The Top 42 Places to Eat Near Restaurant DOM
-
Rank 1. Restaurant DOM
Polish Eastern European
Shelves of house-made jams, pickles, and preserves line the wood-clad interior, and in winter some of them find their way onto the plate. Restaurant DOM is a smart modern dining room in central Scunthorpe where the chef's Polish heritage shapes the menu in ways that feel personal rather than performative, grandmother's sauerkraut recipe included. Bedrooms are coming, but the kitchen is already the reason to make the trip.
-
A one-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant in a 16th-century farmhouse so deep in North Lincolnshire that the owners run their own smallholding to stock the kitchen. The surprise menu reads like a personal diary, Yorkshire nods sitting beside refined chicken tacos and lamb kebab, which sounds like a strange dinner party but somehow makes the chef's cooking feel more considered, not less. Sumptuous rooms upstairs if the drive back feels unkind.
-
Rank 3. Hope & Anchor
British
A glass-fronted dry-aging cabinet sits behind the bar of this nautically themed pub on the Humber estuary, which tells you roughly what kind of night you're in for. The kitchen leans into proper British cooking, with produce from their own smallholding and meats finished in a Josper oven. The cement works next door is not glamorous, but the estuary views go some way toward balancing the ledger.
-
Rank 4. Pipe and Glass
British Pub
A Michelin-starred gastropub hidden down the country lanes of East Yorkshire, where Barnsley chops and locally shot game arrive in portions that mean business. The kitchen refines pub classics without making them feel precious, and the wine list runs deep enough to keep you at the table longer than planned. Smart rooms converted from old lambing buildings make spending the night a reasonable excuse.
-
Rank 5. Hearth
Modern British
A wood-fired hearth anchors the open kitchen at this Modern British restaurant, tucked into the old part of Hull among some handsome Georgian streets. The ground floor doubles as a bar and bakery; head upstairs for the rustic two-room dining room, where small plates and grilled larger dishes share the menu. Check the boards for seasonal specials, and start with the sourdough before anything else.
-
Rank 6. Westwood
Modern British
-
An Arts and Crafts building on a quiet Marygate street, this Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant is the York sibling of Tommy Banks' Black Swan in Oldstead. The same farm-to-table ethos runs through it: kitchen garden, small regional suppliers, and Banks family farm produce shape the menu season by season. Dishes read as simple and arrive looking it, then turn out to be quietly complex in a way that makes you stop mid-conversation.
-
Rank 8. Skosh
Modern British New American
The name comes from a Japanese word for "small amount," which doubles as a menu philosophy: sharing plates, six or seven between two, built around bold flavors that roam freely from South Asia to the Middle East and beyond. It's a lively, informal spot on Micklegate with a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of room where the food makes conversation stop mid-sentence. Book ahead; York has noticed.
-
Rank 9. Melton's
Modern British
Murals of ingredients and happy diners cover the walls at this cosy neighbourhood restaurant, which feels like a self-portrait the place has earned. A short walk from York's centre, it runs on local produce and long-serving staff who know the room. The cooking is classically grounded but quietly ambitious, and if a soufflé appears on the dessert menu, it would be rude not to order it.
-
Rank 10. Restaurant Auction House
Modern British
Period details fill a former auction house in a quiet Lincolnshire market town, and the room feels like it earned its character rather than hired an interior designer. The Modern British menu runs from snacks and small plates up to a full tasting menu, so you can calibrate to your appetite. The kitchen leans on genuine technique without making a fuss about it, and the focaccia alone tends to start conversations at neighboring tables.
-
Rank 11. INOS
Greek
A casual Greek bistro in the heart of York, where the menu runs through pita and dips, meatballs, and moussaka before landing on a Cretan orange cake that earns its place at the end of a meal. The room is cheerful and unfussy, the service warm, and the Greek wines and spirits give the whole thing a coherent logic. Good value at lunch, when the city's historic centre hums outside.
