The best restaurants in Ripon Minster Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

We called in for a late lunch and were lucky enough to get a table straight away. There was a warm welcoming atmosphere and staff were friendly and efficient. We ordered a selection of tapas which were all excellent and portion sizes were just right. Good value for money and would highly recommend.

We had tea, coffee and scones and everything was excellent. The owner was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The scones were the best I’ve had away from home, there was a generous amount of tea in the pot and the coffee was nice and hot. I would definitely visit again when next in Ripon.

Fabulous cafe with friendly staff, a lovely atmosphere and really tasty food. Lots of options, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Everything is made fresh and it really shows in the taste. Dog friendly as well, which is always a bonus. Will come back for sure!

We visited as a family of six and we managed to reserve a table prior to arriving. We were greeted warmly by a really lovely lady, I think she was the owner. The decor is lovely, bright and a lot of thought has gone into it. The Tearoom is spotlessly clean and the other staff members were very warm , welcoming and well trained. The food was delicious and all very fresh, served with lovely salad. We couldn't fault anything, and our standards are very high. Really lovey experience and we know where to go when we next visit Ripon. Thank you so much x

A wonderful find. Spotlessly clean, very good range of food priced appropriately. The spinach, spiced cauliflower & lentil pie was delicious. Staff cheerful and friendly. Lovely original decor with good attention to detail ( there were scissors provided at the table to cut the individual condiment satchets).

We found this place by chance and are so glad we did. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the service was great. The food was very tasty. We went for the set menu which provided a good selection of delicious dishes and gave good value for money.We only just managed to squeeze in the chocolate at the end as we had eaten so much! I would definitely come back here again and highly recommend it.

Absolutely amazing place! Ordered the OG dog meal, 8inch hot dog with onions, mustard and ketchup in a really soft white sub roll with hand cut triple cooked chips which are unbelievably good! And a complimentary cup of coffee all for £6.50, bargain! Very very clean kitchen 👌 the staff here are so friendly and make you feel at home! highly recommended

Lovely Indian restaurant great tasting food.

Helen who owns the Cafe is such a smiley person, the staff are lovely and give great service, Bacon Sarnie, the best in Ripon. Great Coffee and Tea. Regular visitor now.

We had a meal last night as a family and it was absolutely delicious. Spoilt for choice with regards to the menu, excellent food and staff who couldn’t look after us more. Thank you

Great family run restaurant, with an extensive menu and good set price menu too. The dogs were made welcome and the food was wonderful. Staff very helpful and friendly

Good service. Great beer. Bring your takeaway food and eat out in beer garden. No food served apart from pork pies, crisps etc

What a gem!!!!! What a delightful dining experience in a vibrant but chilled restaurant. Starters we had were Garlic mushroom and Goats cheese with black pudding. Mains We had Carbonara and haddock and prawn risotto all were amazing. The staff were friendly and welcoming and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend dining at Portofino.

We booked this restaurant over 4 months ago, only to turn up to find that it was closed!!!!! We had over an hours drive to the restaurant, as it had been recommended. The booking was for a special occasion, celebrating a friends birthday. We received notification of the booking from the booking agent the evening before as well as on the morning of the lunch booking, so there was no notification saying that the restaurant was closed. When we arrived there was a printed note on the door saying that there was a problem with the roof so it was going to be closed for a short while. There was no evidence of any building work and the tables were still set up for dining, so it seemed a very strange situation. I telephoned the restaurant and the call was transferred to an answer machine. I have still not received any feedback, which is very rude, All pre-booked diners should have been notified of the closure, as this is the only polite way to explain the situation. I have also checked the restaurant website (as I was planning to Email), and the website domain is no longer available. I can only assume that the restaurant is now permanently closed. Very unprofessional and rude!!
