Recent tips about Halifax

This is a great little restaurant, tucked away near the river in Sowerby with great ambience and friendly staff. It outshines the area and gives hope that things are on the up for this Northern Milltown. The dishes are all vegan and range from huge seasonal dishes like aparagaus and new potato salad to baked plantains with spicy mango salsa. The puddings are great, really traditional and everything is prepared fresh in the open kitchen. The wine is organic too, but reasonable so a three course meal for two plus wine is just under £45 - splendid.

6 Town Hall Street, Sowerby Bridge, HX6 2EA.

The Okra House Cafe

Posted by purpleelephant 19 May 2007

A hidden gem in Halifax - freshly cooked veggie & vegan food. North African dishes seem to be a speciality, and there are wonderfully presented Bento boxes on Fridays. The soya lattes, fresh juices and imaginative salads are delicious.

King Cross Fisheries

Posted by BigJay 8 February 2007

The BEST Fish and Chip Shop I have ever been to, and I've been to a few. Huge fish. And if you go for the Kingsize you get the feeling that Flipper has lost a relative.

Tasty, fat chips. A simple menu with everything done how it should be. And to top it off, an inordinately grumpy woman on the tills who makes you laugh with her turned down face and sigh filled exhalations. Try the scallops if you're skint - plenty of vinegar now!

On King Cross Road, in the middle of the shops.

Eureka!

Posted by Hettie Bennicke 8 February 2007

My favourite place is Eureka. I chose it because it’s all about science and I like science. The best thing about Eureka is it has loads of fun activities you can do. It is in Halifax near Hebden Bridge. For once, this place was crowded. It took a quarter of an hour to get inside. I saw a big statue sink into the bath. It made a huge splash and luckily the water went down a couple of pipes.

I went to see clouds that you can move. There were rain clouds and clouds we have today. After that we went to Me and My Body. A robot talks about what has happened to himself. We saw a mouth and we put beanbags into it and saw how we chew, bite and swallow food.

Then we saw a rat mask that you put on top of your head to make you look like a giant rat. We made our way into a place where you could feel your very own hairs in your nose! I felt the hairs and afterwards we saw a skull and I pulled a funny face. Then we went to the bike and you pedal on it to see what your skeleton looks like in the mirror. Finally we saw a big mouth and it had a wobbly tooth. Now that is what I call science!
