Indulge in homegrown cuisine at restaurants in Carlisle restaurants
Whether you like carveries, grills, roast dinners or something more contemporary, Carlisle’s restaurants have them all. Local specials boards are loaded with hearty, nostalgic dishes that will set you up nicely for those long hillside walks and exciting tours of the castle dungeons. Think mains of roast lakeland lamb with fragrant crushed potatoes or Cumbrian beef fillet with fiery peppercorn sauce, and a selection of indulgent tarts, pastries and hot puddings for dessert. Local inns and gastropubs also favour several regional specialities. You can't visit Carlisle without trying a ring of Cumberland sausage, characterised by its chunky texture and peppery aroma. Then there's Cumberland sauce, a piquant red currant jelly that goes well with red meat and game. Finally, most Carlisle restaurants are well-stocked with pots of tangy wholegrain honey mustard – a local delicacy you’ll definitely want to get your taste buds on. - 2.
Carlisle restaurants serve food from sunny climes
In the centre of Carlisle, you’ll find restaurants with a Mediterranean theme. If you're planning a fun occasion, you might want to head to a relaxed Greek taverna where you can begin the evening with orektika (appetisers) of fried goat's cheese halloumi, baked feta, ham and cheese filo wraps, and other toothsome nibbles. On top of crowd-pleasing moussaka, kebabs and skewers, you can also expect to encounter the likes of beef stifado with rice, grilled swordfish, and whole squid stuffed with cheese. For pudding, you can treat yourself to sticky baklava or revani (semolina sponge steeped in brandy), or refresh your taste buds with homemade yoghurt served with nuts and berries. In addition, there are pizzerias, Italian trattorias, bistros and other restaurants in Carlisle where you can start your mornings with a breakfast of eggs benedict or French toast and blueberries, then return later in the day for tapas and bar snacks. - 3.
