The best restaurants in York Yorkshire and The Humber

We felt very welcome from the minute we stepped inside and asked if my allergies and vegan dietary restrictions could be catered for. The restaurant felt inviting and our table was cosy near the window perfect for our date night. My partner and I both selected 3 dishes and shared sticky rice and vermicelli noodles. As I am allergic to nuts, sesame, coconut and poppy seeds I was offered an up to date allergen menu checker which helped me to make safe choices. I was impressed that even the wine list was clearly labelled with vegan wines. I always trust a restaurant when I see this attention to detail. So often I have to ask and staff can often be uninformed about vegan wines. The food was amazing! I savoured every dish and couldn't pick favourite. I chose the Makua Pad Prik (fried aubergine with sweet chilli to dip), Tod Mun Kow Pode (sweetcorn fritters) and Laab Tao Hoo (crispy tofu with thai herbs and lime). We ordered more wine and beers as we thoroughly enjoyed those too! Staff were attentative, friendly and approachable and our evening was lovely. The decor was pretty, menu's and plates were too. We will definitely recommend and would like to return again with friends and family or another date night! We saw plenty of families, work parties and couples. It is very popular but e didn't feel rushed or forgotten about. My partner chose ribs, beef floss and prawn with glass noodles. Great place!

We arrived at 5:30pm and they let us order without informing us that they're about to close. 20 minutes later they asked us to leave 🤷‍♀️ what a waste of money!

Fabulous Italian restaurant. Friendly service, gorgeous food. Lobster ravioli, lamb ravioli, the special duck in orange sauce, all amazing, we'll be back

We stayed three nights in room eight, which is in need of refurbishment. The bed frame was covered in a leatherette fabric, which was worn away along the sides of the bed, and scraped on the headboard. The top of the headboard was dusty and only clean where pillows had been placed against it. I found a long dark hair on a pillow. The net curtains hung around 20cm longer than the curtains. When pulled aside, they exposed distemper on the wall. The extractor fan in the bathroom did not work, and there were signs of treated black mould around the small bathroom window. The grouting in the floor tiles varied in colour between black, white, orange, and grey. There were a couple of cracked floor tiles. Walking down the stairs to the reception & dining room there is an area with boxes displayed on it. This was very dusty. Breakfast was okay except for when I ordered scrambled eggs on toast as the bread was burnt on the bottom. However, the staff that we met were friendly.

A very welcoming fish and chips shop with an excellent range. Fish and chips were cooked fresh and were excellent. Fish and chips were great with excellent customer interaction.

Been quite alot to The Gait, we went for evening meal and wasn't disappointed. Sat in front area, lovely fire going. Nice atmosphere in pub. Good choice of real ales. Good menu and special board available. Had the partridge starter ,it was delicious. Main I choose the lamb rump and the rosemary and garlic gravy was so tasty. All your meals did not disappoint. Staff very friendly. Well worth a visit.

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing service. The meat was cooked to perfection every single time and the salad bar was well stocked. Our server KJ never let our plates be empty and we left with very very full bellies! 12/10!!

Stumbled across this little gem on a walk with a mate the other day, and what a find it was! It has everything a cafe could offer: delicious food, friendly and prompt service - although not sure how they manage it with those stairs, they deserve a medal for been able to walk up and down them, without spilling or dropping food! Cafe also has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a cheeky view of a part of the Minster. Can't recommend this place enough.

Great b&b 10 minute walk from the city walls in a quiet road. Service is very friendly and there is a car park with a £10 charge. The breakfast is very nice. The room we had was very large with separate bath and shower. Onsite bar if required.

Had 2 great nights stay at the Waggon and Horses in York had stayed here on last visit 4yrs ago and it didn’t disappoint, the Rooms are cosy and warm and everything you need for a few days break, Breakfast is top notch with plenty of choice and everything fresh and hot, Tom and the staff are really nice and little Bar is great to have a chilled out drink or even the garden space which is set up for outside drinks 👍 free parking is an absolute bonus and so easy to get around on foot once you’ve parked up, no complaints at all and will be our go to place again on our next visit.

Always a good meal. Good food regardless of take out or eat in!

Came in super late as we both got stuck at work, Cait was super welcoming and we ordered promptly. Half way through our food we got a decent check back that meant we had time to ask for our bill as we didn’t want to prolong their close by coming in so late. Incredibly welcoming, we didn’t feel rushed even though we came in so late and even still we had the same service you’d expect from a restaurant at their peak opening times. If you haven’t been to this Phō then you’re missing out. Solid set of staff.

It's an amazing hotel with superb food and very attentive service. Brilliant for a special occasion.

Great way to spend a Tuesday afternoon having an amazing Afternoon Tea with friends😁👍

I just wanted somewhere to sit, have a cup of tea and read my book while my husband ran the York marathon on a Sunday morning and I'm so glad I found Victor Js what a treasure! Friendly welcoming staff, cosy place and I ended up having an early lunch jacket potato - delicious. Thank you and the cocktail menu looked fab so I hope to be back one evening!
