Restaurants in Halifax

Old Gate Bar & Restaurant

The service was great
The atmosphere was cosy and buzzy
I had the beef brisket special with the horseradish mash - spectacular and Mrs R loved the pork roast
When you dine in these top notch places , you realise how poor. Plain and over - priced some places are

Gio's Italian Bar and Kitchen

Best Italian in the area…fabulous food, amazing service and delicious cocktails..sorry there’s no pictures to back this up but we were starving and it was too delicious to mess about ?

Los Pampas Brazilian Steakhouse

Absolutely brilliant reeta especially totally looked after us all and the food was amazing definitely come back again. The staff are very attentive so professional

Sapore

We have been meaning to come for ages but with the road works it was just a nightmare to get to it and it seemed to be closed a lot. But we tried here for the first time last night, and we absolutely loved it, lovely authentic Italian food, I’m Italian myself so I know good Italian food! The atmosphere was nice, the service was spot on and very reasonable prices, we will be regulars from now on x

True North

The short review about True North is that we can not find fault. Simple as. 6 of us dined here on Saturday 7th of February. We were originally going to be a table of 4, but happened to meet 2 other members of our family who had booked to eat here unbeknown to us. After asking the young man who greeted us at the door if it would be possible to enable our 2 family members to join us and make it a table of 6 he checked and with no more hesitation he had us seated at a great table. From then on the food and drink served to us was excellent. 4 of our party had the fillet steak which was the best we have had. Great quality, quantity and cooked to perfection. Thank you to the chef/chefs. All this was served by some of the politest, most helpful servers you could wish for. The restaurant is clean, modern and spacious. Plenty of room between tables. True North must rank as one of, if not the best restaurants in Halifax and the surrounding area. Well worth a try. I do not think you will be disappointed.

KAYA’S GRILL:TURKISH RESTAURANT

I spent New Year's Eve in a warm and welcoming atmosphere with perfect food. With the owner's permission, I visited the kitchen, and I can say with full confidence that it is one of the cleanest and most well-organized kitchens I have ever seen.
The food was flawless and prepared with great professionalism by Chef Edy.
I would recommend everyone to visit this wonderful restaurant, which is managed by a couple who are truly dedicated to their work.

The New Inn

A great traditional pub with a warm welcome and a local feel. We arrived too late to eat, but saw that the New Inn is very popular for food and has a menu that caters for vegetarian/vegan as well as ???. We will definitely be back - and recommend this place to anyone that appreciates a traditional setting and a friendly team who work hard yet have time for their customers.

There is a lovely strip of grass around the perimeter with solid and level picnic tables, overlooking great views of the hills and towns below.

Dog friendly (and treat-ready!) although limited area where your furry companions can be inside. There is a covered area (used by smokers) at the back with the lovely views. It’s home to the friendly resident cat, so please be considerate ?

Well worth a visit!

Elland Craft & Tap Micropub

We love this place! It's a really good, friendly local place. If you're happy to get involved in conversation with others, sit in the main bar area. If you want a bit more quiet or privacy, then there are two rooms upstairs.
It's a popular spot so does get busy & noisy.
Lots of great beers to choose from and they have just received a CAMRA award. I didn't give it full stars though, because as a cider drinker my choices never seem to change. Standard wherever I go though. Fortunately, I like the choices offered.
Very dog friendly venue. They host a quiz night mid-week and offer free room hire for local groups, so really invested in the community.

Mr T’s Halifax

Came to Mr t’s and the lady at the till Faten was really nice, had the best customer service and made the overall experience enjoyable. I have never come here before and because of her i would like to come back.

Cafe Passion

Great food and helpful owner. Ordered Tiger King Prawn grill, Iskender donner and lamb kofte. Lots of sides, sauces and salad. Just wish there wasn’t 90’s pop music playing ?
Think better with Turkish authenticity in music.

J u l i o ' s

It’s been a couple of years since our last visit but we wasn’t disappointed. Servers were attentive, food was excellent. We won’t leave it as long next time before visiting again.

Totem

Good choice of food, we had booked for one for downstairs but arrived early. This wasn't a problem, we chose to eat outside. Good service, mainly one person dealing with orders, coffee/refreshments and service but he managed it. Would recommend.

Pollino

Amazing food and service! Our main server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and made a fantastic recommendation. We really enjoyed the steak board—it was a highlight. My little one had the lasagne, which was also delicious. And the dessert? 10/10!

Spice Delight Restaurant & Bar

⭐ A Culinary Masterpiece – Absolutely Outstanding! ⭐

From the moment I walked into Spice Delight, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the incredible aromas instantly made me excited for the meal ahead. Every dish was bursting with flavour, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Each bite was better than the last!

The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience feel memorable. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers both outstanding food and excellent service, but Spice Delight exceeded all expectations.

