    We went and had the 9 course chef tasting menu. Everything was very creative (nothing weird) and…read morehigh quality. Our courses included artisan ham and cheeses, a savory flan, rabbit sliders, grouse and potatoes, pasta, and dessert. Absolutely worth the money. The experience is stretched out over about 2.5-3 hours so we were able to finish everything, which was a worry for me. The service was very good too.

    I was amazed to find Le Langhe was not already on Yelp. I hesitated briefly to add it at first…read morebecause this is one of those gems of a find you want selfishly to keep to yourself for fear of ruining your chances of ever being able to reserve a table again once the secret is out. The location is a five minute walk from the madding crowd of town centre but you'll appreciate the peaceful ambience on its currently only open Friday and Saturday for evening reservations. An even lovelier surprise is in store if you pop in during daylight hours, either for breakfast with freshly baked croissants and a real Italian coffee (unlike in Italy you won't be cast a raised eyebrow if you request a latte or cappuccino before 11.00am per favore) or a sublime pranzo when you will be able to soak up views or take a post lunch leisurely meander amid one of Yorks loveliest gardens nestled at the foot of its' infamous city wall. Head chef and owner Ottavio is an exceptional talent, a gastro genius, humble entrepreneur and an outright gift to York. If you want the real deal in genuine Italian cuisine - and I'm not talking 'adapted to the English palate with lashings of double cream or an oil and balsamic dip (never ever seen that in Italy in the ten years I lived there), or a certain popularly adored main stream 'Laaandan' celebrity who famously offended half of Italy with his wannabe Italian graffiti style food, then this place is the Michelin Star of UK Italian restaurants. This is truly the Mont Blanc of the Alps, the Don Giovanni of Italian lovers and the and Barolo of Italy's finest wines. Speaking of which you'll be hard pressed to find a more comprehensive well studied cantina this side of the English Channel. If you get the chance ask Ottavio about his prized collection and trust me when I say take his recommendation. He is always right when it comes to his beloved wines. I'm personally a great fan of the Tasting menu here because quite simply you need to try as much on the exquisite menu as you can. Whilst much of the core ingredients are imported from his homeland Ottavio is deeply conscientious about sourcing fresh local meat, offal and fish. The extensive cheese and sliced meat selection you pass on the deli counter as you're shown to your table will have you dribbling before you've even cast an eye over the antipasti menu. Simply ask for a selection to set your taste buds on a heavenly gastronomic tour. A personal favourite for 'il primo' is the silkily smooth home made pasta, I'm always torn between the meaty game sauce and the pumpkin and cheese with sage infused butter. If you've still room or have been able to resist so far (seriously?) then head straight to a hearty 'secondo' that will make passionate Italian love to your taste buds. Braised melt in the mouth Ox cheek has me swooning, whilst the John Dory is a gastro lovers delight. Either way both come served with heavenly creamy dauphinois potatoes and seasonal vegetables. If you've a stomach the size of Goliath then try the delicious home made deserts and an espresso. Ask for ristretto, that's short and vavavoom strong. That should ward off any inevitable sleepy sensation as the rush of blood from brain to stomach sets in. Personally I prefer to smash through the stomach pain barrier with some cheese, sluicing down the last glass of a full bodied Valpolicella. As a last tip; take your imagination to this Slow Food founding nation and soak up the atmosphere in an unhurried relaxed spirit in order to enjoy the full experience of this Michelin class restaurant. Just because it's not officially on the door yet doesn't mean it's not in the process, so get in while you can!

    Tarts & Titbits is an odd name. I almost never remember it so that I can recommend it, and for some…read morereason I end up walking by it about half of the time...until I get to their window which is full of eye-catching delights. This is the best sandwich shop, full stop. Great, innovative combinations, but all of the regular sandwiches too. They do a full range of delightful deli salads and always have something that I've never tried on offer. The service is brisk and cheerful, and Phil, the wonderful owner of the shop is always there, remembers what you ordered, and will take the mickey out of you once he gets to know you. You get a lot for the shockingly low prices as well! Tarts & Titbits also offers a lot of local treats that you can't get in grocery stores. I can't recommend this little gem enough. Worth a 10 minute walk out of the usual tourist areas to Gillygate.

The bread is delicious , fresh, the butter nice , each filllng is fresh and flavourful., i really cant commend this place highly enough. The manager knows his stuff too, and takes an interest in his customers. All this talk has made me crave one on their Billy Goat ciabatta sandwiches. Goats cheese, and other delicious things, sooooo yum.

    Excellent food, nice setting, and friendly staff. We very much enjoyed the whole experience…read more The food is delicious and beautifully prepared. The beef cheek was unctuous, and the vegetable accompaniment has lovely notes of cinnamon and juniper in the slaw portion. The hunters stew was filling but not heavy, and well seasoned. The oscypek cheese starter is similar to halloumi, with a firm, salty chew that gets your tastebuds going. The beer selection covers the gamut of Polish beers, from light lagers to raisin-y bocks (Koźlak). There's a wide range of vodka cocktails we did not try, plus ciders and wines. And the truly house made desserts are worth saving room for. I usually pass on dessert, but the cheesecake (not sweet) and poppyseed cake were too much to resist -- and I'm glad we didn't. So filling we brought half back home. The staff was friendly, and our waitress was charming and helpful, and even helped me understand the variations of the gołabki cabbage rolls that my grandmother had called galumpkies. Turns out there are many versions (and names) of these stuffed rolls across Eastern Europe. Now I know! Definitely worth putting on your York agenda. PS: the actual restaurant name is The Blue Barbakan
