    Wonderful food, cozy atmosphere, great beer and muled wine. We loved this restaurant! We ordered…read moredumplings and perogis and highly recommend them!

    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

    I'm surprised that I've not got round to reviewing this place yet having visited Filmore & Union…read more in late Summer 2017, it is located in York Train Station. Filmore & Union is basically a gluten-free bakery, a small chain with a few stores, mainly in the Yorkshire area. I called here by chance having to change at York Station on my way home from Newcastle Upon Tyne, with maintenance works going on at Victoria Station hence meaning I had to change, and I was delighted to find a totally gluten-free bakery. There didn't seem to be a large amount of seating but the overall range of food was decent, I ordered a toasted peri-chicken wrap and also had a rose and pistachio cake, the premier was above average and did taste okay, albeit it wasn't something you could just eat and it was quite messy and required a knife and fork which isn't great considering this is supposed to be "to go" food, another issue was the fact it stuck to the paper so easily, and perhaps using some better paper in the future would be better as this was a huge issue. I ordered a rose and pistachio cake, having previously been aware of the combination of the two flavours from when Starbucks did a Limited Edition Pistachio and Rose Mocha just over a year ago, I didn't really enjoy the cake, it tasted a little dry. This is only a small stand in York Station, and is rather similar to another gluten-free bakery I visited which is a stand inside a department store, called Beyond Bread inside Selfridges and London, they both sell similar products of a similar quality in a similar nature (a stand inside somewhere), away from the comparisons this branch is OK, and is great for getting some food while in the train station (albeit at slightly higher pricing but this is normal for me as it is gluten-free food which is often more expensive). Due to the quality of all food struggling to reach much higher than the satisfactory / good mark, and slight issues with the pricing and the fact this place could be hard to find incase you are not using the platform, I feel it only deserves a three-star rating but this branch did impress me enough to add a larger, stand-alone branch onto my "to go to" list next-time I'm in the area.

    I bought a dark chocolate brownie here a couple days weeks ago when changing trains at York. I've…read morejust bought an orange brownie here whilst waiting for my train back to London. I highly recommend both of these, as well as the coffee.
