Best Dinner Places to Eat in Gate Helmsley

"Yet another establishment found within Micklegate, Partisan is a trendy and independent coffee shop, which transforms into a restaurant in the evening. The menu’s diverse, and changes every week – as a result, it’s difficult to make a solid recommendation on which dish to choose, however, the principles at Partisan are clear – they value seasonality, allow the ingredients to do the talking and provide a relaxed, indulgent experience for diners. They were this year highlighted as one of the best restaurants in York by the Good Food Guide, which described “This distinctive arrival on blossoming Micklegate is principally a daytime café with a rustic ambience."

"Partisan is a vibrant, independent coffee shop located on Micklegate in York and the cafe has been a long term dream for owner, Florencia. They serve a modern menu for breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea every day of the week. And they also open on evenings later in the week for casual dining."

"They say location is everything, and whether you’re in York for a romantic weekend break, or to explore the city’s historical past, Greys Court Hotel makes the ideal location from which to base your activities. Steeped in history, and with parts of its architecture dating back to the late 11th century it appears squeezed between the Minster and the Treasurer’s House. However, once through the hotel’s entrance, the connotation with squeezed ends, and you can enjoy the luxurious, historically romantic ambiance that Greys Court Hotel offers, along with all the modern conveniences you would expect from a high-end establishment."

"Found within one of the most intriguing buildings in York, Grays Court, The Bow Room is a relative newcomer to the restaurant scene in York. Despite its youth, it’s quickly developed a stellar reputation for its creative food and winning atmosphere. Among the restaurants’ accolades, The Bow Room boasts two AA Rosettes – earnt under the leadership of innovative Head Chef Joe Clapham – who boasts an impressive resume which includes the formerly Michelin Starred Box Tree in Ilkley."

"What: Small, unassuming, and tucked away down one of the city’s quieter streets, this incredible restaurant is a must for any visiting (or resident) foodie. Aptly named, Le Cochon Aveugle deals solely in ‘blind’ tasting menus (four or six courses with optional wine pairings), which are modestly-priced given the quality, and make for a wonderfully relaxed and indulgent evening. The interiors are nothing special but the skill of the chefs is, meaning dishes as simple as scallops with butter are exceptional."

"Serving a contemporary European menu rooted in classical French techniques. Delivering a 3-course meal for two and a bottle of wine for £40. Check Facebook for their menu."

"One of York’s newest restaurants has been causing quite a stir across the UK. After seriously starry stints at Northcote, Pipe and Glass and The Star Inn at Harome (along with extensive travels in Asia) half-Indian chef Neil Bentinck has returned to his hometown of York to open contemporary small plates restaurant, Skosh (the name is a reference to the Japanese word ‘sukoshi’, meaning ‘a small amount’). The restaurant’s modern interiors combine pine tables with bold yellow and grey paintwork and fabrics."

"Take a seat at the swish stainless steel bar (if there’s space) and watch as the chefs create dishes incorporating influences from all over the world. From the Middle East to Spain, Japan to the US, this place takes global cuisine and runs with it."

"Situated in the heart of one of the UK’s most historic cities, Revolution York is a large, contemporary venue in a stunning waterside location. Downstairs boasts a large main bar with its fantastic dining area and gorgeous views overlooking the river.

"Many York bars have in-house dance space, and a good example is Revolution York housed in a stunning building. Revolution has two private bars and two large upstairs areas with their own restrooms and DJ booth. The lively main bar is downstairs with river views and on warm summer evenings you’ll find quite a crowd on the riverside outdoor garden terrace."

"York Business Park, White Rose Cl, Nether Poppleton, York YO26 6RL.

"One of three York Brewery pubs (the others are the Last Drop at 27 Colliergate and the Yorkshire Terrier at 10 Stonegate), the Mare is particularly handy, as it's almost on York Minster's doorstep. Normally there are four or five guest ales on at a time but, by chance on this visit, eight pumps were occupied by York Brewery beers. Its mainstay Guzzler (fresh as the proverbial daisy, a dry, easy-drinking pale), was joined by the likes of Wonkey Donkey and Black Bess."

"The Wonkey Donkey, as its affectionately known, has the best and most eclectic range of beers of the 3 York Brewery pubs in the city centre. It’s a no nonsense welcoming pub with a modern, light airy feel and is deceptively accommodating with a back conservatory type area and small beer garden. Best-selling York Brewery real ales such as Guzzler and Centurion sit alongside guests from innovative local breweries plus ones as far apart as Manchester and Devon."

"Situated on the riverbank by Millennium Bridge is this “unique and charming floating ice cream van”. Ideal for a sunny afternoon walk by the riverside."
