Dyl’s
Dyl’s Café & Bar, Skeldergate Bridge, York, YO1 9WJ
Dyl’s is a contemporary café & bar situated in the iconic Motor House on Skeldergate Bridge, overlooking the River Ouse and Clifford’s Tower. The brunch menu includes such loveliness as a Crispy Bacon Sandwich, Vegan Blueberry Overnight Oats and Homemade Cinnamon Brioche French Toast. It’s a gorgeous, quirky building too! We recently visited and I can recommend the ‘three cheese & jalapeno kicker with caramelised onion chutney served on Haxby sourdough’ – it was divine!
Brew & Brownie
5 Museum St, York YO1 7DT
At Brew & Brownie “we are inspired by the seasons, our countryside upbringing, our urban adulthood, the food we craved as children, to the tastes we developed as we grew. We aim to bring this vision to life at our cafe and coffee house in the centre of York. We have spent many hours researching and discovering some of Yorkshire’s best produce, such as Raydale Preserves based in the sleepy village of Stalling Busk, Johnson’s free range eggs, Bishy Road’s M & K butchers, Wilson’s Butchers based in Huntington, not to mention Haxby Bakehouse’s amazing bread! We care where our food is sourced from and always look for the best quality produce to serve our customers. We include vegan & gluten free options both savoury & sweet as much as we can, one of our lovely staff will be happy to chat about the options available that day.”
Fancy Hanks, York – Boozy Brunch
39 Goodramgate, York, YO1 7LS
Fancy Hanks do a ‘Boozy Brunch’, consisting of a Passion Fruit Mimosa or Bloody Mary on arrival. Then a bottomless filter coffee or breakfast tea, with a jug of boozy ice tea, pitcher of Thirsty Hank’s beer or a bottle of house wine between 2 people. You can then choose from a range of delicious brunches like the American Breakfast, Herby Shrooms or Bacon & Maple waffle. I’d go for the latter as I’ve tried the chicken and bacon waffle in the past and it was delicious!
