Skosh in York

Phenomenal evening with our family from Denmark at this fantastic restaurant. The food is excellent and interesting, however this is enhanced and surpassed by the amazing service we have received. Big shout to Liam who made us so welcome however the biggest cheers go for the phenomenal Amy. You are one of the best members of staff in hospitality we have come across in many years. Skosh hang on to Amy , she is an absolute star!!!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Had a set menu lunch for a group of 6. The food was incredible, equally as good as any Michelin starred restaurant I've been to previously. Favourites were cured trout, Katsu chicken, beef, and of course the egg! We had one vegetarian in the group who was catered for brilliantly with a vege alternative provided alongside each meat and fish course. The service from the whole team was faultless and we all enjoyed an amazing, fun filled, experience to celebrate my friend's birthday. Can't thank Skosh enough and cannot wait for the next visit.

This restaurant went the extra mile to offer me an interesting and exciting menu to meet my vegan and gluten intolerant diet. Usually when I dine out I'm left out but I was totally included and for each dish served on the sharing menu, I was given an alternative. The service and communication was amazing. Thank you.

Went to Skosh for a weekend away with my partner. The food was really different and delicious. The decor was trendy and modern. The staff were efficient and helpful. The cost was very reasonable considering the quality (£100 for two people having 2 drinks each, sharing a desert and having 5-6 small plates between the two of us). Minor complaint: waited slightly too long for our liking between plates 3-4 and 5-6 (the restaurant was very busy at the time). Almost perfect.

Everything about Skosh is spot on! We enjoyed wonderful food and faultless service. A real treat!!

Really nice place on a cute street with Asian inspired sharing plates that punch. Walked in without a reservation at lunch and shared 6 dishes between two, mostly focusing on veg - with one memorable fried chicken massam-type dish (not veg, obviously). Nothing too surprising but all very tasty and generous in size. Perhaps a little too reliant on chili flakes. Bill came to £65 without wine which felt a good price.

One of my favourite Michelin restaurants. Service was surprisingly attentive and fast for a small and busy restaurant.

Awesome meal. Really enjoyed the food and the variety of tastes. Will be back.

We’ve been to many Michelin restaurants, but Skosh fell short. While the food was great, and well presented, it wasn’t anything that gave a wow. This was also challenged by the lack of a warm service and lighting in the back room beside the kitchen that was way too bright. Through a few small updates, Skosh could be fantastic, but it’s not there yet.

A truly wonderful dining experience. Neil and his team are running an absolute gem of a restaurant. Food is delicious , staff are friendly, attentive without being overbearing and very knowledgeable. No hesitation in recommending Skosh to anyone. Already planning my next visit !

If you are looking for a culinary experience, this is the place. They went the extra mile for my food allergies. Amazing food. Very creative. Impeccable service If you are looking for a dining experience, this is the place. They paid special attention to my food allergies. Incredible creative and succulent dishes. Impeccable service

Wow! First Michelin restaurant and it did not disappoint!! Maria helped us with wonderful selections. Every single thing we had was delicious!

We were there just last week for the first time and it was a lovely experience. The restaurant is quite cosy and the vibe is laidback. Staff is professional, friendly and polite, very attentive to every little detail. As we had never been before, I asked our waitress, Maria, about her tips as to what to order; she was really knowledgeable, clearly listened to our preferences and made suggestions accordingly, which I really appreciated. It's a great place to have a true culinary experience, especially if you appreciate Asian flavours. Definitely recommended!

We were on a tour of the UK for two weeks and this was definitely the best meal we had. Everything was flavourful and interesting. The servers recommended 6-7 dishes for two people, and we ordered 8 and got too much food. Stick to what they recommend!

We went here for our anniversary and were seated so we could see the kitchen. The staff were fantastic, full of information and very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely amazing. We have already recommended it to a number of people that visit York to try it.

As always, Skosh was incredible! Amy was just amazing, as were the chefs - we've been so many times and each time is better than the last!!

we found skosh while on a city break in York, the menu is amazing covering all the flavours of the world, I love small plates dining, we had the famous egg which was amazing, bloody Mary oysters, corn fritters, feta aguachilli, fried chicken, pork belly and miso aubergine all of which were delicious, we had a cheese course and shared a pudding, everything about skosh was amazing from start to finish., drinks service food ambience and a great table to watch the chefs working. meal for 2 with cocktails and a bottle of wine for 120 quid cannot be beaten, thank you all at skosh

From beginning to end a sheer delight! The food, ambience and the staff on a different level…. Ross, Maria, Aime, Amna, Amelia to name but a few! And of course The 10 year old Chef!😂! A must for foodies! X

Excellent service. Superb food. Very enjoyable evening.

