Eating and drinking in Ilkley
There is a wide variety of places to eat-out in Ilkley, from Indian to Thai, bistro to traditional; these are just a few that have been tried ! Unfortunately, the Farsyde, which was highly recommended by everyone, has closed and been replaced by the Moody Cow, which doesn’t sound so good – we await a review !
La Casita
La Casita offers an authentic Spanish tapas menu in a charming, atmospheric interior which is, itself, in a Victorian arcade.

Bar T’at
Ikley boasts two independent breweries and a popular annual beer festival, so it is natural that it should also have two very good real ale bar/pubs. Bar T’at is a bar with a wide range of beers mainly from northern independent breweries plus some select European beers. They also serve excellent meals until 9.00pm (6.00pm on Sundays).

The Flying Duck
The other real ale pub in Ilkley is The Flying Duck, home of Wharfedale Brewery. Housed in Ilkley’s oldest pub building, which dates back to the early 16oo’s, it serves nine real cask ales (not all from Wharfedale Brewery) plus ciders and European bottled beers. Food is served during the day but not in the evening.
