Reviews in Skipton

We were looking forward to eating here after reading a number of positive reviews. We would have liked to leave a positive review but sadly not. Overall a disappointing experience and not what we expected. Food was average at best (have eaten better at motorway service stations). Service from two very pleasant young lady waitresses was somewhat hesitant. Atmosphere was okay although the corner of the restaurant we sat in was a dumping ground for surplus furniture. Value for money would have been very good had it not been for an inedible steak. Maybe it was an off night? Maybe we’ll return but probably not

One of the rare restaurants that lives up to its “French” description. Food - pate, duck confit and tarte au citron - was excellent. Pastis and wine selection added to the frenchness. Service was attentive and the atmosphere as a bistro was spot on (the upstairs was closed). Highly recommendable.

Great food. Excellent value and service.

Consistently excellent.

Food was amazing Staff we friendly and professional We love it here :))

As always a fantastic meal. Staff friendly and professional. Lovely atmosphere. We will keep coming back !

Amazing Sunday lunch, beef was cooked to perfection abd the gravy was delicious

Booked an anniversary meal for two and we're spoilt for choice. I'm normally quite fussy but would've happily ordered anything off the menu. We ordered the French onion soup and the Black pudding starters followed by the Belly Pork and the seafood parcels which were all delicious, accompanied by a lovely bottle of Malbec. Haven't been for years but wish we'd come back sooner, definitely won't be leaving it as long until next time.

We booked quite last minute for Friday evening. The pub was super busy and lively and we were looked after brilliantly by the staff. We had a drink in the beer garden before heading into the restaurant side for dinner. I sprung upon Jack behind the bar the idea of surprising my husband with a birthday cake. He was super accommodating and informed the kitchen. We enjoyed a delicious burger and the cod special. Both meals were so tasty and good sizes. It was proper northern hospitality at its best. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Booked a table for 6 of us for mothers day evening. Visiting Skipton, so unsure what to expect. Delighted with our restaurant choice. Fab welcome from the staff, service excellent, food to die for! We'll definitely book again on our next visit

The food is always fabulous. A mix of fine local ingredients and French style cuisine. I will be back.

Easy booking. Plentiful, good food. Good service.

Tremendous menu and lovely service from two really smart young waiters. We hosted two (VIP) friends from London, who live just by the Globe Theatre - loved everything about Le Bistro and reckoned there was nowhere near them which came close to the style, variety and quality. As locals we were pleased to hear this - but already knew the place was something special. Metropolitan quality with Yorkshire prices (and portions: none of us left hungry) The waiter recommended an excellent Portuguese red which was so good we forced ourselves to have a second bottle.

The food was really good, we both enjoyed it very much. The restaurant is lovely. One small niggle, when I received the bill one dish was costed at £24.95, however we remembered it being in the menu as £24 when we ordered. I grabbed a menu on the way up to the bar to pay and it was actually £24. I know it’s only £0.95 but when you order at a price then that is what should be charged. The waitress suggested (all of) the menus were old and needed updating when I pointed this out and didn’t seem to understand that the restaurant can’t just make a new price up after I have ordered and eaten it at a given price. The right thing to do would have been to redo the bill with the correct price but they just didn’t seem to know what to do. Again it’s only £0.95 out of a total bill of £70 but the principal remains. Unfortunately it ended up coming out of their service charge which isn’t what I wanted to do at all. The management should rectify this and check prices quoted are reflected at the till as it’s not very professional.

Had a lovely meal. The food was excellent and the staff were polite and friendly. We're going back for Sunday lunch it was that good.

Excellent food

Fabulous food. Full of flavour. Will definitely be back.

Held a work evening event in the area upstairs for about 20 people. The staff could not have been more helpful, and the food was really great. Would definitely recommend for functions.
