The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Guildhall York Yorkshire and The Humber

You know what kind of place Valhalla is (if the name itself isn't enough) when you enter the hallowed walls. Across the threshold you step over the bones and weapons of a fallen Viking, now dining in the great hall with his fellow warriors. Seriously though, Valhalla bar is all about the ambience. It's dark, it's cozy, it's heavy metal. This place is beyond cool, and it would easily be my local if lived in York. My wife and I had dinner here in September 2024. We dined upstairs in the great hall, but there were a few little side areas that looked cool as well. We shared one of the larger charcuterie boards and several glasses of mead. The food was exquisite. There was a boutique Sheffield cheddar that was 'oh my god' good. The mead was delicious; spicy, sweet, fruity. The bar is small, but with lots of choice. Service was quick and friendly on a lightly busy weekday night. I loved York, it's a fantastic city. Can't wait to return, and to drink mead in Valhalla again.

Hicimos cola por alrededor de 15 minutos y valió la pena! El personal era tan acogedor y encantador y nos mantuvo actualizado sobre cuánto tiempo van a contar que la espera será. fuimos para un desayuno de gran preparación y una bebida caliente de niebla de Londres, ambos artículos eran frescos y tan delicioso!

Really happy as a vegan to see such a great option in York. Honestly so good. Had the cashew cream quiche (comes with with two salads) and a side of sweet potato wedges which in honesty was probably unnecessary because it was only a lunch. The quiche and salad were both filling and unspeakably delicious. The pastry was great but the quiche filling itself was like... melt in the mouth but so well flavoured and hearty. I would have ordered and eaten it again immediately. The salad is also really well flavoured, seems like basically any vegetable they touch turns to gold. Good sharp fresh flavours. Honestly I could not recommend this more highly, will definitely be coming back. Didn't take photos because I wolfed it, unfortunately. But it was also nicely presented. They also gave a lot of dessert options but I only came for lunch. Will report back...

Cool quirky setting for a coffee house, let down by the service. The three American staff working there when I visited...were nice friendly people, but unfortunately incredibly slow and incompetent...I was convinced they were stoned. It was fairly busy, but the staff moved at a snails pace, forgetting many orders, the lady didn't know how to make a tea and had to ask her coworker. After around 25 minutes of waiting for my order (2 coffees and one slice of cake), I asked if they definitely had it in their queue...they didn't, and had forgotten to print off the receipt for their queue. Coffee was okay, biscoff brownie was extremely dry, price was standard for what you'd expect in a café in that setting. If you want a touristy gimmicky café, in an admittedly really cool location and quirky setting, then it's worth a visit. If you want good service and good coffee/cake, I highly recommend going elsewhere.

what an EPIC experience !!! delicious sandwiches and lovely staff :)) scoffed my sandwich so quickly i hardly had time to take a photo 😿😻

Good drinks. Surprising lack of cats and cat decor. Great live music on a Wednesday night. Relaxed vibes and well priced drinks. But again, no cats.

Perfect little spot for a breakfast. Really trendy cafe that is attached to A1 Moto services. Whether you're into your motorbikes or not, you don't want to miss this place for breakfast if you're nearby. Service was attentive but not intrusive which was welcomed. The wait for food wasn't particularly long either considering the cafe was packed. When it came, it was a high quality breakfast packed with flavour. All the usual suspects with the addition of spam and black pudding which you usually have to pay extra for. They also use a nice bloomer bread which is a perfect accompaniment to the breakfast, much better than your box standard sandwich loaf. Dont miss their home baked treats either, all baked beautifully. Good value for money, nice coffee, quality food, what more could you ask for? Give it a go, you won't be disappointed!

I only leave a review if something is excellent or really bad. This coffee was fantastic, smooth and to the temperature I asked for! Don't go to the awful mainstreams , come here. The ginger cake was also exceptional 👌

Had a fantastic sandwich from here today while visiting york, had seen amazing reviews online and they were 100% right ✅️ 😀. Had the rueben sandwich, pastrami based , fabulous taste and presentation, made to order ( they give you a buzzer to signify it's ready ) , worth the price as ingredients top notch , amazing 👏

Perfect in every way. Spinach smoothie was amazing, great med salad and pizza. Great service, great food - and very relaxed!

Excellent pub, we unwittingly ordered 2 steaks meals and a bottle of white wine without realising it was on a promotion deal...nice surprise when we received the final bill. We loved the cheese board and I loved the Leeds Leodis beer. Staff were excellent and a great friendly atmosphere. Revisited in November 2024 on a Sunday evening and still excellent, friendly pub with amazing food. Just love this pub, wish I had it near my home. Love the Leodis pilsner....just wish I could get it in bottles😥

The Breakfast at the Blue Barbakan is excellent. My wife had the American Pancakes and absolutely enjoyed it. I had the Buckwheat Pancakes with the Polish Sausage which was unique and the mustard based sauce was mild and flavourful. We first went here a couple of years ago and can confirm the quality has never dropped and the staff are extremely friendly and attentive.

Source saved an almost ruined birthday. We visited York for my birthday and the hotel we were staying at really messed up and there was nowhere local to eat! We had to make last minute plans on a Saturday night so we were so worried. We rang up Source and asked if we could squeeze in and they were so attentive and got us booked in. On arrival they made sure the seating was ok for us and it was such a lovely atmopshere, and the food was amazing. It was so good that we returned in the morning for breakfast!

Another pub in York charging over £8.00 for a pint and a half of lager. Dick Turpin was here.

I your a Vegan. Try the curried cauliflower and onion bhaji pasty they’re amazing!
