Fish & Forest in York

Brilliant lunch at lovely new location on Grape Lane. Excellent tuna starter, followed by wonderful coley main, with delicious celeriac and creamy peppercorn sauce. Wine really on point too, especially the St Emilion. One of the best restaurants for fish in York - maybe only Roots is better (and you pay a lot lot more for that!) Service great too - Steph was really nice and kept us topped up!

Delicious food beautifully cooked. Great friendly service

Absolutely delicious food, where every single bite is an extraordinary experience. We with my partner were positively shocked. I’d say, fish and forest definitely should be on “must visit” list if you ever visit York. The team in the restaurant is super friendly and they kindly found seats for us despite not having booking reservation.

We had a great dinner for my daughter’s birthday. The service was attentive and good explanations were given of the dishes. The menu was limited, but this is always a good sign in my experience-not trying to do too much. There were vegetarian options in both starter and main course. The food was beautifully presented and extremely fresh. The venison was very tender and beautifully cooked. Starter portions were on the small side and the scallops were pretty tiny but very tasty. The only disappointment was the cheese. There was a rather un ceremoniously sliced triangle of quite dry Winchester cheese with a little bit of pickle and two slices of sourdough Melba, not very beautifully presented and I felt this was a rip off at £9. Overall however a delicious meal and would definitely return, avoiding the cheese course.

I went for a Saturday lunch and had a delicious and varied set of dishes, all of them well worth trying. The tuna, mallard and dessert with oat biscuits were both particularly great and worth visiting for those alone. I would caution that the wines are not great, though, particularly in comparison to other York restaurants of similar quality which both serve better wines and pair them better. Both our white (I forget the name) and the Pinot Noir were fine at best. I also strongly recommend that they install some sound proofing, as a loud group near us reverberated throughout. The cocktails (Peru to Japan and Chocolate Old Fashioned) were brilliant though, and very inventive.

We loved the food and service, however the choice of accompaniments was very limited, just 2. Our food was excellent, the monk fish and venison were amazing!! Would definitely go back and recommend you book without haste!!

We loved this place. We were always a fan of fish and forest but love Notes now. Erwan and his team were amazing and made us feel completely relaxed and at home, exactly what we wanted for Saturday afternoon drinks. Try Erwan’s cocktail too… really good! New place for locals in York. Enjoy!

Our first visit and definitely not our last but there were a couple of small nigles hence the 4 stars. Had a “snack” of what was billed as ceviche. Using zander from Holland… probably the only non local ingredient. Not a traditional ceviche but gorgeous.. a smoked chilli oil really added depth. So good we ordered a second. Starters were mixed.. blue fin tuna in a dashi broth was excellent. Sadly the venison tartar was over seasoned for our taste. I had a main of venison which was perfectly cooked. My partner had monkfish in cider (actually a starter) which was also great. We ordered sides of roast potatoes… sadly underwhelming and roast cauliflower which saved the day. Bit of a limited wine list. Service was excellent and personable. Bill for 2 with a bottle of wine and 10% came to £145 which was good for the quality of the food.

Stumbled upon this little gem in the narrow streets of York. Limited menu and expensive for lunch but mix up some fishy starters with a couple of sides and you have the perfect solution. Service good and a table near the window is perfect for serious people watching. Forgot to mention the roasted cauliflower- simply stunning!

The food was great, the service was charming. The noise level was unacceptable. We paid £85 a head for beautifully cooked food but the evening was ruined by loud music, people talking over the loud music and people shouting over the people talking over the loud music. When I go out for a meal, I want to be able to converse with the person sitting a couple of feet across the table. Had high expectations but won’t be back.

One of the best restaurant experiences we have had. Thursday night and every table full. Great atmosphere, cosy yet enough space between tables. It was clear the staff are enthusiastic about the food. The menu was brought to us on a chalkboard and was described in passionate detail with recommendations. The food was wonderful. The tomato starter was a real highlight, as were the roasted cauliflowers. We’ve eaten in many fantastic restaurants over the years and this was one of the best. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Well constructed dishes, and truly an enjoyable bite each time.

