7. The Shibden Mill Inn, Halifax
The Michelin Guide said: "Tucked away on the floor of a steep, wooded valley, this former corn mill is full of rustic character, with cluttered, low-beamed rooms, open fires and cosy snugs. Monthly changing menus offer hearty, flavoursome dishes made with Yorkshire produce. The young team are organised and welcoming – and boutique bedrooms add to the appeal." | Bruce Rollinson

8. Forde, Horsforth
The Michelin Guide said: "Experienced chef Matt Healy – a onetime 'MasterChef: The Professionals' contestant – has come home to Horsforth to open this rustic bistro and wine bar. His appealing menu features appetising small plates with Mediterranean influences; two or three per person works well, and there are some well-chosen wines, craft beers and cocktails too." | Tony Johnson

9. Bavette, Horsforth
The Michelin Guide said: "Its unlikely location in the Leeds suburb of Horsforth is a result of the relationship between Leeds native Sandy Jarvis and Frenchman Clément Cousin, who met while working in some of London’s top restaurants. Clément runs the chatty service, while Sandy is in the kitchen working on keenly priced Gallic classics – expect to spot delicious renditions of the likes of pâté en croute and shellfish bisque." | James Hardisty

10. Prashad, Drighlington
The Michelin Guide said: "Set over two floors of a former pub, this colourfully decorated, family-run restaurant offers interesting, original Indian vegetarian cooking inspired by the owners Gujarati heritage. Dishes are substantial in both size and flavour and spicing is well-judged; the dosas are popular." | Jonathan Gawthorpe
