About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Fancy

For over 100 years Bettys has been devoted to lifting spirits with life’s little pleasures; handmade cakes, unique freshly baked products, beautiful Café Tea Rooms, rare and exclusive coffees and teas and continental-inspired menus.
There are five Bettys Café Tea Rooms in Yorkshire, each with its own shop where you can walk in and enjoy breakfast, lunch and an afternoon treat.

Bettys is famous for afternoon tea, and if you want to experience the finest we offer, you can book a table for our Belmont Room in York or our Imperial Room in Harrogate. You'll be serenaded by our pianist as you enjoy a selection of savouries, indulgent sandwiches, specially selected teas and irresistible dainty cakes and scones.
Join us for evening dining Thursday to Saturday, where we bring together elegant surroundings, a refined food and drinks menu. Also, for that extra dash of after-hours elegance, a pianist performs live classical covers of popular contemporary music.

The afternoon tea experience at Betty's York Belmont Room was fantastic and very good value for money. Beautiful art deco interior, live piano music and absolutely wonderful staff. Not to mention lovely food, tea and drinks with second helpings of everything for the set price. We also asked to have some leftovers to take away and got them beautifully packed along with gift chocolates on top! Definitely recommend!
