Look inside: Cafe Rita in Harrogate reopens as American diner
A new American diner that sells crocodile, ostrich and kangaroo burgers, as well as more traditional beef burgers, has opened in Harrogate.
The Fabulous 50s Diner opened today on the site of the former Cafe Rita on Bower Road, brightening up the street with its red and white striped walls and chequerboard floor.
Wagdy Mansour ran Cafe Rita with his wife Shirley for eight years and decided to go for something completely different. He said:
The brightly lit diner, which has images of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley outside, will open from 9am to 10pm seven days a week.
There are tables outside and it will have four booths inside when it reopens for indoor dining.
