Le Haricot

Head up towards Ranmoor and you'll find yourself in one of those neighbourhoods where good food quietly happens without much fuss. Le Haricot sits on Middlewood Road doing exactly what a proper French bistro should: nothing fancy, everything considered. You're looking at the sort of cooking that respects ingredients and technique without needing to shout about it. The fact that it's pulling near-perfect ratings from people who actually eat there regularly tells you everything you need to know. This is the place you take someone when you want them to understand why you live where you do.
