Bluebell Country Inn, The

Here is yet another of those cosy Yorkshire inns that tend to prove right the general supposition that the county is more than ordinarily well provided for in this respect. The Bluebell has the added attraction that the value for money is incredibly good, and whilst Yorkshire may be the county of 'brass' it is so largely because they are not only good at earning it, they can also use it pretty wisely.

Cafe Rouge - York

Café Rouge has around one hundred branches throughout Britain all offering a wide range of dishes drawn from the French cuisine. Slightly less than half their branches are in or close to London.

Delrio's Restaurant

Delrio's, although described as presenting cuisine from the Mediterranean is Sardinia-specific and, as such, a pretty good gem to have in your city. As though realizing this there appears to be a conspiracy to ensure that you don't find the premises which are, to say the least, obscure.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen - York

The chain was instrumental in changing the perception of many people who saw the traditional burger purely as a fast food option; instead they are now seen as more sophisticated products, made using fresh, good quality ingredients.
