"Deliciously crafted dishes, impeccable service, and a cozy ambiance define this culinary gem. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted warmly and guided through a delightful gastronomic journey. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and creativity. The staff's attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly elevated our dining experience.
We were welcomed with a smile on entry and directed to a table. Menu is interesting with plenty of options, we arrived at 2:30pm so they were still serving food. We went with the special of a bbq chicken wrap which was good but nothing special (too much chicken in the wrap and was fairly bland). Background music not too loud but I would say it’s expensive (located on the Main Street so I get why prices are high).
Called in for a coffee and immediately given a warm welcome, lovely atmosphere, great coffee. We had a toasted cheese scone ( something I’d never thought of doing) and it was delicious came with Brie and onion chutney. They had a wine delivery while we were there and he was asked if he wanted a coffee … that’s lovely to see. Top marks to the staff can’t wait to return
Visited for the third time today. Absolutely loved the food and ambience. The staff was very warm and welcoming. Definitely recommend you try the pistachio cake and the strawberry and kiwi tea which I enjoyed so much I forgot to take pics. Also loved the lamb koftas, and the eggs royale ❤️
Visited here for a spot of early lunch one day while visiting Keswick. Interesting menu, somewhat different to many of the usual cafes and restaurants about, a little more varied use of ingredients and produce. Busy little place, food was tasty (soup and halloumi). Service very good. We enjoyed it.
We were a party of 23 celebrating a birthday. The staff were helpful at every stage from booking to dining.
We brought a cake which we were able to assemble and decorate at Merienda before the event, they provided a table specially for it.
The food was incredibly good and they catered for dietary needs.
Wow. At first I thought the prices were a little inflated, but then I tasted the food. Beautifully fresh and flavoursome, cooked to perfection. Genuinely don’t remember the last time I enjoyed a meal rather than simply refuelled. Came back the day after next, and will certainly be back the next time I’m in these parts. Excellent.
A small restaurant with exceptional service, a quaint seasonal menu and a chilled atmosphere. I had a full roasted trout and it was beyond delicious!
Meriendas is a lovely place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or just a coffee and cake. The staff a warm and friendly. It gets very busy at times, but the staff are always professional and kind and take time to make sure everyone has what they need, especially Lanie. They are also great with the dogs and welcome them too.
We visited Merienda and following reading other reviews and was very happy with our choice.
If you want to go and have a pub lunch where your choices are Cumberland sausages, burgers and chips visit one of many local pubs.
If you want to have a good quality locally made meal then you can't go wrong here. All freshly produced, this was our favourite meal of our few days in Keswick and Medienda comes highly recommended.
A friendly welcome is assured
A definite place to visit and revisit again and again!
The menu is quite extensive ( refer to the website) . Everything seems to be made from scratch which wonderful to see. The Staff were very attentive but not intrusive.
I meant to take some photos but forgot but if we stay another few days we might, just might book a table to experience such amazing food.
Booked a table here for 2 for dinner after calling by for a lovely breakfast. Service was superb, friendly & efficient staff. Our food was absolutely delicious! Perfect 😍 Thank you!
It was a bit quiet when we first walked in but after we ordered more people walked in, so the atmosphere was good, really cozy and warm (it was quite early when we arrived anyway). Service was great, our server was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and you can tell they use top quality ingredients. We had the vegetarian options.
Lovely evening to be had here, food was excellent, all home made and plenty of it. We had the Meatball Linguine and Corn fritters, Lemon posset and Sticky toffee for desert. Nice ambient background music making for a perfect atmosphere where people arent having to fight over the volume of music when talking. Service was friendly and would definitely recommend it.
We had dinner at the Merienda last night and had pre booked a table which I do recommend otherwise you will struggle as a walk in.
Anyhow to the food.....
For starters we had the Wanton and Sriracha chicken wings, both nice but the Wanton were off the scale, sooooo good.
For our mains my wife had the Caesar salad which was superb and I had the Jerk Chicken whilst despite being cooked well and tasty I did feel it should have been a breast rather than a leg & a drumstick, but you know this is my preference and other diners may well be happy.
For deserts I had the cinnamon and apple pie with icecream and my wife the lemon possett which was so sweet she could not finish it which was a shame.
The furniture is reclaimed and quite comfortable, atmosphere relaxed and the waitresses spot on so overall almost 5/5 but not quite.

Wow, amazing brunch! I had the grilled halloumi and it was so refreshingly different. I added bacon, was pretty expensive but I felt mine was definitely worth it, £9.95 and to add bacon was an extra £2. Good size food. Flat white was £3, again quite expensive but nice. The table also had a full English, the Hunters I think it was called, but thought it was a bit naughty that you had to add beans, black pudding, hash brown all for extra £2s, beans were an extra £1.50. A full English really should include those items... would have cost about £14 for a full English. Fresh orange juice was nice but again that was £3.75 for a small glass. Atmosphere was buzzing, with the market on in the high street it was heaving, not many spare tables and clearly a very popular choice for people passing. My favourite part I have to say were how lovely the server was and the other gentleman, super happy and chirpy, willing to go the extra mile for people. Was very impressed especially as they were flat out and drinks orders were building up. Highly recommend visiting for the brunch list.
