Matthew's Bistro - South Lakeland

We had a lovely meal here. Bistro was busy without it being too noisy so you couldn’t talk. Service was spot-on as was the food.

I don’t think we have ever eaten off the menu as the choice of specials is too good to miss. This time we have local venison in a port and black currant jus. Fabulous dinner will be back again and again.

Lovely food and attentive unhurried friendly service would definitely come back. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant

We ate here on a Friday evening while staying in Ambleside. We’d booked a table which I think is advised as it did steadily fill up over the evening. The food that we had was fantastic (Green Thai curry and beef bourguignon). Everything was very tasty. The desserts didn’t disappoint either (crème brûlée, sticky toffee pudding and chocolate baileys cheesecake). The staff were very friendly. Will definitely be back.

There are some great reviews, and that is why we chose to visit… sadly we cannot share a glowing review as others. Food was average at best, we have had better meals in pubs… Sorry didn’t do it for us.
