Waterside Bistro - Shipley

They work exceptionally, and I mean extraordinary. beautiful location next to the canal and beautiful industrial facility. the service was excellent when we entered through the door. honored by a beautiful man who sat us and even pulled out our chairs. he was incredibly nice to explain the background of the restaurant and the ethos behind the good. wein was excellent and, perhaps a strange comment, it is strange how fast they get fussy over glasses and they were excellent. I had a sous vide entenei on hamhock and it was cooked to perfection. wonderful balance of smokey aromas with a thick and creamy egg yolk. followed was venison from a local plot with potato terrine and other vegetables. the venison was so incredible, just melted. barely chew. amazing quality. actually the best poisoning I've ever had. rhubarb fool to finish. again excellent, sharp cut through the sweet. at the end of the meal the cook came out to talk about the tasting menus he puts on and the English weeping he promotes. they cost us about 90 for two and this included wein. they have to pay for quality and it was worth every penny. I use the word exceptionally economical and it fits this place perfectly. I think that eating and the service here fits to the likes of home, bibi’s, piccolinos, all still solid favorites of me. and I would say one of the best meals I had for one. very warmly recommend a visit. we go back to your English wine and tasting menu at night. so we went back to the tasting menu. each cure was exquisitely designed to have balanced aromen and, as they can see on the photos, looked stunning. but some critiken. the portions were also small for a tasting menu. smallest we had in a certain degree. Secondly, the food server did not know what they served, which was disappointed. we wanted to get back to absolutely, because the quality was on site. Maybe a bigger lunch would eat before.

So great to find a resto in the opposite, which concentrates on fresh, locally grown and produced foods that are cooked according to the highest standards. I had coley made with a beautiful burned skin with a beautiful moist texture — perfectly cooked. the wine selection was varied with many good red and white through the glass. definitiw will return. a local gem.

If you live in Leeds, you are missing out if you don't visit this hidden gem of a restaurant in Shipley. The owner is a lovely man and his son in law chef who trained under Marco Pierre White is a talent who should be both recognised and applauded. Delicious food, beautifully cooked, can't recommend enough.

A warm welcome and a relaxing atmosphere, a pleasure to dine here. The food was delicious, more menu options than the website menu showed. Each dish had a great mix of flavours, well thought through and very tasty. Covid wise tables are set apart, there is a one way system through the restaurant and you wear a mask to the table and also if using the facilities.

This was our second visit to this hidden gem of a restaurant. Our party of four were once again wholly impressed by the service, food and friendliness of the staff. When I booked I was asked for any dietary constraints which was a nice surprise as the majority don’t ask. I said we would require one gluten free and one vegetarian meal. No problem they assured me. Our meal was superb and at every course our waiter assured us my friends food was gluten free. As this was our first meet-up since before lockdown we had lots to catch up on and spent a good three hours chatting, eating and drinking and laughing! It was great, we weren’t rushed even after the kitchen closed and we were the only ones left. Thank you again for a five star experience, we’ll be back!
