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.

Lovely pizza and a gin & tonic while I waited.

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 🙂

Me and my partner went there for an impromptu lunch and it was definitely a top choice. My partner is Italian and I am from the south of France and both have had restaurant businesses in our family. This place is authentic, the food is super fresh and all the ingredients were top quality. Both our meals were thoroughly enjoyed. The charm of this place is that the menu changes each day, which is testament to the freshness of the produce. The staff are very friendly and take care of the customers. The best bit is the price was very affordable for the quality of food.

I visited this restaurant 3 times before it moved locations and loved its small, cosy & incredibly friendly feel, it was steeped in in authenticity. Therefore when we booked for a 4th visit I was a little concerned that scaling up this amazing concept would mean it list its originality & I’m sorry to say I was right! The food was still just as good but the service was poor! I ate most of my two dishes without the side of rice I’d ordered, despite having to ask for it a further three times. Then after finishing our coffees that we’d ordered at the same time as our desserts, the desserts never arrived. After bringing this to the waitresses attention, she apologised, said she’d put the order through to the kitchen but the chefs had left for the night!!! To add absolute insult to to injury when the bill arrived we were asked to pay a £7.80 service charge, which I absolutely refused to pay! A classic example of an upscaling that has spoilt its original charm!!!

Great food great service if only they had a restaurant it would be booked out every night of the week 👍

Absolutely fantastic lunch experience. Great food, wine, service in a beautiful sunny spot. Top notch espresso too! A great find. Thank so much for your care and attention yesterday. Keep up the Great work

Our first time here but definitely not our last. From the friendly welcome to assistance selecting a curry suitable for a diabetic and the food arriving on our table, we cannot fault anything. If your browsing around, undecided where you will get delicious food, in a relaxed and friendly setting, look no further.

In Ilkley for a few hours for legal paperwork & looking for lunch. Galo's kitchen was a fabulous find - not too busy, lovely staff, great food & a good lunch deal. Will definitely come again when in Ilkley. Thank you!

Decent community cafe. My first choice to eat in Ilkley.
