Harrogate Brasserie Hotel

Stayed at the hotel above the Brasserie. In keeping with the extravagant, but nonpublic theme downstairs, the rooms are individual, comfy and in a boutique style, even to the sit-​down shower! Décor is a bit tired in places, and the stairs and corridors are a bit baffling.
Home cooked breakfast is excellent. Great Bacon.
In the evening, the brasserie had live jazz, and food was excellent, though not cheap — french style-​ish, and very hearty.

Well Harrogate is known for some superior living and the Harrogate Brassiere fits that bill. What a nice building it is too. Of course it is a hotel so you can rest your weary head there but it also has a fine eating emporium. Oh yes it does in pantomime style action.
This is grand dining with fresh, seasonal and local produce all whipped into some luscious creations. Try the oak roasted salmon fishcakes to start with. They almost melt in the mouth. For a main I went for some mushroom fun (ghi). Sorry bad pun alert! The steaks are cooked to perfection though or you can stick to chicken, duck or whatever takes your fancy. Excellent puddings as to be expected and a totally extravagant dining experience all round. Don’t expect it to come cheap, it doesn’t but we all need a total blow out sometimes in our lives. We salute you.

Hubby and I went to Harrogate on spec and discovered this little gem, sadly it was fully booked, as was everywhere else, I can’t even remember where we ended up! BUT, Trev arranged suprise trip here in June. We only stayed one night, but what a night. Our room was one of the new ones, happily not new room, just newly decorated, had lots of old features, was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. We booked in and went out exploring for a while, came back and got a bottle of house wine, 2 glasses and a cooler to take up to the room while we got ready for dinner. Dinner was first class. The food was well prepared, well served and there was plently of it. I had the best king prawns I have ever had followed by duck which was cooked to perfection. Trev has sea bass (I think) and that was delicious too. We don’t really do desserts, but folk around us were smacking their lips at theirs, so they must be good too. The wine was a little on the expensive side and nowt flash, but not bad enought to really complain about. We will defo be back as soon as possible, for longer hopefully, and we have recommended it to all our mates, especially those who like a bit of Jazz with their dinner… nice