Without a doubt, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Halifax. If you’re looking for delicious food, a fantastic atmosphere, and service that goes above and beyond, Spice Delight is the place to be. I can’t wait to return!

Yates - Halifax

It's a good place for a cheap pint ? Great selection of beers on tap. Extensive menu at a reasonable price, follow the mixer app....gets you points and a bonus pint once in a while!!

The Booth Wood Inn

What a gem of a find. We struggled to find somewhere for good, wholesome food, mid week. We headed here purely as it was offering food from midday. Immediately welcomed, great beer fantastic choice of food and the quality of the meals were as fabulous. Staff genuinely ace and great at what they do. If this place was on my doorstep I’d be struggling to pay my bills! I’d be here every day.

Ayubowan Restaurant - Halifax

A real find. An absolutely wonderful meal and cant speak highly enough of the meal. Full of flavour and some real gems in that. The Pea and Nut curry was wonderful, as was the Nasi Goreng. Great dining experience and would definitely be back. Really friendly staff as well

Upper George

When I walked into the upper George I was blown away by how friendly it was.
However I was incredibly shocked to see that the Assistant Manager was eating a dry crumpet, untoasted in the beer garden and without shame. It's a very diverse staff team too for example the Landlord is a Leprechaun and they have even employed a welsh person and not only that they let him wear people clothes.
The beer is okay but they don't have wobbly bob anymore and haven't stocked owt from the Orkney brewery ever.

RICCI'S PLACE

Our first time this evening at Ricci’s and it was outstanding. Good quality food, good prices, lots of choice on the menu, friendly staff. Will definitely be back to this gem

The Winterburn

We were there for lunch on a Sunday. I made a mistake a booked for the wrong day but they were very accommodating. The food was lovely and very reasonable, plus they are dog friendly. I also really appreciated all the gluten free options including fish and chips and pudding! Will definitely be back! I’m so happy to have found this place

Pizza Hut

My 1st time visiting here and I enjoyed myself so much with the buffet. Attended to by Sam and Amelia, such lovely staff. They were polite to attend to all of our needs. I would come again

The Maypole Inn

Really good hospitality. The food was proper pub grub. My wife and I both had the steak pie. Load off tender beef pieces and a delicious ale gravy. Great value for the money

Thai Style

My favourite place to go in halifax, love going in especially sitting in the greenery area absolutely love it. Food is always amazing and the service 10/10 will enjoy this place forever

The Murg

We held our after wedding meal here. The food was superb, the service second to none, nothing was too much trouble. I wish we lived closer to make it our local! Fabulous

Bardolinos

Bardolinos has become a favourite of ours because we can rely on a good experience - great food, coffee, service and a nice atmosphere for a peaceful meal. We like to go for brunch and our favourite is the Croque Madame - having tried this elsewhere on several occasions, nowhere does it quite as good.

Vine Bar

Love this place! Great cocktails! Oh and a pint of beer is also available ?? Friendly and helpful service make this my go to place in West Vale! ? UPDATED 2026 - Now doing food...menu looks one to sample next visit ? Returned and had the chilli ? bowl ? WOW was delicious ?

Next Level

We had a lovely time thankyou!! We didn’t catch the name of the lady but we came on tuesday the 21st and she was serving us from 6:30-8:30 she was absolutely brilliant, so friendly and had a conversation with us for ages. Proper asset to the place she’s brilliant!! The food was lovely too ?

The Sun Inn at Lightcliffe

Had use of the upstairs room for a stag party at the weekend and the service was fantastic! The communication leading up to the day was second to none and Lauren couldn’t have done anymore to help organise the afternoon. The staff on the day were equally as amazing and were extremely patient and accommodating of such a large group.

There was a good range of drinks on offer and the food was excellent too.

There was also a very warm and friendly atmosphere throughout the whole pub.

Many thanks to Lauren and team.

Tasty Bites

Very fast efficient service. Always a smile when you walk through the door. Food never over or under cooked. Burgers are fantastic, makes the golden arches look silly. Pizzas are on par with other main street establishments. Visit time and time again.

Sportsmans Inn

It doesn't look fancy, but there's a lot of heart here. The first thing that strikes you is the attentive and friendly service, all regular guests are greeted by their first name and are served exactly what they want, no questions asked. The food is hearty and tasty and the portions large. Can only recommend a visit to the Sportsmans Inn to anyone who is in these parts.

