Best Casual Restaurants in Halifax

From the minute you walk in the door to paying the bill at the end, faultless! A very warm welcome from oliver and the team! A fantastic cocktail menu as well as a very well sought out wine list kept the drinks flowing all night! Its no surprise this lovely small plates restaurant was included in the 2025 michelin guide as the food speaks for itself! Its great to see stand out local produce being used in such inventive ways as well as keeping it seasonal. I would lime to thank oliver and the whole team at normans for a such a lovely night and thank you for looking after us! If you haven't been then get yourself booked in you will not be disappointed - i would suggest booking way in advance as they are crazy busy (no surprise) . ⭐️

The food is lovely but the price can be a little on the high side - £14 or so for three crispy mussels and a bit of stonebass seemed a bit over the top for a starter but it was very, very good and we were looking for something a bit special. On the whole, it was a very, very positive experience. It was a return visit, and we will go back.

Food and service second to none, we were the only diners in (perhaps understandably the day before St Valentine's Day) so it was very quiet and a little on the cool side.

Smashing food and staff, loved Mel, Lucas and Jonny today, regular lunch spot
