We’ve pulled together the most exciting new restaurant openings coming to Yorkshire, and we’re welcoming everything from bakeries to fine dining.
This year has been a really exciting time for Yorkshire’s foodie scene, and we can’t wait to see what else is to come!
Biggest new openings coming to Yorkshire
Calluna at Saltmoore
This new intimate fine dining restaurant at Saltmoore will be opening on Thursday 15th October 2026.
Led by Saltmoore’s Executive Chef Adam Maddock, Calluna will offer an intimate tasting menu experience inspired by the landscape surrounding the estate, from the Yorkshire coast and kitchen garden to the wild beauty of the North York Moors.
Federal Café and Bar
York’s coffee scene is about to get a little more exciting as Manchester-born favourite Federal makes its city-centre debut on Coney Street.
Taking over the former Lush site, the much-loved café brand is bringing its signature blend of speciality coffee, all-day brunch and laid-back Australian-inspired hospitality to one of York’s busiest streets. Expect good coffee, generous plates and plenty of buzz when the doors open.
Ajé Cafe and Studio
A new neighbourhood cafe and wine bar will be coming to Ilkley. Set to open this Septmber on Cunliffe Road it will feature coffee, seasonal food, curated wines and fine sherry.
It will be open 7 days a week and feature exciting supper club evenings for Friday and Saturday nights. This cosy spot could become your new go-to, perfect for a catch up and a coffee or an evening out with friends.
It will also feature a movement studio for mindful flow and sculpting.
Caffe Brigante Ilkley
The team behind Caffè Brigante, the popular tiramisu café in Leeds, are bringing something exciting to Ilkley with the opening of a brand-new pizzeria on Brook Street. Set to open this September, the new venue will serve authentic wood-fired pizzas, bringing a true taste of Italy to the town.
The pizzeria will be located at 26 Brook Street, the former home of Yorkie Cow.
Rotisserie Club
Rotisserie Club will be serving coffee in the morning, and then you can get your chicken-fix from lunchtime onwards, what more could you want? The coffee will be in collaboration with Habitum and it is set to open around the end of September – early October as 27 Wellington Street.
Paper Planes
Leeds is set to welcome a new cocktail bar, Paper Plane, in October, with hospitality group Palagander behind the project. Described as a “love letter to the analogue age”, the bar will draw on a nostalgic aesthetic while offering a contemporary drinking experience. They will play records on vinyl and take orders only with pad and pen, an effort to move away from the digital.
Paper Plane is expected to add to Leeds’ increasingly vibrant bar scene, combining its retro-inspired concept with a carefully considered drinks offering designed to appeal to cocktail enthusiasts.
Crumb
Crumb bakery is set to open its second location in Masham following the success of its popular Sheffield location. They are all set for their official opening date, 9th September.
This artisan bakery is family-run and features a selection of baked breakfast pastries, sourdough, doughnuts and fresh sandwiches. This popular spot will be arriving in Masham later this summer, so keep your eyes peeled for this amazing bakery spot that you should definitely add to your list.
Earls Yard
Located on Mathilda Street in Sheffield city centre is free to enter and provides the perfect setting for a hang out with friends.
This social venue is home to multiple street food vendors on rotation, plenty of outdoor seating and a stage for its frequent live musicians. Earls Yard is the perfect open-air social spot that acts as a community hub that provides a great night of good food shared with friends.
My Delhi, Leeds
Making its first move to Yorkshire, My Delhi will be joining Leeds’ vibrant restaurant scene just a short walk from the famous Greek Street at Hepper House.
Having built a successful name for themselves in Newcastle, Sunderland and Leicester, we cannot wait to try their famous kebabs cooked over charcoal in the tandoor and mouthwatering slow-cooked curries in September 2026.
66 Sheep Street, Skipton
66 Sheep Street has just oepend up in Skipton this Autumn, with Masterchef star Tom Rennolds. He had a simple vision: an independent bakery, bar and bistro serving good food, great drinks, and creating a welcoming space.
