Best French Bakery in Escrick

"Just down the street from The Lawrance on Micklegate, you’ll find Partisan, an independent family run café and restaurant. Supporting local suppliers and independent producers, Partisan cooks everything to order using fresh ingredients for their rustic, modern British menu. They serve a variety of dishes and work hard to cater to vegans and vegetarians with inventive dishes."

"Sample a variety of global cuisine at this popular Argentinian owned cafe. Inside you will find a totally relaxed atmosphere with wooden decor and a range of rustic and antique furniture that are always up for sale. This independent coffee shop come homeware store come restaurant is a true local gem, particularly popular with those who value a real community vibe."

"What’s on the menu – York’s best brownies delivered to your doorstep – what’s not to love?. Millionaire’s shortbread and rocky road are on the menu too."

"What: A favourite of our Editor, this quintessential Yorkshire tea room is a must-visit for visitors to York. Most associate Bettys with afternoon tea – and it does do a mean one – but there’s a whole menu of savouries for lunch and dinner, from Yorkshire rarebits to omelettes and salads, in addition to its sweet offering. Queues are inevitable, but anyone who wants to sample an English tradition that has all but vanished ought to persevere."

"Nothing will top your day off in any old English city better than a classic afternoon tea. Let yourself have a huge feast and eat all those beautiful sandwiches and cakes. You can walk off the cream buns in the morning."

"Betty’s Cafe is famous in York for elegant and traditional dining. You can pop in a cup of tea, lunch, dinner or afternoon tea. They also serve a fabulous breakfast."

"Goji Vegetarian Café and Deli on Goodramgate serve up vegetarian, nutritious and wholesome food, lovingly prepared in-house. They definitely have a passion for good food, which can be seen in the quality of the dishes and they work with local suppliers and organic produce, just ask which dishes are vegan when ordering and you are sure to enjoy a delicious meal!. The deli offers a choice of sweet and savoury snacks, vegan wines and gifts too, and you can take away food too."

"A veggie and vegan paradise, this little deli-restaurant is strictly meat-free. Our personal favourite is the house Goji burger; a mushroom burger loaded with halloumi, salad and sweet potato wedges. There’s a sumptuous selection of cakes and little bits in the deli and even a breakfast menu, should you want to swing by on the way to work."

"Offering take away or eat in service, Goji’s is a repeatedly tried and tested favourite of mine. As an added benefit you will be supporting a local York company with your custom. I highly recommend the Goji hot dog and the fruit crumble with oat cream."

"Next on my list of the best independent cafes and coffee shops in York is Mannion & Co. We ended up here after our original breakfast choice for the day appeared to have closed down – and I’m so glad we did!. After walking the streets of York with no food or coffee inside us, it’s fair to say we were pretty famished by the time we arrived."

"BrunchCharcuterieSmall PlatesInternationalCafeRestaurantYork. When to go: For a good catch up with an old friend. Grab a glass of wine and share a few dishes."

"Relaxed rustic-chic cafe and deli dishing up French and Italian-style food and freshly-baked bread. Address : 1 Blake St, York YO1 8QJ, UK"

"The quirky Treasurer’s House lies directly behind York Minster and was extensively renovated in the late 19th century. However, the renovations were not of their time but were designed to emulate historical houses of different eras so that the owner, Frank Green, could ‘authentically’ house his collection of historical artefacts. From the timber frame medieval feel of the grand entrance hall to the Victorian bedrooms, this is a house that will keep you guessing!"

"Explore one of the original National Trust properties at York’s Treasurer’s House, an opulent and eclectic 2-story mansion set amid landscaped gardens that has a fascinating history spanning 2,000 years. Highlights include the period rooms replete with historical artifacts, including a Queen Anne bedspread and a blown-glass chandelier, as well as the allegedly haunted cellars."

"The Treasurer's House is more than just a museum but also includes a beautiful garden and pleasant cafe. Now owned by the National Trust the Grade I listed property was once the home of the treasurer of York Minister. What we see today is mostly a 17th century house built over a supposedly haunted Roman cellar."

"St Mary’s Abbey is a picturesque ruined Benedictine abbey in York, located in York Museum Gardens. Once the richest abbey in the north of England, it now tells the story of York’s influential ecclesiastical past, and its degradation through Henry VIII’s dissolution of the monasteries. The first church on the site of St Mary’s was built in 1055 and dedicated to St Olaf of Norway, and following the Norman conquest was refounded by King William Rufus in 1088 during his visit to York."

