Ambleside, Mediterranean Restaurant Guide

“In the area, Zeffirelli‘s is rightly celebrated” – this Lakeland fixture (est. 1980) has been a feature of the town centre for nearly 45 years and is part of a quirky site incorporating a cinema and jazz bar. “Although it‘s a vegetarian restaurant, often people eat there without realising there’s no meat on the menu! The food’s well-presented and doesn‘t make a big fuss about being vegetarian”. “With lots of friendly staff, it’s deservedly popular”.

“Tiny restaurant that has been providing good-value fish cookery in Windermere for over 10 years”, where “excellent seafood including oysters” is backed up by “friendly service” in fairly “basic” surroundings.
