Piedaniel's in Derbyshire Dales

Good solid food but we expected a little better. Recommended for good food, but the vibe is more of a upmarket cafe than a restaurant. Simple things like pine tables with no cloths, and food served on a glass plate doesn’t really show off the food to its best.

Great experience, lovely staff, excellent food and wine.

Fabulous food. Never been disappointed there. Closed Monday and Tuesday. Pleasant and friendly staff, good service.

Fabulous place to dine. Very friendly and attentive staff. All of the dishes we had were cooked to perfection with stunning presentation. Also well priced for the quality. Will definitely be visiting Piedaniel's again in the future.

Went here tonight for my birthday treat, and was not disappointed at all. The staff were more than welcoming, really warm and friendly, with brilliant service and personality. The food, well, it was everything I'd hoped for and then some. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and sitting on a melt in the mouth potato pancake, surrounded by a delightful dill sauce. The steak was cooked exactly how I like it, and the chips were perfectly crisp, while the green peppercorn sauce had the perfect amount of bite to it. The vegetables that were served alongside had also been treated with care and attention, and not just as an afterthought as in other places. If I hadn't had my eye on a special dessert, then more of the veg would have been eaten, but I was running out of space. Then my favourite dessert ever, and something I had as a kid every birthday, made by my Mum..... The crêpe suzette! Yum. Just yum! If I'd been home, I'd have licked the plate clean it was so good. There was a small issue with the temperature of the meat for someone else, but it was handled with grace and professionalism by staff who fixed it without blinking; and very quickly a new one was sent out that was perfect. Couldn't have been handled better. If I'm ever down this way again, I'll try and get back for another meal. This is not to be missed if you're in the area, you honestly won't be disappointed so get yourself booked!

We booked as part of our anniversary weekend and all I can say is it was excellent, the food was amazing with a relaxed atmosphere, with outstanding service and staff we highly recommend this place, and I don't mind saying the chocolate mousse made me all emotional, I've never tasted anything like it 😀 Thank you.

Given the positive reviews and prices, I had high hopes for our meal at Piedaniel's. The service was good and the restaurant has a nice vibe. However the food was just ok at best.

A lovely meal and excellent service in Saturday

We were served by a young lady and the owner Christiana,the service was excellent,we chatted to Christiana as we have been before. The food was unbelievable,the service was excellent. We are definitely going to visit Pie Daniels again

Food was very good and the staff were attentive.

First time here. Food very good and the staff excellent. The only reason for not giving a 5 star rating is because we were sat at a table near to a door which was used regularly creating a draught.

Lovely restaurant, good menu and well presented meals. Friendly front of service

Absolutely amazing, the food was delicious, perfect portions and beautifully presented. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Lovely spot definitely would recommend it 😊

We are not from the area but my partner took me here to celebrate my birthday. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. From the minute we walked in, we were greeted with amazing smiles and good energy from the staff. The place was absolutely beautiful!! The service was amazing and the attention to detail was immaculate, the staff were just amazing. The food!! Omg the food, from starters all the way to the desserts was just unbelievable. The quality of food was so good, I couldn’t believe it. My partner and I were very very impressed. We had an amazing night and will be definitely returning here in the future. It an experience anyone should experience to truly understand the high level of service and food they provide. They also had an amazing selection of wine, we were spoilt for choice. I 100% recommend this place.

Saturday lunchtime. The restaurant was quiet, so it was difficult to judge the atmosphere when it is busy, but I would say it was perfect for us. Four of us each had a three-course meal. The food was beautifully presented (especially the desserts), and everything was very tasty. I had the soufflé, the steak, and finally the crêpe Suzette, which were all excellent. We had a fantastic and relaxing lunch and left feeling very contented. Service was friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely restaurant, with fabulous food and service. Definitely recommend!

Wow what can I say....Simply perfect, brilliant service and amazing food. I genuinely cannot fault this restaurant all 3 courses surpassed all our expectations. 4 of us went and we all had the same opinion....amazing. We will return even though it's over 200mls away. I just wished I lived closer. Thanks so much and keep up the amazing work it really shows that you care.

