The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

Ate at the Dome as part of a relaxing Spa day. Entering in our robe and slippers, we stood for quite some time before the waitress came over and looked confused then said unless the system has updated she didn’t have us booked in. No drinks brought to the table after ordering. The 2 course lunch (included in our package) = disappointing. £14 for a small chicken & bacon Caesar salad with precooked bacon and chicken chunks. Poor end to a fabulous day.

The Priory restaurant at Burythorpe house offered us a marvellous lunch in every respect. The food was excellently cooked and presented. My starter of treacle-cured salmon with ginger dressing was refreshing and arranged beautifully on the plate with a type of rice cracker creation. Both our main courses were simple but cooked to perfection with fine attention to detail. I hope the chefs read this review. For dessert my partner had a sticky toffee pudding and said it was amazing, the best he had ever tested and I had a hard job keeping my hands off it, except mine was just as good - a ginger cake with rhubarb and white chocolate. It's hard to explain the depth of flavour, but in the case of the ginger cake, it came from contrasting textures and colours. For example, the fresh stewed rhubarb was accompanied by pureed rhubarb dressing the balls of white chocolate and little pieces of dried rhubarb creating a chewie, nuttier background flavour. These guys really know what they are doing. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and offered perfect service. The interior is elegant and unpretentious country house style. From the dining room we looked out onto fields with a church just visible in the distance. We will definitely go again. This place is only about 10 minutes drive from Malton and offers a far superior dining experience to more local pubs and restaurants.

Amazing cakes & scones, & the coffee is great! Well worth a visit Can not recommend enough, they definitely went out of their way to help when we had an issue with our accommodation - thank you so much Will definitely visit again when back up in Yorkshire

We were wandering around Malton looking for somewhere to enjoy a spot of lunch and stumbled across the Spotted Cow, which is right next to the old cattle market pens. We decided to give it a try and we’re so pleased we did. It’s an amazing 16th century building with oak beams and looks very original and unspoilt. We ordered the “Fish and Chips” which were excellent. Crispy batter on the fish and chips cooked thoroughly unlike some places who tend to under cook them, with a side of mushy peas. The prices are very reasonable and it’s good value for money. The owners are new and have only been at the helm for 3 weeks. If they regularly serve up lovely food like this, they’ll do well and we hope it works out for them. On our positive experience today, we’d highly recommended trying the Spotted Cow and don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Had the best cake and ice cream from here. Seriously tasty cake and the service was lovely. It’s in a handy part of town just down goodramgate and the whole place from outside in is really authentic Well worth a visit!

A lovely friendly bakery, just one wee table to sit and and have a coffee and observe the comings and goings of the regulars, the holiday makers and day trippers. Bread and cakes wonderful, a lovely lady owns this place and I wish her well!

Prepared in front of us. Lovely friendly owners. Great tasting fish and chips, still piping hot after a 5 min drive home. Thank you!!

maybe an off day or new staff? Coffee completely undrinkable, I’m not a diva but this was truly horrid- surely coffee isn’t so difficult to do? Tables sticky, horrible smell of sewage. Truly the worst cafe experience. All I wanted was to come in out of the rain!!

I asked for lightly done bacon it was so cooked it snapped one piece of bacon 1 saug and 3slices of mushroom in a bread bun for 4quid absolute rip off we got take away coz we were in a rush waited nearly 20mins for butties will never use it again The girl who served us was lovely and couldnt say sorry enough for the long wait

Lovely relaxed atmosphere , beautiful surroundings, relaxing music makes for a chill down place ,love it! Lovely staff , gorgeous food ,so well presented. Really enjoyed myself . Would visit again .

A celebration meal for 33. The room was partioned off so we had the window side of the room as planned. From start to finish what an excellent time we all had. The food was well presented, hot and tasty and good sized portions with plenty veg and gravy etc in good supply. The whole team have been amazing through out. The tables were positioned, dressed and laid with thought and care. Nothing was too much trouble to them. Our unforseen last minute changes were catered for without any problem. The room was lovely and warm on arrival and comfortable throughout. With 4 young children in the group we had a wonderful relaxed time. The use of the side bar worked perfectly. We were able to mingle and mix before we ate and after without being rushed. What a perfect day we had. Cannot sing the teams praises enough. Highly recommend this as a venue for everyone. In all the years we have used this venue, whether for an evening do, buffet food or whatever, its brilliant team have never left us wanting for anything. Some of our contingency came from away and were suitably impressed at what a gem of a place this still is for all of the above reasons as well as its accesibility/parking and facilities.

**Worst customer service i have ever received.** I firstly visited to get a voucher on behalf of my grandparents. My grandpa had spoke to them on the phone who said we would have to specially come in for a voucher: as they are not local me and my sister went in. We were told on the day we couldn’t get a voucher that day and would have to come back as there was a private event on later in the evening- we were spoken to in a rude way and simply rushed out the resteraunt. I can understand if they were busy, however at this point there were simply two customers in the premesis. This issue was dealt with over messages in a professional way and my sister managed to pick up the voucher. We thought everything was sorted. However, 2 weeks from this when a booking was tried to be made, I was informed that my mum was told’l Ah yes! Sorry I've been waiting to finalise things with the landlord of the cross keys before announcing publicly what's happening. But yes you definitely will be able to use your existing gift voucher in the new venue. As for time frame, I am waiting to hear back from the architect and builder about the quoted price I'm hoping to hear back on Tuesday next week. From there it should be a couple of months to get turned around!’ She then asked if there was a sistering resteraunt and that this response seemed awfully vague. To this she was told ‘ Not at the moment, I am looking at doing something in another pub in the meanwhile between the cross keys and the new project though!’. The website is now no longer accessible either. To sum this up- uovo no longer exists for the time being and they aren’t sure when the new premises will even be ready to have the dining back up and running. I am just disappointed that the company allowed us to purchase a voucher of £120, most likely knowing the future of the business; it would have just been easier if they had told us this so we could have spent that money with a business where a meal would have been able to be booked. Luckily we have been refunded but the way this was done was even more shocking. The response both me and my sister received was so unprofessional and cold. I am still in shock about the messages we received: my sister was certainly not rude and i know for a fact these messages were sent as they had been caught out for taking people’s money wrongly. I am just grateful we have been refunded. I honestly wouldn’t have felt the need to share this publicly until we received the messages we did today. So incredibly shocked and disappointed.

Busy around the cafés so decided to try Munch...what a great decision! The best sandwiches and service I've had for ages. Such fresh ingredients and the softest breadcakes ever😊😊

Mi amigo y yo visitamos como sabemos que este lugar es el único lugar para conseguir comida en esta parte de la ciudad todo el día hasta las 5 de la tarde, ambos ordenados pinini que era servido con una guarnición de ensalada y precioso un puñado de patatas fritas las rústicas. Esto era más que suficiente para una comida ligera, mi amigo comenzó a sentir mal y necesitamos volver a casa para medicamentos, la señora amablemente envuelto nuestro medio comer comidas, así que podías llevar con nosotros. Excelente servicio y amable miembro del personal. He comido aquí antes y siempre satisface el apetito con una comida muy sabrosa.

Popped in for Tea and Cakes, very large fruit scone, terrific cheesecake. Helpful friendly staff, sits about 30 so not large, just friendly and cosy. Very reasonably prices. Will happily return for lunch sometime, vegetarian friendly and licensed bar. Attached garden centre well worth a wander around.