Really great food, at a reasonable price considering the exceptional quality. Really good service from Amna & Maria too. Loved the hens egg.

A very diverse range of dishes inviting you to try something new. The staff was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the food menu. We sat a table overlooking the kitchen - a very nice spot to guess and get inspired by the chef's creations.

Took my friend for her birthday. it was a wonderful experience .the food was amazing the waiter was so intensive .and all the staff were great to .will be back and recommend to everyone well do to you all

Still probably the best food to be had in York. It’s a shame since the expansion that the tables are so close together.

A wonderful experience. A delicious variety of tastes and textures

Such a lively place after the refurb, need to book well in advance. They have lots of bar seats available as walk ins. The food is exceptional, service so good, cocktails fab. Had the Utaapam waffle, Duck, finshed with Hong Kong Tart. Thank you Ps been beck several times since...still terrific. If you have a special occasion, book the private dining suite

Second time I’ve been here and the whole experience was exceptional… fabulously imaginative food, good wine/cocktails and the staff are very friendly.

We are touring England and this has been our best culinary experience so far. Loved it!

Skosh in York is a remarkable dining experience that truly deserves a Michelin star. The restaurant offers an innovative Pan Asian menu, with standout dishes like the pork belly with prawn paste—a must-try for Singaporeans who love Ha Cheong Gai. This dish combines rich flavors with a unique twist, showcasing the chef’s creativity. Each dish is beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, highlighting the skill and imagination of the culinary team. The ambiance is chic and contemporary, though I did wish it was a bit less bright—slightly dimmer lighting would have enhanced the overall atmosphere. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, further elevating the dining experience with thoughtful recommendations and seamless service. I have a feeling that prices might increase the next time I visit, so I’m grateful to have experienced it today. Overall, Skosh offers an exceptional Pan Asian dining experience with its inventive menu, elegant setting, and outstanding service. Michelin should definitely consider awarding them a star. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a top-notch culinary experience in York.

Every time we visit Neil and his team we are blown away by the level of flavours and outstanding cooking skills. Thank you for offering a consistent and brilliant offering of beautifully cooked food. We will always come back at any given chance! GO SKOSH! X Matthew and poppy x

Great Food! Fantastic for Gluten Free

Food was amazing, small plates to share, perfect place for an informal date. The staff were all very friendly and knowledgeable.

Amazing food and lovely staff, highly recommend 👌

Brilliant restaurant. Well appointed and very clean. Stunning food. Efficient staff, unobtrusive, with lots of humility and courteousness. Great atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Outstanding food flavours and creativity with excellent service in a relaxed open kitchen atmosphere. More than lived up to their well deserved reputation of being the best food experience in York!

Unbelievable food and lovely people

I came to skosh after work as a walk in meal. This is literally the best food i’ve ever tasted, everything works so well. the staff are so lovely and the atmosphere is very relaxing!

What an amazing place. I had heard so many good things online but never thought I'd get to visit. We went for a work team meal and had the set menu and the food was amazing. The dishes weren't over the top in any way but were presented beautifully and tasted so good. The flavours were really well balanced and each dish seemed to bring out the best of the ingredients. The staff knew their stuff and were very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend visiting if you can get a reservation.

Skosh is hands down the best dining experience in York, likely Yorkshire as well. I’ve dined here multiple times and everything has been uniformly fantastic. This experience continues the unbroken streak of superlative, imaginative dishes, a thoughtfully curated wine list, as well as sterling service. Skosh has expanded the restaurant space, making it slightly easier to book a spot. I sat in the newer section which still has a view of the open kitchen. I ordered the excellent bread service, and started with the hen’s egg - not an actual egg, but a taste of savory heaven served in an egg cup. Ethereal summer field cheese concoction on top of a crunchy bit of riced cauliflower with apple dashi vinegar - seriously lush! I had another dish classed as smaller - Skosh fried chicken with gohchujang - spicy, sweet, and crunchy - what’s not to adore? The final savory bit - a larger dish Amy (the server) recommended: miso roasted aubergine with yuzu, rosemary, fine beans, and furikake. I’m running out of superlatives - suffice it to say it was a mouthgasm of bursts of flavor with an intriguing mix of textures. Divine. Though I was quite full, I couldn’t resist pudding: hong kong tart with apricot, coconut, and tonka bean. Perfectly sized for a sweet exclamation point to end dinner. I’m already trying to plan my next York excursion - in part due to Skosh. Get yourself there - your body and mind will thank you!!!