-
Rank 12. Arras
Mediterranean
A converted coaching house on the edge of the old city, Arras is a modern dining restaurant where the bread alone, baked at their sister bakery Little Arras, sets a promising tone for what follows. The cooking moves with the seasons and leans into inventive combinations, while the British cheese selection arrives on a handmade oak trolley, which is the kind of detail that makes cheese people visibly emotional. The wine list gives English bottles a fair showing.
-
Rank 13. Fish & Forest
Modern British
A self-taught chef runs this snug Modern British restaurant tucked down a cobbled lane near the Shambles, where the blackboard menu shifts constantly and almost nothing goes to waste. The name maps the sourcing: fish from small boats, game from local shoots, and meat raised with some attention to how the animal actually lived. It's the kind of cooking that sounds earnest on paper but tastes like someone means it.
-
Rank 14. Legacy
Modern British
-
Rank 15. The Bow Room at Grays Court
Modern British
The big bow window gives the room its name and most of its light, framing a walled garden that also supplies the kitchen. This is a Modern British restaurant tucked inside a Jacobean house beside York Minster, the kind of setting where a pre-dinner drink in the wood-panelled gallery feels entirely necessary. The menu follows the seasons closely, and the service has the easy warmth of people who seem to like their jobs.
-
Rank 16. The Star Inn The City
Modern British
A Victorian brick engine house beside Museum Gardens, with big windows and a terrace over the river, is where this all-day brasserie sets up shop. It's the city sibling of The Star Inn at Harome, and the menu leans into hearty Modern British cooking rooted in Yorkshire produce, with enough polish to remind you this isn't a pub, even if the spirit of one is somewhere in the room.
-
Neapolitan-style pizza in the middle of York, where the dough is the whole argument, light and properly developed in a way that makes toppings feel like they were always meant to be there. Cresci is a casual pizza restaurant that shifts between classics and more contemporary combinations without losing its footing. The room is informal but not accidental, comfortable for a quick slice or a slower dinner.
-
Rank 18. JÖRO
Nordic Japanese
A converted 300-year-old mill on the edge of the Peak District is a long way from a Sheffield shipping container, but the tasting menu restaurant JÖRO landed a Michelin star either way. The cooking fuses Nordic and Japanese ideas with Yorkshire ingredients, and the open kitchen means you can watch the whole operation. Rooms upstairs, two bars, and an outdoor terrace make it easy to stay longer than planned.
-
A stone former vicarage on the edge of Derbyshire, converted into a quietly ambitious fine dining room where the grounds alone are worth arriving early for. Two fixed-price menus anchor the experience, the longer of the two running through modern dishes built on serious sourcing, including game from estates you'd recognize by name. The setting has an easy grandeur that the cooking doesn't try to outrun.
-
Six tables, four counter seats, and Michael O'Hare doing whatever he wants, which turns out to be a constantly shifting parade of small, technically intricate courses in a quietly modern room in a smart Yorkshire village. The chef's cult following will recognize the restless creativity and the occasional Asian detour, like Peking-style duck appearing somewhere unexpected. A wine flight is the move.
-
A pub in a Leeds conservation area that won the Great British Pub Awards' Best Pub Garden two years running, and once you see the place, that tracks. What was a car park and field is now a two-tiered outdoor space with a terrace bar, wooden huts, and views over a cricket pitch. The planting is genuinely cared for, pollinator-friendly and all. A solid neighborhood pub where the garden is the whole point.
-
Rank 22. Pinnacle Sports & Games
Beer Bar
Seventeen screens, three Sky boxes, and sound zones that let different matches play in their own corners of the room: Pinnacle takes the sports pub formula pretty seriously. Pool, darts, and electronic basketball keep things moving between kickoffs, and the family-friendly hours mean it's not purely a fortress of lager and shouting. The 2025 Great British Pub Award for Best Pub to Watch Sport suggests the rebrand landed.
