The best restaurants in York Yorkshire and The Humber

A Taste of Kerala at Coconut Lagoon - A Perfect Meal! I recently dined at Coconut Lagoon, and I must say it was an unforgettable South Indian culinary experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance made me feel like I was transported straight to Kerala, with cozy and charming decor that set the perfect mood. For the meal, we started with the Lagoon Special Dosa and Paneer Dosa—both were absolutely amazing! The Lagoon Special Dosa was perfectly crispy and filled with a variety of tasty ingredients, while the Paneer Dosa had a wonderful, savory filling that paired beautifully with the accompanying chutneys and sambar. Both dosas were cooked to perfection, with just the right balance of flavor and crunch. We finished off the meal with some Homemade guava & Coffee Ice Cream, which was rich, creamy, and had the perfect coffee flavor that wasn’t too overpowering. A truly satisfying way to end the meal! The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, Coconut Lagoon provided an authentic South Indian dining experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving delicious Kerala-inspired dishes. I’ll definitely be returning to try more!

Beautiful food and lovely service. All staff were very polite, and the food tasted incredible. Would choose this restaurant every time i visit York and have already recommended to many.

I recently dined here with my wife. The steak was excellent; tender and well-cooked. From the street, the restaurant looks small and charming, but we were seated in a large, noisy upstairs room, which was disappointing. Additionally, the wine selection was poor for a French restaurant. The available reds by the glass had low Vivino ratings (3.1, 3.2, and 3.6), well below average. A better wine selection would have improved the experience.

One of the greats. Had the best time here! Highly recommend as a top choice.

Was really looking forward to eating here but we came up on a Monday for a day trip and it was shut. So hopefully next time.

Food was delicious, and the service was really good. We just felt like the atmosphere of the place let it down a bit and could do with being made a bit more trendy/fresh

Delicious and piping hot freshly made food. Went for a second time when I was up visiting my son at York uni. Great varied menu of authentic Japanese cuisine all at very reasonable prices. Will 100% go again.

Best vegetarian salads I have ever had!! Broccoli zucchini peas, lentil carrot, potato salad! Too good! Their latte with oak milk was delicious!

Arrived without a booking and luckily a place was available for us. What a gem of a place. Looks a tiny venue internally from the outside but there's more space upstairs. Food was superb complimented by the front of house staff. Very good food and drinks selection, reasonable prices too for the quality of the plates. The ratings are well deserved. Highly recommended.

I regularly enjoy coffees in the cafe here on the afternoon school-run, and join other parents in bringing the young ones for hot-chocolates after-school. Its a cosy venue, and there is always a friendly, warm reception. :) Many thanks to the team at Everyman York! (I really must come to watch a film sometime)

Ace traditional pub in York.Very friendly atmosphere good service at the bar.

Fantastic roast lamb Sunday lunch!

Perfect bacon sandwich in Perfect venue! Thank you so much

Amazing food and excellent recommendations by the manager. Thank you!

Such a cute rustic cafe (fits perfectly with York’s aesthetic). So much choice on the menu, I went for a build your own. Service was lovely and so quick! Came here before over a year ago and everything was just as good as I remembered!
