York has it all - Roman and Viking and Medieval (eg York Minster), Renaissance era (eg York Guildhall) history. Fine Georgian era townhouses. Victorian heritage such as the railway station, railway museum, the old Terrys factory. It has chocolate shops, a decent number of restaurants and pubs (although the villages in North Yorkshire are sometimes just as good or better for those.)
My wife and I enjoyed a very nice meal and the ambiance at a place called Betty's. Modest prices added to the aforementioned pluses. Delightful city and the origin of, you guessed it, Yorkshire pudding to complement your roast beef!
sorry for the trip I'm guessing you didn't get to go on, but when you do get to come, there's a very famous alcohol shop called The House of Trembling Madness which has a very wide, eclectic selection. I wanted to buy alcohol for my friend when we were both students there, but I'm not a big drinker and the staff there were very helpful explaining all the different options and tastes.
I know that English cuisine does not have great international accolades, however being that I would be visiting England, I would like to try English food. I find the way of the world very peculiar these days. I cannot imagine visiting another nation to try food not from that nation. It baffles me. If I visited York, which I would like to do, I would expect to eat English, or better yet traditional regional cuisine. In my own imagination, I imagine a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding, or bangers and mash, or an afternoon tea with the fixings, possibly toad in the hole, or a full English breakfast. There is obviously more to it than what one imagines. Open an English cookbook from 1890 or 1920, 1938 or any year in between. I do not know why more people do not study these for inspiration to open more traditional restaurants. Holding on to one's culture, history and cuisine is important. That is one of the many reasons that people actually want to travel. I have yet to have been in England. As I mentioned I would also love to visit York. Through some research it seems to me that in most cities, and towns in the United Kingdom the most traditional food actually comes out of the pubs. On Google maps it is actually a real chore to find an English restaurant in England, or a Scottish restaurant in Scotland. They are very few and far in between. I find that strange, and unfortunate. I think every region should preserve what makes them unique.
Thank you for that excellent discussion of UK dining - I have made a special addition to my York map with suggested top restaurants that serve a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding. Be sure to make reservations ahead because they do fill up - they only serve it on Sundays. And yes, pubs are generally a good place to eat.

I used to run the upstairs of the tapas bar at O:55 back then it was an italian place. haunted side cellar and top floor! years later I worked for the archeological trust a few doors down to the left. not haunted. crap food though! :/
oh mate. you ate at little shitaly? and its "Goodram-gate"! (not good-ram-gate - nowt to do with sheep!). El Piano - always liked going in at 3am for a coffee. Never liked much of the food though. Too many odd choices for "alternatives" - rather than original cuisine. Okis kebab used to be the best - long as you went before the clubs kicked out.
@@denniscallan did you know york is where willy wonka lives? (hence all the chocolate stuff). look into joseph rowntree vs the terrys factory (the actual inspiration).
@@denniscallan the shambles is the inspiration for diagon alley, and its actually platform 9 at york that is the inspiration for 9 3/4 at kings cross (she was stuck on a train here). ;)

I really loved visiting York!

York well worth visiting. Plenty of interesting places to eatout! I
Visited only once so hope to return. 🙄
It's nice the museum is worth visiting and York Minster.
Please do so!
On Friday and Saturday it is a hellhole full of drunks, stag and hen parties. Most residents avoid the city centre on a Saturday after 5 PM.
Your videos are wonderful !
Old white swan is brilliant try wagyu bar and grille we had Sunday lunch there yesterday was fabulous
I’ll be in York in June ‘20, what are the local ales of York? Do you know of any supermarkets with the best selection and prices?

I have strong connections to York and I like all this publicity, which is all a recent thing. If only ROMFORD were 2 , not 200 miles away!
