5 Eat & Drink in York

Having survived the rule of the Romans, Vikings and the Normans, York has experienced a lot of changes in the last few centuries. Today, conquest remains a thing of the past – contemporary migrants don’t need to pillage and destroy to make York their home. Instead they move here to partake in the relaxed way of life this charming city is known for. Tradition can be experienced all throughout the city, especially in the city’s bustling English pubs. These classic hangouts usually offer a range of amazing ales, fine wines and home-cooked meals ranging from bar bites like sausage rolls to big spreads of English favourites – think bangers and mash, Yorkshire pudding and fish & chips. On Sundays, many English pubs and restaurants in York offer a special Sunday roast, a traditional feast that brings people together from all over the city for juicy roasted meats, gravy, potatoes, and a range of other accompaniments depending on the particular restaurant.

As is the case in most English cities, in York, curry is king. The city is packed with a variety of Indian restaurants, with some specialising in particular regional offerings. One fabulous restaurant which we are particularly fond of is Bombay Spice (bookable on Quandoo!), right in the city centre. This award-winning dining establishment has been compared to restaurants in London’s famous Brick Lane and Manchester’s Curry Mile, and it’s known to impress even the pickiest of curry aficionados. The Indian restaurants in York feature a variety of options for vegetarian diners, too, including classics like channa masala (chickpeas cooked in a tasty tomato-based sauce), saag paneer (spinach cooked with a special Indian cheese) and aloo gobi (a delicious mix of potato with cauliflower). Fans of fresh seafood can also find something – the Goan fish curry is a tasty dish that you can find at many of the great Indian restaurants in York.

Speaking of vegetarian Indian food, we should also mention that York happens to have several places to dine fully vegetarian (or even vegan!). At these York restaurants, you’ll find menus featuring everything from veggie burger to simple rice and beans with lots of spices. The days of eating just a couple of pieces of raw vegetables while your non-veg tablemates chow down on a burger at at one of York’s restaurants are long over. Now, many places offer a full vegetarian menu alongside their regular offerings, and you can go to some York restaurants that are 100% vegetarian and with no animal products in sight. These restaurants often offer up vegetarian versions of popular meat dishes like chicken, burgers and more. Head to one of the meat-free restaurants of York to see for yourself whether their vegetarian dishes are up to par.

Because of York’s rich history and charming streets, the city is a popular destination for tourists from around England and abroad. This walled city has many awesome sights to check out, especially like The Shambles, a medieval street with timber houses dating back to the fourteenth century. Another popular spot to check out is the Mansion House, where the Lord Mayor of York lives, and the highly interesting York Castle Museum. There’s much, much more where that came from, so be sure to fuel up at one of the many excellent restaurants in York so that you can avoid the dreaded museum fatigue!
