The Best Restaurants in Cottingley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

The place is outstandingly good. We came here for breakfast on a Saturday morning and were pleasantly surprised to find room available. We ordered an English breakfast and Shakshuka, along with coffee, a matcha latte and orange juice. Firstly, the English breakfast was outstandingly good and of excellent quality. The beans were a homemade mix and the sausages were clearly local. The Shakshuka was also presented beautifully and tasted delicious. The drinks were great too. The staff were friendly and the food arrived quickly. The atmosphere was lovely and it was all reasonably priced. I would definitely come back here!

10/10 would recommend to a friend. Ate here last night and the food was incredible. There was 6 of us and we went pure feral and ordered pretty much everything off the menu between us and we regret absolutely nothing. Every dish was packed full of flavour and beautifully presented. Solid cocktails... winner. The front of house team were confident knowledgable and very friendly. Solid team effort and they smashed it. Looking forward to trying out their brunch menu. I’m going to be a regular…take my money.

Service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. We couldn't fault it. Highly recommend. 10/10

I had a excellent sunday brunch here. The food was outstanding, staff was friendly and helpful. Best english breakfast I've ever had. Egg Benedict seemed a little bit sour for me. Will come back to eat sunday roast (served from 1pm) WC is clean and tidy

First time of going here but won't be the last. The atmosphere was relaxing and friendly with a lovely decor the food was delicious. I was torn what to choose but had the mushrooms to start and then the duck all cooked to perfection, I had no room for dessert but the rest of the table had the chocolate mousse which they all devoured. Well done Eric and your team for such a fabulous place.

Whilst it was sad to see that Para Picar, the restaurant that was previously in this location had closed, the good news is that an equally impressive French cafe and bistro has taken its place. The staff were friendly and welcoming, served great coffee, and the food was delicious and well cooked. Both meals we had were fantastic, with the spicy Moroccan breakfast being particularly ideal for a cold and damp winter's morning. We'll definitely look to return if in the area again to sample the dinner menu that looked fantastic.

Had a lovely family meal here last Monday evening. It was steak night so a few of us took advantage of that (2 delicious steaks plus a bottle of decent house wine for £50). Camembert, fish soup, duck & the Moules special were also devoured! Everybody enjoyed their meals (and drinks!) thoroughly and the service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Great find when working away, had the chicken supreme tonight with a lovely glass of pinot Grigio, this was my second visit after the meatballs the night before. Up there with best food I’ve had and well worth a visit, lasses front of house do a great service as well👍🏽👍🏽

A fresh take on authentic Italian dishes. Quality was outstanding, food was cooked to perfection & the wines & cocktails were top quality & served by a team of incredible staff ! The Restaurant itself is in a great spot in the middle of Saltaire & the atmosphere inside is glamorous but cozy & warm. Many thanks to Chef & Staff for our amazing New Year's eve party of 5. Thanks guys !

Visited for the first time this New Year’s Eve. Absolutely fantastic food, wine and service. Wild boar and nduja meatballs to die for and the fennel red pesto pizza was delicious. Can’t wait to book in again to try some more meals!! A local new firm favourite.

Amazing breakfast with an Italian twist. Lovely, attentive staff. Evening meals are great too!

Great food, reasonably priced with polite staff. Bottle of wine £19 and lovely.

Recommended 100 percent. Table service equally as good as the food itself. Shared the evening with the family. Dishes were freshly cooked to perfection. We have shared with each other and I could not fault any . We did not have such good curries in a long time. Fabulous.Will be back soon.

This was our first time visiting the Sizzling Lounge. We were visiting Yorkshire for a family birthday and 9 of us attended for dinner. The atmosphere is lovely bright and clean with plenty of space around the table which was lovely. The tables were a good size for all the dishes too. The manager was fantastic, I was genuinely struggling to select my meal so I asked the manager for his recommendations and I was not disappointed! The food was plentiful and delicious. Best Indian I have had in a long time. The staff also came to our table with cake and an indoor firework and sang happy birthday for my mum. Overall the experience was great and I'm looking forward to returning on our next visit. Thank you

Can't say enough of the service and amazing food. The pint of cobra off the tap in a beautiful glass was really something! The Argentine Malbec is a great choice if you like a mouth filling smooth red. The special dish fired in brandy is something to behold and the flavors omg. We weren't expecting a curry this early in the trip but weather drew us across the road from the mooring just below Bingley 3 rise to save getting g too wet. The rating was already right up there but not high enough for us. A fabulous feed and lovely folk. Get into it! J n K from New Zealand

Booth saw this real ale outlet also offers Indian Street Food to eat in or take away. Oddly I was in Traders, Marple , last week and that was the first time I had seen this combination. Five real ales. Great selection including a Bingley brewery ginger stout but at 5.8% too strong for me. Had a Wishbone Brewery Tiller 4.2% Pale Ale instead. Excellent pint. Ordered chicken tikka and chicken pakora as well. Both generous portios, pipping hot and tastey. Booth noticed Lal Toofan lager on tap..a first so he tried that as well. Super find by Bingley train station and Bingley bus station. The bar has two departure boards so easy to time your beer and make your train or bus. A second room is more of a dining room.

Always handy to know a good 🚂 station local that opens at 12 noon on a Saturday. A fine collection of cask ales including the Fractal Pale which is brewed locally. Unfortunately no time to try the Indian Street Food today. Great service from the friendly barman who seems to be as passionate about the beers as we are 👍🏻

I've been a few times now and their curry is amazing. Limited menu which is a good thing because what you get is really nice authentic Indian food. I had the onion pakora and the lamb curry and it was cooked to perfection. Good food with good company and a few drinks made it the perfect evening. The staff are very friendly and look after you.

