Box Tree Restaurant
££££•British•4.9(1,419)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(269)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.

- GGeorginaDevon •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe service was second to none, absolutely fantastic x We were served by the gentleman who said he used to be the head chef. The description of the food was amazing, the food was absolutely delicious. We were sat at the back like I asked which was brilliant for my voice. We'd brought my Dad, Brother and Sister in law for their first visit and it definitely definitely won't be their last. I'm visiting again on the 1st October.More infoForde Ilkley££££• British• Ilkley•4.8
- OTOpenTable DinerYorkshire •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoDespite living in the area we never visited The Box Tree before. Our reservation was on the back of a big birthday for one of the party. We were slightly nervous about going, as on the face of it appeared out of league as compared to our usual dining establishments. However, the whole experience was fantastic. It really was quite special, enjoyed equally by the three of us. The tasting menus ( including x1 vegetarian) were seasonal, beautifully sourced, cooked and presented. Great range and depth of flavours. Difficult to pick out a highlight, which is very unusual. The decor is tasteful and service attentive, friendly but not over the top. Nice touch the chef visiting the each of the tables at some point during the meal. £65 for the set menus was actually a real bargain and over all the experience was exceptional value. We had the additional cheese course which I would also thoroughly recommend- we had x1 between two, which was perfect. In summary an A1 experience. Well done to all at The Box Tree 👍More infoBox Tree Restaurant££££• British• Ilkley•4.9

The waitress was so friendly and as we paid in the conversation it was mentioned my husband had recently been 70, she then brought him a small cake with a candle, such a nice touch 😊More infoBettys Ilkley££££• Cafe Dining• Bradford•4.8
