Cafe Vie The Bistro in Wakefield

The 8 course Indian Tapas Evening exceeded expectations; the food was outstanding as was the service. We’ll definitely be booking again! Thank you to everyone involved 👍

We went to Cafe Vue for the Asian Tapas night and the food, service and ambience were all just perfect. We will certainly go back.

The best tapas experience to date. This is a hidden gem in Ossett, the food, the service and the ambience is fantastic, I would highly recommend. A great touch is the chef mingling and chatting to diners, explaining the menu and the Indian culture.

Absolutely Outstanding! Went for the Indian tapas evening held on Saturday and it was fabulous. Everything was 5 star from start to finish. Staff were so professional, whilst also being incredibly warm and welcoming. The ambience had been well thought out and as a result was just really lovely - relaxing but fun at the same time. Everyone was having an enjoyable time and you could really tell! The food was the best Indian food I have had. It was so good to try dishes I had never heard of. All were delicious. Thank you so much to all at Cafe View the Bistro. You all worked so hard but it paid off.

Indian tapas evening, adults and fussy teenager. The food was great, lovely flavours and dishes were things we hadn’t tasted before. We all really enjoyed the food. Lovely staff

There's nothing bad about this place. The staff, the food, the atmosphere, the premises... the cake 🤩🤩 everything was beyond all expectations. I went with a colleague to handover before heading on mat leave and the staff were beyond amazing... the food was the best I've ever had and they even made me the most amazing smoothy - both me and baby were super happy. Will definately be back!!! My new favorite and will definately get me out of the house more- couldn't have been better if they tried.

What a little gem we found here on our day our wedding dress shopping in Ossett. We stopped in for coffee and ended up staying for lunch. The cafe/ Bistro is fabulous. It is exceptionally clean and modern. The food was amazing but most of all I want to compliment the management on their choice of staff. I have never in all my years of eating out ever come across such polite and attentive staff. They just could not do enough for us. When one of our party of 5 couldn’t finish her meal, the young man waiting on us went out of his way to ensure that her meal had been ok and that she hadn’t eaten it because it was not of a good standard. She reassured him it was because there was too much for her but he again asked was she sure and was it ok. For the high standard of food the prices are very reasonable too. We will definitely be eating there again and will be recommending to all our friends. Well done Cafe Vie for contributing to a fabulous day. And yes!!! She said yes to the dress 😂

This is a lovely place with a great atmosphere, the food is really good and the staff are friendly and helpful. Will defintely return soon.

Having enjoyed a previous Tapas evening, we booked again for Saturday 27th July. The food came from around the world (Jamaica; USA; China; England; India; Mexico), and consisted of 8 tapas dishes which included the best tiramisu we have tasted. Each dish was unique and the blend of spices was exquisite. My wife enjoyed her Raspberry Limoncellos. The service was led by Roman, but as regular day time visitors, all staff at Cafe Vie are friendly and welcoming and all are lovely. Currently Cafe Vie is primarily a day time cafe which provides occasional specialty evenings. We have enjoyed breakfasts and lunches on many occasions and the food is of a consistent high quality with products locally sourced. Many of the people who visit are repeat customers. We would highly recommend Cafe Vie. A big thank you from Anna and Jonathan.

This was our first visit to Cafe Vie and we are already planning our next. Everything was perfect, from the warm and friendly welcome, gorgeous food, excellent service and lovely, stylish decor. Very impressed.

Excellent as always booked for Mother’s Day afternoon tea. Beautifully presented delicious sandwiches and warm savoury treats. Alongside sweet desserts and delicious scones. Staff from booking to on the day always obliging and welcoming.

Came here for the mothers day treat for my partner and my mother. Me and my partner come for breakfast as well as other occasions, and the service and food has always been excellent, and this event was no different. Even my mother, whom it was her first visit to the cafe, commented on how much she enjoyed the day, and wished there was a place near where she lives like Cafe Vie. Brilliant service and brilliant food. Would rate it higher if I could

Another successful outing for breakfast (Sunday all day breakfast). Food delivered promptly for our table of six. All food tasty and of decent portion size. The full English comes with a ramekin of beans, not a thimble, as one reviewer has reported. (Ok I know the reviewer was trying to make a point). Yes you can get full English cheaper elsewhere but it is the quality of food that you are paying for. Will be back again.

Dropped in for breakfast with my niece whilst in the area. Although my order was simple - scrambled eggs bacon Ossett local sausage, It was genuinely exceptional. Quality local sausage, eggs to perfection. My niece had avocado and eggs on muffin and agreed about hers too. Nice surroundings, well decorated, upstairs is lovely with balcony for better weather. 100% go again

Booked for dinner as the Valentine’s menu was excellent. Meal was lovely, food cooked to order and well presented. Staff, decoration and ambience of the Bistro contributed to a very pleasant dining experience.

Thank you so much for your friendly service and fabulous quality food. 2 of us travelled from doncaster 1 of us local. 1st time we have ever been since the change of ownership. Will highly recommend your fabulous bistro.

