At Samling - Speisekarte

The Restaurant at Samling is outstanding in every way. It offers beautiful views of Windermere in a contemporary and spacious environment. The tasting menu is superb, featuring delightful surprises with each delicious course. The service is attentive and perfectly timed, with knowledgeable and friendly staff. The dishes are nicely balanced, and presentation enhances the taste and flavor without overshadowing it.

After researching Michelin-starred restaurants in the Lake District, we chose The Samling for our 10th anniversary meal and it exceeded our expectations. The restaurant's setting overlooking Windermere and beautiful gardens was impressive, especially as dusk settled. I don't want to give away any surprises, but the entire meal was truly an experience. The staff was incredibly attentive, and there were some unforgettable moments and flavors that I will always remember.

We have been dining here for a number of years when visiting the Lakes, this is the first time we have dined since they have their Michelin star. It was equally, if not more so, as delicious and elegant. Service is amazing. Food exquisite. The views are stunning. They catered perfectly for my gluten free dietary needs. As I’m coeliac I was given my own homemade gluten free bread separate from the others. All my dishes were made gluten free and tasted divine. I would highly recommend coming here for a special lunch.

This restaurant is exceptional, and we have tried many other Michelin star restaurants. The website doesn't do justice to how beautiful the location is: a grand entrance, cleverly designed landscaping that hides cars, and a stylish new kitchen/dining extension. We were greeted at the hotel front door by a maitre d', who provided excellent service throughout (although I unfortunately forgot her name). A fantastic barman served us drinks on the lovely terrace. The food and service were flawless. Although the atmosphere was quiet, it felt exclusive rather than empty. Definitely worth a visit!

We were the only party in the restaurant on a Saturday lunchtime and maybe this has to do with charging £80 for a four course lunch and £25 for a cocktail, seems over the top even for a Michelin star venue. The service was excellent, friendly and funny and of course the outlook on the lake is second to no other place. The food was very good, excellent duck, beef and dessert and wine pairing was also very good with some unusual wines. One negative would have the cod dish which was uninspired and overcooked and an Indian wine which is obviously a novelty but one best left in India! Overall very good.

Visited here this evening for my wife’s 60th birthday. From start to finish this was a fantastic experience. A warm greeting from staff as we arrived and drinks were served on the terrace whilst taking in the amazing view. The food and service were exceptional throughout and were enhanced by the panoramic views of the Lakeland sunset. Thank you in particular to Eric (sommelier) and Rebecca (table service) both were knowledgeable and informative but not pretentious and made the meal even more enjoyable. Lovely touch after the meal where we were served petit fours and a glass of 60 yo dessert wine to acknowledge my wife’s special anniversary. Overall an outstanding evening thank you.

As always we had the most delightful and delicious lunch. The setting is just magical with views over Lake Windermere. The hotel is a very elegant Victorian mansion and the dining room is the most amazing modern room with glass walls. The views from the dining room are stunning but the food is even better. All the courses were spectacular especially the duck,the cod and the beef fillet. The presentation and service are excellent. The service s always so special. Very friendly and professional. All thanks to the wonderful Rebecca and Alex the sommelier. He recommended some delicious wines which complemented the dishes perfectly. This is a very special restaurant. We are looking forward to ret...

Four of us dined at The Samling last night, three of us having done so on other occasions. I am lucky to have eaten there half a dozen times or so but this is the first time since before the lockdowns. What can I say it was probably about as close to perfect as any meal I 've ever had. And this was a sentiment shared by all of us. It was absolutely superb, every course was close to perfect, and some were possibly actually perfect. The Samling has always been good but this experience was absolutely 'knock out ', they are at the top of their game right now. The front of house team was friendly and professional, courteous but relaxed. Their dining room is one of the smartest in the Lake Distric...

Visited the restaurant with my friend Richard to try their tasting menu. We arrived early to a very welcoming reception. Took our time reading through the very impressive wine list over a cocktail. The house “Samling Negroni” is delicious, I would recommend. We decided not to have the wine flight but asked Rebecca, the Maitre ‘d and sommelier, to choose two wines for us. She hit the spot with an Oregon Pinot blanc and a New York State Lemberger. Both suited the tasting menu very well. We then moved to the dining room, wow. Floor to ceiling glass with astonishing views of Windermere. Hard to look at anything else but the views when you are seated at your table The menu dishes were elegant and... Speisekarte ansehen