Best dinner menu I've had in York for a while, Fish and Forest are now at their new (former 1331) venue in Grape Lane. Our cocktails were excellent and a nice pre dinner treat. Staff we're charming and thoughtful, the atmosphere relaxed and purposeful without being too formal. The crab bao starter was a gorgeous seafood flavour bomb and well executed. The monk tail was meaty and packed with flavour. The venison main was beautifully cooked, moist with a delicious sauce. The plaice was fantastic - I was given two pieces to make up for a small one. The fish was cooked on the bone and all the better for it - the rich, creamy sauce with capers and a burst of redcurrants worked really well. Overall the standard of cookery was excellent, fun and much higher than I expected, so good value as well. Go, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for a fab evening 😊

Without a doubt some of the best fish of our lives (and one of us is from Spain and have had 100s of kgs of fish!) 🙌🏻 The flavours came together in an amazing way across dishes! The blue fin tuna belly melted in our mouths, the tomato tomato tomato dish with tomatoes, basil sorbet, strawberries, red onions, capers, and a pepper strawberry “jus” was next level, and the plaice was the most tender, fall-off-the-bone fish I’ve experienced in my life. And oh my lord, grenobloise sauce is just a buttery drop of heaven 😍 The team was amazing and a chat with the head chef and owner Stephen and the lovely chap in charge of drinks (didn’t catch his name) after dinner was just the cherry on top for a perfect evening. We had some different, very boozy, but nonetheless fantastic cocktails with our food and the warm, buzzy feeling in our cheeks left us with no regrets. Thank you Fish&Forest! We hope to be back someday 🩵

Chose this restaurant based on reviews. Wasn't disappointed. Although as moved to this location 4 weeks ago the photo of frontage not as is now Food and service excellent and brilliant music Highly recommend

Food was fresh and tasty. Some interesting pairing of flavours, which really worked. Staff were very friendly and lively. Special shout out to Steph who looked after us! On point all evening.

Starters were brilliant. Scottish plaise was so good, soft and tender. Dessert was okay.

Wonderful friendly, laid back restaurant. Luke is a very knowledgeable host and Steph is amazing in her menu descriptions.

Absolutely fantastic. Those sauces on the starters, wow!! Foodie trip to York started with dinner at Fish & Forest and it did not disappoint. Tucked away slightly out of the town centre and if you blinked whilst walking past you may miss it but the food served up here was so good. Currently (I believe the restaurant is relocating) a fairly small dining room right next to the kitchen, the room is filled with the great smell of what is being cooked. Starters were line caught brill with Bordelaise sauce and king scallop with XO sauce. The sauces alone were amazing and enhanced each plate beyond expectation. For mains there was Venison, carrot and jus , and sea bass with sauce charcuterie. The meal finished with a chocolate torte and a fruit crumble. Great service and an intimate vibe, the new place should be a must visit for anyone visiting.

This is one of York’s few Michelin approved restaurants. We visited it in its second venue in Micklegate and have since learnt it has temporarily closed before a third move to another nearby location. One of its curiosities is that is does not advertise anything other than a sample menu and does not even disclose a menu du jour until after taking drinks orders which is somewhat vexatious if one wishes to pair a wine with a specific dish. Perhaps this is a bad point as the menu changes little majoring on fish and venison. All the dishes we sampled were exquisite but we ended up ordering two bowls of rather crudely baked potatoes which were entirely otiose to requirements as our mains were already garnished.

Simply outstanding. Amazing food full of flavour and originality. Fantastic concept and sustainable ethos. Relaxed atmosphere with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Good luck with the move guys - I’ll be back next time I’m in York.

Food was excellent, expertly cooked & flavoursome. Only one dish failed to impress, a rather bland crumble. Aside from that top marks. The 4* rating is because the choice was so limiting - just 4 starters & 4 main courses to go at, & even fewer puds. Whilst I like menus to be concise, this was too limiting. Service was friendly & personal, every dish explained in well informed detail.

