Review Kysty Ambleside - Ambleside

Sam B
Amazing place. Chef went out of his way to prepare vegan and gluten free options for me which were incredible, he also came out to have a chat and ask me how the food was, which I really appreciate. All the staff here were friendly and welcoming and the whole restaurant has a beautiful vibe. Some of the best food we had in the lakes.

My partner & I enjoyed a wonderful dinner here last weekend. Everything we ordered was expertly prepared without a lot of fanfare or pomp (the lamb was especially delicious). Table service was friendly and approachable, if anything just a tad slow. I wouldn’t normally complain about them being slow but we were reminded twice before seating that they would need the table back in 2 hours. It’s discomforting to be rushed and then made to wait. Do make reservations and make them far in advance. You will not be disappointed with the food!

Beautiful food. Great service, lovely touches with offering freshly made bread and a taster before the meal. Scallops were delicious and the guinea hen was amazing!

Everything was 5 stars. It was our wedding anniversary so decided a treat was required. This exceeded our expectations. We chose to go with the wine pairing for each course and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I would definitely eat at Kysty again. We had a great night and we so well looked after by the staff. The food was truly incredible.

This was the best food I've had in a while; staff is very friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend coming here for a culinary highlight to your lake district trip.

The staff were attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was good, however the food looked great, but was a bit bland. I had cod, my partner had cabbage dish and both were quite watery as if ?over steamed. The dishes didn't have much of the sauce with them and so it felt quite repetitive in taste - me and my partner both thought the same. I did tell the staff ahead of time it was my partners birthday, but apart from one waitress saying happy birthday they didn't do anything else -I don't expect much but something would be nice from a restaurant aiming for high end.

We had a fantastic lunch at Kysty - a great start to our long weekend in the lakes!

This is a hidden gem. The ambiance is lovely and the decor, tableware and furniture was modern rustic and charming. The food was out of this world. The amuse-bouche were delightful and a lovely touch. All courses were absolutely delicious, so well presented and all components perfectly complimented each other. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere, not pretentious, but classy. The staff were friendly, explained each course well and were attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit and can't wait to go back again.

We recently had a really lovely anniversary meal here. The food and service were outstanding and the team were able to make a gluten free vegetarian meal for my wife and that didn't seem to a problem at all. It was such a great evening. Thanks.

This was a treat to ourselves as we had seen the restaurant shown on Tom Kerrigans catering programme. What a fantastic meal....there was so much taste in every mouthful from the wee bread rolls to the gorgeous mascarpone mousse pudding. Totally delicious. Service was impeccable and the ambience in the restaurant was spot on. Yes...we would go again!
Travel And Dine
Beautiful meals, amazing service, lovely decor. I have been here twice now about 18months apart. The service is always friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are high but in line with Ambleside as a whole. Food is fantastically presented. The amuse bouche are often some of the highlights and the bread is unbelievably good l. The balance of a casual at ease service and the quality of the food is ideal for a social meal that still feels like a treat. My only criticism is that the menu seems to have stayed largely the same for about 18months now and as it is quite small this is more noticeable. Particularly for any vegetarians as they only have one starter and main that they could have.

Absolutely faultless - a very special dinner, wine and food were perfect and staff extremely attentive.

I think this is the best restaurant I have ever been to. We arrived a little later than booked due to an accident on the road, but the staff were so polite and happy to still accommodate us when we were expecting to be turned away. We ordered starters, mains and desserts as we wanted to try a little but of everything. We received some complimentary nibbles before our starters arrived, which was such a lovely surprise and each thing that was served to us was a delicious mouthful of flavour heaven. We were also served a little bit of bread (I think they said that it was made with beer) which was very dense, but delicious and very filling. I really want the recipe to this bread so I can make it at home! Every time a dish came out, the waiter would kindly explain each element to us. The food is beautifully presented and each element of the dish really compliments the other. Even though the portions may be classed as small by some, they are incredibly filling and you definitely leave the restaurant feeling full and satisfied. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area and if I am ever back, will definitely visit again. For the quality of food you receive, this place is very reasonably priced as well.

Hidden in a small alleyway away from the busy streets of Ambleside we discovered an hidden gem for culinary delight ;-) Bistro has a charming atmosphere and amazing staff providing a top notch service to guests. This was accompanied with amazing dishes that we enjoyed fully by us and our kids. Pre dinner snacks and bread were well presented and super yummy !! Venison and Fish mains were super yummy see photos. Accompanied by a good wine and local gin selection. Great evening out with delicate and well prepared food. Definitely will be visiting again in our next trip in Lake District Well done chef and team.

The Kysty experience is a sensastional taste encounter! The combination of flavours and textures are well planned and executed. There is something new even for the most seasoned foodie, I never thought I would find a raspberry and horseradish combination so delicious! The staff are warm and attentive who explain each dish and its ingredients when brought to your table. A small error was made when bringing one of our dishes to the table, which really wasn't any trouble but the staff insisted we had a free drink on the house which was very kind of them! From the aromatic voluté and shrimp with sweet undertones to the melt in your mouth venison and acidic plum with earthy golden beetroot and fluffy confit potatoes the dishes we're excellent but for me desert was exceptional, bitter coffee ganash, silky smooth chocolate and a fruity cherry sorbet was unforgetable! Don't skip desert! Valpolicella, Chateauneuf du pape, Montagny, Monbazillac.. Wine lovers eat your heart out! Highly reccomended!