The food was lovely and the service was great. The staff were very friendly, especially Amy who was very helpful. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Brought my fiancée here for a birthday treat and what a treat it was! From start to finish, the service was excellent. Waited at the bar whilst our table was getting ready and the bar staff were excellent. Particularly impressive was the fact they were prepared to go 'off piste' and the chap made one of the best vieux carré's I've had the pleasure of drinking! Great menu with a comprehensive Choice of dishes which arrived at proper intervals and tasted delicious! The wine too (Puglia) was served at perfect temperature and complemented the meal perfectly. All was very reasonably priced too for such a classy restaurant. We'll definitely return (as husband and wife!) in the very near future. Can't recommend this place enough! Thank you Skosh! 🙏👏👏👏😋❤️

Great Restaurant. Very beautiful amazing setting as well as Beautifully plated dishes. Just quiet unfortunate one of the waitresses serving us the oyster was racist. It really put us off eating the food after the interaction with her our hunger really went off quiet a shame we couldn't eat any of the 4 starters we order. The rest of the staff were great just a shame the one waitresses had to be like that. Peharps we will pop back when she is not there as we want to try the food. The skosh house beer was top notch. Happy we got to enjoy that at least.

All I can say is FANTASTIC from food to service to atmosphere,well done 👏👏👏

Absolutely splendid. Not usually a small plates fan but this was great. Really enjoyed the trout amuse bouche, lobster dumplings , lamb tartare and miso aubergine. Wine excellent too!!

If we lived closer, I could see this being a regular. Dishes are served tapas style and there is a large variety of creative dishes using quality produce. We particularly liked the egg, fried chicken, heritage tomatoes and the clotted cream soft serve dessert. Corn fritters were very tasty but could have been a bit crunchier. The sashimi of red mullet was more akin to a prawn cocktail in flavour profile, not sure we would pick this one again.

Best sour dough I’ve ever eaten. I’d definitely recommend going.

Thank you to all working in 12th July. What a great foodie experience we had. Loved the atmosphere and craic. The menu choice is perfect as is the selection of wines available, including by the glass #love. We enjoyed EVERY morsel placed in front of us. The Hen's Egg was WOW as was the Lobster and sashimi. From a sweet aspect the Choc Mojito *chefs kiss... then with our espresso and exquisite plate of Petit Fours. *does a fabulous food dance

Booked last minute. Very impressed with the dishes which were all cooked to a high standard. Very pleasant interior and service was excellent. I enjoyed the premise of having smaller plates. Pork belly and gojuchang chicken were excellent

Excellent menu of small plates. Well thought out dishes plated beautifully plated. We tried some nice wines too

Newly renovated. Modern beautifully done. The food was amazing, as usual. The best!!

Everything was excellent including the cocktails. Highlights were the fried chicken and beef toast starter - overall recommend and would return

I had my Birthday celebration a couple week ago there down. I would say them foods is the best thing I have ever tasted.lovely staffs,polite, helpful and excellent service

What an experience Skosh is! Was really looking forward to trying and booked quite a way in advance for our anniversary. Beautiful small plates, can highly recommend the duck breast, chicken gochujang, tempura brocolli and pork belly. Everything seems so well considered, maybe an obvious thing to say, but not every considered decision results in such a beautiful outcome. Even down to the crockery choices. I wish it were bigger, the small table for two is small. Some of the seating options are more of bar stool arrangement, which isn't for everyone, me included. Skosh is a real pearl of find in York. Definitely go, it's not just dinner: it's an event.

Always amazing and not as expensive as you’d think.

Beautiful restaurant and food, lovely staff, well run kitchen as it's visible from the restaurant. My only criticism are the stools. I'm average height and my legs wouldn't reach the bar for support (only by an inch) I lost feeling in my legs by the end of the evening and was very uncomfortable throughout. If there was a bar under the table a bit higher that would have helped. Style over comfort I'm afraid. Otherwise amazing

A fantastic restaurant in York. It's quite a dent, but the staff still knows how to make everyone feel special. The food is tapas style. Small dishes that you can share. And everything, absolutely everything, is super tasty. If you are in York try to get a table

Our experience at Skosh couldn’t have been better. They accommodated for us and our 12-week old twins without hesitation, they helped us out on email before the booking and there was even a server at the door to help us in with the (double!) buggy when we arrived. Needless to say the food was delicious. I was really touched they made such an effort for us. Much better than other restaurants in the city who are very vocal about their “child-free policy”. Thank you Skosh!

