Everything was great about this place and well-priced considering what you get. Deservedly has Michelin status based on the food alone and would happily go again. Great atmosphere and ambience, we spent nearly 4 hours here, and it flew by.

From the moment we entered the building we felt immediately relaxed, the atmosphere was just right, and the staff were all so welcoming and friendly. The food here is out of this world, Michelin star worthy without a doubt, and I feel qualified to say that having experienced many meals at 1,2 and 3 star restaurants. We cannot wait to come back when the taster menu changes and I highly recommend Meltons for a cosy night with your partner, family or friends - it’s relaxed and not stuffy but has a wonderful air of finesse - the wine pairings were also very good! Thank you to all the team.

We dined here yesterday evening and opted for the taster menu with wine flight. Absolute delight from start to finish. Personal favourites were the salt beef collection paired with a robust yet silky Moldovan red (who knew?) and a sensational pudding combination of pickled blackberries and almond cakes paired with a gooey, unctuous muscat. The food was outstanding and the sommelier was passionate and knowledgeable, introducing each pairing with real vim. Lovely comfortable atmosphere and great value for money. Highly recommend for a birthday treat!

Every course was incredibly well composed and delicious. It is the best meal I have had for a long time and cannot fault any part of the experience.

Our first visit to Meltons in York. From the moment your walk in your greeted we a friendly welcome. Promptly sat and, presented with water and the drinks/wine menu which, was very extensive. The lady who owned it is very knowledgeable on wines and we opted for a French Sauvignon which was perfect. Probably one of the best wines I've had. Opted for a 2nd bottle to take rest away but, it got drunk of course. Presented with the menu and we opted for the Tasting Menu, the presentation and popping off flavours and textures was amazing. We were there for 3 hours taking our time and enjoying all Meltons has to offer. The lady owner also chatted to us about their background, my choice as I love to hear a back story. Staff are not intrusive but certainly was fabulous service. We will be back. You can certainly see they have owned it for 30 years as a family, very classic and not pretentious as some high end places can be. I miss some of the restaurants from the late 80's to mid 2000 that where very classic sadly no longer open. Also looking forward to trying their other business Walmgate Ale House and it's restaurant The Chopping Block

My daughter has lived in York for 4 years and we have been meaning to visit Meltons for ages. We finally made it on her last night in York before moving away! And we regretted not coming sooner. Everything was perfect- the food , the wine , the service. We liked in particular the little crudités, amuse bouche and homemade breads and whipped butters we were offered before our starters even arrived. Someone in the kitchen is very skilled for sure! The food was delicious - every course but especially our desserts. We will be back if and when we return to York to visit.

This is the second time we have visited Meltons, the first being one of the best meals we have had! It has been a fair few years ago now and we keep seeing their food on Instagram, so thought we would arrange another trip up to York specifically to go back to Meltons! We have now been to a number of Michelin starred restaurants since, however I am so pleased to say Meltons is still up there with our best meals to date. Lucy and her team are very welcoming and very informed about the food (and wine in Lucy’s case) they serve, and the kitchen do an amazing job of serving some beautiful looking and deliciously tasting food! Our second meal was as nice as our first, keep up the awesome work guys, the value for money for the quality of food and wine is Amazing 😀

It is a place to celebrate an event or to celebrate food and to celebrate just being alive! From the first canape, through the delicious bread, the fine asparagus and stuffed morels and the cod dish that my husband declored to be one of the best fish dishes he has ever eaten.

