Restaurants

Village, Walthamstow, London

There is a bewildering number of restaurants in York, increasingly including branches of national chains and restaurants in hotels.

PLEASE NOTE

Many York restaurants now offer delivery via websites or by phone.

A lot can be said for retiring to a nice park like Museum Gardens or Dean's Park, or to a riverside bench with a picnic on a sunny day.

There are are now also frequently delivery options. Key websites for these services are Just Eat, Deliveroo or Uber Eats.
