Award Winning Cuisine Acclaimed By All Major Food Guides. This ultra modern design orientated restaurant, with its steel and etched glass and furniture by Philippe Starck, provides a contrasting style to the listed Dean Clough Arts and Business complex in Halifax. The restaurant offers a superb award-winning cuisine and an extensive wine list. Although it is sophisticated, the ambience is relaxed and informal, with a fantastic value for money menu with high quality cuisine and service. Our bar area is licensed to midnight and stocks an excellent selection of wine by the glass and numerous specialty beers from around the world. In addition to this, our gourmet coffee facilities will provide the perfect wake-up call using a state-of-the-art Faema machine to get the best out of the freshly ground coffee beans.
