York Restaurants

Good plaice to eat :)

Advantages: Good price set menu, exceptional food
Disadvantages: none

...used to work in a Loch Fyne restaurant after graduating from university but have not been inside one of their restaurants for about 8 years so I wasn't sure what to expect. We were recommended to try this restaurant as we were in York that day and it was a good choice. The restaurant itself is on Walmgate and overlooks the river. We found it quite easily bearing in mind we haven't been there before. The building was light and cool with high ceilings ...
...when I worked in a Loch Fyne restaurant and it appears these have been maintained. The staff were prompt and polite and service was good. The ambience was very relaxed and the decor was low key but fitting for a fish restaurant. The food itself was nicely cooked and presented well. The Loch Fyne restaurant in York is lovely and if you are in York and have to opportunity to go then this is highly recommended. ...

Review of Loch Fyne Restaurant, York

Spice up your life in York

Advantages: Unusual fish and duck dishes, delicious food
Disadvantages: Disappointing dessert menu

...wasn't too difficult to find Bombay Spice, conveniently located in the centre of the city on Goodramgate and just two minutes walk from Fibbers. First impressions were very favourable; the exterior is attractive and well-maintained. There were no other diners when we entered the restaurant though admittedly it was fairly early in the evening. We were shown to a table right in the window - presumably to give passers-by the impression that the place ...
...that Cobra is served at Bombay Spice along with what I call 'cooking lager'. Our starters arrived as quickly as one would hope from a restaurant where you are the only diners. Mine was indeed spicy with a good kick and a decent portion of chicken - no meanness here! The duck tikka got the thumbs up and I had to sample it just to be sure; the duck was lovely and tender and beautifully flavoured. Both dishes came with a small salad garnish and I was ...

Disadvantages: Well below standard,

Both myself and my wife went to Strada in York for a meal to help celebrate our 1st aniversary. upon entering the restaurant I introduced myself to the staff member and told him that we had a reservation for 1830hrs, the instant reply was, " Thats fine sir, but you do know you'll have to leave by 1930hrs?" Everything was a whizz from then on, quick service, but too quick, plates were taken before the food in your mouth was swallowed....My wife ordered ...
...they arrived, the chicken in my wifes opinion was "tasteless" due to being too dry, however my steak was 'blue'. this was sent back only to be returned burnt, on the same plate as before with a now 'dead' salad and cold potatoes, upon asking why it was returned to me in that condition I was told "was it not the steak you had the problem with." The manager wouldnt make eye contact with myself when I asked to speak to him, he did however offer to remove ...

Review of Strada, 75 Low Petergate, York YO1 7HY, York

Modern Indian

Advantages: lovely food
Disadvantages: none

...makes sense! We visited Akbars on a Saturday night and it was busy. We did book a table but the only time we could get for our group of 22 was at 9pm, which I thought was quite late. I however didn't do the booking and so don't know how far in advance we booked. The menu is extensive and what I would describe as quite moden. I cannot remember what I ordered but the food was nice and I can't remember anyone being negative about it. A few people in ...
...of the unique features of Akbars is that they do fmaily sized naan breads which come on a huge kind of metal tree thing and you can just share it among yourself. These were lovely. Price-wise, it is a while since I was there however I can't remember it being overly expensive so I'll say it was reasonably priced. I know that Akbars also have a restaurant in Leeds and possibly another elsewhere. This is a lovely restaurant if you're wanting a bit ...

Frankie and Bennys is an Italian restaurant, there are branches all over the country - there is a feature on their website www.frankieandbennys.co.uk - which allows you to enter your postcode and find the nearest one which is good. I'm very lucky to work just around the corner from Frankie and Bennys, so every now and again a few of us have a night out there. It is the Frankie and Bennys in York that I visit. It has only been open a few years and ...
...let them know that it's someones birthday you get a free milkshake with a sparkler in which is nice! I always have a great time at frankie and benny's and would give it 10/10. It is open from 12-11pm Monday to Saturday and 12 - 10.30pm Sunday. ...