Skosh's new refurb is wonderful! The atmosphere, food & service is still exceptional. Our favourite restaurant in York!!

Fantastic restaurant always consistent!

Exquisite. The service was so good, the bar was so cosy and such a pleasant experience along with the food which was the best I have ever tasted

Skosh is simply an amazing place to eat. Everything is faultless, from the atmosphere, to the staff, and, of course, the food. I couldn't recommend it more!

We have waited a while to go to Skosh and we weren't disappointed. The service was friendly and professional and the food was outstanding. The duck liver mousse on toast was my particular favourite and the birthday cake dessert made me feel like a child again 😊 it was delicious. There was a great selection of drinks and the botanical cocktail was fabulous. We can't wait to return when we can get in again. Thanks Skosh team.

Outstanding food, great service, real value for money.

Wonderful food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Highly recommended 👌

Heaven on plates. So much choice of yummy delights. Blown away by the menu, it is very tempting to over order. Good advice from the waitress was to order 6-7 savoury items. Favourite dishes were the hen's egg, trout, broccoli, and especially the scallop (ordered twice!). Wine list is incredibly reasonable, and plenty of half bottles. Managed to squeeze in a desert of 🍦 Recommend reserving in advance, very busy on Weds lunchtime. We had seats in the new area on rhs of kitchen and had great views of the chefs. Highly recommend 👌

This place is fully booked constantly with good reason…. It’s remarkable. Amazing food and a fantastic experience.

Lovely food & service. Will definitely be back..

Amazing food. Must have hen's egg and everything else. Great service and atmosphere.

Best restaurant in York. Easily.

Went for lunch for my wife’s birthday on 13/4 .Excellent food as usual. The hen’s egg is to die for. The tempura broccoli was also very special. Served by Lewis - very patient and friendly. We liked the new layout and hope it is very successful.

Excellent food and excellent waiter who made sure we were well served. Well with the journey!!

Food was dedicated and absolutely delicious. My favourite is fried chicken. Service was good as well.

Interesting and varied menu. Very unusual and enjoyable. Wonderful staff who are able to anticipate diners needs and display a sense of humour. Always go for the hens egg it's wonderful. Everything is beautifully presented but unpretentious. Went today and it has just reopened after extending into premises next door. Tastefully furnished and decorated but still intimate with beautiful unusual food. Friendly staff well worth a visit.

Exceptional food and great service

10/10 for Skosh, amazing food, great wine and a lovely chilled atmosphere. Repeat customers, our go to meal in York if we can get in.

We had the most beautiful lunch at Skosh to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We’ve been wanting to go for ages and it was well worth the wait. We had a table at the kitchen bar which was a real treat. The food was exceptional, (especially the brill sashimi and the glorious mango lassi and saffron custard donuts). The service was friendly and attentive without being over bearing….what a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

The most remarkable meal we have had in a long time. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left the experience was magnificent. The wait staff were world class, totally knew their product and extremely attentive. Sitting at the open kitchen (which is a must btw) was pure theatre. The chefs were so well organised, calm and so very knowledgeable. A brilliant experience and would DEFINITELY recommend!

10th visit exceptional food every time. Wonderful service .Just booking again.

I visited in June 2023 Skosh is a place I had been eager to visit for a long time. We lived out of the country for a while so the opportunity never came. When we moved back it was a high priority, and it exceeded all expectations. Go! The Good -The food. As with all the greatest restaurants, the food does the talking. The menu is mostly made up from small plates. Choose 5 or 6 to share, and allow the chefs to showcase their talents. Incredible. -Location. Set in the heart of York, a short walk from the station -Staff. Friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. This is a relaxed place, suited for soaking up the atmosphere of the open kitchen. -Atmosphere... as I was saying. When it gets busy there's a lovely gentle bustle and buzz to the place. The Bad -Oh please... maybe waitlists? But thy enhances the anticipation. Better get booking Greg's Tip Book for lunch, midweek if you can

I'm going to be brief ! All the five star reviews are accurate, this is one of our favourite restaurants anywhere!

