Le Bistrot Pierre in Harrogate

Taverna offers authentic Greek flavors with standout dishes, warm ambience and friendly service.

Great food, excellent service. Stuck for choice with a menu that caters impeccably for both carnivores and vegetarians. Well priced starters and mains and attentive service....I'm getting accustomed to asking for the bill and waiting 10 minutes but Taverna were en pointe. Would definitely return and bring family.

Really good meal and lovely people a family atmosphere amongst the staff and the place just buzzed pleasantly. Finest Baclav this side of the Mediterranean left with a smile on our faces which is no better compliment

Nice greeting on arrival and when shown to our table by our waiter. Comfortable surroundings and excellent menu selection. We opted for the meat mezze, which started with Greek salad, dips, and pitta, followed by meat appetisers and then the main course of chicken and lamb kebabs with rice and salad - absolutely outstanding. All served with a very nice Greek white Assyrtiko wine. Highly recommend.

It was my first time at Taverna the staff were friendly. We were greeted on entering and leaving.

All staff absolutely amazing would highly recommend, food very nice 😊

Fantastic restaurant. 10 of us dined here and the service was amazing even though the restaurant was busy, we didn't have a long wait. When the food arrived it was very tasty and authentic. One of the best greek meals I've eaten outside of Greece. The staff were attentive and made sure we were happy with our orders. Nothing was a problem and would highly recommend a visit. We'll definitely be back when we next visit Harrogate.

Excellent service and food ...we were late and in a rush for the theatre but the staff were calm and efficient. Highly recommended!

A real piece of Greece in Yorkshire, especially Crete 😉. Very good food and wine, traditional flavours and high standard of presentation. The only thing missing was the Raki 😉. Bravo, nostimo!! Xx

Amazing food, fantastic service, excellent value for money. A true gem.

Excellent food…Greek wine advised to try was superb…best I’ve ever had…food so authentic…will be back when we next visit…

Brilliant atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious food

Absolutely gorgeous meal. Highly recommend and will return the next time we're in Harrogate

Visited last night for a birthday tea. We was not disappointed at all. We enjoyed a sharing meze for two and it was absolutely delicious. Really Reminded us of our Greek Holidays 🤗 The service was fab and the restaurant had a great feeling and atmosphere. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great little restaurant, the chef and staff went above and beyond dealing with our party of 46 whilst keeping the rest of the restaurant running. Great food and service

Really enjoyed my meal here, starters of pita brad with dips & garlic Mushrooms was delicious! Main meal was mixed grill which was delicious. Followed by tia Maria coffees. Highly recommend it here, also let us bring in are dog. Thanks!

We visited here recently on a Saturday night and was quite disappointed with the experience we had, we was greeted by a waiter (possibly manager) who didn't have a smile in him, who showed us to our table, by putting a couple of menus down and walking away. We chose to have a sharing platter starter as well as a sharing main course, the starter was little more than a bought in deep fried selection of items, on a wilted salad. The main course, the mixed grill for 2, although tasted nice enough, was a little underwhelming for the price paid. With 2 drinks our bill came to £95, for what was a very average meal. It wasn't all bad, the waitresses seemed to be doing their job a little better than our waiter, and the elderly gent bringing food out, shouting at other members of staff to see if he was at the right table was a little comical, but needless to say, with the overall experience we had, it is unlikely that we would return.

Went here for an authentic Greek meal, I always thought moussaka was with lamb mince, but it's done with beef mince here, and I'm not sure if it worked for me. It was very quiet when we went, and the service was just standard. I'm afraid, not a great selection of drinks, and I had to ask for ice with a glass of wine 3 times. It's in a great location, though. Oh, and it's expensive for the standard of meals served.

The gyros, to die for! Def stop here if you're after a Greek-food fix!

Great service - very kind and happy to help Good food - variety and taste is great Overall nice experience though a little on the expensive side

Me and my friends had a lovely lunch here. I totally recommend at everyone

Had a really pleasant meal here. The cold mezee to start was very good value with lots of food, which would easily work as a four person appetizer. The tzatziki in particular was delicious, best I've ever had. Lamb koftas, calamari and lamb souvlaki all also delicious. On top of the excellent food, the service was quick and very friendly, with our waiter packaging up all our leftovers for us to take home. Would absolutely come back here.

Mixed grill for one was delicious, wife had the mixed souvlaki which she loved. Fast service and really friendly too. The restaurant really has the greek atmosphere, it made us feel like we were on holiday with a cold wine and a bottle of mythos. Will definitely be coming back again.

Absol fab if you are a foodie. Got a main dish for two, camecwith starters, salad cold hot starter then a meat feast main. I can eat a lot, but I had to take away. Couldn't waste any of that food, pork lamb and chicken skewers fab.

Superb food and service at Taverna last night. I had chicken souvlaki. The meat was tender and juicy and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. Authentic Greek music was playing and the atmosphere felt so good. Thank you for such a great night

Came here for a couples lunch. It was quiet at the time. Service quick and polite and the food was the best greek I've ever had, including from Greece! Amazing and will def go back.

