I had a lovely meal here last night and I would like to thank the wonderful staff for being able to…read moreseat all 7 of our party. We tried to go to the Byron down the street but we were told that they couldn't seat 7, even though their Newcastle branch could. So we walked down the street, and had the choice of Zizzi and Gourmet Burger, so we picked Gourmet Burger. After a while, we were seated and we ordered. I had a cheeseburger with skin-on fries and they were both great and freshly cooked too! We did have to wait a while to get our food but it was well worth the wait. I was almost defeated by my gigantic burger! I wanted a salted caramel milkshake but I forgot that they had milkshakes. Silly me. The toilets were very clean but had one of those hand dryers that keeps turning on and off randomly, so that was annoying and I ended up having to use the toilet roll to dry my hands. Apart from this, everything was perfect!

Two for Two when vegetarian dining in York, Goji was outstanding, and Source, although not strictly…read morevegetarian, had a separate section for vegetarian options. 4 for 4 on agreement the food is outstanding. I had the Ratatouille, well seasoned with hearty bread on the side. The mushroom burger, Risotto, and Shakshuka were all good choices. For appetizers we had the Cauliflower Florets (very much enjoyed) and the Lime Grilled Avocados (probably would not order again...not that they were bad).

They were quite soft, not as chewy like I had thought they would be for ribs. They also only had a little bit of barbecue sauce on them, instead of smothered like ribs would be. The cornbread and slaw were delicious. The chicken poppers were really delicious! If you're in the area, it's a great place for vegan food!

I ordered the fish and chips (since we were in the UK), and it was just average at best. My wife had the Sunday roast and the tempura prawns, both of which were unimpressive -- the prawns especially, with a heavy batter. Every once in a while, you get steered wrong, and sadly, this was that one time during our 25-day adventure. Even more disappointing, it ended up being our highest bill of the trip.

Located right in the city centre, Bill's York restaurant was recommended to us by a few people in…read moreYork. It's pretty inside and not a typical pub. Was able to get a table at 6:30 but as we were leaving it was reservation only. Food was decent. Greek Salad was good. Seafood pasta was made with a pink sauce. Dessert was the winner.

It's great because you can go any time of day and have breakfast/lunch/dinner/drinks/coffee and also there's free wi-fi. This branch is clean and the staff are polite and friendly. Good pub.

Probably my new favorite place to eat when I'm in York. The Cheateaubriand dairy cow steak here may…read morebe the most tender steak I've ever had, and I've had a lot of steaks in a lot of countries. I am rarely this impressed by steak quality outside of the US. And the wine list! Orin Swift (the famous maker of Papillon), Stag's Leap, and lots of lesser known but still excellent brands from around the world. This is going to be my first stop next time I'm in York. My only comment -- but maybe this is just from an American used to farm-to-table food -- is that just like everywhere else in England, I wish there were fewer fried things and more vegetables on the menu (although the tomato side salad was amazing). Still the freshest, most farm-to-table type of meal I've had in York.

After two different people recommended this restaurant, we thought we would definitely try it. We…read morearrived at 5:30, the first customers of the evening. Waitstaff were very attentive and friendly. Hubby ordered onion rings which were hand battered and delicious. I ordered cod and vegetable risotto which were fine but not remarkable. Broccolini with blue cheese sauce barely had any blue cheese or sauce and was hard, not cooked really much at all. I left half of the serving. We had bread pudding for dessert which was also okay. I didn't find the seasoning of the food to be adequate and maybe salt and pepper on the table would have helped this. By the time our food came out, the waitstaff was busy so I didn't have a ready opportunity to ask for salt. And should I have to ask? This place has a charming interior but i'd suggest drinks here, not dinner.

I ordered the fish and chips and they were some of the best fish and chips I'd had over our 13-day journey. The service was remarkable and the restaurant itself was very classy, clean, and elegant. We were extremely happy. We also ordered the brownie with vanilla ice cream a la mode, and it was one of the best brownies I think I've ever had! Melt in your mouth goodness. They also have a great selection of drinks. Now I miss York....

I ordered a bowl of chili with cheesy garlic bread and chips on the side. I also asked for a water. My dining companion ordered an ale and the Mexican burger. The burger is topped with chili, jalapenos, and normally cheese. He ordered it without. The burger also comes with not only chips but onion rings as well. The drinks came out first and I was happy to see that the ice cubes were crystal clear. He was quite happy with the Black Sheep Ale. The English are notorious for their warm ales and we were curious to check them out. The food arrived promptly. By this time, it was 3 pm and I was starving. The chili was sadly one note. There were no hints of cumin or spice to it at all but it was beanless so that was nice. The chips were the perfect consistency. I didn't even mind putting malt vinegar with my chips at this point. For a ketchup only girl, this is huge. The cheesy garlic bread was made with ciabatta and it was quite tasty. It was also a little greasy too but it was cold out and I wasn't about to complain too much. My dining companion seemed to enjoy his meal as he cleared his plate. Food for me was 3 stars. But they get bumped up an extra star mostly because it seemed like a place that genuine locals liked to visit and that they were kind enough to keep my friend's gloves in a lost & found closet. We realized pretty quickly that he had left them behind so when we came back, they had them for us. I'm sure it happens a lot but it is nice to know that they do keep it in case you come back for it.
