Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Yorkshire right now.
Yorkshire is known for hearty food, though bacon-based breakfasts and lunches of pork pies do tend to pale fairly quickly. Increasingly, the larger towns and cities, particularly Leeds, have developed a foodie scene of sorts. Indian restaurants (often called curry houses) can be very good in northern cities. Out in the countryside, pubs are your best bet for dining. Many serve excellent home-cooked food and locally reared meat (especially lamb) and vegetables. Roast beef dinners generally come with Yorkshire pudding, the tasty, puffy, oven-baked dish made from egg batter known as a popover in the United States. It's generally served with lots of gravy. Be sure to sample local cheeses, especially Wensleydale, which has a delicate flavor and honey aftertaste.
This family-friendly Yorkshire take on an American steak house is bright and modern, with an emphasis on locally sourced food, particularly slow-roasted rotisserie meats and traditional steaks. Specialties include beer-braised brisket, baby back barbecue ribs, grilled steak from local herds, and, of course, burgers. Fish eaters and even vegetarians are catered for with dishes like seafood linguine or a superfood salad.
