Reviews in Skipton

We had a few days in Skipton and decided to treat ourselves to dinner at the bistro as it was my birthday. The meal that we had was excellent, we both had the fish parcel in filo with a lovely Thermidor sauce, two very good crème brûlées and a nice bottle of wine. Having said that what did let the evening down was the service. I can’t say we were made particularly welcome, we ordered 2 lemoncello to begin the meal and only 1 came. The food came in good time but the plates were just placed on the table, no warmth or comment, no return to check if the food was good, no comment when the plates were collected. The restaurant was quite busy and there only seemed to be 2 waitresses so they must have been rushed but I couldn’t say either of them showed any professionalism at all. A shame but it didn’t spoil the evening. Just a lot of room for improvement.

Didnt have the burger option I wanted which was disappointing but the choice of other options was good. Food quality was really nice and good portion size. Would defo go back.

Great interior and a lovely setting overall. Unfortunately, there was nobody available to greet us when we arrived, and the downstairs area was very loud, with a number of guests appearing quite intoxicated and loud, which wasn't the best first impression. After introducing myself at the bar, the staff were very accommodating and showed us upstairs, where the atmosphere was much quieter and far more enjoyable. We were given water and some complimentary olives, and the staff were attentive in asking about allergies, which was appreciated. The food was good overall and very enjoyable. However, my friend was mistakenly given regular bread instead of gluten-free bread. We didn't want to make a fuss at the time, so we simply set it aside, but it's something that should be taken more seriously to avoid issues for guests with dietary requirements. Towards the end of the meal, we were told, "We really need this table back now, so if you could pay downstairs." While I understand the need to manage tables, the way this was communicated felt a little abrupt. We had hoped to relax for another 20 minutes and let our food settle before leaving. Overall, the food was delicious, the upstairs atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were generally attentive. My main feedback would be to ensure gluten-free orders are handled correctly and to be a little more considerate when asking guests to vacate their table.

Delicious food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere.

Wasn't going to give a review, but as you've asked, here goes. Wrong wine delivered to the table. Wrong starter delivered to the table. Wine opened away from the table so we didn't have a cork when we wanted to take it away. £55 for the bottle surely make an effort. When the correct starter came, crab with apple. It didn't mention there was ½ a raw onion in it. Not good when you don't like onion. Ploughman's! Please dont just dump a full Apple and tomato on the plate, again please make an effort with the presentation. So in conclusion 2 x wines nice when correct, one came with screw top, opened myself so still had cap. Wrong starter, then not ideal starter, my onion soup, bloomin lovely. Goulash nice but micro rice??? Ploughman's nice but let down with presentation and poor pork pie. Sorry to give a negative review but with a bit of effort you could be great.

We had a fabulous dinner for my daughter’s 11th birthday. She wanted a steak frites and it was just perfect for her! The staff were friendly and very attentive. Overall we had a brilliant evening.

We booked a table for 4 people & asked for a table with plenty of room as we had 2 large dogs. The table was perfect in a corner with lots of room for the dogs lay. Starters were excellent, especially my Queenie scallops. We had seafood parcel, steak which was cooked perfectly, mushroom pasta & stroganoff. Could not fault to food at all. Tasty & plentiful. Nice touch having the we ooden game on the table to entertain whilst our food was freshly cooked. Would Definitely return and recommend.

Main superb, of fish parcel and lobster sauce. Scallop starter was overcooked and scallops tiny which was disappointing, garlic sauce and homemade bread was excellent. Outstanding service and lovely setting.

It was my birthday and shared it with people I love. The food was excellent as always. Staff were very attentive.

Eaten here many times and I find the food excellent and very good value. Will be back in August when we next pass through Skipton

Made our first visit here in Thursday. We booked a table for an early lunch but, by chance, we bumped into the owner in town when our dogs introduced themselves! He was so nice and we instantly knew we had made a good choice to eat at Le Bistro. We were not wrong. Lovely decor, really comfortable, great staff and absolutely superb food and wine. An error in the bill was dealt with impeccably. This will be our 'go to' in Skipton from now on....

Superb restaurant serving excellent food at a very reasonable price and served by a great team. We will be back

Amazing food! Would definitely recommend and would love to visit again!

We visited Le Bistro yesterday lunch time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We have been before several times and really enjoy the ambience. As always the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. We would definately recommend a visit.

Excellent food, excellent wine, excellent staff. Will definitely go back.

Made a special trip to Skipton to revisit this restaurant and it didn't disappoint. I wish I lived closer so that I could go more often. Difficult to decide what to chose as menu was very tempting. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, really recommend this resturant

A wonderful meal , good food and very well looked after

Really enjoyed our meal at Oakley's. Restaurant was fairly quiet so maybe lacked a bit of atmosphere. Weather was miserable so other people away. Our waitress was lovely, sorry I didn’t get her name. Young lady with long dark hair. If we visit Skipton again, we will return.