I was given a birthday voucher for Melton's to use whilst in York for a long weekend. We went for dinner last Saturday and arrived for our 7.30pm booking to be given a choice of the remaining two seat tables by a very friendly and welcoming member of the team. My daughter had arranged a bottle of fizz to get us going, which was a lovely surprise. Some complimentary canapes arrived - a beetroot macaron, a beer croustade with venison, and a light-as-a-feather fishy cracker - all absolutely divine! We were then presented with an amuse bouche - a splendid cauliflower concoction that was as good as I've ever had. The flavoured butters and bread were also exceptional. On to the menu proper - all delivered, and expertly explained, by Harvey with an evident passion for the food - the starter was a stuffed morel with confit chicken wing, white asparagus and wild garlic - such a clever combination of flavours which worked superbly. The main was the most flavoursome piece of beef, salt aged, with kohlrabi, roscoff onion and mustard leaf - and was delicious. We opted for the well chosen cheese course, and were presented with an excellent selection of 5 cheeses with a mix of crackers. The finale was an extraordinary dessert of forced rhubarb with spiced pain perdu, blood orange, marscapone, and yoghurt. It was absolutely spectacular! The flavour and texture combinations were amazing. The team at Melton's have a mention in the Guide Michelin, but it is surely only a matter of a short time before their culinary excellence is rewarded with a star.

Fine dining without the mega budget. Drinks are particularly fair value and Lucy, the owner, is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable sommelier. This place should have at least 3 rosettes and we've definitely had worse meals from Michelin star restaurants. For under £100 you get a 7 course tasting menu, and every dish was picture perfect (see pics) and beautifully balanced. My favorite was the beef with Roskoff onion's and 3 purees: horseradish heat, a smooth something (celeriac?) and a finely chopped pickle? And a slice of salt baked kohlrabi. The staff were running up and down the stairs with the food going great guns. They seemed like they enjoyed their work and we're a great team. Lovely old house as well. Reserve weeks in advance.

Certainly the best dishes we had in York were at Meltons Restaurant with Chef Calvin Miller and joint owner Lucy Hjort. Cold evening walk to the other side of York from where we were staying and very nearly called to cancel and eat more locally - what a stupid thing to do that would have been. Brilliant cooking and presentation with friendly service and a warm atmosphere. The dishes we had included: Morel stuffed with mushroom, marinated and roast white asparagus and wild garlic. North Sea cod, jersey royals and smoked pike roe sauce. Forced rhubarb, spiced perdu, blood orange mascarpone and yogurt. An interesting wine list created by someone with skill and knowledge at reasonable prices. Do your taste buds a favour and go there.

We had a fantastic meal at this restaurant, outside the hectic centre of York. The food was Michelin star quality and the service was friendly, well informed and attentive. We turned up without a reservation early on a Saturday lunchtime and were lucky to get a table cause it was nearly full by the end of service. We had three courses and a half bottle of wine. The canapés (3 each) and the amuse bouche were delicious and generous. Then the rest of the courses were all fabulous - tasty and beautiful. An unexpected gem in suburban York. It's not cheap but this sort of quality takes time and skill. In terms of value for money it's a bargain.

The restaurant had just the right ambience without being too busy, the food and service were both flawless, we couldn’t have asked for more. Having been very lucky over the years to have experienced some very fine dining kitchens, I would say Melton’s holds it own, without the clinical service some establishments offer. The welcome and service was excellent and the food from the tasting menu sublime, absolutely the best desert of rhubarb I have ever had! Superb!

The restaurant filled up quickly though and there wasn’t an empty seat, which says a lot. We had opted for the tasting menu together with the wine flight. The food was absolutely delicious and very well presented with lots of elements to each dish. The staff were excellent at describing each course and were very knowledgeable about the dishes and the ingredients. The wines had been paired with each course and they were very good and complemented the food perfectly. We were not rushed at all through our courses and the whole evening was a lovely experience.

An amazing meal, we had the tasting menu, which was fabulous. We had excellent service. We selected our own wines with some help from the owner. All in all a fantastic meal one of the best we have ever had

We had a small celebration in Melton's after our wedding last week. We were really satisfied and impressed with the service provided. We were served in the private function room upstairs. The communication was very clear and smooth since the beginning. We really appreciated Melton's effort to accommodate our guests dietary requirement with alternative options. Melton's placed name cards according to seating plan and that really touched our hearts because we didn't request this. We started at 1pm but Melton's did not rush through our courses although they usually close in the afternoon. The courses were served in timely manner and allowed us had time to chat with our guests. Apart from the great service, the food was impressive and delicious. I personally had been there twice before but was still amazed how tasteful they are. All of guests had the tasting menu and were blown away by the delicious food. The stars are the Amuse Bouche and the two options of mains (Salt Aged Beef and Skrei Cod). Two of our guests left with saying "it was one of the best meals in my life". Thank you, Melton's, for creating us beautiful memories.

