Was there for a birthday meal which my family organised. My wife had the Seabass and lemon posset, I had corn fritters, onion bhaji and brownie. I'm vegetarian and it was the best meal that I've ever had. The staff were attentive and friendly. In short, I loved it.

Arrived at around 2, and it looked full. We were asked of we wouldn't mind going upstairs. No problem; had the whole room to ourselves! Food arrived and the generous portions were laid out like works of art. Tasty and felt full on leaving the restaurant! Staff lovely!

This was our second visit and I was just as delicious as we remembered. The fillet steak is to die for and the daily special sea bass was incredible! Service is lovely - staff are friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back when we come back to the area.

Great family dinner here. All dishes were delicious, generous and beautifully presented. Sticky Toffee Pudding is a standout even against stiff competition across the Lakes. Recommended.

Fabulous little restaurant on Keswick high street. All the dishes we ordered were incredibly tasty & well cooked. Perfect for a family meal. The chocolate fondue dessert is an absolute must try!

Had the best treat at Merienda today to catch up with my daughter who had been away and I couldn’t have chosen a more perfect place, the food as ever was phenomenal, we all had a different dish and we all said how gorgeous it tasted and looked. Always guaranteed a smile from Janet all in all cant rate it high enough can’t wait to go Back, soon. Thanks all.

Tried to go somewhere else for brunch but could not get in. Merienda came up on Google Reviews. What a great find. Seated upstairs. Really good breakfast - a bit different. My fry up was well cooked, large and came with cornbread. Very good value. Would not hesitate to go back and have either breakfast or evening meal.
