star, bit old school though, L’Enclume is very good, modern food, Simon Rogan is shit hot to be honest, taxi ride though as it’s in Cartmel, Gilpin lodge is good so I’ve heard, and like the others it’s got a star but It’s the only one I’ve not eaten at, if it was me I’d be getting a taxi to L’Enclume, hope this helps.

The curry house or Lucy’s if you want something cheaper for the 2nd night

2nd for Zefirellis

The Drunken Duck is rather good. A fair step from the town , and it has its own brewery .
Nb .- Not been for 2 years so might have changed .

The Log House – absolutely superb

+1 for Zeff’s. One of my favourite restaurants. Vegetarian, but you’d never know; bumped into a bloke in the loos who told me he’d been going there for a couple of years and hadn’t realised until he asked if they did steak one day.

Thank you everyone, there’s a good few suggestions in there so I’m sure we’ll find somewhere good.

Cheers

+1 The Log House.

I’ve had a couple of good meals in the Glass House – the one on the Ramsey show, next to Biketreks. The last was a couple of years ago mind, so it might have changed.

The wateredge up at waterhead was good when we went, as above though not been for some time

Daisy cafe for breakfast. OMG Awesome pwns other cafes.

Seriously.

Its a cab ride from Ambleside but the restaurant at Linthwaite House is pretty special.The Hotel has a private tarn overlooking Lake Windermere for a pre dinner romantic stroll as well.

Zefirelli’s is really good. Glass house was ok last time I went but we got turned away in May as they wouldn’t let us sit outside at 6pm with our baby daughter as they said she would disturb other diners-she was asleep!

Thai restaurant very good food

Zefs is good, the place gordon ramsey was at is next to biketreks. so worth a look in there too.

Also Lucy4’s is quite good too, if you like a bit of tapas.

The curry house there is tops!
