when visiting the historic city of york
in england
you should never have any difficulty
finding
something to eat there are all sorts of
restaurants at all
price levels from your simple sandwich
shakeout place
to sit down fancy pubs to gourmet
restaurants
ye old star inn is a pub first
established in the year 1644
making it the oldest licensed inn in
york
a very good place for lunch or dinner or
maybe just settle into the
comfy furniture and have a pint any time
of the day
take any stretch of road and you're
bound to find good places to eat for
example
a couple blocks of good ram gate of
course you've got
several pubs right away you can take
your choice
17th century inn or the golden slipper
on the next corner you'll find a spanish
topple bar
with wines and sherries and those
delectable little treats
for an authentic taste of italy you
can't go wrong with
little italy where they make their own
fresh pasta daily
my dish included chunks of steak and
tomato sauce and
handmade pasta topped with arugula and
sliced parmesan
the atmosphere in here is very quiet and
comfortable
and quite friendly folks working here
it's a family operated restaurant
with a deli downstairs at the other end
of gudram gate
towards the center you'll find an asian
noodle house
wagamama and they are so popular because
the food here is tasty
service is quick and the price is
moderate
around the corner on grape lane you'll
find
a legendary vegetarian restaurant and
the restaurant's called el piano
that all of our food is plant-based so
it's all vegan we've got gluten-free
nut-free palm oil free we've just
recently gone no
no refined sugar and we cater for
everyone so we get everybody and
anyone coming here you know we say food
for all so uh-huh
and you have wine and beer yeah we have
wine we have gluten-free beer that's
brewed not that far
malton so this is our setting and
it's a non-nut satay sauce it's got um
chilies and garlic in and we've got on
the skewers there's tempeh
onions pineapple courgette and peppers
and that is our buckwheat salad
and our falafels from chickpea yeah
we use a lot of chickpeas so this is
paella with
tomato sausage and tinas which are
bolivian
carrot patties as our biggie salsa and
our red lead ketchup
carrot mix and so it's like a caribbean
mexican mix
so it's plantain our cornbread which is
gluten free our corn fritters and our

oh and how long has the restaurant been
here we've been up for
about 19 years 19 years yes
yeah really proud of i've got a really
good clientele i'm really busy at the
moment
we're busy we're fully booked pretty
much every saturday night
wow yeah so it's been really really busy
you don't have to be vegetarian to eat
here right now so most of your customers
are not vegetarian
yeah i mean the average joe because and
they just want to try
different experiences they've heard a
good a good review
about us or they've been told by their
friend to come and eat here
because they'll love it so yeah so
literally anybody and everyone eats here
and all of our food is vegan gluten-free
nut-free el piano is very close to the
minster
it's wood street we're on great plain
green lane which is
um adjacent to a swine gate
and just literally next to high
petergate
hypergate which is a main street yeah
we're right
literally in the middle right in the
middle of town of town yeah
are you in here 19 years 19 years yeah
doing well
yeah doing really well for
more casual eating if you're in the
national railway museum you might try
their cafe
serving breakfast and lunch a true
budget choice can be found in several of
these kebab wagons that are scattered
around town
if you're down by all saints church for
example
in the evening this is a really good
place to have
a quick simple dinner and it's going to
be so inexpensive about five pounds
for a tasty kebab that's gonna satisfy
you
and it's delicious with the sliced meats
and the french fries
you don't need a reservation you don't
need a table just grab a sandwich to go
and you can
eat it at a bench or on the run
you'll probably be having breakfast at
your hotel or your b b
because most of the hotels in york and
throughout england
include breakfast in the price of a room
we certainly enjoyed this lavish
breakfast buffet that was provided at
our
grand hotel a beautiful five-star hotel
that we stayed at for our visit to york
it's located just a block or two from
the old town
and two blocks from the train station
very convenient for our visit

drink in their lounge
