A NEW restaurant and bar has announced its long-anticipated opening date as it undergoes a £2 million transformation.

Sancerre, named after the famous wine region in France, will offer fine dining and a contemporary bar in the old library building on Otley Road in Guiseley. 

Sancerre is set to open on Friday, May 26 with a menu featuring everything from mussels marinére steamed in white wine and afternoon teas to pan-seared sea bass or beef cheek with rich bourguignon sauce.

The region’s famous Sauvignon Blanc will be used in many of the dishes at Sancerre. 

The drinks menu has a selection of wines and spirits as well as Sancerre’s own cocktails. 

Meanwhile there’ll be something for people looking for lunches and light bites.
