"What: It may be best known for its fantastically priced evening set menus but Fettle's brunch offering is just as impressive as the rest of its food. Head to this intimate café and restaurant for brunch on both on weekdays and weekends to enjoy the likes of chai spiced red rice porridge, mushrooms on pumpernickel rye toast, and salt beef Benedict.Where:73 Great George Street, LS1 3BR"
"Fine dining from morning until night, Fettle has come a long way since its days as a Scandi cafe. They serve beautifully crafted dishes using handpicked and always sustainable produce. By day, they’ll introduce you to new brunch favourites, like their Bokkeumbap, a delicious mix of pork belly and kimchi fried rice with an oh-so-oozy fried egg."

"Brew and Brownie fans will happily queue to sit in and enjoy the cracking coffee and delicious pancake stacks, but as it’s just across the road from the entrance to York Museum Gardens, why not order something to take away and enjoy in the Yorkshire sunshine?. Their sister cafe, Brew & Brownie Bakeshop, is just as lovely and they do takeaway salads, sandwiches and cakes too. Brew and Brownie, 5 Museum St, York YO1 7DT"
"Relax, eat and drink in the stylish, contemporary interior that is Brew and Brownie. Located opposite the Museum Gardens, this coffee shop in York is a very popular destination for coffee and brunch alike. So popular, in fact, that they have opened a second premises just a few doors down – B&B Bakeshop."
"If it’s vegan Sunday lunch you want, then it’s vegan Sunday lunch that you’ll get. Wapentake serves up a banging Sunday roast that can be vegan or veggie, and at just £7 you’d be a fool not to try it. Their main thing is brunches though, and they have a really decent selection of veggie and vegan options on their brunch menu."
"This dog-friendly cafe and bar in Kirkgate serves a range of hearty breakfast dishes, including a Yorkshire take on beans on toast with Henderson’s relish, a vegan breakfast hash and breakfast butties. But they had us at Breakfast Yorkshire Puddings - with baked eggs, crispy bacon bits and Henderson’s relish."
"Dedicated to the loveliness of Yorkshire, Wapentake is an artisan bakery, café, and bar. While not exclusively vegetarian, Wapentake does try to offer vegetarian versions of every dish that includes meat. Now that’s a commitment."
"Described as the perfect place to relax, The Brunch Cafe boasts a selection of freshly ground Italian coffee and tasty bites. Situated near a number of large shopping outlets, The Brunch Cafe is ideally located. It offers visitors outdoor seating, making it the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the stunning views that York has to offer."
"Nice café for breakfast and lunch with kids toys to keep them occupied. 482 Roundhay Road, Oakwood, LS8 2HU, Tel: 0113 3456319"
"I’ve honestly lost count the amount of times I’ve raved about Cosy Club on my blog and Instagram, but it truly is my favourite place to eat in York!. Cosy Club have such a vast array of choices on their menus; from salads to sandwiches, to tapas and burgers, Cosy Club really have thought of it all when it comes to their extensive menu. Not only that, but it’s also got the most amazing interior and decor and is without a doubt my number 1 recommendation of places to eat and drink in York!"
"Serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as having dedicated kids, vegan and gluten free menus. 19-22 Fossgate, York YO1 9TAT: 01904 395056"
"One of Harrogate’s oldest hotels, the Crown keeps it regal, as its flag-flying entrance suggests. Interiors are elegant, in blue, gold and red, lit by sparkling chandeliers – a fine setting for a traditional Sunday roast of local beef with Yorkshire pudding. Soaring ceilings in bedrooms induce peaceful sleep."
"It is especially convenient to go to the pavilion, walk to Bettys Tea House, and the train station is very close. Except that the room is old but historical. Harohart itself is a traditional English town"

While it’s still a place of worship, Holy Trinity Church is also a lively community space and they put on all manner of events for you to enjoy, including art exhibitions, vintage fairs and live music – the acoustics are fantastic.
