Yorkshire is rightly famous for the quality of its beef and lamb and you can sample its succulence in the many Northallerton restaurants that specialise in steaks, chops and grills. Try a velvet-tender fillet or enjoy the robust tastes of a rib-eye with just the right marbling of fat. A T-bone steak will satisfy most appetites but if even that won't do, then simply tuck into a fantastic mixed grill of steak, cutlets and some wonderful Yorkshire sausages.

With a wealth of top-quality local ingredients and a population of appreciative locals, chefs from around the world have been drawn to Northallerton. Their restaurants offer all sorts of cuisines from every corner of the globe. Classical cooking from the continent includes some mouthwatering pizzas and pastas from Italy and sophisticated dishes from France. Asian cuisines are well represented, too, with some spicy Indian eateries, along with Thai and Chinese restaurants. From across the Atlantic, meanwhile, Tex-Mex cantina's and US diners provide a taste of the Americas.
