The best restaurants serving British food in York Yorkshire and The Humber

We visited as a group of 12 couples, pre ordered with 2 courses each. It was absolutely perfect! Great service, good timings and food was top quality. I had salmon starter and pumpkin risotto and the portion sizes were perfect and it was all so so tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant for groups, dates or with friends & family as it’s got something for everyone and such a good atmosphere. 10/10. Amazing wine as well. We had The Stump Jump Shiraz :) Thanks for having us!

We have been dining at The Gourmet Bar for so long, we never thought to leave a review before. But we really should, especially after today’s gorgeous christmas treat. Myself, OH and our dog eat here mostly on weekends. For those who have never sampled the delights of the fabulous chef here ( Dal…such a lovely person and his food is out of this world! ) then you are missing a treat. The Sunday lunches are superb. Today, we had a partial Christmas menu of the chicken and mushroom Wellington ( wow!), with the trimmings, plus a dessert of the trio of chocolate and the cheese board. The Wellington was simply delicious! The veg was cooked to perfection, the gravy…well, whatever the secret is, we need to know!…..the potatoes were perfect…but the melt in your mouth chocolate mousse, it was heaven 🤩 People really don’t seem to know how amazing the food is at The Gourmet Bar ( which is in the Novotel, Fishergate York) - I’m not certain people even know of the Sunday lunch menu. But it’s absolutely worth a trip. On normal Sundays, the Yorkshire puddings are better than anywhere else in the area, which is why we, as local residents, come back week on week. But the Christmas menu, which is on throughout December, is also fantastic. There is a huge selection of drinks…it’s dog friendly in the bar area, it’s stylish, clean, very laid back, and if you are lucky enough to have Dal there cooking for you, plus the wonderful waiting staff ( Salvi & Karl are always friendly and welcoming), then you can guarantee a lovely meal and perfect atmosphere. 🙌🏽

Brilliant find. Wonderful service and food was amazing. I was with my daughter who lives nearby and she will be visiting again

Nunca decepcionante, mientras que un menú bastante limitado (con especiales diarios) siempre está recién hecho en el lugar y delicioso. El personal es muy alegre y nada es demasiado problema. Nos encanta volver.

Vinimos a almorzar tarde y compartimos un camembert entre los dos. Absolutamente delicioso, el chutney con el que se sirvió fue genial, y las cebollas crujientes fueron increíblemente bien. Fantástica selección de queso para comprar (algunos que nunca he visto antes) , para las personas que buscan hacer más que tomar un bocado para comer, y nos encantó la decoración - especialmente los giros divertidos de los propietarios en las pinturas tradicionales! El dueño de la tienda era increíblemente amable y acogedor. Sin duda volveremos cuando volvamos a York, y recomendaremos este lugar a cualquiera que conozcamos que se dirija hacia aquí. ¡Gracias!

I found myself having missed lunch with a long time to go till evening meal....and noticed this little gem on the other side of the road. 45 minutes later I was walking out the beneficiary of a superb coronation chicken sandwich (plus salad and coleslaw) and rejuvenating pot of tea. The price was a steal as well. Forget the chains and multiples, one-off businesses like this, passionate about what they do, win every time.

Found this little oasis by accident. Definitely coming back. The staff were very kind and coffee was great too. I enjoyed the gluten free Lichfields salted caramel flapjack.

Go twice weekly and grately missed when theyre not open. Staff are always lovley and welcoming, food is cheap and cheerful. Also they made me a (very yummy) birthday cake. Couldn't ask for a nicer place to eat

Called in here just before Xmas - coffee was perfect! If you like your coffee, this is the place to go. We also sampled the fruit cake - equally delicious. I’ll definitely be visiting again.

Came here for a special birthday which was a good choice! The food was delicious in a chilled out atmosphere! Highly recommend and will be back the next time I’m in York

Oh my goodness! What a place this is…food banging, speed of service amazing and the staff are super attentive and so friendly! Couldn’t be happier!

What a great journey we were served by Sam absolutely outstanding young chap. Friendly warm and a professional. We had the wine pairing and I have never had a wine pairing like it. Derek is like the Shakespeare of wine a master sommelier it’s just worth a million dollars to see him in action. Hannah was also a delight such an enthusiastic lady.

Nice friendly atmosphere. Two big greens available and a bar. Coaching available. Worth a look!

Literally stumbled upon this place. They managed to squeeze us in on a Saturday at 17.30. Would happily book next time.
