Modern Cuisine, Creative · ★ Michelin
££££
The open kitchen acts as a stage at this theatrical restaurant set in the grounds of the Rudding Park hotel. All the semi-communal tables face the chefs as they craft their creative surprise tasting menu, which is filled with assured, technically skilled dishes informed by their homegrown produce (from the 52 raised beds) and the preserved ingredients that line the shelves. In a playful touch, ‘Dessert Island Discs’ allows guests to choose a track to play while the puddings are served. Said desserts are a highlight, such as the exquisitely executed honey custard tart crafted from their own hon

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
££££
Set in a quiet area of the city, this attractive Arts and Crafts building is little sister to the Black Swan in Oldstead and shares its ethos of seasonality and sustainability. Tasting menus evolve naturally according to the availability of produce – which originates from their kitchen garden, small regional suppliers and chef-owner Tommy Banks’ parents’ farm. Creative, modern dishes are carefully prepared and deceptively simple to look at, yet offer great refinement and depth of flavour. There’s plenty of choice on the well-chosen wine list, with everything available by the glass.

Skosh
Modern British · Bib
££
This bright, lively restaurant is still one of the hottest tickets in town, and it's easy to see why. Located just up the road from Micklegate Bar – a 12th-century gateway to the city – its name comes from the Japanese word meaning ‘small amount’, referencing the menu's sharing-plates format. Six or seven dishes is about right between two, with each one incorporating bold, precisely balanced flavours with real skill. Indian cuisine has a palpable influence on the cooking, but so does the rest of the world – with dishes like masala monkfish and the superb hogget 'shawarma'.

Bavette
French · Bib
££
From baguettes to bavettes, there’s something so overtly French about this terrific neighbourhood bistro that it’s a wonder they don’t have the tricolore flag hanging outside. Its unlikely location in the Leeds suburb of Horsforth is a result of the relationship between Leeds native Sandy Jarvis and Frenchman Clément Cousin, who met while working in some of London’s top restaurants. Cousin runs the chatty service, while Jarvis is in the kitchen working on proudly Gallic classics – expect to spot delicious renditions of the likes of 'oeuf en meurette' and 'Paris Brest'.

The General Tarleton
Modern British
£££
This 18th-century coaching inn has been given a makeover by the Tommy Banks group, with its rustic charm preserved across the main dining room, a glass-roofed courtyard, a bar and a large terrace – with the latter two kept free for walk-ins. As is the Banks way, the cooking champions the best Yorkshire produce and day-boat fish, across a mixture of pub classics and slightly more original dishes, like barbecued monkfish with a lemon verbena curry sauce. The bright, engaging service team add just the kind of warmth you hope for in a pub like this.

Alice Hawthorn Inn
Regional Cuisine, Traditional British
££
This smartly modernised dining pub sits on a large village green where, as well as a duck pond, you’ll find the country’s tallest maypole. Guests are spread across multiple rooms that are all packed with charm, character and the obligatory exposed brickwork and beams. The hearty, well-presented dishes showcase some garden produce and know no borders, meaning you could find dynamite shrimp and sea bass ceviche alongside fish & chips and leek & potato soup. Welcoming service and smart, slightly Scandic-style bedrooms complete the picture.

Paradise Café
Seasonal Cuisine
££
A smart, spacious café behind a garden centre; if it’s sunny, grab a seat on the terrace overlooking the lake. They’re open for breakfast, brunch and lunch, and the frequently changing menu offers seasonal dishes which are fresh, unfussy and full of flavour. Book the chef’s table to watch the kitchen at work.

Chartwell
Modern Cuisine
££££
This attractive restaurant inside Aldwark Manor boasts a range of eye-catching features; your interest may be captured by the boldly coloured fabrics decorating the room, the huge windows affording views over the lawns or, if you’re looking closely, the mirror with camera views into the kitchen. What’s more, one of the well-stocked bookcases even conceals a secret door into a snug bar that’s perfect for a digestif. The cooking itself consists of modernised classics on a choice of tasting menus, Romeo or Julieta – plus vegetarian versions Pol and Roger.
