A tearoom visitors say is a “real treat” and an “amazing” Italian eatery in North Yorkshire have been revealed among the UK’s top 100 restaurants for 2024, according to OpenTable.
Both located in Harrogate, Bettys Café Tea Rooms and Vivido Bar & Restaurant were named among three other Yorkshire restaurants included in the annual list.
Laure Bornet, vice president of international growth at OpenTable commented: “Our Top 100 Restaurant list highlights a breadth of diner favourites in the UK - from neighbourhood gems like Ciullõsteria in London to award-winning spots like Opheem in Birmingham.
“Whether Brits are looking for a spontaneous midweek meal or festive feast, we hope diners use the list as a source of inspiration for local spots and their UK travels, this year and next.”
This year, OpenTable’s top 100 restaurants list was compiled by analysing more than 900,000 diner reviews, along with diner ratings, reservation demand and percentage of five-star reviews among other factors.
