Where to eat Contemporary food in Windermere: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Contemporary food in Windermere, England, United Kingdom. This popular resort town is located just a mile from Windermere Lake, the largest lake in England and alleged home of more than one peculiar sea creature. If we've scared you out of skiing, boating and fishing in Windermere Lake, there's always horseback riding and golf. Or you can explore the lake from the safety of a ferryboat, which regularly takes passengers from Hawkshead to Bowness.

We chose here for our anniversary dinner and we were impressed from start to finish! Lovely venue, service was impeccable, the courses were timed perfectly, the decoration on our table was a nice touch. As my wife is Coeliac it was good to see such a varied Gluten free menu, the food was tasty and the flavour combinations were amazing. Would happily visit again when we're in the area. Thank you for picking Cedar Manor for your special anniversary dinner. We are pleased to be around 90% gluten free throughout this menu and intend to keep it that way as we develop new menus.Look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to the Lakes.Best wishesCaroline and Jonathan

We are one of the smallest independent coffee shops and cafes in Bowness and operate as a two-man team, as such we do not offer fast food, just delicious food served as fast as we can! All of our dishes are prepared on site to order and we pride ourselves

Simple menu, but was fantastic. Between myself and two of our kids we had three of the flatbreads. Chilli flatbread and falafel flatbread were both incredible and the feta olive was also really good. My wife is Celiac so needs gluten free and she also quite enjoyed.Really glad you enjoyed the food and hope you found the sign!

What a great bar with lovely people. Stayed in Bowness for 2 nights with my daughters and their partners and went here both nights. Great live entertainment from a talented guy on the piano and attentive, friendly service. I promised to go back and I will.

Beautiful setting with lovely gardens. Food is a Far Eastern fusion with amazing flavours. All plates are sharing even soups which come in smaller bowls. Good house wine by the carafe. The ambiance is great with lots of space and attentive staff.

The whole experience is magnificent. Carefully crafted, beautifully presented, well executed dishes: seasoned, spiced and garnished with precision The 3 dining rooms are very calm and well staffed. As expected the wine list is very diverse and the cellar is in-view from the dining rooms.
