Harrogate's Top 10 Independent Eats
"‘Savoury, sweet and everything in between’ profess Crepe Affaire, and they’re not wrong. Based on the second floor of Trinity Leeds, this is a French restaurant centred around the honest pancake, whether you want it with lemon and sugar, Grand Marnier cognac, chicken and tarragon, feta and hummus, or even an all day breakfast. They also serve up smothered waffles, and oodles of ice cream if that’s your bag."
"When dining with children, a lunch that feels more like a party treat might be enough to tempt even the most reticent of young foodies. Cue Crepe Affaire, where everything on offer is, you guessed it, crepe-based. There are the sweet treats, like salted caramel, Oreo, peanut butter and Nutella, but don’t miss out on the savouries."
"They’re famous for their traditional Italian gelato, which comes in a range of weird and wonderful flavours. You can try the likes of Banana del Brasile and Dulce de Leche, all served up in epic style – their Conos promise a chocolate cone with your choice of flavours presented in the shape of a gelato flower. If you’re not feeling the ice cream, they also do waffles, macarons and crepes."
"This authentic Italian gelato spot is famous in Leeds and for good reason. Scoops come served in a chocolate cone, with gelato presented in the shape of a flower and the option to add on macarons. Find flavours like Banana del Brasile and Dulce de Leche here alongside more traditional choices."
"During the day, Afterz is the perfect place to get some refreshing ice cream with the kids. But, it’s also a late night cafe, which means you can go in and satisfy your midnight munchies with some incredible ice cream flavours – think Curly Wurly, Toffee Crisp and Skittles. That’s not all, as they do a pretty tempting menu of candy shakes, waffles and majoun, a Moroccan jelly-like sweet."
"This day to late-night cafe bar serves ice cream non-stop, making it just as perfect for midnight munchies as a trip in the day with the little ones. Order an epic knickerbocker glory-style sundae drenched in hundreds and thousands, or simply grab a few scoops in a tub. Flavours include the likes of Curly Wurly, Skittles and Toffee Crisp."
"They serve up traditional Italian gelato, and have loads of flavours. From mango to pistachio, Snickers to cookies and cream, you can mix and match up to four scoops. Want something a little bit more extravagant?"
"Gelato Passion have 20 different flavours of ice cream to choose from at their Beeston store and they’re all made fresh each day. Their most popular ones are bubblegum, cookies & cream, Oreo and Ferrero Rocher, or you can try something a little more unusual like Nutella or Milky Bar. Want a treat to go alongside your ice cream?"
"Whether you’re going for the energy of the open kitchen, or simply to have some great food and drinks, there’s fun for all the family at Gino’s. Spot the historic landmarks from the outside rooftop terrace as the sun sets over Harrogate, while you ponder over the generous menu options. Be quick, this place fills up fast when the sun makes an appearance."
"03/05/2021: We waited over an hour for our meals to arrive.Our steaks were hopelessly overcooked, dried up and looked like leather. Our granddaughter aged 7 asked me where her meatballs were - there were none at all. One star to acknowledge that they replaced the food and only charged for drinks I wish them luck for the future"
"Located in the Valley Gardens, enjoy lunch or ice cream with the kids after visiting the park. Valley Gardens Court, Valley Dr, Harrogate HG2 0JH"
"Offering a great selection of homemade cakes and coffee or even a picnic to take on your walk. Enjoy a short walk in Acomb Wood and Meadow Local Nature Reserve which is about a mile from Love to Eat. Or you could pop by Love to Eat after a visit to Askham Bog if you are in the car."

"Trinity Kitchen, 27 Albion St, Leeds, LS1 5ER - Visit now. Trinity Kitchen is the much-loved food hall of the Trinity Shopping Centre, except unlike the usual food hall you’ll find a bright buzzing atmosphere with bespoke and special food places like Tortilla, Chip + Fish, and Tikki’s Thai Kitchen."
"Trinity Kitchen is a street food wonderland in the heart of Leeds. Alongside a slew of permanent eateries, they bring in six new street food vendors every six weeks. In recent times, we’ve seen the likes of Doh Hut, Let’s Go Wild Boar and The Little Red Truck to name but a few."
"Having a hard time deciding where to go out to eat with your mates?. Head to Trinity Kitchen, where everyone can eat from a different food vendor in one place!. We highly recommend you explore the variety of food here!"
"A quirky pub nestled behind Kirkgate Market, Crowd of Favours has everything you need to keep your brood entertained. The traditional board games are ideal for a family face-off. It’s a popular choice (with both little and big kids alike), especially when they have their film nights, which range from Lord of the Rings to Harry Potter."