The Causeway Foot

This is both a great locals pub & a lovely restaurant. With a vast choice of good food the service was excellent but unobtrusive. Portions are huge, fantastic quality and prices very reasonable. We'll be back for sure

K Ø B E N H A V N

Great bar with an extensive range of beers and ales along with lots of other drinks. Has a nice outdoor seating area as well as plenty of seating inside, staff are very friendly and the place has a great atmosphere. New food offering is also very good. Definitely one of the best bars in Halifax and a must go to if you're visiting

The Stump Cross Inn

We came to Halifax for the weekend & found this little gem, we were made to feel welcome by the friendly staff, we didn't book, but they seated us with no problems. I went for the special, which was a Jerk Chicken Burger, this was delicious! My partner asked to make substitutes to the lasagna sides from chips & salad to mash and veg, which they changed with no issues. Lovely pub, would definitely return.

Food and drinks: Food was delicious and reasonably priced.

White Horse Inn

A bit of a hidden gem having driven past on numerous occasions I decided to give it a go. It didn't disappoint. A good sized menu available and the food (I did the steak pie for a main) was served hot and at a generous portion. The puds were also deliciously sweet and moreish! A great selection of beers on tap and a wide range of wines and spirits are also unavailable. Ample free off street parking makes this place one to return to very soon.

The Ivy House

G behind the bar is a straight up G!
Nikki the helper is really good
Max is the man for any issues or problems and will sort them immediately.
Owens alright in small doses.

Overall great experience every time. Back most nights of the week.

See you tomorrow G

The Old Brandy Wine

Brandy wine. Never gets old after 30 odd years its still as welcoming to weary travellers. The draft guiness has got to be the best in Calderdale always creamy and goes down a treat.

THE WINE BARREL • THE PIECE HALL

Superb bar centrally located in the Piece hall with amazing staff who are very welcoming. Love spend time sitting in the piece hall with a beer. Can't Recommend enough. Will Definity return

The Pack Horse

Coffee @ Number 1

We didn't actually end up eating here as they'd stopped serving food, but the lady behind the counter was very helpful and gave us suggestions of where we could go instead. The cakes looked good too!

The Village Pantry

I recently had a wonderful breakfast at The Village Pantry in Halifax, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Everything was cooked to perfection - nothing was burnt or dry, unlike other places I've been to. The quality and care put into the meal were evident with every bite. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Although I didn't take any photos this time, I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in Halifax. Highly recommended!

Nando's Halifax

Went for something to eat on a Thursday lunchtime, the place was really empty but we were greeted warmly by the young lady working.
We’ve been before so we knew the process but we were able to order and receive our order quickly.
The food was the usual good standard you would expect from Nando’s, and generally reasonably priced. No reason for us not to visit again.

Casa Pizza

Excellent takeaway! This place also does fabulous gluten free pizzas - would highly recommend. Always friendly when we collect and every delivery driver has always been lovely too. Great local takeaway!

Dario's Pizza

This has been my go to for deep pan pizza for 22 years. Whether it’s delivered or I pick it up it’s always fresh and tasty. I like the detail you can adjust your order to means if you wanted to save some and reheat it’s not overcooked to. Staff are always helpful and it’s great that you can buy vouchers.

Seraj Indian

The pizza was decent seraj special whith stuff crust but the biryani was disgusting Mrs didn't like it at all so won't be ordering the biryani again stick to pizza and chicken that sit but pizza has changed compared to how it used to be

Frangoz

I have ordered 3 time this place which means different meals today night I had chicken peri peri wrap' the best food.

THE THREE PIGEONS ALE HOUSE

Brilliant service and location 5 mins from the train station,, staff were lovely and drinks were well priced the steak pie to go was delicious too,, a much better place to wait for the train ?,, x

The Wainhouse Tavern

Seemed friendly enough. They have a pool table and a good selection of drinks and spirits to choose from. We went for the curry night, but no food was being served, so we went elsewhere. Bar staff were pleasant. We will be returning

Long Can Hall

My my first visit along with a few work colleagues for some drinks and food on a Friday afternoon in May, (most of whom have been before). A great place with a frequently changing menu, good quality and value. Drinks were comoetively priced (which makes a change for a gastro pub), great beer garden with views and the building itself is fascinating. Will come again if in the area.

Big Six Inn, Halifax

A marvellous welcoming traditional pub in an urban terrace, with personable staff and very friendly locals. When I visited, the Big Six had a very good range of real ales, and all were in top condition. I'm very much looking forward to my next visit to Halifax, West Yorkshire.

Pajaree's

First visit here and can’t recommend Pajarees enough. Lovely lady, great food and all cooked fresh. Booking only I believe but well worth it super affordable and excellent quality.

The Bottomleys Arms

We came in for food, despite them being busy with a party and people already eating, they accommodated a table for two for me and my partner. My partner has tried this pub before and loved it and told me we both should go. The atmosphere is great you can tell it is run by a very loved family. The food was amazing I had a Chicken Caesar Salad. The staff was lovely especially the younger ones well done girls. Would definitely recommend this gem!!