-
Rank 23. mýse
New American
A former pub in a quiet North Yorkshire village, mýse holds a Michelin star and sits at number 26 on the National Restaurant Awards list. The chef calls it "elevated grandma cooking," which sounds like a joke until the tasting menu arrives, built on local produce and the kind of hearty inspiration that doesn't usually come with this level of technique. Flagstone floors, whitewashed beams, a 300-bin wine list strong on eastern France. Dress like you mean it.
-
American memorabilia lines the walls of this lively bar and casual dining spot on Saltergate, where line dancing nights sit comfortably alongside quiz nights and live sport on the same weekly calendar. The vibe is broadly Americana, the crowd is local and loyal, and the programming is restless enough that there's usually something on. It took the Admiral Taverns Pub of the Year at the 2025 Great British Pub Awards.
-
Rank 25. The Highland Laddie
British Pub
Sausage rolls baked to order, ham carved from the joint and finished on the open fireplace, a dedicated mustard menu: the Highland Laddie is a pub that takes the pub seriously. It landed on the Top 50 Gastropubs list, and Jimi Famurewa called it out in The Observer as a northern boozer of unexpected finesse. Come for a pint and leave having somehow eaten rather a lot.
-
Rank 26. Alice Hawthorn Inn
British
A dining pub on a village green that happens to share its postcode with the country's tallest maypole and a duck pond, which tells you something about the pace of life here. The rooms are full of beams and exposed brick, as required by pub law, but the kitchen ranges freely: dynamite shrimp and ceviche sit alongside fish and chips without anyone apologizing. Bedrooms lean pleasantly Scandinavian. Welcoming from the start.
-
Rank 27. Restaurant ELM
British
Vinyl on the turntable, retro furniture, shelves of books, and local Sheffield honey available by the jar on the way out. By day it's a coffee shop; come evening, candles appear and the room quietly becomes a set-menu restaurant serving British food that ranges from straightforwardly lovely to genuinely intricate. The kind of neighbourhood spot that doesn't need to announce itself.
-
Rank 28. The General Tarleton
Modern British Pub
A glass-roofed courtyard and a big terrace where walk-ins are always welcome set the tone at this gastropub near Knaresborough, part of Tommy Banks' growing Yorkshire operation. The kitchen runs on local produce and day-boat fish, mixing pub classics with the odd more ambitious move, all with a seasonal logic baked in from the start. The service team have the warmth the setting asks for, which, in a coaching inn this old, is quite a lot.
-
The open kitchen faces every table at this Michelin-starred creative tasting menu restaurant on the Rudding Park estate, so you're watching the chefs the whole time, which sounds like pressure but somehow isn't. Ingredients come from 52 raised beds on site, with preserves lining the shelves behind the pass. At dessert, guests pick a track to play while puddings arrive, which is either charming or deeply chaotic depending on who's at your table.
-
The wine list includes bottles from a Loire Valley vineyard that one of the co-owners grew up on, which tells you something about how seriously this French bistro takes the whole project. Spindle-back chairs, gilt mirrors, green walls, a long banquette: the room looks the part too. Horsforth is an unlikely postcode for a Michelin Bib Gourmand, but the Gallic classics coming out of the kitchen make the suburb feel briefly like the 6th arrondissement.
-
Rank 31. Blind Jack
Beer Bar
A 400-year-old timber-framed building on Knaresborough's market square, Blind Jack's is a proper beer pub with five cask and ten craft lines pouring from a tiny bar that has no business handling that much traffic. Draught Bass sits alongside Black Sheep, but the rotating pumps wander toward American brown ales and porters. The 2025 Great British Pub Awards named it Best Beer Pub. You walk in feeling like a regular before you've ordered.
