Restaurants in Bradford

One of the city's most important neighbourhoods is known as Little Germany, which is fitting, as some of Bradford's best new restaurants have a decidedly Teutonic feel to them. If you want to blend bratwurst and beer (or bier), there are Bavarian-style beer cellars in the centre of town. Order up plates crammed with all the pork snacks you can handle, and wash them down with authentic German lagers or craft beers from the local area. And don't forget to finish things off with a slice of Black Forest trifle for the full Germanic experience!

There's no doubt that the major theme in Bradford's restaurants scene is curry... In the 1960s and 70s, the city welcomed a huge Asian population, and many of the new arrivals turned their skills to gastronomic pursuits. The result is a community of curry houses that puts larger cities to shame. You'll find great curry restaurants in Bradford all over town, from the West End to Greengates and from Great Horton to Leeds Road. The focus generally tends to be on Kashmiri or Karachi cuisine, which means fantastic biryanis and spicy meat curries are available in abundance.

If you are in town and need somewhere to dine with mates, Bradford's restaurants offer no shortage of informal options that have menus suited to group dining. For instance, the centre of town is home to some excellent pizzerias which mix authentic Neapolitan style bases and extensive topping selections with sides like filled potato skins, nachos and fried chicken. With choices for everyone, no-one needs to compromise, and everyone can concentrate on truly enjoying the occasion.

There are also plenty of excellent restaurants near Bradford City's ground, Valley Parade. If you're in town for a game or you are a regular supporter of the Bantams, check out the options in Little Germany or White Abbey and fill up on curry, pizza or wings before cheering on your team. The very best places tend to get pretty packed on match days, so book ahead with Quandoo and ensure that your party has the space they need to mix fine food and footy.
