The best restaurants in York Yorkshire and The Humber

Unfortunately did not have a great experience here due to mistakes that could have been avoided, we booked a table for a work celebration there was about 20 of us, we preordered based off the menu online. I had preordered penne marinara from their online menu, as I am from England I understood that this was just a tomato pasta sauce, and there is nothing on their online menu to suggest marinara is seafood, however I received a penne pasta with tomato sauce and seafood. My sister is allergic to seafood and I don’t eat it to keep her safe. I told them I didn’t order seafood penne, he became angry and shouted at me that I did, I asked to see the menu when he showed me, that’s when we all realised their online menu is different to the one in the restaurant, he brought me a menu to say marinara is seafood, but this is not mentioned on the online menu we used when we preordered, and unfortunately being English and not being Italian, marinara in England is just tomato garlic sauce not seafood like it is in Italy, my fault for not knowing marinara means seafood in Italian but the manager or owner who was serving us just began shouting at me. A female waitress apologised and moved him away from me and brought me just a tomato penne pasta said sorry again and understood what had happened and fixed the issue without an issue, clearly a mistake on both parts. After I’d eaten it the angry manager came over and asked me how my seafood pasta was sarcastically. 3 or 4 of us preordered the online menu tomato garlic bread to start, and one of us ordered a tomato garlic bread for their main. But when it arrived in the restaurant it was a plain garlic pizza bread, as their menu in their restaurant is different to the one online and doesn’t include tomato. Also despite pre ordering two of the starters were missing and had to be chased up 10 mins or so after we had all eaten our starters and the same happened again for our mains, two were missing and a side of chips which we had to chase up. We spent about £582 and just didn’t feel we had a good experience despite pre ordering and we even brought our pre order on a document with us to make sure we were organised when we got there. Food was excellent however and we had a good time. Just a shame to be shouted at in a restaurant by the manager at what clearly was a genuine mistake, as I don’t speak Italian.

Lovely calm and friendly atmosphere, incredible food at a very reasonable price

A hidden gem! Osbourne at 68 is a wonderful place to eat, with delicious food that is both lovely and reasonably priced. The staff are so warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. And the cakes—absolutely amazing! Fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. Whether you're stopping by for a coffee and a treat or a full meal, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend!

What a fantastic independent venue. The Reuben was good, the coffee great quality and the staff super friendly. Exactly what British business should be.

We went to Molly's Tearooms for lunch one Saturday. York was packed and it was a bit hard to find because of all the people milling about, but we were glad we made the effort. We decided on jacket potatoes with creamed mushrooms and the lady apologised and said they only had one potato left, but offered us the mushrooms with toast instead. She said the mushrooms came in a separate dish so the toast wouldn’t get soggy. Our meal arrived very quickly and we shared the toast and potato. The mushrooms were absolutely delicious and plenty of them. Very pleasant staff and a lovely little tearoom. We recommended the place to our next-door neighbours who went two days ago and they also thought it was great. We’ll be back!

Yo y un amigo visitamos un viernes a la hora del almuerzo, había un menú de dos platos por £ 9. 90 con un montón de opciones. El servicio era muy bueno y rápido, pedimos bebidas y nuestra comida. Ambos optamos por las costillas de repuesto para empezar que pronto llegaron y estaban sabrosas y calientes. Para la alimentación mi amigo tenía carne de res en frijol negro con arroz frito con huevo y pedí el curry de res con arroz frito con huevo. La comida vino caliente y el camarero trajo un gran recipiente de arroz, todo estaba caliente y sabroso y una porción generosa. Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestro almuerzo y recomendaríamos una visita, realmente no había ningún ambiente con que fuera una hora de almuerzo, pero disfrutamos de poder charlar.

¡Cómo una simple sonrisa cálida y un delicioso cupcake pueden hacer su día más brillante! Y un café increíble para completarlo. Muy buenas judías allí. Totalmente recomendable.

Nos topamos con este lugar mientras tratábamos de evitar las cafeterías de cadena. Mi marido tenía un pan corto de chocolate y un blanco plano. Solo tomé un café con leche descafeinado pero fue el mejor que probé y se lo hice saber. El servicio era brillante y el personal era amable. Los precios eran razonables. Pensé que la decoración era encantadora y peculiar. Planeamos visitar de nuevo antes del final de nuestro breve descanso.

Lovely little bar in the centre of York! Very close to other bars / restaurants! Staff are very friendly and cocktails were lovely at a nice reasonable price 🍹

Visitamos este restaurante para el almuerzo y las bebidas y disfrutamos tanto que regresamos el último día de nuestra visita a York. Hermoso entorno junto al río y un servicio amable. La ensalada de mozarella con pesto fue un verdadero punto culminante.

Lovely afternoon tea. Great value for money! The fillings in the sandwiches were flavourful, chicken mayo had garlic and fresh herbs, Smoked salmon was very plentiful. The scones looked a little over done but had a lovely home made, fresh flavour. Beautiful creamy Cheesecake. Decor is slightly plain / functional

Reservamos esto para el regalo de Navidad de mi madre y a pesar de reservar hace un tiempo nos dieron probablemente la peor mesa para una ocasión especial. Una mesa oblonga muy grande con capacidad para 6 personas para nosotros tres al lado de la caja a pesar de que hay muchas mesas redondas vacías más pequeñas. La comida era muy decepcionante, a pesar de su aspecto esquisito y demasiado ambicioso para todos los gustos. ¡Mi madre de 85 años solo podía comerse los bollos! Todo fue bastante extraño y el pan empezó a envejecer.

El restaurante es una delicia. Paredes paneladas y lino blanco. El servicio es formal sin congestionamiento. Si usted no está acostumbrado a "buena comida" se le hará bienvenido aquí, pero vestir inteligente. Imprescindible reservar si las carreras tienen lugar en York, y probablemente también los fines de semana. La comida se prepara muy cuidadosamente. Esto es en la forma moderna, ligeramente precioso, con algunas pinzas y uno o dos puntos en el plato. Los mejores ingredientes. Es comida para ocasiones especiales y se ve divina. Es inteligente, imaginativo y seguramente requiere habilidad y trabajo duro para llevar el plato a la mesa. Nuestros postres eran impresionantes. Es más 'Masterchef' que Michelin. No hay nada malo en eso, pero una porción más grande del elemento principal en la placa de un plato principal podría ser mejor. Para mí condimentado, pero eso es personal, ¿pero los chefs se quedan ciegos a la sal? Creo que podrían. Nosotros los viejos estamos tratando de reducir la sal - y tal vez también deberíamos todos. Ayuda! La carta de vinos es muy buena. Es grande, expansivo, y probablemente tres veces más alto que en comparación con los precios de Londres es un gran alivio. Pero donde la lista realmente puntúa es en la sección 'por el vidrio'. Creo que ocho blancos y ocho rojos, con rosas y pegajosos para arrancar. Estos son realmente bien elegidos para dar valor y buena calidad por alguien que sabe lo que están haciendo. Puede elegir cualquier tamaño de vertido, y media botella de garrafas también. Creo que esta es la mejor opción de vinos "por copas" que me han ofrecido durante años. De veras.

Unfortunately the Luxury Ice Cream Company online menu is wrong. I was there on Sunday afternoon intending to have a banana split and buy my grand-daughter a Biscoff sundae but neither of these was on offer. The LICC did not respond to my email the day before our visit and their telephone number was not recognised. Having said that, the ice cream we did have was delicious.

I would 100% recommend. I usually get the filled pitta which is a good place to start if you're not sure what to order. The staff are lovely, very energetic, and happy to accommodate to your preferences if you do not like specific items.