"Once the richest abbey in the north of England, St Mary's lies in what are now the York Museum Gardens, on a steeply-sloping site to the west of York Minster. The abbey dates back to 1086 and over time became the wealthiest monastery in northern England before it was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539. Over the next 200 years, it fell into disrepair and was largely dismantled for its stone."

"Step back in time at this beautifully restored, fully operational windmill. This Grade II listed icon has been lovingly brought back to life by the Holgate Windmill Preservation Society, a collection of local residents who rallied together to secure its future and rescue it from disrepair. Dating back to the late 18th century, the windmill supplied flour from Holgate to York, just over a mile from the city centre."

"If there was one serious oversight in my original 2009 “budget eats” guide, it was not paying full due respect to this vegan veteran. Its soups, dhals, top-ranking falafel, hummus and tinas (fried carrot patties of remarkable ersatz-creaminess; it’s the coconut milk apparently), are the stuff of local legend and tasty enough to have persuaded many sceptical carnivores to come around. You can eat in of course, in the bright, surprisingly Andalucian-styled cafe-restaurant (El Piano has sister branches in southern Spain), but the takeaway hatch is where you will find a serious bargain."

"The Botanist is an absolutely beautiful venue, so if you’re looking for somewhere to have a luxurious bottomless brunch, then this is the one for you. Their bottomless brunch offer lets you choose whatever brunch dish you fancy, and then you can add bottomless drinks for ninety minutes for just £15 per person!. When you see this beautiful restaurant, you’ll be amazed that you’re getting such a fab deal on your bottomless brunch, trust me!"

"The Botanist is a great place to both eat and drink in York as it has such an extensive cocktail menu, as well as great foodie options, too. I’ve been to The Botanist on several different occasions, both with Matt, my friends and old work colleagues for our Christmas party last year and it’s delivered beyond my expectations every single time. I’d recommend: lamb kofta or chicken hanging kebabs (SO good) or the crispy chicken burger."

"One of the Best Bottomless Brunch destinations in York, located along the city’s busy Stonegate street. Stumble into the Botanist and you would be forgiven for thinking you had walked into a secret garden. Their menu is short and as sweet as their triple-layered french toastie, with veggie and vegans also looked after."

"What makes it special in York though is the building it is in – The Grand Assembly Rooms. Think the ballroom from Beauty and the Beast and you get the general idea. From the website: ‘Book a table in The Grand Assembly Rooms, built almost 300 years ago in the Palladian style of architecture, and you’ll be eating in a stunning setting beneath chandeliers and surrounded by Corinthian columns."

"The Strawberry mojito was the best cocktail I had all weekend also. 28/05/2021: Really impressed with this place. The Assembly Room is a fantastic building and the staff were excellent going over and beyond to advise re a food allergy."

"Modern Italian restaurant chain serving long, stone-baked pizzas and antipasto on wooden boards and much more. You can eat-in or take-away. Ask Italian, Grand Assembly Rooms, Blake Street, YorkT: 01904637254"

"Does a premier champagne weekend with resident DJ and fabulous meals set in an urban chic venue sound good to you?. If so, make your York nightlife venue of choice The Biltmore Bar & Grill. The Biltmore’s lively bar has a club vibe at weekends with great cocktails."

"Pitcher & Piano is a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion, and their restaurant in York is absolutely gorgeous. They’ve got some of the yummiest brunch dishes around, too – how does a brunch burger or a baked Moroccan breakfast sound to you?. For £28 per person, you get one of their amazing dishes as well as two whole hours of bottomless prosecco, bellinis, mimosas, Aperol spritzes and pints of Amstel, which is a great selection!"

"El Piano, tucked away in the historic Grape Lane, is wholly gluten-free and plant-based. That doesn’t mean it’s restricted menu by any stretch, as a 5-year winner of Visit York’s Tourism Award will attest to. With over two decades behind them, the El Piano team also run a regular cooking school and a B&B just in case you were keen to really immerse yourself in the world of veggie and vegan cookery."

"Pitcher and Piano – Welcoming you from day to night with a sophisticated escape suited for every occasion. Whether it’s bubbles over brunch or a relaxed Sunday roast, after work drinks or a night to remember – each of our bars has been carefully crafted to bring you something wonderfully unique. Pitcher & Piano do a bottomless brunch."

"York Business Park, White Rose Cl, Nether Poppleton, York YO26 6RL. Beefeater’s breakfast offering at is excellent value especially if you have kids as one child eats free and they count kids as 15 and under. Breakfast is a set charge but is unlimited and you can help yourself to all the components of a full English breakfast as well as continental items like pain au chocolat, cinnamon and raisin bagels, sourdough crumpets, fruit and yoghurt and cereal."
