The Harrogate Diner in Harrogate

Has been closed for a few months now and I recently read on their FB page that they are not reopening. A pity as it was a decent local place with very good food.

Arrived and seated fast. Home cooked tasty food, very full afterwards even though all the sweets looked amazing. Lots of specials available too

Was staying locally and popped in on a Sunday morning for breakfast. The graffiti/street art exterior belies the fact this is a calm, peaceful local cafe. Crepes and waffles seem to be their thing but my avocado brunch was superb.

Stopped at the tearoom for lunch during a visit to Ripon. My wife had the savoury cream tea. It was the best scone she has ever had, delicious. I had the ham and cheese toastie. This was also delicious, better than any offering I've made myself. Definitely worth a visit.

We went to Efe’s for a late supper (around 9pm) on a Saturday night after a long day of travel. There were four of us and all the tables were filled. The food was delicious. We had Efes Special Mixed Grill and the Haloumi starter. We loved it. The food was served hot and seasoned to perfection. For wine, we had the house red and it tasted great as well. We liked Efes so much that we decided to book a table for the next night as well. If you’re in Harrogate, don’t skip Efes Bar and Grill! Best to make a reservation though as we were just lucky to get in.
