Restaurant Review - Farsyde, Ilkley***** We were lucky to be treated to dinner at the Farsyde Restaurant by my parents-in-law, thanks again folks. We had drinks in the bar area before being seated, there was a selection of home made bread offered of which I chose a black olive bread roll. I'm not going to be able to remember what the other three ate, so I'll just review my food and wine. Starter - Warm salad of woodpigeon, roast new potatoes, pancetta, paw-paw and tarragon dressing. (£5.75) Very nice, with the pigeon breats just retaining a hint of pinkness, a reasonably substantial starter but it is a restaurant catering to Yorkshiremen so that's fair enough. To be honest I didn't notice the paw-paw in the dressing but the dish was fine without it. Main - Calves liver on garlic mash, tartlet of mature cheddar & chorizo. Lovely, the liver was pinker than the pigeon, just how I like it, very tender, the mash was smooth and creamy and very garlicky. Main courses are priced in the £12-15 range, I din't notice on the menu whether veg & salad cost extra, but they did on previous visits. Price wise then this places Farsyde on a level with Gordon Ramsey's Boxwood at the Berkeley in London. Dessert - Trio of chocolate, brulee, brownie and chocolate & honeycomb ice cream. For me, you can't have too much choclate at the end of a meal and this was great, a nice change in textures and temperatures with the warm brownie and the ice cream. (£4.95) Wine - We had a good bottle of South African red at about £16, I didn't take notes and have forgotten what it was, very good though. I don't know the total bill, and I'm not asking, but you can see from the prices that Farsyde isn't cheap, it is really, really good though, we have been here a few times and have always had really good meals. The servie is good, staff pleasent and polite, a good evening was had by all.
