Harrogate's To-Do List

Things to do in Harrogate this week

August 18, 2025

Welcome back to the HGATE Newsletter!

FISK

FISK is a contemporary and stylish restaurant tucked away in Harrogate’s charming Montpellier Quarter. Led by Chef Patron Kanyana Williams, FISK offers a refined dining experience with a menu that celebrates the very best of fish and seafood, alongside thoughtfully crafted meat, poultry, and vegetarian dishes.

Set in a sleek modern space with relaxed background music, it’s the perfect setting for a leisurely lunch or elegant evening meal. One standout feature is the Veuve Clicquot Terrace, which comfortably seats 8 to 12 guests under heated canopies, making it an ideal spot for alfresco dining or drinks—right in the heart of Harrogate’s cobbled lanes.

For those who prefer a restaurant-quality experience at home, FISK at Home offers an extensive takeaway menu featuring many of the restaurant’s most popular dishes, including monkfish, beef, and vegetarian Massaman curry, and the indulgent spicy seafood paella—perfect for a romantic night in (with lobster available for that extra touch of luxury).

Open Tuesday to Saturday, midday till late, FISK is a must-visit for lovers of fresh, flavourful cuisine served with elegance and style.
