The best restaurants in Ilkley Bradford Yorkshire and The Humber

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Olive Branch last Wednesday. We both chose from the set menu,great value for £20. The food was excellent, well cooked and delicious. Our waiter was friendly and efficient without being intrusive. We would definitely recommend.

a great little pub with a great selection of hand pulled beers from the brewery out the back.

2nd visit to this lovely little gem of a place. I'm just out of hospital so it was a treat to get out somewhere. I had the Broccoli and cheddar quiche which was served with a crunchy colourful salad, wedges home made hummus and beautiful big pitted olives ( not from a jar) Thanks pastry base was the lightest thinnest I've ever had. Delicious. My vegan wife went for the pitta with cauliflower fritters, again salad & hummus with a sweet chilli dip. We both cleaned our plates. We also each had a freshly made fruit smoothie ( choose your own fruits) great big glassful which tasted fabulous. Great atmosphere and staff. Prices very reasonable. Parking just over the road. Wish there were more places like this for us non meat eaters. Well done VEGGIE. Highly recommend 👌

Really enjoyed the packed restaurant. Of course it was wednesday evening when the special offer 4 course meal was on the menu. Our food was delicious and plentiful. It was nice to go into a full restaurant in the middle of the week

Lovely Sunday lunch, with an uncomplicated and very appealing menu. Great staff who were friendly and supportive. Special thanks to Jessica and Hannah but to the whole team, who made it a wonderful Easter Sunday lunch.

We called in today for lunch having had coffee and cake on our previous two visits. It was more quiet than we expected - it's usually very busy and we called in on a bank holiday - so we were able to get a table at the back. We decided on two of the specials - I had the Smokey beans with Greek yogurt, my husband had the Mackerel pate with pickled onions, both came with sourdough toast and a small dressed salad. I thought, initially, that both dishes were a little pricey but, as we'd enjoyed what we'd had on previous visits and having promised ourselves something more substantial on our next visit, we thought we'd give it a try anyway. The food came very quickly - amazing for such a tiny kitchen! It was nicely and simply presented and was absolutely delicious. The mackerel pate was very obviously homemade and the beans came in a deceptively deep bowl so it was a plentiful portion - so not badly priced after all! The sourdough was really tasty and toasted to perfection. The coffee was very good. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, as they had been on our previous visits. We'll definitely call in again next time we're in Ilkley.

Parked the car and fancied some lunch before shopping. Literally fell into this gem 3 metres away and it was lovely. My partner was on crutches and doesn't like the sun so, when it was too hot inside, Jane seated us around the side in the shaded terrace. Food was great and service spot on. Thanks to Jane, Amy and all the staff who were so kind.

We were so disappointed - the food was not special and the restaurant was lacking in atmosphere. The room temp was too low, the lights were too bright and the decor was just plain. The food was just ... ordinary and didn't justify the price tag. I don't know if we caught it on a bad night but I doubt if we'll go back - there are much better options in Ilkley

Food tasted amazing and the service was spot on

Wonderful service, fabulous food & amazing views!

We called in whilst shopping in Ilkley. We enquired if we could bring our dog in. A lovely lady explained that dogs were. not allowed in the restaurant however she showed us to a seating area in the foyer and a lovely rear courtyard with tables. As it was a sunny day we sat outside. The coffee, cake and service were wonderful. We were made really welcome. Jessie the dog says thanks for the complimentary dog treats and bowl of water.

I love this cafe. The coffee is amazing and the staff are so lovely and helpful. The daily baked goods are great and it’s kiddie and dog friendly. Definitely a must stop in St Ives.

Great value for money with 2 for 1 pizza! Pizzas were great, we had one gluten free and one normal, they were both big and full of toppings. Would definitely recommend for a casual and inexpensive meal out, we will be back!

Amazing food. Wonderful staff. Totally great lunchtime experience. Highly recommended

We were bought a voucher for Xmas & I booked a table on the 6th Feb for the bottomless brunch. When we arrived the restaurant was closed & the bar next door said they had closed for good a few weeks ago! Beware if you are booking this restaurant as they are still advertising as open & taking bookings.
