• Café • Keswick

OUR STORYBagheera was born from a love of two places that feel very much like home – the mountains and lakes of South India and the fells and lakes of Cumbria.For years, we have welcomed locals and visitors to Keswick through their restaurants, sharing their passion for good food, warm hospitality and memorable experiences. With Bagheera, we wanted to create something different – a place where the vibrant flavours of South India meet the relaxed charm of the Lake District.Our breakfast menu is inspired by the cafés, homes and street food stalls of South India and Keswick . Every recipe has been thoughtfully adapted for Keswick, using quality local ingredients and aromatic South Indian spices that are rich in flavour, not heat.Whether you're setting off for a day on the fells, exploring the town, or simply enjoying a leisurely brunch with friends, we hope you'll discover something new and delicious.From our family to yours, welcome to Bagheera.George & Meera

Great restaurant - food was super delicious & good service too. Slightly on the pricey side but I don’t mind paying higher end prices when the food & service are excellent.

Great food experience, I had the fish thali and every single dish tasted different and added to the experience. My son had the big thali and his lamb dish was really delicious too. Great selection of soft drinks and cocktails too - how refreshing for me as the designated driver! We'll definitely come back.
