The best restaurants in Ilkley Bradford Yorkshire and The Humber

What a great find! Wanting a brew and a sandwich on our way home from a weekend in Thirsk, we found La Stazione. On a lovely Sunday, this place was buzzing. The food and coffees were lovely, but the staff are definitely what makes this cafe special. It’s not often you find such a friendly, young staff who all seem to be enjoying their jobs, and they are all really good at them too! Will definitely be back…

We googled a dog friendly café for our first visit to Ilkley and Daniels came up first with very good reviews so we looked no further. The food was very tasty indeed and there were things on the menu that were new to us. The service was lovely and friendly. Oh and the coffee was very good indeed. We realised that Ilkley is not short of eateries but we were glad we weren’t distracted by anywhere else! Would definitely go again.

Amazing oreo chocolate mini cakes, lovely light icing and amazing rich chocolate cake! Hard to keep little hands away from them 🙄. The shop looked lovely, looking forward to browsing the gift section soon.

What a fantastic cafe, the staff are incredibly friendly and the food is delicious! Dog friendly with even little treats given to our little anxious pooch to help her settle. We stopped off whilst visiting Ilkley for a all day breakfast and weren't disappointed by the very yummy fully monty breakfast!

What a little gem! The lady who runs this charming restaurant/takeaway is so lovely and welcoming. The food was amazing too - we had the piccante pizza with parma ham, nduja and focaccia and some arracini balls to share. The food was very authentic and so good I forgot to take a picture! We also bought some home made cakes to take home. We’ll definitely be back.

Popped in yesterday for a quick snack with partner and dogs. Both ordered avocado with pea and ham on sourdough, coffee and a tea. Really simple but spot on, the main ingredients tasted very lovely and fresh, both really really enjoyed it, nicely put together, just enough and very good value. The staff were fab, came across really nice and genuine without being overly friendly/false. Would definitely go back. Worth a trip through from Harrogate. Thanks very much 🙂

Local favourite that's cosy, friendly and family run for many highly successful years. A short blackboard menu is theatratically presented by the papa chef Luigi. The food is superb, genuine Southern Italian . Service excellent, food comes promptly and always delicious. Vino list again Italian classics and to the point. Absolute local gem, well priced, reservations are recommended as that is often months in advance!

Possible the best takeaway I’ve ever had! The food was restaurant quality with a good selection of vegetarian options. The Kumb Padhina Tikka was a standout starter. The service and waiting area were brilliant too. I will definitely be going back!

Amazing food, great new restaurant and service is excellent. Thank you again and will be back time after time xx

Lovely pizza and a gin & tonic while I waited.

Great spot food and coffees perfect great service too.

Chose this restaurant due to really good reviews for a Anniversary lunch. Overall the starter and main course were very good. Service was great , then came dessert !! What a shame , we both had lemon tart which was obviously homemade but not too sure it was edible, one of the portions had a greenish colour through the pastry. Staff were quick to come over to the table when they could see there was a problem and said they would take it to the chef to investigate. On returning to the table without my desert they said it wasn't mould as it was made the day before but couldn't give a explanation or apology for what obviously didn't look good. Definitely would not return again after such a poor response to a food problem.

A fantastic dining experience from start to finish, we were absolutely delighted by everything we received from being greeted at the entrance to being looked after at the table & leaving.

Lovely fish. For a change I had two potato scallops (70p each) with the fish. Absolutely delicious. Really friendly owners, I sat outside to eat (as nice weather) and could hear all the conversations with customers emanating from within. All full of warmth & humour, a true community feel. Special.