Stretchgate Fisheries

The best fish and chips I’ve had in ages. The fish was fresh full of flavour. The chips were cooked to perfection and the gravy was so creamy and tasty. Highly recommended

HIRDS FAMILY FISHERIES • Award Winning Fish & Chips

We where visiting the area on our way home from holiday. We stumbled across this little Fish & Chip bar. What can I say they are best Fish & Chips I have tasted in a long time. The staff very friendly, service was fast.
If you are in the area, pay these guys a visit, you won't be disappointed!!
Amazing!!

My go to takeaway and has been for years! Absolutely amazing and the staff are so kind and cater to my gluten free diet due to dietary requirements. Never had an issue, food is delicious and delivery is reasonably fast! Recommend to all my family and friends, our favourite! No wonder why it’s always so busy.

The Duke William

Went for the bottomless brunch. A little hiccup when we arrived but not a problem. We had drinks before we were seated and Dom couldn't do enough for us. Loads of cocktails prosecco spirits to choose and the food eas delicious. Laughed all afternoon and would deffo go again 10/10

Damien was very welcoming and seemed well respected with the customer's.Damian is Proper bar tender (shirt and tie) a true gent who was happy to help complete my work.Food from the kitchen looked fresh and tasty...

Munchies Cafe

Had another lovely buffet, for our Daughters engagement last night. Can truly recommend. Food plentiful all fresh and very well presented. Lisa goes over and above to make sure all your needs are catered for. Would definitely recommend Munchies for any event.Thsnk you Lisa &

The Feathers

The dj that’s here is absolutely amazing. Couldn’t be more friendly. As part of the lgbtq+ he was amazing didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. The entire pub was friendly and made me feel home

Westvale Fisheries

My favourite chippy in Calderdale. Always cooked fresh in beef dripping, just as they should be. Haddock is always of the best quality and the batter is always a perfect crisp. Portions are generous too. All the above count every time I go which isn’t often but it proves consistency in my opinion.

Dhesi Karahi Grill

Ordered food from Just Eat. Arrived in good time and was hot. Everything was delicious and the man delivering was very polite and courteous. I called forward to ask for some cutlery as staying in an air b&b. The order contained forks and spoons. Great service and food from start to finish. Really great authentic food. Thank you.

The Fountain Head Inn

The most tastiest breakfast around with a great price tag £6 for a small inc a. Brew and toast the Sunday lunch is delicious for £5 including meat roast potatoes Yorkshire pudding and 4 different vegetables definitely a place to sample home made delicious food

Little LOTUS

Had an amazing experience at little lotus today, this lovely British lady served me with the nicest smile and was able to hold a great conversation with me without it feeling two sided at all. I asked for the chicken katsu to take out which was packed to the brim to where the lid was almost squashed on. Lovely place, great portioning and even better customer service I will be returning regularly.

Your Secret Gourmet

I'd highly recommend this quaint little cafe- the service was impeccable and reasonably priced too. It was a lovely pit stop for me and my partner on our walk.

The Duke Of Wellington

Absolutely lovely food generous portions too staff manager very warm and professional bar staff helpful and pleasant couldn't do enough for us definitely come again the homemade soup delicious thankyou guys ?

Domino's Pizza - Halifax

As a rare treat I got a large Domino’s pizza, a Meateor customised with hot honey and extra cheese. I can honestly say this is was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever tasted and the service was beyond fast. Absolutely delighted and compliments to the team! Keep up the good work!

Shoulder Of Mutton

Nice local pub. Staff are really friendly, plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy in the warmer weather and small playground for the kids to enjoy. Good selection of drinks and bar snacks.

Ring O' Bells

Great pub, good beer and the pie and peas were amazing. A great traditional pub, well worth a visit. Very close to Halifax railway station and the town centre.

The landlady was fantastic. She served pie, peas and mint sauce (£6.00 with a pint) that were top notch!

At least three real ales on here and the one we had was very good.

Would highly recommend!

Costa Coffee

Came here for the first time in months, and the staff remembered my order straight away and were very kind, friendly and approachable. The drink was very good and the atmosphere is very welcoming and comfortable to have a drink. I recommend visiting.

N O C O • PIZZA & PROSECCO

I ordered some takeaway pasta which is the best pasta I’ve had in a very long time. The staff were efficient and courteous. It did take about 10-15 mins for them to get the pasta ready but since it was prepared fresh then it’s worth the wait. Would definitely call again

Greggs

This Greggs is small and unaccessible to wheelchair users due to a step by the door. The staff are mostly polite but unfortunately one did charge me for cream on a specialty drink which they shouldn't have, however this was a 1 off issue

The Barum Top Inn

It's a spoons pub so as you would expect the building has character to it, the food choices are varied and well priced as are the drinks. All in all no reason not to go!
