Hooked Seafood
Ellerthwaite Square, WindermereHooked Seafood Restaurant in Windermere (GOT US HOOKED!) was hands-down one of the best seafood dinners we’ve had in the UK. We were a big group so we ordered across the menu and shared plates, and everything was absolutely delicious, authentic and incredibly fresh. Hooked menu is a dream if you love proper fish and shellfish: freshly shucked oysters, tempura soft-shell crab, seared scallops, octopus carpaccio, king prawns, and a comforting Cullen skink to start, followed by standout mains like monkfish, halibut, whole plaice with lemon & caper butter, and hake with tomato/black olives all cooked perfectly with flavours that let the seafood shine. Sides like seasonal greens, roasted potatoes and fries rounded everything off beautifully. Warm, stylish atmosphere, genuinely friendly service, and a fantastic place for sharing and trying “a bit of everything” if you’re searching for the best seafood restaurant in Windermere, Hooked is a must!!

Brew Room Cafe
31-33 Crescent Rd, WindermereGreat food, surprisingly cheap for the area. I had the Sourdough wrap of the Day which was beautiful.
Downside: We went on a Sunday at 2.30pm. We were sat immediately in an almost empty cafe and staff were sweeping and mopping around us, putting chairs on tables and turning off the main lights when we had only just been served our lunch. I was panicked as I didn't want to get in the way of closing, but upon researching their opening times online, on the website and even asking staff, the conclusion was that they normally close at 5pm, however the girl working said they're quiet so were just waiting for us to leave before locking up. Talk about a killer of a mood.

The Lakeview Restaurant at Macdonald Old England Hotel
23 Church St, Bowness-on-Windermere, WindermereOld fashioned interior, which I think let's the atmosphere down somewhat. Needs modernisation.
The service was very good.
The food... the mozzarella was a little dry. The crayfish was fine. We both had the beef however, outstanding job, outstanding. Beef was perfectly cooked and the mash was super smooth. I'd like a little more gravy but that's just me. Cheesecake was a little pretentious with paintbrushed chocolate sauce on the plate. It's perfectly good without it.
Just need to sort out the look and feel of the place really.

The Magic Roundabout
8, Queens Square, Bowness-on-Windermere, WindermereA lovely little restaurant in Bowness on Windermere. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Great place to eat, with a good variety on the menu. We both had the single beef cheese burger. It came with lots of fries, side salad and coleslaw. Probably the best burger I've had in a long time. Would thoroughly recommend it if you're ever in Bowness.

The Lake View Bowness
Glebe Rd, Bowness-on-Windermere, WindermereWe spent some time in the Lake District recently, and found ourselves with a few spare hours on the last day before travelling home, where the weather had turned suddenly, and decided to go to the Lake View restaurant for an extended brunch/mixed grill. From start to finish, the staff were going out of their way to be so helpful, so what we thought would have just been a miscellaneous unplanned stop was very pleasant, and we'll have to return next time.

The brownies are also amazing, and they do homemade soup too, which isn’t on the menu, so you have to ask about it (like a fun little secret dish!).
The lady who owns and runs the café is so friendly and welcoming—she really creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to come back again. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Henrock
Linthwaite House Hotel, Crook Ln, Bowness-on-Windermere, WindermereFrom the moment we stepped into Henrock, we knew we were in for something extraordinary. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between modern sophistication and the natural warmth of the Lake District surroundings. Every detail, from the service to the plating, reflected the care and precision you expect from a Michelin-starred experience.
Each course was a masterclass in flavor and presentation. The ingredients were clearly seasonal and sourced with care, but it was the creativity in the pairings and techniques that truly stood out. Every bite felt deliberate and balanced, yet never pretentious. The wine pairings were also spot-on, enhancing the dishes without overshadowing them.
Service was professional yet warm, with the team striking that rare balance of attentiveness without intrusion. The pacing of the meal was flawless, allowing us to enjoy each course without ever feeling rushed.
Henrock isn’t just a meal. It’s an experience. Whether you’re a seasoned fine-diner or someone exploring their first Michelin-starred spot, this is a destination worth traveling for. We’ll absolutely be back.

San Pietro Windermere Restaurant
Jester Court, Birch St, WindermereWe were fortunate to get a table in the height of the summer season but so grateful we did. Not only was our waitress one of the nicest we have ever had but the food was absolutely outstanding. We skipped the starters and went straight for the main. Out of the four of us, three concluded that it was best main course of that particular food we had ever eaten. My sea bass and risotto was as good as anything I have eaten in a Michelin Star. My wife, who had the pork belly, felt the same. My daughter, who is gluten free, had the carbonara and also said it was the best pasta dish she had ever eaten. My other daughter had the lasagne and although not ‘the best’ she had eaten, it was in her top 3…haha. The desserts were also of the highest quality. Tiramisu for myself and gluten free brownie for the girls. Outstanding from start to finish. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. The perfect end to our trip to The Lakes.
