Former Roberto's Italian restaurant in Batley to reopen as Cafe J'Adore
A popular Italian restaurant in Batley that closed down last year will reopen as a breakfast and brunch place.
Roberto’s, in Market Place, closed its door after 38 years last spring.
Plans are now in place to open a branch of breakfast, brunch, burgers and croissants specialists Cafe J’Adore.
The restaurant’s first branch is on Chester Street in Bradford, near to the city’s Alhambra theatre.
“Work is almost complete on our amazing Café number 2 and we cannot wait to show you what we’re bringing. Stay tuned, this one’s very special.”
The Bradford branch has won numerous awards for best restaurant in the city and the owners are also opening a new events space.
The cafe’s website says: “Café J'Adore is more than a dining destination—it's an experience. Born from a passion for merging haute cuisine with high fashion aesthetics, we've created a space where every detail matters.
"From the carefully curated interiors to our meticulously crafted dishes, we believe that beauty and taste should go hand in hand. Each plate is a work of art, each moment an opportunity to savor something extraordinary.”
The venue also serves mains, desserts and mocktails.
Announcing the closure of Roberto’s last year on Facebook, the owner’s said: “We have been blessed with running Roberto’s now, for over 22 years.
"We have watched some of you grow up into beautiful adults since first visiting us as toddlers and even newborns.
“We've loved being a part of this wonderful community and have made so many wonderful friends - you know who you are.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we share with you that Roberto’s is now no longer. We made the difficult decision to close the doors of our beloved restaurant.
“It’s been an incredible ride, with moments of joy, excitement, seemingly insurmountable odds, and invaluable learning.
“We are filled with immense pride for everything we have accomplished as a team, whose passion and hard work have been the core of our journey, and we’re grateful to them beyond words for every moment.”
