We came across The Postilion restaurant down a cobbled side street. Had a look and were instantly charmed by the look of the restaurant. Once inside it just gets better. Lovely service and the food is out of this world. After a long day out in the Lake district this is a wonderful place to come to and have a... More

We choose this restaurant because of the good reviews on TA and we were not disappointed. They do a pre 7pm special and alot of people took advantage of this as it saves you £5 a head. The menu is varied. I had the greek parcels to start (butternut squash and cheese in a filo pastry with tzatiki) - they... More

We were curious about the row of lamps leading to the door so followed. Had a really good meal the first night and enjoyed it so much we went the second night as well. Staff attentive without being intrusive. Some good deals if you eat before 7pm. Better book as it can get busy.

Thank God for the lanterns on the pavement outside this brilliant restaurant, otherwise we may have missed out on one of the most memorable meals my wife and I have ever had. The lanterns draw you in for a quite beautiful meal, perfectly attentive staff without being overbearing, just the right time gap in between courses and without question, the... More

This restaurant lives up to all the good reviews on Tripadvisor. Charming waitress and excellent service. Presentation and quality of food cannot be faulted. Vegetables cooked to perfection. You must make sure you visit this restaurant when in Bowness. Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Only one point - tables a little close together, but a great place!

Great food: from satay, garlic bread, to salmon in serrano ham served on mashed potatoes - yummi - to sirloin steak exactly cooked to the point, they even had hot chocolate and served cookies with it. Service (George from Romania) is so friendly and attentive, he made our visit enjoyable. The room we were in had about 6-7 tables, so... More