We had the taster menu with the wine pairing. The flavours in every course were delightful, and the wine perfectly selected to match. The knowledge of the team and owner made the experience all that more special. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again.

This was our fourth visit to Meltons, my favourite restaurant in York. Brilliant cooking and the dishes are so light and delicious that even with the extra treats provided I didn’t feel too full at the end of the meal. I am intolerant to gluten, and the restaurant caters so well for this. Most of the dishes can be adapted so I never feel I’m missing out. Friendly, unpretentious with amazing food and wines.

Love this restaurant. We ate with friends last night and chose the 3 course menu which was outstanding and probably the best dinner out we’ve had this year. The service was also excellent and the atmosphere was buzzing with pre Christmas merriment. Well done Meltons, we will be back in 2024!

We had dinner with friends last night 22/12 and we had the most outstanding meal. It was one of the best we’ve had in a very long time. The service was excellent too and we will be back in the new year!

What a gem, just outside York centre. We enjoyed the taster menu and wine pairing. Our servers were passionate about both food and wine and we came away wanting to return ASAP. Well worth a visit.

Been here 4 times now over 18 months making a deliberate break on my way to and from Scotland. Not food just to eat but to appreciate. Some excellent wines (some expensive - over £100). Tasting menu is a delight. Each course has great flavours and textures. You do not eat it - you savour every morsel. Fine Dining

What a find! A small, but intimate restaurant with amazing tasting menu. Worth the trip from the Fylde Coast. The staff were friendly and attentive as well as knowledgeable without being over fussy. The food was out of this world and portions were sizeable. Great place, shame it’s so far away from where we live

I’m not sure I can add much to the praise that’s already been given to this wonderful restaurant. If you haven’t been, you should. If you have been before go again. Absolute quality, served by wonderful people.

An impromptu stay over in York. There are numerous fine dining restaurants to choose from but feel we made a great choice. Warmly welcomed and in fact service was excellent throughout, professional but very friendly. At the end of the day at this level it's all about the food, which was excellent, we opted for 5 courses with wine pairings. Best meal for quite some time and a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Not cheap but felt good value. Look forward to returning.

Popped in for some late afternoon food and to avoid the weather. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Value for money was really good and tasty. The atmosphere was a little quiet for us but not in a bad way. Thank you so much for the food and hot drinks!

Went in for drinks, couldn’t believe how inattentive and rude the staff seemed. There were two other customers in the whole place but for some reason they seated us right next to the door and it was freezing. We moved to the next table and the waitress immediately came over to tell us the table was ‘specifically reserved’ in an icy tone. There was no reservation sign on the table and as I have said, hardly any customers. She offered to put the door heater on for us but we said we would prefer to sit further in and she allowed this. No one came to sit at the table she claimed was reserved throughout the time we were there. We had espresso martinis which were watery and foamy. Unbelievably, we were charged for the amazing service we had not received on our two drinks. If I had realised sooner I would have asked them to take this off. Incredibly disappointed.

This restaurant is a little gem serving a limited, but wide ranging, menu which ought to satisfy everyone. The food is, without exception, interesting, innovative and very well cooked or, in the case of deserts, very well prepared and put together. The two dining rooms, while not glamorous, are cosy and comfortable. You don't come to this place to show off, rather you come here because the food is superb. Service is brilliant too. Very friendly and helpful staff and no rushing. 2 minutes from the Minster, 10 minutes from the station, and backing onto the city walls, this place is easy to find and very accessible. I really can't recommend No 8 Bistro highly enough
