If you like cosy Italian restaurants (and you haven’t already been) then Enoteca on Bridge Street should be one you put on your list. It’s an independent family run restaurant, and so much bigger than it looks from the outside! There are a series of snug rooms over three floors,…
We were at the Theatre Royal this week and as I have been chatting to the people at Middle Feast recently, I thought it was a fantastic opportunity to try out their food (it’s just a three minute walk from the theatre, so very convenient for a pre-theatre dinner). Middle…
Have you ever tried Syrian food? Well I hadn’t so I was very keen to try Bab Tooma on Goodramgate. It opened at the very end of 2022 and we have been saying ‘we should try there’ ever since! I have looked at the menu board many times in passing,…
Last week my son got his GCSE results and so as a treat the day after we popped in for a review lunch at Cosy Club. It can be found down Fossgate in the building that was the first purpose-built cinema in York. (If you are from York, you might…

Have you seen there is a new steakhouse opened in the building that was the Post Office on Lendal? It’s called Miller & Carter and we were invited to visit and review last week! They serve the most magnificent steaks that are either 30 day or 50 day aged and…
The Whippet Inn is a complete hidden gem on North Street. The quiet exterior belies the quirky and cosy rooms that await you inside. I am going to talk about the restaurant and the fabulous lunch we had to start with, but don’t miss the photos of The Whippet Inn’s…
This week my eldest teen finished his GCSE exams, so I took him for a little treat – brunch at Mama Doreen’s Emporium – Yorkshire. (It’s up at Monks Cross, if you don’t know it). The brunch is served very much like an afternoon tea. It’s basically afternoon tea breakfast!…
