Restaurants in Ilkley… by personal recommendation! Mention our name, it always helps!

For the crème de la crème head for the Box Tree 01943 608 484, established in 1962, which offers top end dining with one Michelin star, and is run by Simon Gueller and his wife Rena. Marco Pierre White was once chef here, and has recently named the Box Tree as his "favourite restaurant in Britain" during a visit to the kitchen where he learnt his trade. It is nationally renowned and is housed in one of the oldest building in Ilkley, dating back to 1720. They have fixed priced lunch and dinner available at times too, so worth checking. Open Tuesdays to Saturdays for dinner, Fridays to Sundays for lunch.

The Farsyde - 01943 602 030 - Open Tue-Sat - booking essential
An upmarket well established place to eat, we love it. Gorgeous but pricey, and impossible to get in unless you book weeks in advance.

Martha & Vincent - 01943 602 444 - Open Tue-Sun
Voted best restaurant of 2007 in Yorkshire by The Yorkshire Post. On the pricey side. Again book to avoid disappointment.
