Two hotel restaurants in Harrogate have been named among the UK’s top 50 hotel restaurants by OpenTable and KAYAK.
The pair have teamed up to create a list that celebrates venues where the food is considered just as much of a draw as the accommodation itself.
And The Pickled Sprout at The Yorkshire Hotel and The Fat Badger at the White Hart Hotel have both been included.
The Pickled Sprout on John Street is described on OpenTable as offering “a fresh and soulful experience in opulent surroundings.”
Its menu features “hearty favourites, enriching superfoods, and creative dishes using the finest ingredients from local sources.”
The restaurant includes several areas for guests, such as a dog-friendly bar, dog-free dining area, private rooms, a garden room and balcony seating.
The Fat Badger on Cold Bath Road is noted on OpenTable for providing “an exquisite dining experience in the heart of Harrogate.”
It “serves superb quality AA rosette food in elegant surroundings,” with dogs welcome in its outdoor dining areas.
Sasha Shaker, senior director of UK and Ireland at OpenTable, said:
“Hotel restaurants are experiencing a true renaissance – these venues are no longer just convenient, they’re coveted.
“With 72% of Brits willing to rebook a hotel based on a positive dining experience at its restaurant, it’s clear that the dining spot can be just as powerful a draw as the room.
“For hotels, it’s a chance to win over locals, not just overnight guests.
“For diners, whether they’re travelling or simply looking for an exceptional meal, our new Top 50 list brings together the best of both worlds.”
According to the data, 71% of Brits believe hotel restaurants have improved over the years, transforming from simple conveniences into destinations in their own right.
Nearly half of hotel restaurant diners in the past year were local residents, and usage of KAYAK’s “restaurant” filter when booking hotels was up 72% compared to the previous year.
