Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

I was quite exited by the reviews I had read of Raymond Blancs new eatery in Leeds and so it was with great expectation that I arrived at what is a tremendous looking restaurant, several visits to the Manchester cousin had never disappointed me, Starters were a little pricey and accompanying salad was roughly presented but the Ham hock Pate was Very nice. My wife's Potato Croquettes were also very nice,Seabream followed which my wife enjoyed (a nice portion of fillet guilthead),However my Duck was a great disappointment raw, rather than medium and Cold rather than hot The Restaurant was busy so maybe just an off night but shall maybe stick to the Petit Blanc next time.

Great food, let down by average standard of service.

Good variety of food on the menu.

A magnificent restaurant, the food is always excellent and of the highest standard. The wine list is just as good. Go back whenever you can.

Unbeatable food. The afternoon tea is superb. Make sure you are given a table on the ground floor, not the basement.

I live in Garforth, so this is probably my nearest restaurant. Thankfully its a very good one. Decor is a very clean, modern take on the Indian theme. Consistently good food and reasonably priced. Very busy on Friday/Saturday nights, but other than that no complaints.

Fabulous rural location on the edge of the moors. Excellent parking. Atmospheric "country pub" with open fires and a traditional cosy seating areas. Food home cooked and excellent with large portions. Friendly service. Perfect as a lunchtime venue(perhaps advisable to book ahead on Sunday)or an evening excursion. Coffee served for walkers( good starting point for many beautiful walks)

One trip to Le Besi will get you hooked, whether you fancy lunch, dinner or just coffee & dessert you will be amazed!! Not only is the food out of this world & very well priced the staff will do their up most to accommodate you. The owner is a friendly man as are all the staff he employs. The Christmas menu looks delicious & we are really looking forward to our office Christmas lunch there, but book early to avoid disappointment!! M'shell :)

Sunday Carvery - Excellent choice and fresh vegetables, home made sweets and good wine a very enjoyable experience which we will be repeating

We celebrated my husband's birthday here, last weekend, it was such a special evening. Kenny, Jane and their team did a fantastic job. The atmosphere was relaxed, friendly and the service superb. The food could not be faulted, generous portions, all cooked to perfection and reasonably priced for the quality. What ever the occasion, if you are in York, I'd recommend you eat here, you will not be disappointed!

i thought the shoulder of mutton was by far one of the places been to. the food was brilliant and the the service was exceptional i will definitely be going back

I have eaten at many Indian Restaurants and the food and service here are second to none.The staff are attentive without being pushy. Highly recommended.

Went to the carvery on Sunday. £4.95 for a home cooked Sunday lunch. Great value and great food.

Their Donner Kebab is the BEST eva Kebab i tasted. This place is gud when you need a quick meal.

This by far the best restaurant in Leeds! I can't believe I have lived in Churwell 7 months and only just found this treasure. I found the whole experience so enjoyable when I visited last Monday, that I am going again tonight!

I was taken here as a birthday treat as we had heard so many good things about it. Unfortunately it wasn't a pleasant experience. Everything seemed to be rushed. We had not finished our starter before the main course was brought to our table, and no sooner had we finished eating that then the bill was brought, without us having to ask. We had started and finished our meal within about 40 minutes. No time to relax and chat. Won't be going there again.

Wonderful to find a top class restaurant that blends in with the history of York. 1st class food, 1st class service set in 1st class surroundings. Nice to see a chef that actually likes to meet the diners and not a sound of microwaves pinging in the background. If you are going to York a visit to Ate Oclock is a must.

We were visiting Richmond and we stayed here following a visit to the Tourist information office. What a find this restaurant (and small hotel) is! It is the best meal we have ever eaten - certainly in the north of England anyway. The proprietor, David Todd, is key to its success with his knowledge and fantastic approach to service and quality. Go there whenever in Richmond, or forever regret it.
