Glass House Restaurant Description
One of the largest restaurants in the Lake District, this is a busy, bustling place with the action taking place on three levels, including a mezzanine floor. For such big premises it really is quite an achievement to provide consistent good quality Modern European food, which appeals not just to tourists but the locals as well.
They also tailor what they offer quite cleverly from the Lite Bites at lunchtime like Cumberland sausage with mash potato and pickled red cabbage or tagliatelle with smoked chicken, blue cheese and walnuts, to an early evening menu offering exceptional value, and finally the full 'a la carte'.
The choice on that could include: crispy duck salad with watercress and coriander or taleggio and pomegranate risotto to start, followed by marinated seared fillet of salmon with deep fried celeriac and cumin sweet potato, lemongrass and lime dressing; braised Herdwick lamb with gratin dauphinoise or roast breast of Lakeland chicken, walnut cous-cous and basil cream.
Not only is the menu interesting, but so is the wine list, with most of the choices under £20 a bottle, presenting excellent value for money. No children under 5 years.

Anna and Ken (17 April 2009)
We ate at the Glass House over the Easter weekend. They were very busy and yet the service was excellent, from the young lad who dealt with our wine order to the manager who provided a watchful yet subtle presence. The starter I had was the best: sautéed king prawns with lemon grass and ginger dressed noodles which was cooked to perfection. Portion sizes were good especially if you have been up on the hills all day. The place had a great atmosphere with both young and middle aged clientele. They have managed to combine a casual approach with a bit of class, which won for me hands down compared with our other restaurant choices in Ambleside. I definitely recommend it.

My boyfriend and I went to the Glass House Restaurant after a recommendation from a friend. We have to say that we were not disappointed. I had the scallops for starters and they were definitely the best I’ve ever had. For mains, my boyfriend opted for the lamb whilst I went for the leg of duck confit with Cumberland stuffing. The portions were very large but we still gave it a go. After being totally stuffed we couldn’t resist a dessert and shared the lemon tart. The food was excellent and the service was attentive but not intrusive. The atmosphere was romantic and we will definitely go again.