The starters were lovely and the atmosphere was really good. The main was very dry and lacked flavour.

We had a very good meal at Taverna. Warm welcome on arrival and taken to our table right away. We shared a Feta Me Mel - warm feta wrapped in filo and drizzled with honey - nicely presented and tasted really good. Mains of lamb kleftico and chicken sauté. The kleftico - perfectly cooked, falling off the bone lamb with lovely slow cooked veg and flavoursome gravy - excellent. The sauté very nicely cooked chicken in a rich tomato sauce with great flavour. Very generous portion sizes would definitely visit again.

Very Very nice Greek Restaurant in Harrogate, called to book a table at very short notice and accommodated my wife and I. Excellent service all round 👍👍👍

Came here with the family, and we all absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the restaurant was lovely. Our meal was so nice that my youngest asked if we could move to Greece. That only downside was the cost. With a drink each and a bottle of wine, we spent just over £180. Still, even with that said, we would return... Once the piggy bank has refilled.

A first-time visit to Yorkshire. The thought when going anywhere is: What are you going to eat? I passed by Taverna on my exploration of the city. Greek/Mediterranean food: I ordered a mixed grill, and it was one of the best mixed grills I've ever tasted. The meat was soft, slightly chewy but overall the chargrilled taste was delightful. The rice had a season taste to it and the salad was dressed to perfection. I would definitely recommend and visit again.

The food was so delicious!! The mixed souvlaki was so tender, and flavoursome. Don't leave without trying the portokalopita. The waitress was so attentive and she looked after us during the whole meal.

Highly recommended good drinks and service what more do you need

What a terrific restaurant. Beautiful fresh food. Excellent service, really helpful regarding food allergy queries.

Staying in harrogate for a few days was passing this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Food and service all very good and reasonably priced.

My wife and I ate at The Taverna 5 days ago, just walking past and got a booking the same night, the owner was very sociable and helpful. On arrival we were greeted by him. the restaurant is immaculate and the ambiance great. Our wine was ordered promptly and was good. The menu was all Greek and a great variety. Considering how busy it was the food came quickly and was SUPERB, starter and main course. The waiting staff were attentive but not in your face (Sociable). On paying our bill we were given a large OUZO each a great touch. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody visiting Harrogate. Thankyou Geoff. and Terri fron Sheffield.

Was looking at the menu outside when an American lady came out and said food and service were wonderful so we went in. I ordered a Greek salad and a lamb shoulder dish. One waiter was reluctant to give me olive oil as he said there was oil on the salad already. The slow roast shoulder turned out to be a lamb shank. Both were fine to eat but not quite as the American had suggested

Amazing food, very professional and friendly staff. Highly recommend 👌

Absolutely amazing! The bartender, Ella, made some great cocktails, the food was great, excellent service, Berti the waiter was so professional in his service. Berti was very friendly , with a positive mood and a contagious smile! The atmosphere was calm, with some upbeat music in the back, lovely decorations. We spent an excellent Saturday night at Harrogate, absolutely perfect service! Recommend to everyone, had a really pleasant evening!

Great meal again for adults and kids. Food was delicious with attentive and speedy service. Will visit again next time we're in town.

Great food , very friendly service

The food was lovely and tasted so fresh. Good vegan options, most of the vegetarian menu can be adapted to vegan. The service though was the highlight. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and very attentive. They all seem genuinely passionate about the food! The only teeny tiny downside was that the music was perhaps a little loud for me if trying to chat to the rest of your table. But that’s just me. Definitely would put me off going back

Excellent meal, served promptly, right amount, friendly staff.

Having a lovely lunch at Taverna, sun is shining, food is fabulous. Can’t beat it.

Taramasolata yummy Pastitsio was delicious Cheesecake baklava really unusual but very tasty

Great food and drinks and service and greek music ( ha you thought they would play mexican)

We ate here last Monday night and had one of the best meals we've eaten outside Greece. The food was delicious, authentic and the service was excellent. The ambience in the restaurant was spot on too. We'll be back. Thank you 😊

Very good, warm welcome on a quiet Sunday evening, great service, great food, very nice staff. All good, would recommend it.

Away for a short break. Love Greece and Greek food. We weren't disappointed. Lovely food and drinks. Very welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Will definitely go back next time we visit Harrogate x

Amazing food and really good service, the only downside was how close some of the tables were. Would definitely recommend!!

Fantastic service and a lovely meal

Teacher conference in Harrogate so tried here. What a find...superb food, great atmosphere and service second to none. Fab

Good food and wide variety of dishes in the vegetarian meze. However somewhat expensive and prices have recently increased. Some menus show old prices still.

The food was satisfactory. Small portions for the price we pay. The service was exceptional and professional. It was annoying that the radio played instead of only Greek music.

Welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and absolutely amazing food. We will be back

Unexpectedly Greek in the middle of Yorkshire, but very good.

This restaurant was AMAZING! THE best Greek food. We had the best service too! Highly recommend!

