Best Restaurants in Harrogate
From Michelin-starred destination dining and long-standing Harrogate favourites to Italian small plates, seafood, Thai and modern British cooking, these are the restaurants worth knowing about.
Restaurants
Below-street-level bistro on Cold Bath Road, quietly running for years on classic cooking and a serious wine list.
William & Victoria occupies a basement space on Cold Bath Road and has been part of the Harrogate dining landscape for a long time.
It is a bistro in the old sense: candles, close tables, a menu of familiar dishes done properly, and a wine list with more thought behind it than the room lets on.
The atmosphere is the point — low ceilings and low light make it feel more private than most of the town's restaurants, which is why it collects anniversary dinners and pre-theatre tables in roughly equal measure. Booking is advisable.
