Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Good atmosphere, lovely restaurant, nice staff (although we were ignored on the way out ) but sadly food was not very interesting or inspirational. £16.50 for a boring plate of king prawns and chips with garlic mayo! Calves liver tasted nice but only the same as any other restaurant I've had it in - not sure why they are serving it with colcannon mash - it being a french restaurant - and where was the cabbage in it? Baked Alaska was a nice feature of an otherwise boring menu. The meal had a bit of the "Emporor's new clothes" about it. Will not be returning as there are a lot of other more interesting restaurants in Leeds.

I agree totally. The best curry I have ever had!!! the meat is perfectly cooked, the service very friendly, well priced and you can take your own booze!! A must for 'real' curry lovers!!!!! I have tried about 10 different dishes on this menu and have never been disappointed, but the Chicken Rogan Josh is a joy!

omars is the best.. a must go.. the food is very cheap and the service is fantastic.. i love the chana puri and they have an award for the biggest naan. order the family size naan and ull neva be able to finish it.. its just the best. da jam rolly polly ans seekh kebabs, and masala wraps not to forget chiken palak... dyr food is fantastic

For my 60th birthday my husband arranged a surprise party. David, the proprietor, arranged the whole evening by email with my husband in Belgium. Everything was wonderful. excellent food and wines and lovely, intimate surroundings. We were given private use of the dining room and the stylish, comfortable lounge. David acted as Maitre D for the evening and made sure everything ran not only smoothly but with a few added delights. All in all the attention to detail, friendly professional staff and lovely surroundings made for a birthday to remember. Many of our guests stayed overnight in the hotel and enjoyed an extended stay with a traditional Yorkshire breakfast. If you are planing a small wedding or special party David and his staff will ensure it is one to remember. I would recommend The Frenchgate Hotel without any reservations.

We ate here during March 2008, our second visit. Friends took us the first time and we took friends on our second! The food was extraordinary and the service some of the best ever experienced. The flavours are exquisite and well balanced. Prices reasonable for the quality of food. And, unusually for an oriental restaurant, amazing desserts!

absolutely superb service,food, and location, the restaurant is modern spacious and very welcoming. the prices are very reasonable and portions very good, all food freshly cooked and well presented, give it a try. they also offer a good selection of bar meals also very well priced.

Meal was fantastic value. Would recommend Peking Spare Ribs as a starter and Beef Chop Suey for main. One rice between two people would have been sufficient for future reference. March 2008

Come on down to The George Country Inn Very nice people

Very Poor Service. Myself and my partner went in on a quite sunday night. We were seated at around 630pm,ordered about 5 minutes later, and got out 2nd(and final) course at 750pm. At one point, after 40 mins of waiting for our first course a waiter told us the food was on its way! People around us got served with quickly enough. The menu was complex, and should only be tackled by those who know their Beijing and Sichuan cuisine from standard chinese. The food was OK, but not enough to make up for the service. I would not go here again, nor would i recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic meal. Friendly atmosphere. Value for money. A must for any foodies who love Italian cuisine at its best. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This was a first visit to Wasabi Teppanyaki. I was really impressed. The food was lovely, cooked in front of you by entertaining (if rather noisy) chefs. We chose the early bird menu (available 6-7.30pm) for £18. We thought you had to choose from the menu - but you got the whole menu (apart from sweets where you did choose). Total bill for 2 £70 including wine. Only gripe was that we felt a little rushed as the area was needed for the next guests, so we were moved to another table for the sweet. Other than that was great. I would recommend this place and eat there again myself.

Beautifully decorated and carefully thought out restaurant and takeaway. There is even spotlessly clean baby changing facilities on offer and wheel chair access. The food was delicious. Lightly battered fish and crisp chips. Very reasonably priced, served by friendly staff. We ate in the restaurant but you can buy from the takeaway and eat on the patio and buy an icecream from their parlour. The River Wharfe just down the road from the restaurant is a great place to take a stroll with the kids as theirs a lovely park there too. A lovely day out.

Friday night, good pub food with a good atmosphere.

As a regular customer of the Tannin Level in Harrogate, I am delighted to inform you that they are now serving all types of coffee. So now not only is it the best place to eat in Harrogate, you can top it all off with a wonderful espresso. Try out the lunch & early bird menu - food of that quality cannot be beaten on value!

Our favourite Thai restaurant. Tranquil surroundings with wonderfully pleasant and attentive staff. The food is of a high standard but we particularly enjoy the Malaysian Pork dish made with Tamarind.It is rich, hot and slightly sweet and goes brilliantly with the Ruins Pinotage. The obvious care which goes into makinga. the food is matched by the quality of the ingredients. The deep fried ice cream in bread and coconut is a triumph.

Our party of 10 went to Kendells yesterday evening to celebrate a friends Birthday. The food was excellent but this was completely overshadowed by exceptionally poor service. If the front of house is improved, this could be a great place. If it isn't, this place will shut within 6 months.

I have been dining at the Lantern Restaurant (and many others) for the past 40 years, I can say without a moments hesitation the beef stroganoff magically prepared by the owner chef Andrios is the finest I have eaten anywhere in the WORLD. (Stoganoff-Rice-Greek Salad-Onion Rings & a bottle of Othello Red Wine). What a superb 'value for money' meal out.

Went to Le Bistro for Sunday lunch. It was fabulous. All the family enjoyed it. My husband and my self do not normally eat a sweet. I had white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake. It was heaven on earth. Will go going back for the Friday/Saturday menu. Jane Sykes York