I enjoyed the swordfish steak with prawns here. The staff was nice.

Visited the Taverna for the first time on Friday evening. It was really busy, always a good sign, and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the service second to none - attentive but not intrusive. The staff were friendly and fun, a lively atmosphere and a great evening.

Excellent menu, food and service. A great place to go!

Great food, reasonable prices and nice venue

I have been to this place two times now and have enjoyed my experience here food was great service was great I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try a Geek experience lots of fantastic choices of food.

Lovely food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. What more do you need?

Nice place, delicious food, good service! Recommend this place!

Had an enjoyable lunch here today. Ordered the souvlaki wrap & baklava dessert, both were delicious! Will go again.

Just brilliant - you won't be disappointed 👏

I spend a lot of time in Greece so I know what is authentic food and what isn't. This absolutely is! Great place, will definitely come back next time I'm in town. Wonderful 👍👍

Great Taverna,we had the meat mezi and a bottle of rioja they were both excellent.Great friendly efficient service.

Fantastic food and even better service. Amazing team of friendly and helpful staff. Very much enjoyed the moussaka and mezzo starters.

Lovely food and great service. If you have the chance definitely go.

Went here.on new years eve, Service was great, the food was lovely and the price was good too. Would say its worth a visit if your in Harrogate

Lovely evening, brilliant service, authentic food. Very enjoyable.

My wife and I called in on spec Saturday evening 13th January 24, while on a weekend visit to Harrogate, although the restaurant was busy we were welcomed warmly and seated very quickly. We had Tzatziki between us to start, my wife had the Greek sea bass and I had the chicken Gyros for mains. Both meals were excellent and ample portions. Service was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. We travelled up from Derby for the weekend, but I'm confident that if we lived more local to Harrogate we would be regular visitors to the Taverna.

Absolutely fantastic, the pork souvlaki melted in your mouth. Incredible. Staff fabulous. Food fabulous. Thanks Taverna! What a lovely meal.

This is a beautiful restaurant, the owner and staff were very friendly, the food was great couldn't fault it will definitely be back thankyou😊

Came here New Years Eve after reading great reviews, fairly busy but we were seated straight away. The food was basic and I thought it was over priced, my partner had halloumi sticks, chips and salad and I had the Gyros. For nearly £20 each dish plus drinks etc very expensive. Sadly wouldn't eat here again.

First time we've been for new year. Couldn't fault this place. Everything was spot on. Definitely be going back

Great afternoon in this cosy place. Lovely friendly welcome by the young chap. Drinks came quickly. Food amazing. I ordered the Chicken Slouvaki and my wife ordered the Chicken Gyro from the lunch menu. Why do you always wish you ordered what your partner ordered? I was still hungry so dessert ordered too. We had red wine to finish so it would be rude not to. Baklava arrived and my Orange Pie. Both amazing! Thank you! We'll be back. Maybe even tomorrow as staying over for two nights!

Excellent food and service and choice and food sensitivity catered to individual with empathy. Thank you. Pomegranate salad was a work of art.

Nice food, warm welcome but with hit and miss service, nice venue. Bordering on the expensive side though.

Food and service was excellent, will definitely be back.

Great food, and the staff and location are great.

We had the Fish Mezze sharing platter this evening. It was truly amazing & excellent value for money. Unfortunately couldn't quite finish it & no room for dessert!

Delicious food, pleasant decor, good service. Fair price What's not to like......?

The service was excellent, the staff are very helpful and the food was superb.

Absolutely beautiful food service and atmosphere, definitely would eat here again!

Amazing/Delicious food, top tier service and an authentic greek meze to die for. Great value for money. We ordered more food then they recommended and didn't regret a thing. Get yourself a table here.

On a cold and wet December Monday we ventured into The Taverna. We were greeted by a friendly and helpful host and that was just the beginning......it has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and an extensive menu......the beef moussaka was the best I have ever eaten. We would be delighted to return here if we are in the area or you could always open a restaurant near us in Oxfordshire 😁

Partners meal was more like a soup than a stew. I had the garlic mushrooms to start, needed more mushrooms and a pitta bread

Wonderful staff. Very attentive. Food was presented good and tasted awesome. The flavor combination was great. Will definitely return.

A must visit. Fabulous place. I was in Harrogate for a couple of days for a work event with some colleagues from Denmark. We had the best time at the Taverna. The food was exceptional, as was the service. The team running it were an absolute delight. One of the best meals and service experiences I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back next time we’re in town.

My first experience of a Greek restaurant. Wonderful food, great service and atmosphere. I look forward to returning on another occasion.

I had a party of 16 on a very busy Saturday night and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The food is 1st class, the the meal was unhurried and we wished we had room for dessert.

What a wonderful special place , the ambiance is amazing and the food just delicious , will be back to experience again . Thank you for your teams hard work with a big party.

Just had a meal I had salmon Husband seabass Absolutely delicious Complements to the chefs Service was spot on to Very welcoming Could not fault this place Excellent You don't get to say this often If you have not tried this place You must We go here every time we visit Harrogate 10/10 👌
