York Restaurant Guide

Plunkets

Plunkets is a welcome part of the scene in a city which, despite being a leading tourist destination, is not over-blessed with what might be termed as character restaurants. The Rolling Stones are reputed to have graced Plunkets with their custom, so perhaps that gives this restaurant a head start.

Rose and Crown

After a heady, but alas! all too brief an entry into the new Millennium when the place was receiving rave reviews, the Rose and Crown became threatened with development.
