Called in here mid afternoon for coffee and cake. We were extremely pleased with the choice of home made cakes on offer and they all looked delicious. My wife chose one and trust me, if she enjoyed it, it must be good. Julie, the proprietor was very friendly and we had a good chat with her about Ilkley and places to stay. The young lady serving with Julie was her first day but you wouldnât know as she seemed to fit right in.We will return because the food being served looked really good and the friendliness of our welcome was second to none.

On a recent visit to Ilkley we wanted somewhere to stop for Sunday lunch and came across The Clevedon through TripAdvisor. The restaurant looked really nice but we were surprised when we got there to find it was part of a retirement village. The staff were all very friendly the menu was a set menu with carvery and the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. All in all a very enjoyable experience was small issue is parking very few visitor spaces.

A spontaneous visit on the way home for an evening meal. A welcome pint of "Lancaster Bomber" while perusing the menu - and the extensive specials board. Chose to share a starter of calimari and garlic aoli. Brilliant - wonderful tempura coating and exquisitely tender squid. My wife then had the traditional gammon, egg and chips which she declared "excellent" while I had the home-made chicken Kiev which was first rate. The ambience is that of a homely village pub and the service is friendly and efficient. You will be impressed by the variety and imaginative choice of dishes. The food is superior to many more expensive places in Addingham and Ilkley. Strongly recommended.

A golf Society, where my pal and I are members, were staying at the excellent Riverside Hotel nearby; fancied a change and eight of us dined here.Whilst for the area, the food on the menu was a little bit pricey, the steak specials at around £25 for two, were really good value and first class.The service was also very attentive, not intrusive and overall very good value. The restaurant is quite large and although a Wednesday evening, there were only a few people in the restaurant..difficult to see this relatively new business I suspect, seeing the year out, unless more footfall is obtained..a pity really for the fayre is excellent and close to the centre of town... food presentation. is also first classThanks for you review and positive feedback, hopefully with more like this then our footfall will increase-we`re certainly heading that way slowly but surely.Hopefully you`ll come visit us again next time you`re in town playing golf.All the best,The Ilkley Cow Team

Another visit to this restaurant, and again everything was delicious. The restaurant is spotless clean, the staff were very pleasant and all the food was superb. If you are lucky enough to visit on a Sunday they have live music for your entertainment. A great addition to this lovely town.

We paid our third or fourth visit to Sachi's last Friday night and it was as good as ever. Really tasty food, well presented, fairly priced, with friendly, efficient but unobtrusive service in a spacious, relaxing environment. What's not to like? Why, then, has it never been very busy when we've been in? Perhaps it's because of the location - at the far end of an arcade, off the main car park, with all other units (Specsavers, charity shop etc.) being closed in the evenings. Yes, there are signs at the arcade entrance for 'Sachi's' and a menu board but some people will just walk past without venturing into the arcade. And at the rear of the building overlooking the side street, the old signs for '4 Kitchens' are still up and lit,and this perhaps adds a bit of confusion. Also some people just like to be seen - as evidenced by a well populated 'Broadleys' just along the way directly overlooking the car park.Whatever the reason, if diners, whether visitors or residents, are just walking past I urge you to give it a try. It would be a shame if this excellent, independent restaurant fell by the wayside - Ilkely needs places like this.Thank you very much for your review and we appreciate your concern about Sachiâs. Sachiâs world cuisine cater for a broader part of community. It got some lovely authentic French recipes while lovely hand made pastas... while it creat some Asian flavours....Sachiâs is serving some authentic Indian recipes.... in one word you can find: quality and varieties under one roof.Someone loves food must visit Sachiâs at-least for once to enjoy a proper gourmet experience....Yes we are a bit concerned about the footfalls at Sachiâs...But we are very confident that Ilkley people will certainly come and try some proper food crafted by very talented chefs??!!We wish to see you again and againKind regardsSachi

Visited Wells Bistro for dinner in Saturday night and we all loved it. It's a tiny place and almost felt like we were having dinner on our kitchen...in a good way! Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere and great food. Small portions but that's to be expected these in most places tbh. Will definitely be going back for smoked haddock scotch egg and sticky ginger pudding with marmalade ice cream!

Our first attempt to eat here saw us turned away as they were fully booked - even at mid-day! Two pre-booked visits later, the food is consistently excellent, tasty, varied and inventive; from snacks, to main courses and the cakes. A relaxed yet stylish cafe, with very friendly helpful service.
