HIGHLY COMMENDED

Fellinis, Ambleside

Fellinis serves sophisticated modern vegetarian cuisine which has a Mediterranean twist. Dishes such as asparagus, mushroom and cream strudel and roasted squash and thyme risotto make return visits a must – even for carnivores

Head chef Ryan Blackburn has a CV that includes some of the UK’s top establishments. Now, he has set up on his own, with the help of his brother, to serve exquisite food in the tiny former workplace of William Wordsworth.
