Quirky little cafe & restaurant with great food and decor (and just round the corner). All the furniture in the cafe is possible to buy, and they regularly sell York artists' work which is on display.

The famous York establishment. The queues here can get long in the afternoon so we suggest going for a Swiss-Yorkshire breakfast (the potato rostis are to die for). If you don’t make it in you can access the shop; don’t leave without a fat rascal!

We got married here, so we’re a bit biased, but the cafe is excellent, especially if you can sit out on the lawn and admire the surrounding gardens. They also have a really tasty English ‘champagne’ called Nyetimber. (If you look at the artwork above the dining table it shows Gray’s Court garden where we got married - and the top of the Minster where we got engaged!)
