Box Tree Restaurant
££££•British•4.9(1,427)Please note we now only offer a tasting menu for all reservations.
This small renowned restaurant in the heart of Ilkley was founded in 1962. It was the first 2 Michelin Starred restaurant outside of London and for over 60 years has continued to be at the forefront of northern Gastronomy.
The modern British menu and extensive wine cellar offer food lovers an unforgettable experience. The kitchens commitment to the best, freshest ingredients, with an emphasis on locally sourced, fresh ingredients from farmers and local suppliers.
The Box Tree represents a combination between 21st century efficiency and exquisite good taste. Whilst the kitchen boasts the latest equipment, the restaurant features a collection of art and antiques which define the style and luxury for which the Box Tree is famed.Forde Ilkley
££££•British•4.8(284)Horsforth-born Matt Healy, known from MasterChef: The Professionals, is excited to announce he’s expanding with a new restaurant in Ilkley while continuing his work in Horsforth.
Matt’s ‘food to swear by’ brand has become a favourite in the Leeds dining scene, earning recognition with a 2024Michelin Plate for the 3rd consecutive year and a mention in The Good Food Guide. Now, he's bringing the same style of modern British cooking to Ilkley.
MasterChef judge Marcus Wareing once described Matt’s sauces as “some of the best he had ever tasted,” and Jay Rayner’s review in The Guardian simply stated, “Bloody hell, that’s good” (though not in those exact words).
With this new Ilkley opening, Matt and his experienced team are looking forward to serving up great food and service, both in Ilkley and back home in Horsforth.

- JJudithYorkshire •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI always enjoy a visit to Betty’s be it in Ilkley or Harrogate. I have a son who lives in Istanbul and who will not return unless he has had a visit to Betty’s so we have to arrange which day we plan to go before any other plans are made! Betty’s is definitely the best place to go to for an enjoyable day out.More infoBettys Ilkley££££• Café• Bradford•4.8
