The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Great coffee and great food. Always pop in here when I am in the village. Great selection of food and cakes. Lots to chooses from and fresh bread to takeaway. Sarah's cakes are to die for.

We called in for a coffee and a look around the little shops on site. The coffee was lovely. We then booked a table to return for our lunch. There was a nice choice of sandwiches, panini's, soup, daily specials, homemade cakes & scones, tea, coffees, milkshakes & cold drinks. The staff were very friendly and efficient & the coffee shop had a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We chose the ham cheese & red onion chutney panini which came with a side of crisps and dressed salad with a pot of tea with a cheese scone to follow. The tea was served in lovely vintage china crockery & the panini was very tasty indeed. It can take a little while for your food to come especially at busy times as it is all prepared and cooked to order, but it is well worth the wait. You won't be disappointed 10/10

Lovely bistro 100% recommend have been several times and always lovely food and lovely service

We stopped in here by chance as we were passing and have since made a second trip. The visiting party included ages: 42, 41, 10 and 11 months. There is plenty of space (tables not crowded together), it wasn’t too loud, the chairs are comfortable and it’s bright and clean. The menu is to die for, particularly if you like pancakes and waffles (but plenty of other options), the food really well cooked and the staff efficient and friendly. My 10 year old has decided she wants to celebrate her 11th birthday there which is a big tribute to a new place as she’s autistic and finds new places often overwhelming. Would definitely recommend!

Took my daughter and granddaughter to York , as a Thankyou my daughter took me to the Mad Hatters Cafe, all themed on Alice in Wonderland Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Great fun lots of oddities in the place. We had lots of fun

Dom’s Kitchen hosted my sister's hen weekend and they were nothing short of incredible! From the first contact, they were so attentive and provided a full menu of options including sharing style plates and individual courses. They arrived in plenty of time and everything was just amazing. The food was unbelievable and everyone was stunned at the quality and quantity provided. I would recommend Dom’s Kitchen to anyone looking for a private chef for an event - we had 16 guests including 4 with dietary requirements and they were catered for too. Thank you so much for making our night so special!

Came here with my boyfriend Gary, and what a fantastic place. Such a good idea with the lockers, we had a lovely table, candle was replaced immediately, the atmosphere is just right and nice back ground music.. Service quick and efficient and the toilets were spot on, clean, tidy, well maintained (I cannot stand a wonky loo seat) lovely soap. We have put our names on the wait list for a locker and I look forward to coming back. Thank you James.

This a must for Walkers Hikers a great Tea Garden we had a lovely time Maggie served us with a pot of coffee with hot milk and cream tea at Fodder" it was perfect

This Restaurant has Gourmet Food which very rich and delicious we were very welcomed and the Staff very friendly and helpful and polite there was such a selection of food on the Menu amazing first Class , it is very expensive but you pay for what you get and on a one occasion you got to go its a must when your on Holiday or day out or visiting this is the place to go .

Top notch every time, never had a bad meal yet. Always polite and fast. Hot and sour dishes are excellent stuff too

A canine cuddle cafe is the sort of place one would expect to find in the trendier parts of London which is why it was such a surprise to come across this little gem in Malton. That said, Malton has been awarded the title 'dog friendliest town in the UK.' We just love this cafe where several different breeds of happy dogs (which all belong to the cafe owner) are available for endless cuddles. The cuddles are accompanied by a variety of teas, coffees and home baking. Thalia, the owner, informed us that the venue and a selection of doggies can be hired for children's parties. Apparently an alcohol licence can be obtained for grown up parties. A visit to Malton would not be complete without a visit to Mixmups. We highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

Lovly little cafe sevice very good and with a smile food very fresh and served quick service exelent and very very clean and cheap 10/10

We must have driven past this amazing place a dozen times on visiting Scampston Walled Garden next door (also absolutely stunning) and have never stopped till this morning. It is simply amazing and like walking into a patisserie/boulangerie in central Paris. All the pastries (sweet and savoury) cakes etc are made by the owner. We have no idea how she does it (she must work a 30 hour day!) but this matters not one jot when you taste the fruits of her labours. We will be back soon! Robin Lane Devizes

Willowgate Bistro – A Five-Star Culinary Treasure If I could give Willowgate Bistro more than five stars, I would. This remarkable restaurant is, without doubt, one of the most memorable dining experiences I’ve ever had—and it deserves to be recognised at the very highest level, Michelin star and beyond. The chef is an absolute genius. His ability to combine bold, imaginative flavours with flawless technique is rare. Every dish is a masterstroke, showcasing not just skill, but true passion. This is not food you simply eat—it’s food you remember. But what truly elevates Willowgate Bistro from excellent to extraordinary is the experience as a whole. The chef’s wife is the heart of the front of house—warm, attentive, and effortlessly charming. Her hospitality made the evening feel personal and special, as though we were dining with old friends. Together, they create magic. This is not just a restaurant. It’s a love story—between the food, the people, and the passion that binds it all together. An absolute gem that deserves all the recognition in the world. Book a table, go hungry, and prepare to be amazed.