Not worthy of the Michelin mention. The first time I’ve ever disagreed with the Michelin guide. I wrote a long review but then realised nobody would read it. Food is average, staff are cheerful but inept and the venue is bland. Crockery was chipped and cutlery was stained. A shame, I was hoping for another good eatery in York but this is not somewhere I’d return.

Wonderful seafood. The scallops were perfect.

Beautiful meal. Fresh. Local. Seasonal! I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

Came for dinner a few weeks ago and still thinking about the delicious venison tartare!

I came here with my husband on our joint birthday. We had an excellent time with amazing food, my husband thinks it's his top meal ever. I am dairy intolerant and pregnant and I made the staff aware ahead of time that I might need some changes to dishes. They were so helpful and cooked me amazing dishes, even making me a dairy-free dessert which is nearly impossible to find in restaurants. It was the best experience for us, cannot recommend it enough!

The food was fantastic, carefully thought through dishes, with delicious flavour combinations. The staff were excellent, menu was explained and they all knew the dishes so were able to offer insights and advice when needed. A must if visiting York or celebrating an occasion!

Wonderful place with amazing food. Staff were really knowledgeable about the dishes and engaging and friendly. A must visit for anyone travelling to York!

I don't usually write reviews or remember to leave them.. but .. in this instance.. is a must . I didn't know what to expect when I got to the restaurant but I just enjoyed the most fantastic ,exquisite and perfectly executed meal that I had in a few years. Thank you . If I will return to York from Ireland you will be the reason for it.

Wow! A well deserved Michelin Star. Food was exquisite, staff were friendly and super helpful.

Highly recommend. Absolutely amazing food and service. Every dish we chose and ate was a food extravaganza.

Yes! I'll keep it short and sweet. I keep saying it and will keep saying it, Steve cooks fish better than any chef, in my humble experience. Not only is it the cooking, but the sauce and accompanying flavours.. Today was Scallops and XO sauce followed by seabass in buttermilk and wild garlic from Yohan's garden. Generous portion of 3 scallops, cooked to perfection. Lovely crust on one side and a centre as soft as a Hungarian goose down pillow! I could have drunk a glass of the sauce. Seabass isnt the most flavoursome fish but is lovely and delicate. The smoky crusty skin from the konro grill was amazing and the wild garlic was sensational, there as a very restrained flavour. Steve, Steph and the rest of the team thank you. Was great to chat after about your plans for the future......keep doing what makes you guys so special and it'll all work out

We love this place and Stephen, Yohann, Steph and the rest of the staff. We brought friends, had an animal and can’t wait to come back. One of York’s best.

A stunning meal. Love that the menu is straight forward, from starter to dessert each dish was esquiste. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

We visited last night for my partners birthday meal and the service and food we received was exceptional. From the get go the quiet and quaint atmosphere was so relaxed, non stuffy and welcoming to people from all walks of life, and the two lovely ladies serving simply could not do enough for us. The complimentary glasses of fizz for the occasion was a surprising, and very lovely touch! The food was absolutely out of this world, our particular favourites were the Venison main and the carrot cake dessert- sublime! Could not fault this place at all- we shall be returning!

Really loved this restaurant, personal service with a small beautiful menu. Every element of each dish described by the lovely gentleman that served us. Food was delicious as was the wine and really reasonably priced.

