“The calamari starter was excellent — a crispy coating outside and deliciously tender inside. Beautifully presented throughout.”

Why Quinta
Fine food, fresh food, food that's distinct
Portuguese to its heart
Since 2014 we've brought a taste of Portugal to Ilkley — sardines, king prawns, chargrilled steaks and warm pastéis de nata, cooked the way we'd cook them at home.
Fresh every single morning
We stock the shelves with fresh ingredients before we open, every day. Nothing sits around — dishes are made to order, plated with care.
Fresh fish & the chargrill
Fresh Atlantic seabass, our signature fish stew, 10oz ribeye and sirloin from the grill — the dishes reviewers travel back for.
A warm, personal welcome
An intimate, candlelit room with a hands-on owner who'll happily talk you through the day's specials. Made for date nights, families and celebrations alike.

Since 2014
A little taste of Portugal, in the heart of Ilkley
Quinta started as a modest room on Wells Road with a simple idea: bring the food we love — fresh, handmade, Portuguese at heart — to Ilkley. Over the years it's grown, but the daily ritual hasn't changed: fresh ingredients in every morning, everything cooked to order.
Sit down and you'll find pan-seared scallops, fresh Atlantic fish, chargrilled steaks and a proper pastel de nata — served in a warm, candlelit room by a team who genuinely care that you leave happy.
