"For vegetarian dining in Ambleside, look no further than Zeffirelis and Fellinis (even enthusiastic meat eaters will find something to enjoy here!). Offering a contemporary, award winning dining experience, these two friendly restaurants are local institutions. Zeffirelis focuses on Italian cuisine, with pasta and home baked pizzas on the menu; while Fellinis offers more of a fine dining experience, with creative vegetarian dishes inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean."

"When we arrived in Ambleside, Zeffirellis was our first port of call. This Italian-inspired vegetarian restaurant is also owned by the same people as Fellinis & Ambleside Manor and is a little more casual than its sister restaurant. Their speciality is pizza and pasta dishes, with lots of vegan options available."

"A beloved local landmark, Zeff's is often packed out for its quality pizza and pasta. The £21.75 Double Feature deal includes two courses and a ticket to the cinema next door."

"Fellpack is a welcoming spot that prides itself on being a hub for adventurers, mountain lovers and daring foodies, providing a space to join together after a day around the lakes. Fusing worldly flavours and innovative cuisine, this trendy Keswick restaurant is sure to keep you coming back for more. Fellpack is one of the most popular restaurants in Keswick town centre, featuring unique comfort food, tasty cocktails and warming coffees."

"You absolutely must visit this little cafe while you’re in Ambleside. As the name suggests, apple pie is their speciality and they bake most items on site. We dived into The Apple Pie Cafe on an overcast day and enjoyed their famous vegan-friendly hot apple pie with an oat milk flat white by the fire."

"Probably the best option in Keswick for a sit-down dinner, Morrel’s is an attractive restaurant majoring in British bistro-style food. Glossy wood, spotlights and glass give it a refined feel."

"Lake Road, Keswick (20 min walk) — Daily specials which run alongside the restaurant menu. They also offer a Table d’hote menu on Sundays with 2 courses or 3 courses. (£££)Visit website »"

"The Wainwright is a charming pub in Keswick town centre, reopened in 2015 after extensive refurbishment. With the words “We don’t do fast food, we do good food as fast as we can” positioned proudly on their wall, you can expect to find a great range of locally sourced pub grub. The Wainwright has eight impressive real ales on tap so you’ll be able to taste a variety of beers from Cumbria."

"Not strictly a restaurant, however this bar serves great food and also a solid selection of local ales on draft. During the week it is a lovely quiet place to bring the dog and enjoy some decent food, however at later on a Friday or Saturday night it can get a bit loud if you are hoping for a quiet meal. Service is always friendly, and they do a great value early bird menu."

"With a great atmosphere and equally excellent food, The Lily Bar on Lake Road is one of Ambleside’s newest pubs. It boasts modern décor that generally attracts a younger group and hosts regular classic pub entertainment including weekly quizzes, open mic nights, live bands, and even a ‘pitcher night’."

"Located on banks of Derwentwater, The Lakeside Cafe is the perfect spot for light breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake or atmospheric dinner with stunning views. Email: theatrebythelake@baxterstorey.com. Website: www.theatrebythelake.com"

"The Lakes District is all shimmering lakes and craggy hilltops which attract over 15 million people each year. The Yorkshire Dales on the other hand is about the snaking rivers running though valleys of rolling green hills. It’s the perfect place to spend a few days stretching the muscle’s on a long walk or two."