I went here for the first time with my partner for a late valentine's treat. Pre-booked using their website without problems. I have to say the front of the building was so understated that it would be easy to walk on by. Indeed I have walked past this restaurant many times without realising it was a restaurant. However, once inside we realised we'd walked into foodie paradise. Very friendly staff upon arrival and the friendlinesss with just the right amount of attentiveness carried on throughout our visit. One thing to be aware of, the menu does not have hundreds of choices. There were 4 starters and 4 mains on the lunchtime menu - don't know whether the evening menu has more items. The kitchen is pretty small and open, so probably would not be able to cater for lots more choice. I think the menu does change seasonably though. For us, we'd rather see a small amount of choices well produced, so we were very happy. Pre-starters: A couple of oysters each - well prepared and delicious Starters: scallops (3 each) in the most amazing sauce. Up there with the best we've had. Mains: 3-ways prepared venison. Beautiful and served with slightly pickled beetroot and a beetroot sauce. Stunning! Veg (roasted potato and tenderstem brocolli) were fine but were charged as an extra. Pudding: Carrot cake. Brought the meal to a lovely end. Conclusion: we've eaten in York many times over the last 30 odd years. We are struggling to recall a meal we have had that was as memorable as this. I guess that means we'll have to come back

This is not my first trip to fish and forest. My first experience was over 2 years ago and I loved it. So I decided to book for valentines and go with my partner. I exoected that the portions would be smaller with it now having Michelin star status as I am not a stranger to fine dining. However, I was shocked at the diminished portion size from my first visit. We didn’t order a starter mainly because the £15 price tag was off putting. We ordered sea bass with salsify and samphire with an extra side of potatoes. The fish dishes were £27 each and the potatoes £5. All that arrived was a piece of fish with a small amount of thinly sliced salsify and some samphire in a sauce. There was no other components to create a meal. The dish itself was more suited to being a starter. It tasted amazing and cooked to perfection but there was simply not enough food. Even with the extra potatoes. I ordered cheese and crackers after and a singular slice of cheese was presented with cracker thins that were beyond dry, brittle and burnt in taste. Very unpleasant. This is so disappointing as the first time I came I was presented with a decent dish of food, I left satisfied and really enjoyed the visit. This time I left disappointed and hungry, and £100 lighter for 2 mains, 1 side, 1 cheese and crackers and 3 small beers. I don’t mind paying more for good food, I expect smaller delicate portions but £27 for a piece of fish and some sauce is a step too far. Very sad as the previous trip was perfect. Staff and setting were great however and the place was clean and has a homely feel to it.

From the moment we walked through the door we felt like we had entered a different world. Perfect service, whatever the next level is to perfect food, relaxed and calm environment. Even the soundtrack could have been tailored for us. Pre-snacks of oysters and sourdough, then starters of scallops (thanks for the spoon to get the last drop of xo sauce). Mains was venison in a flavour popping combination of sauce flavours (beetroot, red wine, chive...). We ordered potatoes and broccoli but honestly didn't need them. To finish carrot cake (cannot explain how next level this was) and cheese. Now saving up for our next visit. You have spoilt us for eating anywhere else.

What a find! I went with my boyfriend for a romantic meal and it didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing. I would highly recommend

Wonderful restaurant. Friendly staff, delightful atmosphere and superb food. We will be back!

Incredible meal at Fish & Forest during a recent visit to York. We’d heard good things about the restaurant and weren’t disappointed … delicious food and great service. Difficult to choose a favourite dish as they were all exceptional! Can’t wait to return.

Bottom line was the food didn't blow me away. Service was good, ingredients seemed good, atmosphere is fine. I had a special tuna carpaccio (very meaty) and a sea bream with a side of red cabbage (which was particularly average). As I day, it didn't blow me away. On our table there was also an order of venison which I was told was the star of the show. I think its decent, but I won't be rushing back.

Wonderfully sourced, prepared and served! A real delight!

My husband picked this most wonderful restaurant’ comfy atmosphere- house restaurant - Michelin listed - in beautiful York. We live in Florida so everything was so different. I mention that because the starter special was a freshly caught tuna carpaccio- I understand that tuna caught in UK waters is rare. It melted in my mouth. Very different flavor than tuna in the US. My husband had sea bass with wild mushrooms- he enjoyed this immensely and I had the venison. Wow- wish I could get this flavor in the US. Super lean, no gaminess and texture like a filet. It was a wonderful start to our 20th wedding anniversary. Most wonderful service too- becoming so rare everywhere in the world anymore.

