Fellinis Restaurant

Outstanding in every way. I’m not vegetarian, I’ve never eaten in a vegetarian restaurant before, however the menu looked so good and we felt the reviews could not be ignored. The dining area is spacious warm and well laid out. The service team are very friendly but also professional. The meals were exceptional, the presentation sublime. Perfection on a plate. I could not fault our experience in any way it was a lovely. We finished with coffee but they paired alcohol had run out. Thanks to the person who went shopping, it was so cold and we would have happily accepted an alternative but it shows that the team are dedicated and truly believe in their service . Thank you.

Fellinis is my all time favourite restaurant even though I've dined in places all over the world. It's consistently great food and service headed up by manager Ninad who we know from years gone by. There are plenty vegan options on the menu and vegan wines are clearly labelled. We went for my 65th birthday in this occasion with my husband and had the most fabulous meal. We ordered the oyster mushrooms and polenta to start, courgette rolls and cauliflower steak as mains with a crumble and pineapple to finish (see menus). Beautifully presented dishes, perfectly seasoned and full of flavour. I will be returning in February as we are visiting the Lakes for a two week self catering trip and Fellinis will definitely be on our list to visit.

My partner and I visited Fellinis and it was genuinely one of the most memorable vegetarian meals we have ever had. We walked in without a booking and were greeted with such warmth that we immediately felt welcome. The service throughout the whole evening was exceptional. Every member of staff was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. They held lovely conversations with their regular guests and it was clear that this is a place people return to often. One couple near us had even been given the same table as the night before. For us, that said everything. They also took my coat when I arrived and even complimented it as we were leaving which I thought was a really thoughtful touch. The ambience was beautiful. Soft lighting, gentle music and a calm atmosphere that made the entire experience feel relaxed and elegant. The presentation of each plate was incredible. Every dish looked like it had been created by someone who truly cares about their craft. For starters I had the grilled polenta with olive tapenade, caperberry and balsamic vinegar. The flavours were balanced and the tapenade tasted fresh and rich. My partner had the twice baked blue cheese souffle with cheese sauce and it was light, silky and full of flavour. For my main course I ordered the puy lentil and cashew nut roast with boulangere potato, roasted vegetables and green peppercorn sauce. It arrived looking like the most luxurious version of a nut roast I have ever seen. The sauce was beautiful and the dish felt comforting but elegant at the same time. My partner chose the roasted aubergine and puy lentil moussaka with ricotta and creme fraiche topping served with tomato sauce and roasted new potatoes. He said it was a ten out of ten meal and even I enjoyed it, despite not normally liking moussaka. He actually said it was the first place he has ever been where he thought that missing out on dessert would genuinely be a shame. Dessert confirmed that feeling. I chose the Malibu and raspberry roulade with ice cream which was light, creamy and full of fresh flavour. My partner ordered the gooseberry and strawberry crumble with ice cream and it was warm, comforting and perfectly balanced. From start to finish the whole evening felt special. Beautiful food, beautiful service and a beautiful atmosphere. Fellinis has become one of our favourite places we have ever eaten and we will absolutely return on our next visit to Ambleside.

Fellini's was an accidental find on a recent holiday and we couldn't have been happier! Excellent food that just happened to be vegetarian or vegan. Excellent wine selection, friendly and welcoming staff and wonderful ambience. It was so good we went back the next day to try more of the menu. Heartily recommend.

Absolutely delicious food. Lovely place to eat in. Relaxing music playing in the background. Great service and very friendly people who served us. Highly recommend, even if your not vegetarian! We will definitely go back next time we are in the area.

We had booked two evening meals at Fellinis Restaurant as part of a stay with Ambleside Manor Vegetarian Guest house. The food is excellent and the menu has been created to ensure the meals are tasty, wholesome and high in nutrition whilst being presented in a very appealing and appetising way. The staff are excellent providing a high level of service. Wine choices are good and easy to find a vegan wine if needed. We will most certainly be returning and look forward to our next meal there.

Very good food, well cooked and well presented. Vegetarian with lots of vegan options. The cauliflower steak was delicious as was the tart tatin.

Our friends are vegetarian so we always try to get them somewhere with a good choice. No problem here - everything! Gorgeous cheese soufflé then veg filled pancakes were an excellent choice. Friends had asparagus starter and cauliflower steak. Very tasty and good sized portions. Only issue was not much choice of non alcoholic drinks. No problem for me and hubby tho 🤪

The appraisers were amazing in both taste presentation. Our main course looked amazing but was not very special in the flavor department. It wasn't bad, just okay. However when the server asked how it was and my wife said her meal was a little salty but okay the server lost her composure and totally went off about how dare we tell her that at the end of a meal. So if you go and the server asks how everything was just say it was amazing regardless of reality to avoid a scene. We won't go back.

Staff were friendly and swift to take our orders and serve us. Overall a nice atmosphere. The starters and mains we had were very nice. I am giving a four mainly because I thought the desserts where not that special, especially after having two wonderful dishes before that I was expecting something really amazing but it was still good! I would certainly go back if I am in the area.

Delicious Mediterranean influenced vegetarian food and lovely, friendly service. The restaurant is comfortable and nicely decorated. When we were there (including a drink and coffee) our three course meal was about £25 each. Their menu is on their website. They also have a cinema and offer a combined cinema and meal deal.
