Zeffirellis in Ambleside is a fabulous restaurant! Quite a number of our party were veggie/vegan, but it didn't matter to the meat eaters, as the food was so good. There was a group of 14 of us, and although we were put in 2 booths rather than on one table, it was fine. The service was great, and the food even better. I will definitely be making a return journey. I would highly recommend it to anyone veggie/vegan, or even meat eaters for a change!

Every time I go to the Lakes I make a point of visiting Zeffs. I have been going there for years through all its transformations. The food and the atmosphere are first class. The complex includes two cinemas and you are able to get a meal and cinema deal. (2 courses and reserved cinema tickets all for £15.95 - what a bargain!)
There is now also a jazz cafe and bar. If you are ever in the area don't miss it, it is the best.