We went on Valentine's Day. They had a set menu, which was delicious. The fillet steak and the pomme ana, in particular, was excellent. Beautifully cooked. The service was also very good. A very enjoyable experience all round.

So pleased we went to Piedaniel's. From the minute we were met at the door to when we walked out the service was excellent! The food was amazing and well-portioned, we were able to eat a 3 coarse meal and not think we had overdone it. A well-drilled team serving top-notch food. What more could you want!

Beautiful food, wonderful service, fantastic place. Thank you

Went recently for first time...will definitely be back ! 5 stars all round and prices are reasonable for this quality of food. Thank you !

How a restaurant should be, from start to finish an excellent experience. Beautiful food and really attentive service. Second visit and just a shame I live in London as too far away to be a regular here.

Lovely meal, friendly staff, good value for money

Fabulous food, fabulous service and atmosphere. Christiana the co owner is delightful and remembers us from year to year. We'll be back!

Perfect atmosphere, not too busy or loud and staff were very attentive and excellent service. Food all delicious and such reasonable pricing. A must if you’re on holiday in Bakewell and want some luxury dining.

Fantastic family run business. Been many times over the years and never been disappointed. Excellent value for money, delicious menu, beautifully presented and in a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Good food, came for a birthday treat. Quite formal, my only quibble is the seating for 2 were very close, so felt like you were looking closely at someone's dinner. All friendly though, so not too awkward.

A really lovely meal and very pleasant staff.

We love Piedaniels and it is the place we go for special occasions. The food is always delicious; the staff are friendly and attentive, & the ambiance is warm and relaxing. Would highly recommend it.

little gem , well worth a visit.

Excellent first visit to the restaurant. The greeting and the servers were very helpful. The food was prepared perfectly. The evening could not have gone any better.

Lovely atmosphere and service... really tasty food, but I eat very little salt so I found it a tart salty. Loved the sauces with the dishes 👌. Prices reasonable as well. Will definitely visit again when next in this area. Parking easy and cheap...£1 for all the night!

Really great food, highlight was the asparagus soup, lobster ravioli and the lamb Wellington. Slightly older clientele though

Fantastic food. Wine good value. Service very good. Cannot recommend enough if you are in the area.

I can honestly say that was one of the best meals i've ever had. Food was outstanding and the resturant was superb with amazing service. A thoroughly enjoyable experience..and the bread is incredible

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary in Bakewell and were delighted to enjoy an evening at this very friendly restaurant. The food was excellent.

We were recommended Piedaniels and were not disappointed the gin list is larger than the menu but it was full of winners. We did order and were brought some complimentary home cooked bread which was incredible. We didn't order starters, but my wife had Steak, whilst I went for the Belly Pork both were very good and you did know you had eaten when finished. I did plump for a cheese board whilst my wife was too full to eat more. Will go back staff were friendly, food was amazing, place was clean what more can you ask?

Excellent dinner in a very lovely, calm atmosphere. The staff were all incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. The food tasted delicious and they have a great gin selection. Good value for the quality too! Would definitely recommend!

Consistently good little restaurant with great service and ambience.

Celebrated our anniversary there on the 14th December.warmly greeted on entry and shown to our table which was nicely presented.Drinks order was taken,nothing was rushed and we were left to enjoy the ambience.The food was wonderful and freshly cooked.I really wanted my main course of lamb cutlets to go on forever.Yummy.The waitresses were attentive but not intrusive.All in all a very enjoyable experience,unfortunately we were only visiting Bakewell..........drat!!If only we were local.

Our favourite place to eat for a special occasion - wonderful food and outstanding friendly service

Great food with excellent friendly service . Well worth a visit if your in Bakewell .

The food,service quality and presentation was outstanding. Struggled to see a wine that could be classed as medium. Probably me being fussy. Happily return. Returned this week. Not dissapointed. Fantastic meal yet again.

