Balti Corner

Advantages: Fabulous night out, excellent food
Disadvantages: only a teeny tiny one - read and find out!!

...On the first night of our recent visit to York we ventured out to find somewhere to eat as the hotel was a tad expensive for us commoners! When we entered the city walls we asked the first people we met where the best area/restaurant was to eat.
