This was our second time at The Old Stamp House. It has been excellent on both occasions. Delicious inventive dishes from excellent local produce. Sublime cooking in a relaxed comfortable setting. We'll be back a third time.

Had a quick lunch and wasn't disappointed. Both the tacos and burrito had generous portions of steak and were delicious. I liked the short simple menu, would eat here again if in the area.

What a gem! The service was nothing but great! Really friendly and welcoming. My partner and I had full breakfasts which were really nice. While waiting the waiter popped over to show off a freshly baked quiche. Couldn't resist and ordered a sliced to go. Once ready to pay we have spotted all the lovely cakes on display. Couldn't resist either and got couple to t/a. Amazing!!! Lemon drizzle ?
I would love an option for hash brown with my breakfast, but that's because on top of cakes I love potatoes ;)
Hash browns or not its a must visit when around Ambleside!!! Also coffee is yum!

Our first visit to this place and I didn't know what to expect. The shop and the staff are dressed from the time when the shop was first built. The gingerbread is delicious and service was good at a busy time.

Great wee café, fantastic food and service. Very small though, so if you don't mind an intimate dining experience this is the place for you. Expect to wait during busy times.

Also, a very bijou toilet...

Fellinis Restaurant

Church St, Ambleside

The most wonderful vegan food. Absolutely delicious. We highly recommend everything we chose as a family of five: the cauliflower steak, nut roast, onion tarte tartin, and desserts of roasted peaches, chocolate bomb, and crumble. The service was excellent. Very attentive, welcoming and polite. The atmosphere was lovely and we were sat in the cutest booth. We can’t wait to go back.

Sheila's Cottage

The Slack, Ambleside

My wife and I have been going to Ambleside twice a year for nearly 20 years... We look forward to Sheilas cottage so much that we always have two meals each visit - so 4x a year !! The standard of food and service never drop and the menu retains a comfortingly similar look with local fresh produce at the core. The food is based on hearty local favorites and served with perfectly cooked steamed vegetables , never limp or undercooked. My last meal was fish and chips... i just fancied it but thought it would be a mistake to move away from more local dishes.... it was fantastic.. the batter was crisp but not greasy and the chips were plentiful and delicious.... Just proves that the chef really knows his craft - dogs are welcome and the atmosphere is relaxed and inclusive, plenty of seats and great service. Thanks to all the staff!!

We often seek out Michelin star restaurants on our travels and this did not disappoint. The ambience was spot on, the waiters and chefs very knowledgeable and interesting sharing a story about each plate and some of these dishes were truly the best I've ever had, the salmon and particularily the cheesecake were absolutely incredible.

Proper old pub, with quiet nooks, no music or telly, which is exactly what we needed after a day of hiking. Went for 3 nights and would be back again next time I'm in Ambleside. Cheers!

We had a really special evening at this lovely authentic Japanese restaurant for our 10th wedding anniversary. 8 courses and byob. Darren and Laura were so friendly and informative and it was unlike anywhere we've ever eaten before - a great experience. It is really small (6 tables) so book ahead. Thanks both for a lovely evening :)