Nice atmosphere.Staff attentive and friendly.Very nice meal. My Husband had pheasant must be the best he has ever tasted. Would highly recommend.I had rack of lamb again very nice. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

We had a wonderful lunch, the food was excellent in a cosy atmosphere

We were a party of 10 and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The service was great and all the staff were friendly. Will definitely go back again when in Bakewell

We did a walk-in yesterday which they were able to accommodate after an hour. Dinner was excellent. They gave us a tasty focaccia bread while we waited for the boullabaise and pork. The soup was excellent and light with big chunks of fish. We split up a crepe Suzette for dessert which was lit at the table, it was delicious, the flavour of orange was crisp yet balanced. Had a great dinner here. Would definitely recommend if you're in Bakewell.

Favourite restaurant for five years now. Best food, best service, best people. Nice dining room, nice ambience. Can't fault it.

Had a wonderful meal the crab soufflé was light and lovely and the Cornish Sole which was a first was beautiful. Thank you.

Went on Tuesday for lunch , what wonderful food , especially the twice baked crab souffle, that was excellent. The waitress was was friendly yet professional and couldn't be more helpful. Thank you all

Called here for Lunch yesterday, we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent service, ambience and very tasty food. No hesitation in highly recommending this Restaurant to family and friends.

All brilliant!!! A must visit. Visited February

Fantastic food, helpful and friendly staff, great gluten free options this is a must go place in Bakewell

The food was absolutely stunning I had the crab soufflé and the rack of lamb and its one of the best meals I've ever had, the service was excellent and very prompt and professional, I will definitely return.

Great meal, really lovely people, looking forward to going again.

Exquisite food and fab service in a lovely atmosphere. You really can't ask for anything more. Piedaniel's has it all

One of my favourite places I've eaten to date. This was our final meal of our Mini honeymoon. It did not disappoint in the slightest. Not only was the food good but the service was another level of excellence. Thank you so much for making it a special night for us. Will definitely return one day!

Four of us dined here on Thursday, food was lovely with good sized portions. I had prawn souffle followed by lamb shank, both were delicious. Nice friendly atmosphere and great staff.

We had a wonderful meal here. All 3 courses were delicious and the portion sizes were generous. The staff were attentive and friendly. It has a lovely ambience too, heartily recommend eating here.

Really good place. Food is exceptional. Lovely couple running the restaurant. Wines very good. Price point good, considering the high quality. Absolutely recommended. We will definitely eat here again.

Amazing food a good selection of wines and friendly staff highly recommended

First visit to Piedaniel's last night. Absolutely fabulous! Lovely restaurant environment, staff were polite, friendly, attentive but not overbearing. Food and service was exceptional throughout, I cannot fault it! We will definitely be going back!

We have just visited for my wife's Birthday. The menu choice was excellent & consisted of authentic French cuisine. The service was attentive by very friendly staff. Our choices of food were all well prepared with fresh produce & cooked to perfection. Thank you to all the staff of this family run restaurant for the hospitality. We will certainly return.

Absolutely fantastic food and wonderful service!

Seriously good. No blobs and purees, just first class ingredients treated well. Five stars aren't enough. Eat there, thank me later.

Made our two night stay in Blakewell just right

Great place and food will definitely be back

Taken by my family for my birthday. Absolutely superb. Interesting menu. All dishes beautifully presented, top drawer cooking. Good wine list, reasonably priced. Service attentive without being intrusive. Nice ambience. If we visit the Bakewell area again we would love to eat there again. Thank you for your hospitality.

Super restaurant with an eclectic menu. Great food expertly cooked with generous portions, served by a small team of attentive waiting staff. On a Thursday night Piedaniel's was busy so I would advise booking a table. Go there you won't be disappointed

Excellent food and service. Loved it.

Staff go above and beyond. Food is exquisite. Exceptionally clean. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys fine tasty food cooked exactly how it's supposed to be. The best restaurant in bakewell by far.

First class food with a lovely ambiance staff very attentive and warming, definitely will return. Thank you for a lovely evening. Lynne and Paul.

Blown away by the superb food and friendly hard working stafg

What a devine experience with food of the highest order. The homemade vanills custard so delicious my wife ate it from the jug.

Absolutely loved it! Must try restaurant!

Excellent food and excellent friendly service. Would recommend a visit.

