The best restaurants in Ripon Spa Harrogate Yorkshire and The Humber

We have been to Sarita’s wonderful cafe-restaurant a number of times now, and it is always fab! The food, service and ambience are just great. This was the first time we had tried the ‘Raj afternoon tea’, which Sarita and her colleague very kindly prepared for us, even though usually you have to order it 24 hrs ahead. It was sooo delicious, and especially nice to have some really good Indian savouries as well as the sweet treats. Sarita talked us through all the different items she had made, and we thoroughly enjoyed everything. We even had some cakes left to take home with us. How she manages to make so many lovely things every day will always remain a mystery - this lady must never sleep! Thanks Sarita - you are amazing!

Very enjoyable lunch. Great food and service

This spot is great for a quiet lunch made with the freshest ingredients. We loved the Brie & cranberry grilled cheese sandwich, but everything, every salad & dessert was delicious!!

This little restaurant only has twelve covers but delivers to each person in spades. Simple menu.simple wine list, but delivering spot on service and food. We will be back. Thank you.

Amazing dinner here - loved the decor/style, felt like we had been transported to somewhere in France, small and cosy, intimate and just loved the little bustling bar at the front of the restaurant. Food was amazing - everything so good, including the fabulous home baked sourdough. This is a place for a special occasion and we will be back. Think they are open for lunch too and interested to try that.

A fabulous menu perfectly executed in lovely intimate surroundings. This is a great addition to Ripon’s culinary scene. We have a holiday let in Ripon and always like to recommend good eateries, Vanora’s will be going to the top of the list. I had Vanora’s famous sourdough with my pate starter, it was far better than my own! So looking forward to returning as soon as we are back in Ripon. Thank you.

Fantastic atmosphere, service and drinks

4 people for lunch today. Husband is gluten intolerant - server asked if intolerant or caeliac (knew what doing) so was reassured. Excellent food. We had the halloumi and beef burgers. Delicious salads, great burger. Excellent tea & coffee. Great service. Would highly recommend.

Stayed here with friends recently. We all enjoyed an excellent overnight stay. Rooms are to a very good standard with nice touches such as mineral water, milk, fridge and biscuits. We all enjoyed dinner, food was excellent. Staff all really pleasant. Breakfast was really good with a different but lovely choice of food. The homemade granola and fruit was enjoyed by everyone. We will definitely go back. Many thanks to all of the team who made our stay so enjoyable.
