Mizu Pan Asian Restaurant
One of the Lake District's most distinctive destination restaurants: polished without feeling stiff, excellent for sharing plates, sushi, cocktails and special occasions. Book ahead and allow time to enjoy the riverside setting.
We headed back to one of our favourite Pan-Asian restaurants in the Lake District, Mizu at Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa, for a very sunny family lunch. We had Lake District Hotels vouchers from my birthday and our wedding anniversary, so we decided to put th
Mizu Pan Asian Restaurant sits within Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa in Borrowdale, around three miles south of Keswick. Its light-filled dining room, cocktail bar, open kitchen and riverside terrace look towards Watendlath Beck, with Derwentwater and the surrounding fells close by.<br>
<br>
The menu brings together Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and wider South-East Asian influences. Expect sushi and sashimi, tempura, gyoza, ramen, curries, grilled sticks, larger plates and sharing platters. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices are clearly represented, while tasting menus offer a longer experience for special occasions.<br>
<br>
Mizu also serves a Pan-Asian afternoon tea and a dedicated lunch menu. The restaurant is open daily, but the menu changes across the day: lunch and afternoon tea are available from noon, with the main menu served at lunch and again in the evening. Booking ahead is strongly recommended, particularly for weekends, spa breaks and larger groups.<br>

Free hotel parking is available across the road, with disabled bays at the hotel entrance. Guests should tell the restaurant about allergies, access requirements or dietary needs when booking.
For me one of the best places to eat and impress loved ones in Western Cumbria. Great setting, food and staff. 🤫
We recently visited Mizu Pan Asian Restaurant at the Lodore Hotel near Keswick. Mrs Guru has tried to persuade the fussy Mr Guru for a long time and she finally succeed. It was a warm sunny day so a table outside it had to be. The interior of the restaurant was very modern and clean but you can’t beat eating amazing food whilst look at the Lake District surroundings. Even though he is a little bit fussy with his food there was plenty on the menu. Mr Guru had the 1 Sticks Platter, Mrs Guru went for the Sushi and Sticks Platter and Mini Guru was all for the Tempura Prawns. A few sides of sticky rice, steamed bao buns and salad added to the experience. It was chance to try our our chopstick technique. Knife and fork available on the table too. The food was fresh and tasty and certainly enough to eat. Although Mr Guru would have happily had 2 of each stick. Lemonades and mocktails washed it all down. We couldn’t say no to dessert could we? Mr and Mini Guru went for the Chocolate Lava Cake and Mrs Guru went for the Vanilla Crèm Brûlée. Service was quick and with a smile and even with a £25 gift voucher the overall cost was reasonable. We will be visiting again!
Being a fussy eater I was always a bit reluctant to try Mizu. Having seen that they just launched a new menu I though now was the time to bite the bullet. WOW! The food was so amazing. Something for everyone and I think the price was reasonable for the experience. I will return!
