Fellini's

The Lake District


Fear not, veggies: even in the land of the Cumberland sausage and the tattie hotpot (lamb, vegetable and potato stew), you won't go hungry thanks to Fellini's sophisticated 'vegeterranean' food. The dishes are creative and beautifully presented – think delicate Moroccan filo parcels, stuffed portobello mushrooms and radicchio provolone ravioli.

It's run by the owners of Zeffirelli's, and a small upstairs cinema shows art-house and opera performances.
