York Restaurant Recommendations
Does anyone have current info on restaurants in York? We will be there for 3 nights in early July as part of a 50th anniversary trip. Thanks

Hi patom,
As we have a policy of not resurrecting threads that are more than 2 years old, to avoid outdated information being misunderstood, I've split your post out into a new thread to start a new discussion on where to eat in York.

Oh, and I don't know where you're staying, but I recently used the Hotel du Vin deal (where you pay a nominal amount for the room, if you spend a certain amount in the brasserie). The food in the brasserie was really pretty good (even though it's a little way out of town).

Have to disagree - it's one of the best pub's you will find at any railway station and when we were there they had an excellent selection of beer. We were attending a conference at the Royal York next door (pretty poor hotel) and I think most, if not all, of us preferred the station bar to the hotel.

Ah ok, I was thinking of the grotty old one on the right as you came through the station doors all formica and sticky floors that was really pretty ghastly. I didn't realise there was a new one 
Hence my polite amazement.

Ah, I wondered. The new one is in the old model railway place, it's not at all bad.
Not that York is short of decent pubs (even for this non-drinker) though.

patom, I spent a weekend in York in March and LOVED it there. For roast beef and yorkshire pudding, I went to Thomas' of York at 3 Museum Street. It was a Sunday afternoon (of course) and I was heading toward the National Railroad Museum and there it was. The ciders on tap were great too.
Others have mentioned Betty's. So will I. You should go. Many go for high tea. I went for the Swiss menu at dinner time. They are also chocolatiers.
Lunch — I was walking across the Lendal bridge and I saw what looked like a little castle on the beginning of Museum Street. I forgot the name of this little café so I had to look it up. It's called Hartley's Fine Sandwiches and I discovered it by chance walking from the train station into town. It's pretty much on the bridge on the York Minster side. Fabulous sandwiches—what they can do with bacon....
Stay at a B&B and enjoy their breakfasts!
