Great for vegetarians. Lots of choice, lovely food and good service. My pizza - artichoke, caramelised onions, Gorgonzola and walnuts - was scrummy and my husband enjoyed the lentil rissole. The atmosphere at lunch time was lively (Christmas holidays, lots of children). Would have tried an evening visit if we'd been in the Lakes for longer. Would certainly eat there... more

We actually went here for the cinema. luckily for us there was a spare table so we did the cinema and meal combination. I'd recommend booking in advance. Great. more

We have been coming to Zeffs for years. But I must say that this latest visit was the best. It was at the time of the floods so there was a weird atmosphere in Ambleside. So to cheer ourselves up we went to Zeffs. Although they had less staff than normal as quite a few people couldn't get there we... more

We use Zefferellis all the time when we visit Ambleside. The food is really special, Morning coffee with home made cakes and scones is to die for. Lunches and evening meals are also fabulous. The staff are friendly, hardworking and efficient. Jaro one of the staff always makes us feel so welcome. Their pizzas are fabulous and their pastas are... more

We have been visting Zeffirellis for the past 15 years and we have always experienced great surroundings, service and superb food. We were visiting the lakes again on Tuesday 17th and automatically booked in at Zeff's, our expectations were surpased, just when we thought it could not get any better it did. From the moment you step into the resturant... more

A real find with live music at the weekends. All vegetarian but don't let that put you off. It's well worth a visit. more

Not every meat eater would pick a Vegetarian reataurant as one of the best they have eaten in but give this place a try and I am sure you will change your mind. A well balanced and varied menu means there is something for everyone. Go on give it a try. more

As vegetarians we found the food to be good. However, this was spoilt when we were directed to a table close to a family with two very noisy children. We asked for a table well away from the noise and the waitress directed us to a distant table in a less than friendly manner - and there we were thinking... more

We were somewhat surprised when reading the menu not to find any meat dishes and were then informed it was a vegetarian restaurant! This happened to couples sitting either side of us also so obviously wasn't something we'd missed. Aside from that the food was extremely good and good value. No complaints. more

I was unsure about eating here as it is vegi and I love my meat. But we were swayed by previous reviews and very glad we were. I had the ravioli and it was delicious - absolutely no need for the meat! Followed with the chocolate sundae and was unable to finish it, but what I had was yummy Food... more
