Good Places to Eat
For usually reliable and up-to-date info about local eateries I visit the website of Squidbeak.
YORK, England
- cafe no8 bistro, York. Best breakfast in town, but this is a class joint all round . . .
- The Grange Hotel, French, York.
- Grays Court, Chapter House Street, York (tucked away behind the Minster); tea rooms serving coffee and cake and a nice lunch menu. Newspapers, too; either in the 17th century oak panelled Jacobean long gallery or outside on the lawn.
- Le Langhe, Peasholme Green, York. Italian deli and lunch restaurant; difficult to get a table unless you book.
- The Pig & Pastry, 35 Bishopthorpe Road, York. +44 (0)1904 675115. Often crowded, you share a table with many others, but the food is locally sourced and attentively prepared.
- Il Paradiso del Cibo, 40 Walmgate, York. +44 (0)7733 298083. “Paolo Silesu’s tiny Italian feels, quite deliberately, like some family-run back street restaurant in Turin or Rome.” And the food is good and cheap.

- Le Mercury, French, London.
- Lemonia, Greek, London.
- Melati, Malaysian, London.