Whether it’s a morning coffee, a long lunch, drinks with friends, or a special occasion, this is a place that feels like a real part of the community.
Dishoom, Leeds
Next on our new restaurant openings in Yorkshire list. Expected to open later this year, where Leeds’ Flannels used to be, a taste of Bombay is coming to Vicar Lane. Dishoom is a well-established Indian restaurant known throughout the UK for its flavorful curries and impressive Bombay dishes.
We can’t wait to try Dishoom’s breakfast naans when they open this August 2026!
Sticks’n’Sushi
Danish-based, Sticks’n’sushi is gracing Leeds with its award-winning sushi and Yakatori. Planned for opening in early 2027, we have a bit to wait for this taste of Japan – but we know it’ll be worth it.
Offering that Scandi serenity, this is the perfect spot to let the food do the talking and enjoy some exquisite Japanese cuisine down on Vicar Lane.
New restaurant openings in Yorkshire you might have missed…
DOMO, Leeds
Our favourite Sardinian spot in Sheffield has extended an olive branch to Leeds. From Aperol Spritz to perfectly formed burrata, this was a very exciting addition to the Italian foodie scene in Leeds.
Their new venue at Tower Works in Leeds city centre is officially open and is buzzing already!
Rizia’s Bottega
Try a taste of Italy with this new Italian Deli and Coffee House, Rizia’s Bottega. It opened late August and is located in Ben Rhydding just outside of Ilkley.
This new foodie hot spot is family-run and prioritises authentic Italian dishes with a warm, welcoming ambience. With passionate chefs and exciting dishes, this is a must-visit spot whether you’re settling in for a cosy meal or stopping by for some premium coffee.
The Flower Belt, Harrogate
Following the popularity of their Helmsley site, The Flower Belt has now opened in Harrogate. There is no entrance fee or booking required, just turn up, pick the flowers that are calling your name and only pay for those.
After brightening up your day with some flowers, take a break in their on-site café, The Honey Tap, for a cup of coffee or pizza. Decked with fairy lights, outdoor heaters and cosy blankets, the Honey Tap is a perfect place to end the day after flower picking.
Byre, Bolton Abbey
From the brains behind previous Michelin-recommended Emba, Liz Cottam is working on her next thing, Byre.
It is a small dining room and kitchen found in a former dairy farm above Bolton Abbey, offering a beautifully seasonal and local menu, cooked in wood-fired stoves, close to the dining table.
Another Brother, York
Up next is a new brunch spot opening, Another Brother. Brought to us by Sheffield brothers Joey and Eddy, this Aussie-inspired cafe serves up breakfast classics and great coffee.
Taking over a bright and airy space, we’re sure this new cafe opening will prove a hit in York’s city centre.
Trattoria Maria, Sheffield
From the creators of Bench and Bench la Cave, Jack Wakelin and Tom Aronica have opened the doors to Trattoria Maria, their version of traditional Italian dining, inspired by their Sicilian roots and childhood summers spent enjoying Italian cuisine.
Trattoria Maria is on Wellington Street, in the former Henry’s Wine Bar. You can expect their classic, open, sociable style of interior, but with typical Italian hospitality and warmth.
Brume, York
From the family behind El Gaucho York, Brume is a new coffee spot and wine bar come the evening, nestled on Walmgate.
This neighbourhood spot will be hosting run clubs and wine tasting events to get involved with, so there’s something for everyone. We’re looking forward to giving this new opening a try ourselves.
Ambiente, Beverley
Paellas, platters and Spanish-inspired tapas, Ambiente is a favourite for tapas in Leeds, Hull and York. Now they’re bringing Spanish flavours to the market town of Beverly.
You can expect all the dishes that have given these guys a name for great tapas in a 120-cover restaurant – you’ll have to give it a try for yourself.
