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

First visit here. Won’t be our last. We were made to feel very welcome - friendly and engaging staff. Even if the food had been terrible and the staff rude, this place would have still got a five star review for the ‘Nduja martini. It was out of this world! So much so, I had another. 🤤 The food was delicious, very well presented, the portion sizes were great and we left very full and happy. Extremely reasonably priced! The staff had great rapport and made it an experience. My only teeny tiny bit of criticism was that the restaurant felt cold - however it was also -5°c outside. It warmed up when the restaurant was full - so finding a balance is challenging which I appreciate. The only other tiny point was glassware which was acknowledged before the wine was served. My partner got a nice wine glass, so they were happy! 😁 What would we like to see? 1. You obviously have a very skilled chef - go more adventurous with some unique specials. 2. You have an excellent drinks menu with some interesting gin, cider and cocktail options. Your wines are very reasonably priced, it would be good to see a wine list that was as varied as your drinks list. I also appreciate you need to offer what will sell by the bottle ☺️ Thank you - we will see you again soon!

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 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👍🏽👍🏽

Great selection of food and drinks all at a good price. This was our 2nd visit and will definitely be back.

Very good. Lots of interesting burgers. Though they might not be the trendy kind (smash patties, brioche buns), they had tonnes of flavour. Really appreciate that beef is cooked pink and chicken is made with thighs.

Stopped here while away for work didn't have any tables but offered me a takeaway option which took less than 15 minutes to get sorted. Food was very nice, it was nice to have a proper burger patty instead of a "smash burger" the blue cheese burger had great flavor. I doubled it up which makes it a big burger, the pulled pork fries were a good size potion and again tasted great. Would definitely go again, would recommend you book a table as it seems a popular place.

We’ve enjoyed meals here on several occasions and have always had excellent food and service, it does get very busy though so best to book in advance.

Wow, what a place to have close by!! The chicken burger is HUGE, beef burger is juicy and flavoursome, Perfect fries!! Very well priced for tue quality of food and the staff are lovely. We don't need another takeaway now... this is the one!

Burgers ready within 10 minutes. Crispy fries where you can actually taste the truffle. Loved the complexity of the burger fillings- this is a burger with all the works. Almost Famous used to be my favourite burger place, but Digin's Hut beats it. Benches outside while you wait for your takeaway. £12 for the 'Rate my Takeaway beef and £10 for the pulled pork burger (which is probably my favourite), Doughnut was thick and heavy.

Yum! We've visited digins hut 3 times now and every time we've had amazing quality food that leaves us feeling stuffed. Generous toppings on all burgers. Melt in the mouth. We ordered an iced latte and the staff nipped to the shop for ice. Nothing is too much trouble. The creme Brulee donut is a must have! Recommended to friends and family and will defo be back.

A real unctuous treat which was truly sublime! Highly recommend trying the smash burger! Very affordable price which included chips too. Sat outside of the bench provided

We’ve visited twice In the last two weeks which speaks for itself really. A beautiful, welcoming cafe with a fantastic vegan menu, that also caters for gf diets. There’s a really nice range of small plates, bigger meals and sharing plates. The coffee is excellent. Dogs are welcome, and our last visit was with a 5 month old baby who was also made to feel very welcome.

Amazing vegan food which is a short walk from all the touristy stuff to see. Dog friendly and yoga too. Especially recommend the Koran loaded fries!

I visited Dandelion Cafe on my first trip to Saltaire and honestly fell in love. A vegan cafe, beautifully decorated with artwork and plants, next to a yoga studio, which is dog friendly… tick, tick, tick, tick! One of the lovely ladies at the cafe even brought some water over for my dog, Wilf. My brunch was delicious (the cakes are to die for) and very reasonably priced. I loved the vibe at Dandelion and will definitely return when I’m next in Saltaire. Thank you again!

The service was outstanding! Catered for my mum who is vegan but also has black pepper allergy which meant they created her a bespoke meal. Food was very nice and whilst I’m not personally vegan I thoroughly enjoyed! Full of flavour, colourful and beautifully presented! Thank you for being so patient!

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.

Really tasty lunch of eggs royale & buttermilk chicken burger, homemade fries and chunky & very tasty. Super friendly service too. Highly recommended.

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

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.

Had a starter and a pasta main and wow! The portions are huge. Definitely come again.

Great food, great service and no loud music ! 😁👍

We arrived on a very snowy frosty night, the place was warm and the atmosphere was pleasant, the food excellent, service was just right not hurried, but didn’t have to wait between courses. We had the king prawns to start, the flavours were very complementary, on to filet steak we ordered medium, it was medium perfect, tiramisu for dessert this was light and very tasty. All in all a good night. Thank you.

Great music venue and bar. Excellent fast food menu too. Support this wonderful establishment in the heart of Shipley.

Cosy little restaurant, nice decor, excellent service. Food excellently presented and mostly cooked to perfection. Only quibble was the sides of veg (slightly over done) and the dauphinoise (needed more seasoning). But don't let that detract too much, overall still 5 stars. We had the full 3 courses, Inc a nice touch with a free mushroom soup shot before the starters, and I'd definitely go back.

Wow. 20 years I've been coming here and never had a bad meal. The food is truly exquisite with perfectly balanced flavours, interesting combinations and always beautifully presented. My recommendation is go midweek for the £16 2 course menu. Great value. I am an ex chef and ex mystery shopper so am exceptionally hard to please- I flipping love the food here. Go try it. Look at my photo.

Amazing food. Every time I have visited here I am truly impressed with the quality of the food and the service. Will always return to La Rue- my favourite food in Saltaire.

What a gem this place is. Lovely inside with friendly staff. As for the food, it is top quality. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

I'm in the process of moving next door to San Angelo. I went round to my new place last night and realised that I had no food or equipment in. Luckily I managed to make a last minute reservation here and had a wonderful risotto with a few nice drinks. Really friendly staff, great service and tasty food. Even when I move in properly and can cook for myself, I'll keep coming back to here.

A really nice place to eat. Would recommend, and would also recommend booking too as it got really busy whilst we were there. Food was a reasonable price and 3 out of the 4 in our party really enjoyed the food. Unfortunately the seafood pasta wasn't very diverse with seafood and was predominantly mussels. That, and the fact that the menu is pretty extensive and a bit overbearing was the reason I dropped a star. But these could both be considered subjective to be fair.

--- I recently had the pleasure of dining at San Angelo for the first time and it was truly a delightful experience! From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a wonderful evening. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. As for the food, every dish was a masterpiece the starter of prawns in garlic butter was amazing and the main course, pollo San angelo and beef medallions was absolutely incredible – one of the best we have had! My husband and I was highly impressed. Overall, San Angelo offers a perfect blend of traditional Italian flavors and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to enjoy an authentic Italian dining experience. I will definitely be back! ---

Had a brilliant night last night! Fantastic food, massive portions, service is top notch, you feel like you’re being welcomed into a family, and the staff have personality! Super friendly. We had a birthday which they celebrated wonderfully, just top notch. Will be back again soon. Just book in advance as they are understandably busy!