Very pretentious. Great waiter but the food is way over the top rich flavour I wouldn’t go back

Too many amateur dramatics during service very tongue in cheek 😶unfortunately the food was under seasoned underwhelming and over priced !

Wonderful very unassuming little place with fantastic service and incredible food. 10/10 experience. We will be back and we were advising people passing us as we left to do the same! Even in the winter time, the little booths in the covered garden area were super cozy and warmed so don't discount these tables either. This place was excellent as a family meal location and would also be perfect for special occasions.

Absolutely brilliant. Staff were friendly, attentive and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Food was amazing. Brilliantly presented with fantastic flavours. Atmosphere was lovely, very cosy with good music and good space, neither too loud or too quiet. Priced very reasonably for what you get. Will definitely return when next in town.

Our 2nd visit and it didn't disappoint. The service was excellent and the food even better. What a find. Love this place.

Visited with 3 colleagues from work. Lovely food, friendly service and just all round nice night out. Everyone’s choices were perfectly cooked and enjoyed. The menu was interesting and, whilst 4-5 choices per course, deceptively difficult to make your mind up as all the options both sounded great and were unique in their own way. It’s nice to go to a restaurant where they just get on and bring you table water without fuss or having to ask (and top ups too), alongside the main drinks orders - nice and simple touch but sums up the service ethos that we experienced all night. Definitely going back.

Really enjoyed our Lunch at Fish & Forest. Small, friendly restaurant with really helpful staff. I had Stone bass with a rouge beurre to start, with spouse and daughter opting for Mallard ravioli. We all had Venison to follow (amazing flavour) and two of us struggled (!) with dessert: rice pudding with a winter ice-cream, and a festive Bread & Butter Pud. Good range of well priced wines. A real treat having such a lovely restaurant so close to where we live. Highly recommended.

Our first time in York from Birmingham. I’d scoped out plenty of restaurants and was sold utterly for date night. I am a fish lover! The waitress was just absolutely incredible and no question was too much. Her energy created the vibe of this restaurant as well as the open kitchen feel. There is a lot of love that goes into this food! Venison main was incredible. Portions beautiful on the mains and the oyster and bread pre starters if you will were delectable. This place has everything going for it. All the reviews speak for themselves. We WILL be back with the family. Xx

We made this our last supper in york before moving on to pastures new. What an evening we had! From a very warm greeting on a snowy day talking about where we were moving and why we chose this as our last supper. Every mouthful was pure delight, we wanted to try everything on the menu so just choosing one course each was tough! Everyone made sure we were so well looked after and it was such a special dinner! If you’re after a true adventure not just on your plate but learning the sourcing of all the ingredients to appreciate the seasonality this truly is the place for you! I can’t rave enough how much it meant to us finishing an important chapter of our lives with a bang!

Faultless, from the wonderful, knowledgeable table service to excellent well thought out food combinations, with an emphasis on fresh seasonal ingredients. The only thing you need to do before leaving is to book your next visit. Thank you for a great dining experience Fish and Forest.

An absolute triumph! The service was top-notch, the plates were nothing short of spectacular, and the staff displayed a genuine passion for what they do. The game was simply fabulous, especially the venison dish we enjoyed in December. It was flawlessly served with potato and cranberry, and I've never tasted better venison or a more original preparation. This was a perfect dinner experience, making it our absolute favorite restaurant in York.

Nice small restaurant, food outstanding, on the way to getting in the good book we all think.

What a find. The menu is small but what we had was amazing. There is an open kitchen and the staff are very informative and friendly. Would definitely go there again.

