Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

We had our annual dinner for 37 of us and couldn't have wished for a better evening. The welcome was warm, the staff attentive and the clean plates said it all. We had the upstairs room to ourselves and for a group of this size to be so cheerful and complimentary at the end of the evening is a real tribute to Cafe Marinetti.

Proper portions of quality ingredients came together in what can only be described as our best meal to date. French onion soup so deliciously sweet and moreish, followed by Petit Sale (melt in the mouth pork with lentils and smoked sausage) served with the pomme frites that surpassed those eaten recently in a traditional Paris bistro only the other week. My wife had the Porc Normande (Pork cheek perfectly cooked with cider). We couldn’t fit a pudding in but if they are as good as the starters and mains then they would deserve a separate visit! Steve (The Chef) and Sharon (The Maitre-de) have created a restaurant that balances traditional French dishes and good old Yorkshire hospitality. We shall be passing on the good word to all we know. This little gem should be a permanent fixture in the Leeds culinary community. We'll certainly be back as the menu is always changing on the blackboards.

My wife and I made the 50 mile trip to Bon Viveur after it was recommended to us by a friend. Well worth the trip! The food is excellent, it arrives hot and there is plenty of it. I just wished I lived closer..... This place is a must visit for all those who enjoy good food at a good price.

Go here every other week and it's fab. Great food, great service, great value! Highly recommended.

id just like to say grappolos happens to be the best restaurant in huddersfield by far.whether visiting with my husband, friends or works do we have always felt special from entering the restaurant to leaving.the staff just cant do enough for you their always polite@bubbly@happy to recommend or explain any dishes for you.as for the food what can i say:)its simply FRESH & FANTASTIC !! keep up the good work guys i will be visiting you again very soon

Been twice this month, very friendly and pleasant. Great food, excellent choice and value.

Viva is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten at. The food is very authentic and flavoursome, and as you shut the door behind you, you could be in Italy in a small back street restaurant where occasionally a friend of the owner comes ina nad bursts into song. A fantastic restaurant with a fabulous atmosphere, superb food at reasonable prices where you are always made to feel welcome.

My wife and I visited the Bon Viveur on 18/04/2008 after quite a long break. I have to say the food was absolutely fabulous, the atmosphere great and the service even better, I would thoroughly recommend this old restaurant. It has been refurbished well but still kept all its charm. We will certainly hurry back

Recently visited the Kaye arms after a recommendation from a work colleague to try it out. What he didn't say was how good the food was, I had the Scallops followed by a very nice Lobster Therador [ haven't seen that in years] while my wife had the french onion soup followed by the seabass on med veg, all very nicely presented and tasty. We didnt book but were attentively seen to and advised of a waiting time, only 15 mins on the night we were there and had a drink at the bar followed by a bottle off the massive wine list, at this point I asked for some guidance and was asked to try the wine before I bought it, !! thats never happened before. A Really nice meal served with professionalism and inclusion made a final bill a pleasure to pay. Would recommend it to anyone.

I love this place. It's friendly and the food is superb. I visit every time I come up to Scarborough.

While it does get a bit chaotic inside at times, the food here is always good, especially the honeycomb cheesecake which I love. Always worth a visit.

Lots of different curries. My wife, cousin and I tried three between us and all were simply too hot. A chicken rogan shouldn't have lots of chillies should it?! No Kingfisher beer.

We have been customers at Mamma Mia for many years we have taken our children, now grown up,you are always welcome.In all the years we have gone we have never had a poor meal.It is a family business and families are more than welcome.If you have a birthday or other celebration,Brian one of the waiters will lead the singing and all the staff join and you get a special cocktail.It is the best restaurant in the city centre,I highly recommend it,give it a try.

One of the best restaurants around, extremely friendly and lovely food, have been a regular for 8+ years and will continue to be my fav restaurant.

Ate here for valentines 08 after their refurbishment. The original house is a stunning building. The interior was OK but a little uninspiring, after been closed for so long I expected something a little more ...wow? The food was absolutely divine, very lightly cooked, nothing heavy. The onion bhajis are the best Ive EVER had - I ate far more than one person should!!! This just about made up for the fact we were seated right next to the kitchen and had to put up with waiters whizzing past the table every 10 seconds which became incredibly annoying. Prices are excellent and I would definitely recommend this restaurant (and the pub next door for a drink before or/and after!)and would eat there again (but I will ask to be seated away from the kitchen (upstairs looked much cosier!)

Not impressed with this place. The food was all pre-made heated up stuff and the acoustics in the place are dreadful the noise bounces round the room of everyones chatter so it is impossible to have a conversation with anyone except the person next to you. OK I s'pose if your quite drunk and just want a quick burger in the warm before heading home, but wouldnt recommend it for a night out. Oh, nearly forgot, one of our party found a 'foreign body' in her food! Which has definitely put her off for life, the management didnt seem very apologetic either,which I think disgusted her even more.

Really good customer service and friendly staff.We took our own tinnies in and they kept them cold for us by putting them in the Freezer.I recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala, lot's of fresh coriander and tomatoes.Will definitely be going again soon.

the food and service is 100% we travel over 20 miles to get to the bridge and its worth every penny very relaxing.looking forward to the next time im sure i can think of a reason to go.ps we had our wedding there in sept 07 and it was all wonderful.karen loftus-sharp
