William & Victoria

William & Victoria is a family-run restaurant and wine bar at 6 Cold Bath Road, close to Harrogate’s Montpellier Quarter. Owned and managed by the Straker family since 1982, it combines a traditional downstairs wine bar and bistro with upstairs dining rooms used mainly for private parties and larger groups.

The downstairs room is a bistro in the old sense: close tables, low ceilings and an intimate atmosphere that is as much part of the evening as the food. It is a setting for a relaxed lunch, a drink or a quieter dinner for two, rather than a grand, formal dining room.

The kitchen focuses on classic British cooking, seasonal ingredients and local suppliers. Yorkshire produce appears across the menus, while wines, Yorkshire gins and afternoon bar tapas make it an option for a drink as well as a meal. Lunch and evening dining are offered Monday to Saturday, with a separate Sunday menu that includes roasts.

The two upstairs private dining rooms offer a different option for celebrations and group meals. Book through the restaurant’s own booking page, or call for larger parties and private dining enquiries.
