Porto
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"High quality ingredients and accessible wine list."
Overview
Located on a cobbled street in the heart of Bowness, Porto is just a five-minute stroll from Windermere, England’s longest lake. The cool blues and greens of the comfortable dining room echo the hues of the surrounding lakes and fells, although you can also enjoy the globally-inspired modern food on the heated roof terrace or in the garden.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills
