Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in The Stank

"This little gem is one of York’ most recent entries in The Good Food Guide 2019. Owned and managed by a husband and wife team who are as passionate about the ingredients used in their food as they are about the final results, a visit to Partisan will exceed all expectations. Located on the beautiful Micklegate, Partisan is a cafe by day and a restaurant by night."

"Located on Micklegate, Partisan serve both breakfast and brunch. Treat yourself to French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Smashed Avocado and Melted Goats Cheese or the fabulous Partisan Breakfast."

"09/05/2021: Had breakfast here a couple of times while staying in York. Absolutely fantastic food and great service. Best gluten free bread I have had and the cakes also great."

"This hotel, in arguably York's smartest address, positively vibrates with the past, from its medieval stone-flagged entrance hall and leaded windows to the bow-windowed Georgian dining room and 90ft long, Jacobean, oak-panelled gallery on the first floor. It feels elegant but relaxed, with a mix of English and French antiques, modern sofas and contemporary artwork and reportage photography. Fireplaces and leaded windows add character to the rooms while Jo Malone diffusers and thick curtains add luxury."

"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."

"This historic court has had knights, kings and royalty walk the halls proving to be the perfect stay for those wishing to escape into a fairytale. Grays Court sits in the heart of the city with direct access to the medieval York walls. The rooms at Grays Court certainly bring the wow factor, with freestanding copper bathtubs, William IV poster beds, all with perfectly framed views of the Minster or the gardens below."

"When to go: When you fancy a full-on tasting menu and wine pairing. What to have: There’s no a la carte here, so just choose a tasting menu, sit back and enjoy. Nestled just off Walmgate is Le Cochon Aveugle."

"Now, I have never visited Skosh myself but have heard good things about it. They serve small plates such as jersey royals ‘teriyaki’ with sheep’s curd, pickled onions and furikake, saddleback pork fritters, smoked eel and yuzu and char siu pork with rhubarb, ginger and bitter leaves. “A bespoke dining room with an open concept kitchen designed specifically to create a unique experience, in which to enjoy uncomplicated, yet refined dishes in a comfortable and informal manner."

"What: Skosh is neither big nor flashy, and yet you’ll always find it near, if not at the top of review websites and locals’ list of their favourite restaurants in the city. The reasons for this are many, though super-friendly staff and wow-factor food are probably the most important two. Small plates influenced by international flavours are the essence of Skosh, so expect a palate-teasing menu full of creativity."

"Recently opened this restaurant is going down a storm in York and with this Guardian review you should book well in advance!. Read the review hereskoshyork.co.uk/"

"Unfortunately, Thor’s Tipi is very much a seasonal event in York, so you can only really find it during the summer and winter months. However, if you do head to the summer event at The Principal Hotel, you can find a vast array of delicious dishes served by local catering companies such as Hog and Apple and The Shambles Kitchen. In the winter, Thor’s Tipi is usually held in Parliament Street and here you’ll find winter classics such as mulled wine and cider, plus cosy fire pits and sumptuous hot chocolates."

"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!"

"The inside of this bar and restaurant is full of grandeur and eccentricities – and the food tastes as good as it looks!. Serving brunch until 5pm every day, here you can just keep going, and going, and going."

"Serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as having dedicated kids, vegan and gluten free menus. 19-22 Fossgate, York YO1 9TAT: 01904 395056"

"When to go: When you get off the train to York with hangry children in tow. What to have: If it’s Sunday, go for a roast, if not, their roasted corn-fed chicken with creamed potato, wild mushrooms and soft herbs is the next best thing. Standing right by York train station, within the Grade II listed Principal Hotel, sits the AA Rosette-awarded Refectory Kitchen."

"The Refectory Kitchen is well known for its commitment to serving scrumptious seasonal dishes. Their Yorkshire Terrier ale-battered haddock to name but one!. The adjoining Chapter House Bar and terrace must not be missed either, serving an impressive selection of wines, spirits, and ales."

"One of the most unique things to do in York is participating in the Van Gogh Immersive Experience. It is located in York St Mary’s on Castlegate (adjacent to The Jorvik Viking Centre) and is currently open daily from 10am to 5pm. We recommend you pre book your slot, although walk-up visits are also welcome."

"The Georgian-style Mansion House in York is the home of the city's Lord Mayors during their term in office. This is the earliest purpose-built house of this sort still in use – it predates the Mansion House in London by at least 20 years. The foundation stone for the building was laid in 1725, and it was completed seven years later, in 1732."

"Located in the center of the city, the Mansion House is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of York. But along with being a home, this historic house is popular with visitors. The Mansion House exhibits an impressive collection of paintings, silver and furniture."
