French cuisine restaurant in Halifax

“Had a lovely time at Denman’s the other night. I loved the atmosphere of the place and the food was absolutely delicious! It’s all small plates so be ready to order a few plates to feel full, it’s totally worth it though. The cocktails were amazing! I recommend Pornstar Martini cocktail, it was amazing and the best plate I tried was the Ox cheek. I paint places I visit and love ❤️”

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this cozy gem, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. From the warm welcome at the door to the beautifully plated dishes, every detail was thoughtfully executed. The menu offers a perfect balance of creativity and comfort I tried the house special (you must!), and it was bursting with flavor. Portions were generous, and the ingredients tasted incredibly fresh. The service was attentive without being intrusive our server was knowledgeable and kind. Whether you’re planning a night out or a casual dinner with friends, this place hits all the right notes. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!”

“Hands up how many of you have driven past this hidden gem or walked past it il go first I am guilty has the traffic that goes past it is unreal plus there is car parking to the left of the building which I never knew it actually says on the door before entry I noticed the outside has a rustic look to it which is a nice touch . Has I stepped inside I was greeted by the owner who runs a family oriented business with his heart set on Italian food I was feeling a lot of passion he also told me about his family history which I found intriguing plus how he wants to carry on the family routes also the place has a ground floor plus an upstairs with some interesting decor around the place which I found very nice to look at also while inside I forgot we were near a busy junction plus with background music playing now the important thing the food they have some cracking deals which you can’t go wrong with so if you like Italian food like pizza or pasta or any Italian dishes now I would highly recommend this place book online or give them a ring weds -Sunday they also a fantastic range of dessert who doesn’t like a good choice of desserts plus not forgetting cocktails or other non alcoholic beverages now where do I finish off the place looked pretty clean & nicely set out with comfy chairs with a really nice friendly vibe I can’t wait to call back on Sunday I am spoilt for choice I definitely love the family Italian roots you can tell you are in for a treat . Has I was leaving a guy in a van asked me if the place was any good I said call in when it’s open next & try it for yourself I wonder if he will hold me up to that.”

“Lovely pub with lots of seating areas including cozy nooks and bright tables by the windows. Lots of beer options on tap, it was hard to choose! The bitter and stout were delicious. During the weekend there were parking spots outside the pub on the street.”

“What a lovely place.Popped in for a quick meal before the theatre and the service and food was excellent. Very reasonably priced too. Will definitely go again soon”

“Halal chicken! Highly recommended! My son loves pizza and we found this amazing pizzeria inside the Market. Small but mega place. The menu is quite extensive, but we knew that we wanted magarhita, when we learnt the chicken is halal we bought cheese and chicken dough balls and chicken Pasta! Really nice to have a San Pellegrino Limonata with it all. We ate inside. The customer service was great. The young lady was really helpful and served us with a smile. It was a little cramped but that added to the atmosphere of the place. My 4yr old son ate 2 slices which is loads for him and we took the spare pizza home! We're very satisfied! I'm not from Halifax, but we'll defo be coming back for its price, service and taste!”

“Overall excellent locally sourced Charcuterie, lovely selection of cheeses, biscuits and bread. Sublime artichokes too. Super friendly customer service... Can't ask for more. Definitely recommended and perfect to just nibble and just catch up with some great company”

“Fantastic find for an excellent meal before a concert at the impressive Piece Hall. Staff were excellent as was the food and reasonable prices, for really good sized portions. Their pizza bread as a starter is highly recommended. Would definitely return and I don't often say that. Great value early bird menu as well, and very popular, which speaks for itself!”

“I’ve gotten the Turkish breakfast from here twice with a mocha, such a great deal. Everything tastes delicious, and the service is immaculate. Very friendly owners and the place is so cosy.”

“Just had to share how amazing Polinos in Halifax is! We've been there a few times now, and it's totally become our go-to spot when we want to make something special. The food is just incredible—like, the pizza and pasta are next-level delicious. But let's talk cocktails for a sec. They're fantastic and honestly worth the trip alone. You've got to try the Mai Tai cocktail—it's absolutely stellar! The service is fantastic and personal, making you feel genuinely valued every time you visit. The staff really go above and beyond to make your dining experience special. If you're a steak lover, you're in for a treat. The steaks are cooked perfectly every single time. We even tried the large tomahawk sharing steak, and it was phenomenal—melt-in-your-mouth goodness! And for the size of that thing, it's actually reasonably priced. Oh, and the views! You get this beautiful landscape of the Calder Valley while you dine. It's seriously the perfect backdrop. Honestly, Polinos is well worth a visit. It blows any other Italian spot in town out of the water. Highly recommend!”

“Been here multiple times now and each time is just as amazing as the last. The food is so incredible and feels so luxurious without the high-end price tag. The kitchen is an open space and I love watching the chefs work as they prepare the food. The staff are always super friendly and up for a laugh. I can't recommend this place highly enough. If you go, try their tiramisu!!!”

“Gorgeous food as always, staff are always super friendly and accommodating! We’ve been coming here for 8 years and never had a bad meal! Gabriella is great! :)”

“We phoned on the off chance for a table this Sunday lunchtime and fortunately they managed to squeeze us in. We received a warm welcome here and the staff were brilliant throughout, as was the clientele. The Sunday carvery was quality and a choice of three sizes, all was cooked to perfection in particular the beef. Our first time here, but definitely not the last.”

“Best Gyros I’ve ever had.. and I’ve had them in Greece. Rapid service, stupendous price, unreal flavour. Don’t hesitate to visit here if you’re ever in Halifax. £7 for a gyros with so much flavour…. Just VISIT”

“Great little cafe, great value for money. Avoid if you want skinny latte & croissant, they serve proper food. Recommended.”

“Best sandwich shop around. Great value, plenty fillings, super clean and friendly staff.”

“A lovely Italian restaurant in Halifax. Our 2nd visit when going to a Piece Hall gig and it was busy. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommended for Italian in Halifax.”

“Had a lush brunch this morning. Service was amazing and the food was divine so thank you!! Such a great range of foods on the menu and you can see the effort put into the special for the festive season too! Loved it xxx”

“Just had a lovely pre-show meal at the Trading Rooms before the Olly Murs concert. Attentive service, priority entry to the hall, excellent food and a lovely ambience. it's the way to go before a show.”

“A friendly family run establishment with delicious food that is always consistent. The staff are very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Home deliveries are almost always early if not, always on said time. Enjoy!”

“Absolutely love Franganos! The food is consistently delicious, packed with flavour, fresh, and cooked to perfection every time. The chicken strips is a personal favourite, always juicy and perfectly spiced. The service is quick and friendly, and the vibe is relaxed but welcoming. Whether I’m dining in or grabbing a takeaway, it never disappoints. Highly recommend!”

“The food was really nice, well prepared, and very cost effective for the amount of food I ordered. It was very tasty and still warm after I placed the order and drove home about 10 mins away. Service was polite, efficient and it was very busy for takeaway deliveries and also for collection, and people were still eating in the restaurant part as well. Overall I would rate this establishment 4.5/5. (Genuine review from a paying customer, no affiliation with the establishment).”
