This celebrated Yorkshire tearoom began life in Harrogate in 1919, when a Swiss restaurateur brought his Alpine pastries and chocolates to England. The welcoming interior has changed little since it first opened, and the extensive array of teas not at all. In addition to omelets, quiches, sandwiches, and traditional cakes and pastries, the menu ranges from the Dales (sausages) to the Alps (rösti), and there are now gluten-free options. A pianist plays nightly. Reservations are accepted only for weekend afternoon tea, served in the Imperial Room.

One of York's best restaurants is in a building that once served as a brothel, a past reflected in its murals featuring undraped women. The menu changes with the seasons and concentrates on local seafood. Typical dishes include pan-seared scallops with five-spice confit pork belly, roast stone bass with pumpkin puree and beetroot, and char-grilled fillet of venison with root vegetables and puy lentils. Downstairs are four intimate walled booths, and at street level is a lively candlelit room. The wine list is impressive, and the service couldn't be friendlier. The restaurant also has six self-contained apartments—called the Blue Rooms—in a courtyard to the rear.

This unpretentious family-run restaurant prides itself on not being trendy but nevertheless is regularly acclaimed as one of the best restaurants in Britain, let alone Yorkshire. With a constantly changing menu, it specializes in refined northern Italian dishes such as homemade ravioli with venison and spinach, as well as seafood specials using catches fresh off the boats in the harbor. Opt for seasonal specials incorporating white truffles or game (October through February) or locally sourced vegetables. With only 30 seats, it books up quickly.

Seafood is the draw here, and the long menu includes freshly caught salmon, haddock, halibut, and cod—all of which can be grilled or poached—plus Lindisfarne oysters. But the crowds come for the outstanding traditional fish-and-chips. The food is good, and fans say it's worth the wait, which can stretch to an hour on busy nights.

Cars belonging to diners at this chef-owned country inn often fill the hidden away hamlet of Hetton five miles north of Skipton, such is the reputation of this highly regarded, Michelin-starred gastro-pub par excellence located in an early-18th-century building with contemporary decor and views across the Dales. Specializing in locally sourced seasonal food, such as beautifully prepared roast lamb, beef, and seafood, the restaurant features three-course fixed-price menus for lunch and a seven-course tasting menu for dinner, as well as à la carte options. The ancient stone barn conversion across the road has five well-equipped guest rooms, with another four contemporary bedrooms in a more modern building.

The peaceful rural location of this restaurant with rooms in the scenic Nidderdale Valley belies the sophistication of its distinctive cooking: it has been consistently rated as one of the top five dining spots not only in Yorkshire, but in the United Kingdom. It won its Michelin star with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients, creative combinations of flavors, and elegant presentations. The main restaurant offers eight (£105) and five (£75)-course tasting menus with entrees like rabbit with morel and wild garlic. The more informal "Little Dining Room" has a daily-changing selection based on locality and seasonality, with starters like a scallops, crab, and truffled cheese brioche and main courses like halibut with herb linguine and ceps. The dessert selection is fabulous, so save room. The restaurant is housed in a building that is partially medieval, dating to the 11th century (the monks of nearby Fountains Abbey made cheese in the cellar), and partially an 18th-century coaching inn. The 16 rooms are spacious and charming, and four are modern courtyard rooms.

Perfectly positioned at the bottom of the village, this friendly retreat dating to 1828 looks out from atop a seawall to dramatic views of the North Sea (if you can get a coveted window table) and has a warming open fireplace in winter. The reasonably priced menu leans towards well-prepared traditional pub grub and fresh seafood like Whitby scampi or crab and lemon salad. There are three B&B rooms upstairs.

Betty's has been a York institution since 1936. The decor—inspired by the art deco ocean liner the Queen Mary—the dessert trollies, and the solicitous white-aproned staff all contribute to an impression of stepping back in time to a more genteel era. An excellent afternoon tea is served in the café downstairs; breakfast and light lunches are served in the Oak Room upstairs, where you can see the mirror inscribed by the RAF air aces who dined here during WWII. An in-house store sells a range of specialty coffees and teas, plus pastries and old-fashioned sweets like rose and violet creams.

This cozy inn in an 18th-century building on the outskirts of an unspoiled country village is traditional but not fussy, with open fireplaces, original oak beams, and windows that look out to panoramic views of the Dales. The food, which incorporates local ingredients whenever possible, offers similar traditional comforts. Main courses include smoked haddock on a bed of crushed new potatoes and baked monkfish in a tomato, garlic, and ginger sauce as well as traditional pub grub like homemade puff pastry-topped meat, fish pies, or local sausage with mash. The craft beer selection is outstanding. The inn's six rooms are simple but comfortable. Just to confuse things, there's a Shoulder of Mutton pub in Middleton Tyas, also outside Richmond, that serves highly regarded pub food, and another one near Harrogate.

Churches aren't just for services, as this 15th-century house of worship proves. Resurrected as a cafeteria (there's also a café on the upper floor) using fresh local ingredients, Spurriergate is a favorite spot for both tourists and locals to refuel spiritually (you can request use of the prayer room upstairs) as well as physically. You may end up eating beef casserole on the spot where John Wesley prayed in 1768. Don't pass up the cream scones.

With a Michelin-starred chef whose family farm is right down the road, this former drover's inn has a high reputation among foodies that belies its secluded location in a small Yorkshire village. Menus are based on what is available from the nearby garden or can be foraged locally; even cocktails include fruits and herbs made into alcohol with wood sorrel replacing lemons and limes. The 12-course dinner tasting menu changes daily but might include mains like monkfish with chanterelles and whey or venison in a smoked sloe sauce and desserts like root vegetable panettone. There are no à la carte options, although there is a smaller tasting menu at Saturday lunch. You can stay over in one of the nine comfortable bedrooms, although only single-night bookings are available.
