Horto Restaurant in Harrogate

Food was interesting and tasty, though the BBQ lamb course I had was tad too salty for me and the lamb itself was small. Service was friendly but was unfortunately slow and not as attentive as it should be for this price point.

I cannot rate Horto higher than the five stars given but I would gladly give it ten stars. We had the pleasure of eating there on their first night of opening since COVID restrictions were lifted. From the professional welcome received from the Restuarant Manager Rory to being the last table to leave we were overwhelmed with the level of service from the whole team and the standard of the food. The menu description does not do the food justice. Their angle is to avoid the norm of Starters, Mains and Puddings and go for a selection of small plates seasonally lead with fresh ingredients from their own kitchen garden. It's suggested that you chose 4 plates per person but as there was a total of 9 on the menu we decided to go for one of each to share per couple. Each dish seemed to surpass the last one, the flavours and textures were fantastic. The Chawanmushi (smoked eel, peas and wasabi) I would have never chosen in a million years but turned out to be the best thing I have ever tasted in my life! Thank you to Rory and the team for making our experience so memorable. We will be back!!

Such a wonderful meal at Horto last night. Each dish was so delicious, we especially loved the crab and lamb. The staff were wonderful, and were so accommodating of an allergy of dairy free and soya free, and also us bring our young baby to the restaurant. No pressure to order extra dishes. Cant wait to return and try some more dishes.

Great place for experiencing fine dining! Very nice and cosy environment, skilful and friendly staff, delicious and beautifully presented food, amazing drinks specially wines.I tried 3 courses sample testing menu which includes Scallops, Lamb, and Apple, all amazing and full of flavour. The surprise was a dish called “cross-over” that was served between main and dessert to chance taste from savoury to sweet, absolutely sensational!!Before the dishes, I was served with bread and butter which I also enjoyed.Absolutely recommend it!!

Highly recommended restaurant, 7 course tasting menu with appropriate wine for each course. Staff friendly and knowledgable. Restaurant uses produce from its own gardens for the menu. If I could give 6 stars I would, a superb dining experience.

Excellent meal. Lovely service. Very friendly.

Very disappointing.. no effort was put into our breakfast😔, feel bad to be leaving a poor review cos I'm sure with a few tweaks could have been nice. Was left uncomfortable after I made it clear I was vegan and they brought me my oat milk latte made with cows milk 🤢🤢, I'm lucky I'm not allergic/intolerant but could have been, no apology.

Spa was amzing, treatments amazing, the package afternoon tea was terrible. Tiny sandwichs so skinny we could not tell what was in them, the cakes were tastless and old. the scones were lovely. The gluten free version was a joke, chopped up apple and pear for dessert and sorbet! the gluten free bread is the type you saw 5 years ago - thin and dry - get with it Rudding and either make your own or buy the great GF artisan bread now available. complete disappointment and left most of it which considering the big price tag is very annoying and not a 'AA rosette' establishment at all.

Great restaurant, one of the best in Harrogate! Service was excellent, staff were friendly and informative. The bread comes with chicken butter which is wonderful, the Whitby crab and the scallop courses were our favourite of the night.

This evening was highly anticipated and certainly did not disappoint. The Tasting Menu was excellent - apart from brilliant starter, the two Fish courses were delicious only to be followed by two really memorable meat courses. Still had room for desserts ( yes there were two with a surprise predessert ) . The Kitchen was complemented by front of House and an excellent Wine List.I hope that we can return soon!
