The Fat Badger has a rating of 4.2/5 out of 2,382 reviews on OpenTable.
Its profile says: “The Fat Badger restaurant offers an exquisite dining experience in the heart of Harrogate. The restaurant serves superb quality AA rosette food in elegant surroundings.
“Dining during Monday – Thursday your table is likely to be allocated into our bar area.
“Tables for our bar on weekends and outdoor patio all the time can not be booked in advance and are offered on a first come first served basis.
“Dogs are welcome if customers are happy to dine in our outdoor areas.”
A recent visitor commented: “Our favourite restaurant in Harrogate. We are lucky enough to visit once in a while. Arrive early and have a drink in the bar before being seated in the main restaurant. The food is always first class and priced reasonably, but it’s the staff that completes the experience.”
