Best Cozy Restaurants in Knaresborough

Excellent food and service was perfect. Will definitely eat here again. Highly recommend

Visiting Ripon for the weekend and researched places to eat and fortunatley found The Old Deanery. Set in lovely historic house that has been decorated with calm colours and a lovely relaxed feel. We arrived and were warmly welcomed and taken to our table. Limited covers in restaurant so we did not feel hemmed in at all and great to have lots of space around us. Started with a cocktail and opted for tasting menu with accompanying wine flight. Exceptional food from the start with great wines that complimented the food. Some amazing tastes and experiences and it was clear that there was a real enthusiasm for the food and drink The Old Deanery provided. Small portions but you need that with a tasting menu and great to be able to enjoy the component flavours of the food down to the micro herbs and dressings Just lovely to go somewhere out of a big city and get such a high standard of food and service. We took over 3 hours to enjoy our fantastic meal and felt cared for all the time with nothing too much effort. Would highly recommend and we will make sure we visit Ripon again so we can return to The Old Deanery.

Excellent food in a warm and cosy restaurant- very happy to recommend

Beautiful meal selected from an interesting menu. Courteous and efficient service from the young waiting staff. Lovely cozy atmosphere on a wintry evening. Would thoroughly recommend.

Stunning meal with my parents who loved the fact it was Tapas but not just the standard patatas bravas etc. and had a lot of variety. All the food was really tasty, the parsnip and blue cheese being the most surprising/impressive. My wife and I had been before and loved it but I didn't want to say anything to my parents before hand incase it didn't live up to the hype. Very glad to say that if anything the food was even better this time. I will definitely be back and Im looking forward to it.