Cracking place. Great beer, amazing food. If you're in Bingley, you need to go here. Honestly, it's a gem and I'm going back for more.

Had a lovely meal with my sister and elderly parents last night, great atmosphere we never felt rushed even though we were just having mains and a glass of wine. Food was excellent and very reasonable especially as our parents were paying 😀 if I had to find anything to be unhappy about and it was more for my sister, who is celiac there wasn't any gluten free bread and she had to watch us 3 devour a basket of the most divine Italian bread.

Visited on Saturday 22nd July 2023 - friendly attentive staff - food was very good. Really enjoyed the ribs for my starter and the lasagna was highly rated - nice wine selection - bill came to £71. Tipped £14. Really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you RECOMMEND

Went in on spec at 5.30 on a Saturday night and got a table for two. Excellent food and superb service, will definitely be going back

We came here on holiday and wanted a find dinning experience, and we got it! The food was spectacular and good value. Thank u guys it made our holiday eating at your restaurant! Absolutely fabulous!

My partner, myself and our little pooch stopped in for a meal this evening. We were greeted by Nicola who showed us to our table which was right next to the open fire. The food was served promptly and was delicious. Nicola was fantastic!, very friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble for her! We will definitely be returning!

Amazing lunch today! Food quality was of a very high standard, but HUGE portions so was unable to finish, but my god it was good! Nicola, our server, was a very cheerful and tentative, showing interest in us and no requests seemed to be an issue! Our table was nice and tucked away, giving us a proper little couples lunch, which we loved.... And it was dog friendly, so Cooper had a good day out and was supplied free snacks and water! Happy dog, happy house! All round, 5 out of 5! We will be dining there again and highly recommend!

I spent some quality time with my Brother. It was busy but the food was good not outstanding. The sweet was lovely better than the main. The waitress was a bit sharp but the manager was welcoming. The things which let this place down. The windows were filthy and the carpark was not fit for purpose. I had to park at the back in a gravel pit. No bays please invest in your infrastructure more. I am sure you are making enough money. It needs to be levelled off. Keep up the good work on the food but start looking at the bigger picture. Good 🤞.

We came here as a family on a beautiful sunny day and we were not disappointed! The view was absolutely amazing from this pub and the food and drinks were equally as nice! Great place to come for a family meal and a bonus if you get to sit outside for a drink on a sunny day. For starters we shared the scotch egg, halloumi fries and chorizo sausage bites, they were all delicious washed down with my cocktail sat in the beer garden. For mains we both ordered the pan roasted lamb which was absolutely delicious and being a big lamb lover, I would find it hard to return and not order this again!! Our son ordered chicken nuggets and chips, surprise surprise, which he enjoyed. For dessert I had the sticky toffee pudding which is ALWAYS a winner in my eyes! My son ordered the trio of ice cream which was quickly devoured and my partner had the double chocolate brownie which he also swiftly polished off. The staff were friendly and the cocktails were good. I also much preferred our visit here to the Cow and Calf pub in Ilkley which is also a Vintage Inns pub with a very similar menu ( see my other post for that review on that ). We will definitely be returning at some point.

This ancient pub is now a brasserie but you can come in for drinks only with limited drinkers space in the bar area. A lovely interior. Booth told me to have Ossett brewery White Rat, one of two real ales. T'other being Black Sheep. Busy food trade at 5.15 on a Saturday. Large rear beer garden/courtyard for drinkers and families overlooking the river Aire. Probably less popular in bad weather but perfect on a good evening.

Food was so tasty and quality, we took 3 course, thought i wouldn't be able to breathe again :)))) amazing atmosphere, warm, cozy... and very friendly staff. Bravo!

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Easy booking process. Friendly and attentive staff without being overbearing. Great (and reasonably priced) food...... Would happily go again 👍

Nice restaurant on the water with tasty food and great views. The steak sandwich was delicious!

A nice pub restaurant. Busy early evening on a Friday but quieter as evening went on. The food was great especially the steak, chips a little overdone but ok. Good choice of dessert. Gluten free and vegan options. Service was excellent.

Was up here for the Saltaire Festival, and this pub was just across the river. It's in an awesome location situated right next to the river and across from a field. Has a lovely outside area with plenty of seating. Staff were friendly and it has a good selection of drinks. They do sell food but I didn't eat here. It does have a little bit of the "chain pub" feel which i am not too keen on but that's more of a personal preference. I would come here more often if I lived in the area if for nothing else than the lovely sound of running water outside from a small nearby waterfall.

Visited The Boathouse with my daughter and granddaughter on a Tuesday afternoon . Difficult getting the pushchair down to entrance die to the stairs . If there was a slope entrance we did not see it . Once inside the staff were great . There's a really good choice of local beers including a couple of Timothy Taylors . Food wise I had the pork pie and mushy peas and we also had a caeser salad. Both very tasty . I recommend a visit to The Boathouse when you are next in Saltaire .

Such wonderful staff especially on a very busy day from the beer festival. I've always enjoyed the food. Thank you for such a wonderful meal

A great authentic experience!! Amazing trendy place!! Across road to Salts Mill. Beautiful clean interior & welcomihg staff. I loved the menu & tantalising dishes on display. A must try when venturing in this picturesque vicinity. We were looked after very well & served with a smile. Our fish was succullent, not over spicy & the salad was freshly prepared. There is a great bar serving a selection of alcoholic drinks & it’s good to know that halal food is served here. A truly enjoyable wonderful afternoon 10/10

Stopped in for a Sunday breakfast, great service, fast and friendly. Cozy ambiance in a well decorated restaurant, high ceiling and an excellent selection at the bar for lunch and dinner. An excellent place to take your date for a treat. Highly recommended.