Amazing place and the food is next level

I have been there many times now and it has never disappointed me, the care and passion with which the dishes are designed is absolutely exceptional. Attentive and precise staff. One of the best in York

Had the most amazing time here. The service (including communication via email) was superb. The restaurant is cosy and intimate. The head chef is visible.. as are his staff... so amazing to see everything being created. The food is top-notch. 1 Mich 🌟... should be more. The menu is fresh... creative.. inventive and exciting. Fresh food... provenance clear to see. The best food I have ever eaten/experienced. The smile/contentment on my face was captured on my wife's phone! This is the number one place to eat at in York. An experience.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We drove from Leicestershire to try this restaurant, excellent, well done guys

Fantastic! Recommend sitting at the high tables next to the kitchen so you get dinner and a show 😀

Very nice place. Excellent food, drinks and service. Great price and value. Highly recommended.

Food is on another level. Good selection of drinks. Always come away amazed. Friendly staff, casual atmosphere. It's not cheap but I consider it excellent value given the quality, especially when compared to what's on offer from other fine dining restaurants. Book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Highly recommended.

A brilliant restaurant, with beautiful food. Can't say a bad word about it other than it's too posh to get some bread to mop up every last bit.

Extremely enjoyable dining experience. Although very busy, we never once felt rushed, each and every flavour could be enjoyed and didn’t get overwhelmed with others. We have visited quite a few Michelin starred restaurants over the years up and down the country; we would certainly put Skosh in front of most of them. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable. The attention to detail with both the food and drink is incredible. Highly recommend

Amazing place. Beautifully presented food with chefs who genuinely care about what they're preparing.

A fantastic first class restaurant, fantastic food. Nice atmosphere. Only downside is the aucustic,hard to keep a conversation going

Very good food and great selection of wines at this friendly Michelin bib gourmand restaurant. Excellent value for money. Highlights were the hens eggs, lamb dumplings, and calamari. Potato tower is a must.

I wish I could give 6 stars - this place is SO good. Best meal out I've had in quite a while

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Highlights Brussels sprout manchurian , chalk stream trout and pork belly. Would make this a definite revisit when next in York.

Absolutely fantastic!! The staff are extremely welcoming, professional and courteous. The food was delicious and I love the concept. One of the best eating experiences I've had and I highly recommend it to anyone. We sat next to the kitchen area and it was wonderful to watch the chefs at work.

That was the BEST meal I have EVER had and the staff were just amazing . You HAVE to experience this restaurant . SIMPLY THE BEST

Me and hubby have been wanting to visit Skosh since we read Jay Raynor's review some years ago and it didn't disappoint. When it says 'small plates' there is more than enough to share between 2 people and unlike some other 'small plate' establishments, you do not leave hungry. Even so, it isn't 'style over substance' either, every plate exploded with taste and was beautifully presented with little surprises hidden here and there (I won't spoil the fun). And it's not only the food that delivers, a welcome change is that the majority of the wines can be bought by the glass so you can either stick with what you like or change it up with what you are eating (can recommend the 'Amstramgram Pomone' which went with all the savoury dishes we had and the Gruner Veltliner, which paired beautifully with the Baron Begod cheese and truffled toast!) We sampled around half of the menu so we have the joy of looking forward to a return visit to taste the other half (or maybe even a completely new menu?). Book your table now:)

We have been twice now and been so happy both times. It is like going on a culinaty adventure with delicious little surprises lurking all over the menu. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and their service is top notch. You will not regret! Updated review: returned for the first time post pandemic and delighted to find nothing has changed, at least in terms of atmosphere, quality and imagination. The menu has of course moved along, but my goodness it is all still so good. Food that delights and intrigues and surprises. Book a table, you will not regret!

We were looking forward to going to Skosh for its interesting approach to food. What they have is essentially tapas-style - small plates. The food was presented well. It all looked great. But we felt that it was lacking in... "flavour" (for want of a better description). It was all nice - but not a single dish had that "wow" factor. It's a pity. We were really excited to come here but left a little disappointed. Skosh has a lot of good reviews on here. Did we just come on a bad night?

10 stars!!! It was an amazing dinner in all aspects, the food was spectacular, the waiters so welcoming and the atmosphere fun and relaxed. I would repeat the plates 100 times, HIGHLY recomend it!!

Beautiful food. Gorgeous wine. The attention to detail was just fantastic. We absolutely loved it at Skosh. I recommend for everyone to try the hen’s egg. It was a delightful surprise and not what I expected. If you find yourself in York, please please please get booked in here. You won’t regret it!