Amazing food, friendly staff, highly recommended

Good lunch with excellent service in this beautiful Peak District town.

We went to Piedaniels restaurant for my mother's belated 80th birthday and the food was exceptional. I ordered the fillet steak as my main course and it was cooked to perfection and was the best fillet steak I have had! All the food was superb. The staff were very professional and helpful and knowledgeable in regards to the menu. The wines also were excellent with a good choice. Even though we were on holiday and from Leicester I am looking forward to coming back soon!.

Fantastic restaurant - great staff, great menu, great ambience and amazing food! Thanks for a great evening.

Excellent staff - friendly and knowledgeable - and fantastic food. Very high quality.

Lovely restaurant & decor. Fabulous food & service . We went lunchtime & just gorgeous so much to choose from an extensive menu & beautifully presented. Great for a "treat". Would recommend & full so thats a great sign to. Top marks x

Every bite of each course was outstanding. We now have to return to the Peak District from London purely so we can experience the delicious cuisine Piedaniel’s has to offer. The crab soufflé was ridiculously tasty and I strongly recommend it if you have the pleasure of dining here.

What an amazing find, the service was wonderful and the food exceptional. Highly recommended as is saving a little space for dessert - what a treat!!

Our first time at Piedaniel's in Bakewell last night, we wanted something special and we were not disappointed !! Firstly the staff were lovely, welcoming and friendly ! The restaurant was delightful, simply laid out and tastefully decorated, but the food !!!! The food was stunning in every respect, authentic French cuisine at its best accompanied by a beautiful bottle of red ! Over all it was a superb experience that will definitely be repeated, Bravo Piedaniel's et tres bien !!!

Fabulous food. Excellent choice for someone who wants to eat gluten free. Friendly and welcoming, we keep going back.

Had a fantastic meal, Always love coming here, food is just super well worth it.

A hidden gem in Bakewell. We experienced an outstanding lunch at this delightful restaurant with its chic decor and charming small garden. The food was superb and beautifully presented. The service was friendly and attentive. We will certainly return there.

Great restaurant. Lovely, unpretentious family run place with such friendly staff. If you're in the area, then don't miss out. Thanks for such a relaxed enjoyable evening!

Just can't understand the brilliant reviews for this place. Starters were good, however not great. As for the mains.. the sirloin steak was very average, chips were simply oven chips deep fried in old oil (come on can't you peel a potato?) Veg just wasn't restaurant standard. Overall a very substandard dinner service.

Really lovely food and a great environment. (Personally feel that it would be enhanced by adding a few South African wines to the list, but still really good.) Excellent value for money.

Relaxed, friendly, personal and comfortable with very good food. We love it.

If you love 'doing lunch', go no further. Spot on in every aspect.

Food was amazing, all staff really friendly. A lovely place to eat

Good food but rather a time warp

Delicious food. Gentle attentive service. Lovely restaurant. Beautiful presentation. Sensible portions. Good value. Sublime.

Great food and service. We had a truly lovely evening here whilst we were visiting the peak district. I would characterise the food as deceptively simple but done very well. For starters we had crab souffle and and black pudding. Both were good but the crab was the best. I had the cod which was cooked to perfection, my partner had the chicken. We both shared a crepe Suzette which tasted great and was a nice show when it's set on fire. Service was attentive and friendly. Beats many places we have been to in London.

Some really great, elegant dishes (salmon ceviche, fillet steak, Panna cotta) but a few a bit less sophisticated (deep fried brie, cod - still good though). Reasonable price and good wine list.

Just eaten in this lovely welcoming restaurant. The food was excellent the crab souffle to die for. Everything was perfect. The staff couldn't do enough for you. I absolutely recommend.

Four of us went yesterday absolutely BRILL food very friendly staff.The double cooked crab soufflé melted on your mouth the black pudding & fish tart starters was loverly then chicken stuffed with garlic served on spring onion risotto, cod & mussels served on saffron sauce and lamb fillet all served with fresh veg. What a hidden gem was out first time but will not be our last, WELL WORTH THE MONEY. Here’s to our next visit WELL done the owners❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️
