Last time I was in York I ate at a place called Ate O'Clock, in fact both times I've stayed over I have. Last time was 10 years ago mind.

My missus is a Yorkie mate, it`s like my second home, what type of food are you after ?
No trip to York is complete until you`ve been to Betty`s Tea Room ( afternoon tea is excellent ) and January is great time to go, as there`s very rarely a queue to get in.

Your wife's a chocolate bar and you're pimping her out?

I should be so lucky !
Lovely city, with some of the best boozers in the country, just a shame that the footy club moved from their old ground, which was around the corner from some great old skool boozers and probably the best curry house in York, to a soulless out of town site, which they share with the rugby club.

Anything but a curry tbh, tea room is a good shout. Might step out for munch there

The Starr in the City, in the Museum Gardens is very nice and in a lovely location overlooking the river. ( It`s a spin off from the Michelin starred pub in Harome / N. Yorks )
If you`re looking for a good variety of places to eat with food from all over the world, there`s loads of little bistro type restaurants in a road called - Fossgate.
It`s the real Boho trendy part of York, with one of York`s most famous pubs - the Blue Bell, which is tiny, but beautiful inside and the beer / drinks are always good.
There`s also a very good Italian off the Shambles, called La Vecchia Scuola, a stones throw away from the Minster.
The interior of is just stunning ( it`s an old Georgian school, hence it`s name ) and with it being close to the Shambles, you`ve got a real choice of decent boozers and bars very near by.

You shouldn`t have to book, with it being the end of January, but I`d book anyway, as it can get busy.
I can highly recommend a bar around the corner in Stonegate - The House of Trembling Madness.
It sells beers, wines and spirits from all over the world and is a cracking bar too, full of character.
There`s a decent old pub called The Punch Bowl just down from The House of Trembling Madness, where the beer is always good and they have a fire in the back room too.
