Lovely meal as always - food is consistently good. I had the Salad of Cumbrian Goats Cheese, followed by the Roast Breast of Goosnargh Duck, and finished off with the Lemon & Ginger Cheesecake and coffee. All very tasty, and the portion sizes are about right so you are neither overwhelmed, nor left feeling hungry. Recommended.

We had a lovely evening at this busy restaurant where the welcome was enthusiastic and matched by the service and cuisine. Chris and his team know about flavour and our king scallop starters and my fillet steak, and Maggie’s venison were an absolute delight- some complicated cooking here, well executed. The wine list was interestin too with a good selection of well chosen bottles. Whenever we return to Carlisle we’ll definitely head back to Davids Restaurant!

We have been to Davids on many prior occasions, and as always the food was superb. I had the beef, which was wonderful. No need to have changed the knife to a proper steak knife, a plastic one would have cut through the meat like butter! And the souffle starter should not be missed. Highly recommended. Service professional and friendly. Already looking forward to our next visit. An absolute jewel among Carlisle eateries. Thank you Davids.

Great welcome from the team. Owners Chris and Emily greeted us personally and remembered it was our anniversary as we had our silver there last year. Food was amazing and was no trouble when I asked for a cheese souffle for my sweet as well as starter. Lovely surroundings very warm and friendly. Can not praise them all enough. Thank you guys see you soon.

Interesting menu, - our meals were well presented and tasted as good as they looked. Decent wine list at realistic prices. Good value overall and recommended as a lunch venue in Carlisle (there is much competition though).
