Best Contemporary British Restaurants in Knaresborough

We had a very relaxing breakfast. The waitress was especially cheerful and even gave us some of her marmalade!😋

Fine dining at its best a real treat and experience

Perfect start to my day! Welcome greetings at the door were friendly and courteous. As requested upon booking, a quiet breakfast table had been reserved which was just perfect. The waiting staff were friendly, helpful and very professional, nothing was too much trouble and specific requests were met promptly. The food, as always, was delicious. My portion of scrambled eggs and smoked salmon was a little on the large side for me but I did add granary toast as an accompaniment and polished off the entire portion out of greed! My friend had poached eggs with avocado and hollandaise which looked perfectly cooked. Food presentation was impeccable. Service was faultless. One thing I love about The Ivy is the table linen! I’m a stickler for traditions, there’s nothing nicer than sitting down to eat good food at a table that is properly dressed and a decent napkin on your knee. The atmosphere was perfect, not full as it was early Wednesday morning, but enough occupied tables to create an indulgent and relaxed vibe. All in all, a very relaxed start to our day. Well done to the whole team! Super professional 👍 Thank you
