   Wonderful meal. I had the falafel which was a lovely plate of wonderful flavours. We asked for adaptations to the meal for another member of our party which was undertaken with no problem. Great service.

   Really delicious food and excellent, friendly and efficient service in nice surroundings. I particularly recommend the vegetable tempura, teriyaki beef tacos and chocolate fondue (the latter most definitely to share). We had a lovely birthday meal with the family.

   This is a unique Keswick eatery with a simple yet interesting Asian/western amalgam fusion style menu, served by delightful staff and obviously good chefs! Had been here pre- pandemic and were delighted to find it still thriving in 2022!

   The restaurant is centrally located. The food was of a very good standard with a good range of options. The service was prompt and the staff was excellent.

   Second visit we’ve made where the dining experience has been affected by electrical problems - sort it out! Food not bad and offers a nice variation to most of the other fare available in Keswick, but won’t return for a while. Front of house welcome was also poor.

   We really enjoyed our meal at Merienda. The menu was full of unusual items, the helpings were ample and the waitress was very helpful. I had the sea bass special. It was perfect. Unfortunately I couldn't manage a dessert! The service was a little slow but the waitress did explain that they were one fryer down. I would suggest you book as several people were turned away from this popular restaurant.

    Delicious food, the pork wontons and chicken wings starters were both very tasty. I then had the sea bass special which was the star of the show! Absolutely delicious! Would visit again just for that! So many other nice sounding things on the menu that I wanted to try as well. Service was good, the staff were helpful. I’d recommend a visit.

    Was looking forward to the sea bass, but unfortunately they ran out. Food very nice but would like see a few more choices on the mains. Had lunch here a couple of days before. Would definitely go back. Service really friendly

    We have visited Merienda a few times for lunch previously to great satisfaction so decided to give the evening menu a try. We were unable to fault the staff who were very attentive and helpful. The food was fabulous. We had the bread and dip as a starter, and the pulled pork burger for the main. Both highly recommended and excellent value for money. Unfortunately we were seated upstairs at a table for 2, between two other tables which were both occupied by groups of overly loud, quite intoxicated males. There was a lot of unnecessary swearing, rudeness to a member of staff and loud complaints regarding another group of customers for bringing in (a very well behaved) dog. All this took the edge off the evening but was in no way the fault of the staff and for that reason I would recommend and will rebook at this establishment.

    Lovely freshly cooked food served by friendly kind staff . Small restaurant all dishes look made on the premises . I had lovely sea bass with crushed new pots and pak choi and carrots . Quite a large portion . The other dish was the lamb burger special with truffle wedges which was very tasty . No waiting around for service here . A high quality establishment.

    The food is good and came out quickly. The ambience was nice. The service was the problem. Not that they were understaffed - which they were a bit. One of them discussed with a couple how he would not drink a particular beer as people would think he wasn’t looking for a girlfriend. He then told 2 ladies next to us that a desert was too much for them but would be fine for us. Nice food, nice environment- but a really awkward meal.