Had an excellent lunch here with the family. Friendly, helpful and informal (in a good way) service with superb food that’s completely in keeping with their stated ethos of seasonality and sustainability. Starters were stone bass with beurre rouge, monkfish cevice and onion millefeuille, and we all had a different favourite. Our mains were venison with Jerusalem Artichokes and sea bass with mushrooms, then chocolate delice and bergamot panna cotta for pudding. Decent well priced wines. Everything beautifully cooked and hearty portions. I really can’t find fault and it was good value to boot. What is really impressive is that the menu constantly changes. To sum up, it’s the ideal, small slightly informal independent restaurant and we’ll definitely be back.

Only good things to say about Fish and Forest. Great quality food and super service. Even though the menu is compact, all dishes were appealing to make the choice tricky. Everything was well prepared and presented immaculately. Would highly recommend and would certainly revisit in the future.

We had a great night at this small but perfect restaurant. It had been an extremely wet day and it was a pleasure to be greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. We enjoyed all three courses. We don’t dine out often but when we...

A true find in independent restaurants. Fantastic menu and fabulous cookery which changes daily according to what they source. This isn’t a chain restaurant with a regular menu and is fabulous for that. If you love food , fantastic flavours don’t pass this one by.

We walked past it at first. Thought it was just your average cafe from outside, how wrong we were. It has both outstanding food and service. We had a gorgeous meal. The fish was cooked perfectly, and the flavours were amazing. The staff are friendly...

The oyster here is sooooooo fresh and delicious!!! My favourite York restaurant ever!

Pretentious but OK. Staff wouldn't even call us a taxi.

We dined in this restaurant 1st December and have a mixed opinion. Whilst the starter and main courses (the stars of the show) were amazing and full of flavour, the bread for starters were so bland and lacked any flavour and the bread was so...

Disappointed by our lunch. Venison was good. Coley was overcooked and peppercorn sauce totally overwhelming - a very unbalanced dish. Sourdough was pretty bland and undersalted.

It’s hard to comprehend how this very small kitchen can produce such outstanding food, it was truly exceptional. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere, friendly and efficient front of house staff, a good wine list and food that was simply glorious. Every single bite was...

Amazing food and great service, not cheap but worth it.

We chose this fairly new restaurant close to the heart of York more or less at random after seeing the name on Google Maps, and we were delighted to have taken a chance on it. Innovative cooking in relaxed surroundings made for an excellent evening...

We eat out regularly and across the full range of restaurants. The food for all of us was superb and combined with the friendly and informal atmosphere it makes for a 5 star experience.

Stephen and Johan you never fail to please. Amazing meal and service. Love you all. Everyone needs to eat here at least once. Fish and daal amazing and the venison was to die for. Crispy carrot skin…OMG!!! We’ll be back xx

Little hidden gem of a restaurant. Fantastic food and great service.

The food was amazing with a small menu which they change every day. I had one of the best oysters ever tried too. I will definitely come back to try their delicacies again. Well done guys.

We really enjoyed our dinner last night. The food was innovative but not fussy. The ingredients top notch - we had stone bass, monkfish, Coley and Partridge. The sauces set us discussing the combination of ingredients and all agreed the final flavours were sublime. The serves were generous which is often not the case at such speciality restaurants nowadays. Highly recommended for your stay in York. Thank you Steph and team for a great dining experience.

What not to like? This unpretentious restaurant is packed full of people who are passionate about glorious sustainable food made from locally sourced produce. We loved the warm welcome, the well balanced menu and the attention to small details in the food presentation. We will...

Second visit to Fish and Forest and we weren't disappointed. Service is warm and welcoming and food is delicious! We'll definitely be back

Wonderful place! Fresh, tasty food with relaxed but attentive service (and great music!) Menu changes daily but we had meat, fish and vegetarian between us and all options were something we'd never had before and really treated our taste buds! I especially liked the chilled atmosphere that still felt special. They assumed you'd want tap water (not expensive bottled stuff) but the drinks list also had really unique items to try. Staff wore trainers but were super knowledgeable about their dishes and provenance of ingredients. Non alcoholic beer was top notch and adapting meals was no problem. Super impressed - will definitely be back!