We visited this cafe for the first time last Sunday 4th February for a breakfast and we sat upstairs as downstairs it was quite cramped and noisy. We received our drinks in relatively quick time from ordering however our breakfast took 35 minutes to be brought to our table. When it did arrive the food was barely warm, no steam coming off it and the one slice of toast each was hard. I’ve got to be honest, it was completely overpriced. At £11.95 which didn’t include a drink, a latte was £3.25 on top, you got one sausage, one small round hash brown, one small black pudding, 2 bacon, 2 small poached eggs, one half a tomato and a small thimble of baked beans. This included one slice of toast. £15.20 for a small breakfast and coffee is extortionate, I never expected to pay over £30 for 2 breakfasts and 2 coffees in all honesty. Yes we could have left when we saw the prices and I do wish we had, especially after also waiting over half an hour for a cold breakfast. When the waiter cleared our plates he asked if we’d enjoyed the breakfast and we both said honestly no we didn’t and we wouldn’t return either. The waiter asked why and we explained the very long wait, the food was barely warm and it was massively overpriced. As a gesture he did remove the cost of one breakfast which was much appreciated, which we never asked him to do or asked him for anything. I wouldn’t return to this cafe again unfortunately based on this experience.

We chose the Indian Thali evening inspired by India’s Royal heritage. A tray of fragrant and spicy food. A great choice from soup to main courses to dessert. Plenty of different dishes

Brunch was good..I am a regular visitor here and always enjoy wether it be brekky brunch or lunch..or just call in for coffee. The xmas dinner evening menu back in December was the best..excellent food

It’s really refreshing to go to a place with a French twist with the menu, I had the croque Madame it was unbelievably tasty, the coffee was great and the staff very friendly and I was never waiting to order anything. This place is a must try!.

This cafe bistro serves wonderful food, made by experienced chefs. The staff here are so friendly and professional, they make a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble. We went for the monthly authentic Indian meal from a different region each time. This books up very quickly due to the high quality.

I’ve been here a number of times with friends and family and always had a lovely experience. The staff are thoughtful, attentive and always go the extra mile. The coffee and food are exceptional. You can tell a lot of time and effort has gone into making this place special

Enjoyed a couple of visits in December, the Thali New Year eve food was amazing! Fabulous and attentive staff.

What a great way to celebrate New Years Eve, we had a welcome drink on arrival, our Indian Thalia meal was delicious every course was so tasty and so authentic. The care & attention to detail is second to none & the staff are lovely and friendly

Absolutely amazing food and service. Family of 6 for the Thali new years evening which is the best we have had. The chefs are supremely talented. It’s a hidden gem this place. Tried the gin blooms and passion fruit lemonade. Great to see local drinks on the menu too.

Excellent service, excellent quality food. Atmosphere was great. Due to one of the party being disabled asked for a table downstairs, this was provided. Staff were attentive without being overbearing.

What a lovely transformation in the evening, great food prepared with passion and care, bottle of wine was stunning and staff attentive without being obtrusive. I had the mushrooms gratin which were cooked with cream and too perfection, full of flavour without loosing the perfect...

Fabulous festive menu. The food here is always delicious and never disappoints, great service to top it off too. Would highly recommend a visit and we will definitely be back throughout next year!

Went for Christmas festive evening meal. Food was excellent, service polite and efficient. A thoroughly good evening.

Went for Christmas Dinner and the food was amazing. Price was really good also for the quality of the food we had. I will definitely go back again

Attracted by the lunch menu to book a table and wasn’t disappointed. Food was tasty, lovely staff and atmosphere. Already planning when I can go again.

Just enjoyed a wonderful Christmas meal with friends. A brilliant evening with excellent food, attentive and friendly staff. Would certainly recommend to others.

Excellent service, but your alcohol drinks are a little bit higher than expected. £9.+ for a g & t is rather steep, it nearly knocked one of the group off her seat ...

Went for a christmas meal the food was fabulous as always and the staff were friendly and attentive . It’s going to be our regular venue for our Christmas get together !

This is our go-to cafe food, which has always been delicious coupled with a great service. I would highly recommend a visit .The Christmas afternoon tea was well presented, and a joy to eat will definitely be back again next year for a seasonal treat...

Xmas evening dinner menu last night was absolutely delicious . Could not fault it at all..nice atmosphere..and baileys creme brulle was the best.

Superb food and a huge choice, beautiful coffee and attentive staff. Don't be in a rush relax and enjoy.

We were really looking forward to tasting the Kerala cuisine and were delighted with the variety and choices. Chef Michael created a perfect range of dishes. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for a wonderful evening 💐🙏

Lovely food. Thali is a different experience , food was authentic Value for money and great service. Would definitely recommend

We had a delightful introduction to Keralan cuisine with an amazing arrangement of tasty, exciting dishes from the southern Indian region. As ever the service was excellent by the friendly, attentive staff. One to definitely repeat.

Thali night was awesome. The food, the flavours were amazing. Really enjoyed it. Well done Cafe Vie.

I have just been to Keralan Thali evening here at cafe vie . Wow . Firstly the staff were amazing very well organised and a very relaxed atmosphere. The food was totally different. Made up of a number of small dishes . Each one was...

If you’d have taken more time to explain the different dishes that would have improved the experience considerably. We were told the order to eat the meal but no details..I think that’s a trick missed

Fabulous food, lovely surroundings and staff very helpful as always . A regular of ours now Thankyou

Writing this on behalf of my father. He as just been to Cafe Vie for his breakfast and thought it was beautiful but also thought when you are paying £11.95 a warm drink should be included and may be a reduction for pensioners

Amazing I had the Chicken Salad was amazing so fresh and the chicken was cooked to perfection will be back soon

We visit regularly for breakfast and occasionally for lunch, with our little dog Milo. I can honestly say we’ve never been disappointed by anything we’ve ordered. The menus are varied, the service is friendly and thoughtful, and they give Milo a biscuit or three!

Excellent Service, the food was delicious as always. Lots of choice on the menu, the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend a visit.
