Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Storwood

"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."

"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."

"Again, this one involves eggs, especially on the daytime menu. But if that’s not a problem for you, then you will love this quirky spot. If you don’t eat eggs then you still have options and some very tasty ones too."

"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."

"When you’re lapping up the sun – prosecco in hand, try to remember you haven’t slipped off to Bridgerton. This is the epitome of historic luxury. The award-winning hotel and restaurant located behind the Minster is the perfect place for a luxurious drink in one of the most beautiful court gardens in York."

"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."

"Eat & Drink, Restaurants"

"Making waves since it opened on the increasingly hipsterish Micklegate, everything about Skosh (a short form of the Japanese sukoshi, meaning ‘a little bit’), from the industrial lighting, gunmetal grey walls and steel bench seating, says ‘modern British dining’ but that would be doing it a huge disservice. There are influences from Japan, the Middle East and Thailand, with judicious use of ingredients like edible flower seeds, sorrel emulsion and kombucha (fermented, lightly effervescent sweetened black or green tea) pectin. Saddleback pork, slow cooked and cubed, salmon caviar whipped to a cream and hake with a cauliflower puree topped with dukkah (a mix of nuts and spices) come close to perfection."

"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."

"When to go: With your ‘I’ll eat anything’ friends, as a group. Order one of everything on the menu. What to have: The ‘Hen’s Egg’ – dale end cheddar, mushroom & PX sherry."

"Located on Gillygate, Waffle On serves a mix of English and American breakfasts, brunches, light lunches and afternoon teas, and of course they serve waffles too!. 569 metres from the Minster.81 Gillygate, York YO31 7EA, United Kingdom"

"An independent coffee shop that also serves hand-stretched pizzas. Available Friday evenings and all day until 6pm on Saturday. Text in your order with as much notice as possible."

"Currently doing take out (collection) pizzas as well on Friday evenings until 10pm. Until 4pm every other day except Sundays!"

"It serves Sardinian cuisine made from fresh ingredients, typical of the island. The chef creates extraordinary dishes with brilliant presentations. Address : Acomb Wood Dr, Woodthorpe, York YO24 3XN, UK"

"08/04/2021: A warm understated welcome greeted me from a kind lady who promptly served me a pizza and coffee for my walk home. Both were on point and with service like that I’ll be returning for ice cream and cake as I pass by, next time."

"Roberto Authentic Italian Gelato is an artisanal gelato offering freshly made gelato every day for you and your family. Also serving coffee, cakes, pastries and tasty pizzas. Open for take-away and deliveries everyday 10am-5pm."

"Choose from a variety of unusual flavours like Orange Blossom and Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Sit in or takeaway for a stroll along the city walls. Savoury treats also available."

"At the heart of Coppergate Shopping Centre take a break from shopping at this lovely ice cream kiosk. With a choice of at “least eight flavours daily” and also milkshakes and coffee to choose from, this is an oasis amidst the busyness of the city centre. St Mary’s Square, Coppergate, York, YO1 9NT"

"Bar and restaurant and host to a selection of comedy, music, theatre, poetry and film events. Also available for private hire for parties and business events. The nearest mainline rail station is Hull Paragon then take 3, 5, 9, 33, 44, 103 or 115 bus…"

"The Stone Roses Bar has a unique and quirky Britpop theme to it and is a popular place amongst people of all ages. The area of the bar is pretty huge and there’s even an upstairs balcony where you can enjoy dancing, drinking and playing pool. They’re also famous for their creation of ‘Blue Shit’; a mixture of vodka, lemonade and Blue WKD that’s sure to fill you full of party juice!"

"Proof that a pub under the tutelage of charismatic licensees can thrive under any economic landscape, The Maltings celebrates 25 years in the hands of Shaun and Maxine Collinge. You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled into The Old Curiosity Shop when you first enter to an eclectic collection of furnishings and rusting advertising signs from bygone times. The selection of beers is cutting edge though with expertly selected beers from local breweries pushing boundaries."

"This squat, matt-black boozer off Lendal Bridge is easily mistaken for a goth or rockers' pub. In fact, this toasty bolthole (weathered beams, chunky no-nonsense furnishings, rusting tin-plate adverts for Gold Flake tobacco) is one of York's best beer houses. Maltings' seven cask ales include permanent Black Sheep, regular staples such as York Brewery's Guzzler and beers from newer, smaller breweries, such as Coxhoe's Sonnet 43 and Morpeth's Anarchy."

"You should try The Maltings if you are looking for the best noghtlife experience in York. At The Maltings you will find great beer, great food and great times all in a traditional English Pub setting. We are conveniently located at the foot of Lendal Bridge in the center of the Historic City of York."
