"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."

"Just down the street from The Lawrance on Micklegate, you’ll find Partisan, an independent family run café and restaurant.

If you’re hungry, choose from a menu of baguettes, pastries and cakes, or go for one of their traditionally French dishes like the meat feast gallete or the tarte provençale. If you fancy being indulgent, their French-take on afternoon tea is a must-try."

"The French tearoom has a jam-packed menu of dishes for you to choose from. They’ve got classics like avocado on toast, as well as six different ways with eggs. If you want a real French treat, try their crepes."

"Thornton’s Arcade began as a row of shops and offices, but by 1875, the owner, Charles Thornton wanted to expand and so, three years later, one of Leeds’ most treasured landmarks opened. Designed by George Smith, the three-storey arcade sports a lovely glass roof and a William Potts and Sons clock that features characters from Robin Hood. Today, Thornton’s Arcade is full of amazing indies like the award-winning OK Comics and craft beer shop Tall Boys Beer Market."

Not ideal if you’re after a bit of bacon, but having tried their Tofu Nourish Bowl on their lunch menu, I can vouch for the food here. OPENING HOURS: Breakfast/brunch is served until 12pm"

Marigold in Knaresborough enjoys an enviable riverside location at the bottom of the Nidd Gorge.
