Where to eat and drink in York

There are a wealth of restaurants in York and the surrounding areas, as well as numerous wine bars, pubs and cafés. Information on where to eat is provided in all our rooms and the local information section in the Guest House. Or simply ask Sandy, who will be glad to recommend somewhere!

Bettys Café Tea Rooms (01904) 659142

The famous Bettys Café Tea Rooms are an absolute must for any visitor to York. Serving a vast range of exquisite teas and coffees from around the world, Bettys of York is an elegant place to while away an hour or two! Treat yourself to a light lunch or a meal, and be sure to take a trip downstairs to view the 'Bettys Mirror', upon which many World War II airmen inscribed their signatures whilst stationed around York. A live pianist often performs in the evening, and musical events are held on selected dates. Their informative website is well worth a visit, and you can take a taste of York wherever you go by visiting their online shop.


Little Bettys (01904) 622865

The aptly named 'Little Bettys' is located in a delightful listed building on medieval Stonegate, just a short walk away from York Minster. The smaller sister of Bettys Café Team Room, Little Bettys offers the same range of refreshments with equally outstanding service and smaller queues! The Café is located on the first floor, so you can sit back and relax whilst watching the world go by below you.


Terry's at the Dean Court Hotel tel. York (01904) 625082

Terry's is located within the Dean Court Hotel, partly within the conservatory and offering a delightful relaxed atmosphere whilst still retaining a classic touch. Serving gorgeous cream teas and a variety of hot and cold meals, Terry's also offers traditional English teas that can be as light or substantial as you desire. Terry's is located in full view of the Minster, and is a wonderful place to relax.


The Exhibition Pub

A good stop for refreshments on your way into the city, serving substantial and traditional pub food that includes rather tasty giant Yorkshire puddings!


The Minster Inn

Slightly off the normal walk into York city centre, but well worth the detour for the experience of a traditional English 'local'. Retaining the traditional character and shape of an English pub, The Minster Inn serves real ales and is not tied to any particular brewery, so boasts a variety of interesting bitters and ales.

Situated on Marygate, just off Bootham; follow the Abbey walls down towards the back entrance to the Museum Gardens.


The Hole in the Wall

A fantastic stop for a quick pint or for some traditional pub grub, just around the corner from York Minster. Like most pubs they stop serving food after 9pm, so make sure to get there early!

Situated just through Bootham Bar, with some rather interesting plaques that reveal how the pub got its name.
