We booked this restaurant for 11 February after an absence of nearly 5 years................. we weren't disappointed. The food was excellent - a far cry from Brassier Blanc we visited 2 weeks earlier. There were four in our party and we had venison, duck, sea bass and lamb. Every dish was expertly crafted (with enough to fill a good appetite),... More

Every quarter I arrange a meeting that takes place in various locations up and down the country. The night before the meeting we take everyone for dinner and like to go "off site", away from the hotel we are holding our meeting and staying in. This quarter our meeting was in Garforth and not knowing the area I took to... More

On 08/02/2012, my wife and I visited "The Bon" restaurant in Sherburn-in-Elmet, Leeds, to celebrate my birthday. This had previously been called the "Bon Viveur", where we had celebrated anniversaries for over 30years. When the previous owners retired, we went on a couple of occasions but were disappointed and therefore went elsewhere. In early January, this year, we were returning... More

Consistency, quick to type hard to achieve, in the gastronomy world its a mark of excellence and quality. The Bon has this in massive quantities. After a last minute decision to have Sunday lunch with the Mrs out, i contacted these guys at Noon, even though they had a busy lunch they managed to fit us in, dont know why... More

Some of the best restaurants are tucked away in the most inauspicious places, one such in the Yorkshire area easily commutable from Leeds or York is "The Bon" restaurant in Sherburn in Elmet. On the main street it is easily found, but you are best advised to make a booking as it is generally well attended. Great food and a... More

There has been a complete refurbishment down stairs, it is vey tasteful and plush. The colour scheme attached to the menus is taken through to the napkins, I thought that this was a very nice touch. The menu has a good selection and our good was extremely good. The sweet trolley is a nice old fashioned touch, once you see... More

We have visited the Bon at Sherburn in Elmet for 20 years. The "old" was a great treat for my wife and I. We enjoyed the wonderfull food and super service. A romantic evening for sure and no need to taxi to Leeds or York and back. The "new" Bon with its recent face lift and modern menue offers all... More

We are local to this fine restuarant & love to come along when we can. We have been going for years on & off. We are pleased with the new owners on how they have put a more modern but still traditional feel to The Bon, the outside is great, when we have the weather. The food is good, along... More

We have been going to the Bon on and off for 40 years and the current menu, decor and attentive staff attitude is better than it has ever been. We will be back for my wife's 70th next month. From the reception area you get a glimpse of the kitchen which is huge compared with so many restaurants. The staff... More

This is a great little restaurant that is easily missed if you don't know about it. The interior takes me back to some of the more traditional 'old world' restaurants, very quaint. It was perfect and the atmosphere and ambience was great. The food was of a very high standard with my seared scallops cooked to perfection, retaining that lovely... More
