Slow Food Kitchen — Restaurant in Bradford

FINALLY got round to coming here for a meal. Had to pre book our meals a week before and take our own alcohol which is a genius move on the proprietors part. Table booked for 7pm as was the others. When everyone sat down our meals began to arrive. Now, this is where we realised WHY it's called Slow Food Kitchen. Everybody in the restaurant gets their meals at the same time - the starters come out for every table, you eat, the plates are cleared then you wait for your main. The waiting times are longer than usual restaurants but, once you realise that this is the way this restaurant works, you don't care. All the mains came out together for all the tables then the desserts. You are then offered fresh coffee. The restaurant itself is beautiful. So small and intimate. An old LP playing in the corner and nice lighting. THE FOOD. As it's December its the Christmas menu. I chose the goats cheese wrapped in walnut pastry starter, beef suet main and sherry trifle for dessert. I thought the starter would be all pastry and a little cheese, nope, big wedge of cheese inside beautifully light walnut pastry. The suet - wow - thin suet crust absolutely rammed with the most gorgeous beef I've ever tasted. Not an ounce of fat. It was delicious. The trifle was beautiful, just a hint of sherry and a good size portion. It was £30 per person but it really was worth more. It's an entire evening's experience and we will definitely...

The restaurant was recommended and having walked past a few times in Skipton , I had booked for a Friday night. A small quaint place. We were taken through the menu basically all starters. Now we are not for big portions but really because the menu was starters/antipasta/meze/tapas most dishes were bread based. The German platter was a mix of deli meats and cheese I can get in Lidl and being part German - I was not impressed. The Turkish plate was a little more interesting with a lovely Dukka seasoning on the hummus but more bread and not very inspired . We then had mackerel with a bean stew. 10 beans in an insipid thin sauce that had no taste, and served on bread. Disappointing Customer toilets in the main kitchen divided by a thin curtain-I would say does not meet food hygiene regulations, and your receipt on a bit of handwritten paper. I would not...

The food was absolutely delicious. The flavours were incredibly complex and unique. The cheese souffle was like nothing I've ever tasted, simply delightful. Same for the delicate flavours of the sea bass and fennel jam and finally, as ice cream goes, the home made salted caramel ice cream in a gingersnap basket was quite simply divine. The welcome and hosting was lovely, such nice people. A great concept in dining and the cosy atmosphere was perfect. We had a such a great time and will be coming back for the lunch menu sometime and hopefully making a regular visit to try the monthly changing menu if we can manage to get booked in with how in demand they seem to be. Couldn't recommend this place more highly. All combined it really was one of the loveliest and most delicious meals I've had. Just how great, honest food...