-
Rank 32. Tom Lawson at the Psalter
Modern British
A bureau stuffed with the chef's own cookery books gives away the mood at this boutique hotel restaurant on the quieter south side of Sheffield. Tom Lawson runs a set seasonal menu, Modern British in spirit, that shifts with the market and reaches back to family memory, a cauliflower cheese that nods to his grandmother sitting alongside more classical technique. The room is warm and a little funky, the service confident without being stiff.
-
Rank 33. Rafters Restaurant
Modern British
Exposed beams and bare brickwork give this first-floor Sheffield dining room the feel of a converted loft that forgot to be pretentious about it. The tasting menu leans into modern British cooking with serious produce, and the Kitchen Bench seats you directly in front of the pass if you want to watch the work. A shorter set menu runs at certain times. The wine list is organised by style and character, which is more useful than it sounds.
-
Rank 34. Ox Club
Wood-fired Barbecue
A wood-fired restaurant inside a converted Leeds mill, sharing the building with a beer hall and cocktail bar, which means the room is loud and no one is pretending otherwise. The kitchen runs everything through smoke and flame, with a US-imported grill doing the heavy lifting and bold flavors layered on top, nduja with oysters, gochujang on crispy pig tails. Vegetarians get a serious run too. The côte de boeuf is there if the mood takes you.
-
Rank 35. The Reindeer
British
A village pub down a narrow country lane in Nottinghamshire, with a view over the local cricket pitch that does a lot of the decorating. The cooking is resolutely traditional, bangers and mash and Sunday roasts done with care, plus a weekly pie night whose fillings change to keep regulars guessing. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, which feels about right for a place this unfussy and this good at the basics.
-
Rank 36. Prashad
Vegetarian Indian
A family-run vegetarian Indian restaurant in a former pub outside Bradford, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand for cooking rooted in Gujarati tradition. The bread alone, naan and rotli made with real care, would justify the drive. You can go à la carte, share a set menu, or commit to a full tasting, which for a place this warm and unfussy feels like exactly the right way to spend an evening.
-
Rank 37. Norman's Neighbourhood Kitchen
Mediterranean
Norman is a dog and a grandfather, not the chef, which sets the tone for this relaxed neighbourhood bistro in Kirkburton. Rustic décor, a warm service team, and sharing plates that lean Mediterranean with a local wink, including pig's cheek glazed in Henderson's Relish, Sheffield's cult condiment. The entire wine list comes by the glass, and the local ales move fast. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.
-
Rank 38. Chartwell
Modern New American
One of the bookshelves swings open to reveal a hidden bar, which tells you something about how seriously Aldwark Manor takes dinner. This country-house restaurant runs modern tasting menus with enough attention to detail that even the mirrors are rigged with camera feeds into the kitchen. Bold fabrics, sweeping lawn views, and a room that rewards looking closely make it worth arriving before dark.
-
Rank 39. Durham Ox
British
A fire-roaring, eclectically decorated Yorkshire pub that's been around forever in a genuinely sleepy hamlet outside Crayke. The menu runs long and leans British, with hearty, unfussy cooking that changes with the seasons. In summer the courtyard earns its keep; in winter the bar stools near the hearth go fast. Cosy rooms upstairs mean you can order another round without doing the maths on the drive home.
-
Rank 40. The Bulls Head
Modern British
A full car park on a weekday night tells you something about a Derbyshire village pub. This one has built a loyal following by running tasting menus and an à la carte alongside the real ales, and by printing your name on the menu, which is either charming or slightly alarming depending on how you feel about being expected. The kitchen has genuine ambition, and the soufflés are the kind that make the table go quiet.
-
Rank 41. Forde
Mediterranean
-
Rank 42. The Pheasant
Modern British
A terrace overlooking the village duck pond sets the tone for this country house hotel restaurant in the North Yorkshire village of Harome. The dining room leans formal, the conservatory a little less so, and the menu runs from breakfast through afternoon tea to Sunday roasts, all built around seasonal Modern British cooking with classical roots. The kind of place where strong sourcing does the quiet convincing.