Love this place. Stephen and Johanne are the best and the food is to die for. Fresh ingredients, excellent service and always a warm welcome. This is the only restaurant in York that I would go as a woman in my own. If you haven’t...

Nice little restaurant that actually feels comfy and not too posh. Staff explained the menu very well and were very knowledgeable when asked about things. Amongst other dishes we had some really great oysters also the skate and venison which were our main dishes were...

Amazing food and amazing service. I can’t wait to go back.

Such an amazing experience. The food was superb and the knowledge of the very helpful waitresses was second to none. All of the staff were full of enthusiasm and if you go give the Orange Wine a try!

Calling all foodies. We booked this place for a meal last night purely based on the Google review star score of 4.8. Not been before but what a total wow experience. We purposely chose different dishes so we could try each others. Each course served...

Really excellent food. Great taste and quailty. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Will certainly go again

First time here, can't wait to go back. Great experience from start to finish. Food and service exceptional. The Halibut Grenobloise (pictured) was unbelievable.

Lovely spot on Micklegate. Fantastic lunch of venison and fish. Faultless. Lovely service and great playlist. Also they were happy to let us browse the cookbook selection!

Really good cooking with enthusiastic staff giving excellent explanation of the menu, with focus on traceable ingredients.

What a lovely place.. chilled atmosphere and some really delicious food. Oysters , scallops, monkfish, venison and grouse breast really talented chef can’t wait to go back !

Really delicious food beautifully cooked. It’s a small menu but a good choice for meat lovers and fish. There is a vegan option if you love your veg! Service was excellent my only wish is for more comfortable seating.

Amazing food and service. Our first visit and won’t be the last. Food was delicious served by such enthusiastic and knowledgeable waitresses. Can’t wait to return

Lovely meal, great staff. Plenty of information about the food. We had oysters to start, then a venison and a scallop starter, all were excellent but the scallops were is a corn soup which was amazing. For mains I had the halibut in a bread and butter sauce with basil oil. My parter had venison. These were both very good but the halibut was particularly great. Nice bottle of rose. All came to around £140 plus tip. Looks they update their menu very regularly. Would happily go back.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal here for my Wife's birthday. The small but perfect menu had us savouring every option and wavering with indecision, much to the team's amusement. We could not have been happier with the delicious food, delivered with fantastic, friendly, and professional service. The bonus prosecco for my wife's birthday was a lovely and unexpected touch as well. Thanks guys, we will be back!

From the outside the restaurant looks like a shop front don’t let this put you off, once inside you are met by very friendly staff who show you to one of the tables in the cozy space which has a lovely atmosphere. The menu is...

Absolutely best restaurant in uk. Foods and service was excellent.

We enjoyed an outstanding lunch today. Although the venison was tempting we went for fish. The Sea Bass and Halibut were cooked to perfection and both came with imaginative and delicious sauces. The starters of scallops and monk tail were fantastic. Would also recommend the Chocolate Delice for desert . Fantastically friendly, helpful and informative service. Not sure i have come across a better non Michelin star restaurant in Yorkshire. Would thoroughly recommend

We stayed in York for 4 days and went to the F&F, as it was recommended by a friend for the ‘great fish dishes’. Unfortunately the choice of fish was limited to 2 (on the day we went) so I ended up having venison, which...

This is the best meal out we have had in a really long time... thank you so much to both the kitchen and front of house for a fab evening. The food was fantastic and we could have happily ordered the whole menu!! Ambiance and excellent service ensured we relaxed and had everything we hoped for from a special meal out :)

One of the best meals I've ever eaten. The medley of beetroot was amazing. The halibut I had for my mains was delicious and my hubbies venison looked and tasted superb. We even managed desserts. The chocolate delicious was simple scrummy. 😋

Don't fooled by the modest appearance of the entrance. This is an excellent place to eat. We were made extremely welcome by the young lady and gentleman who looked after us at table and their passion for food and care for their customers were clearly...
