Broughton 最佳餐厅

Winteringham Fields

★ Michelin££££Modern Cuisine

This 16th-century former farmhouse sits in a sleepy village close to the Humber Estuary. It’s an area rich in agriculture, so it’s no surprise to find local ingredients to the fore on the surprise tasting menu, be they from regional producers, nearby farms or the long-standing owners’ smallholding where they rear animals and grow veg. The chef's personality shines through in the full-flavoured dishes, from nods to his Yorkshire roots to refined takes on his favourite foods, like chicken tacos and lamb kebab. Sumptuous bedrooms mix classic character with modern comforts.

Pipe and Glass

★ Michelin£££Traditional British

Look for the church spire to help you navigate through the maze of country lanes that lead to this charming 15th-century pub, which was originally the gatehouse of Dalton Park. The Yorkshire larder is well-represented on the menus, with numerous daily specials reflecting what’s best in season. Unfussy, instantly recognisable dishes like dressed crab are elevated thanks to the exceptional ingredients and the kitchen's keen sense of balance. The charming team ensure everyone is looked after with a smile, and smart bedrooms add a luxurious edge.

Roots

★ Michelin££££Modern Cuisine

Set in a quiet area of the city, this attractive Arts and Crafts building is little sister to the Black Swan in Oldstead and shares its ethos of seasonality and sustainability. Tasting menus evolve naturally according to the availability of produce – which originates from their kitchen garden, small regional suppliers and chef-owner Tommy Banks’ parents’ farm. Creative, modern dishes are carefully prepared and deceptively simple to look at, yet offer great refinement and depth of flavour. There’s plenty of choice on the well-chosen wine list, with everything available by the glass.

Skosh

必比登££Modern British

This bright, lively restaurant is still one of the hottest tickets in town, and it's easy to see why. Located just up the road from Micklegate Bar – a 12th-century gateway to the city – its name comes from the Japanese word meaning ‘small amount’, referencing the menu's sharing-plates format. Six or seven dishes is about right between two, with each one incorporating bold, precisely balanced flavours with real skill. Indian cuisine has a palpable influence on the cooking, but so does the rest of the world – with dishes like masala monkfish and the superb hogget 'shawarma'.

Restaurant DOM

£££Modern Cuisine

Slawomir Mikolajczyk from The Hope & Anchor in South Ferriby has given this town centre spot a top-to-toe refurbishment and it’s a place you’ll quickly fall in love with. The smart, wood-clad interior features shelves bursting with jam, pickles and preserves; in winter you’ll likely find some in your meal, such as pear and beetroot chutney with creamy duck liver parfait. The cooking as a whole is overtly seasonal and strives for a nose-to-tail approach, while Mikolajczyk’s Polish heritage comes into play too, including his grandmother’s sauerkraut recipe.

Hope & Anchor

££Traditional British

Don’t be put off by its location next to the cement works, as this rustic, nautically themed pub with Humber views is definitely worth the visit. Carefully prepared British dishes display touches of originality and are full of flavour, with top quality ingredients leading the way and fruit and veg from their own smallholding. Meats are aged in a glass-fronted drying cabinet and cooked in the Josper oven; some are designed for sharing and they even offer Wagyu. Bedrooms are modern and some have estuary views.

Hearth

££regional

Run by a pair of friends and located among some fine buildings in the old part of town, this buzzy spot operates over two levels. The ground floor houses a bar and bakery, while the upstairs is home to the rustic two-room restaurant. The menu fuses small plates with larger dishes, often coming from the grill – or ‘hearth’ – that takes centre stage in the open kitchen. Start with sourdough from the bakery, then make sure you check the boards for daily specials, as you might get to enjoy delicious seasonal produce like Yorkshire grouse.

It's apt décor for a place with a passion for local produce and a warm, inviting atmosphere thanks to the long-serving team. The ambitious cooking is underpinned by the natural flavours of the high quality ingredients, and the strong classical technique of the experienced chef is evident – if a soufflé is available for dessert, make sure you order it.

Inos Greek Taverna & Bar, York

££greek

Located in York’s buzzing centre, this relaxed restaurant brings a sunny taste of Greece to the historic city. It’s a simple, cheerful place with an informal bistro vibe and friendly service. The cooking presents great value for money, especially at lunchtime, and offers well-executed versions of classic dishes: start with pita and dips, then share the likes of ‘keftedakia’ meatballs or moussaka, before ending on a sugary note with the ‘Portakalopia’, a Cretan cake with orange syrup. Greek wines and spirits add to the authenticity.

Arras

£££Modern Cuisine

On the edge of York’s buzzing centre, you’ll find this brick-built former coaching house. Inside, there's a Mediterranean feel to the white-and-blue décor, while an enclosed terrace is ideal for the summer. The cooking gets off to a great start with stand-out bread from their bakery, Little Arras, before dishes that are guided by the seasons and feature inventive touches and combinations. Cheese lovers should save room for the excellent British selection presented on a handmade oak trolley, while wine enthusiasts will be delighted by a well-curated list – including a strong English showing.

Fish & Forest

£££Modern British

The name is a clue as to this intimate restaurant’s focus, as well as to its sustainable ethos. Tucked down a narrow cobbled-street in York's pretty city centre, not far from the famous Shambles, its menu focuses on fish from small boats, meats reared putting husbandry first and game from local shoots. All parts of the ingredients are used too, so that the constantly evolving blackboard menu produces little waste. The self-taught chef's cooking has an ambitious edge, with dishes proving to be fresh and vibrant. The friendly team add to the appeal.

Legacy

££££Modern British

The Grand Hotel – built in 1906 as the HQ of the North-Eastern Railway Company – is a building that certainly lives up to its name. Among its historic interiors lies Legacy, a formal restaurant with an elegant feel thanks to its parquet flooring and marble-topped tables. The kitchen is strong on technique and fuses Yorkshire ingredients with Japanese influences, from the use of ponzu to a chawanmushi-like dish of shiitake custard. The knowledgeable service team keep things running smoothly.

The Bow Room at Grays Court

££££Modern British

Tucked away by the Minster and bordered by the historic city walls, this beautiful Jacobean house with luxurious bedrooms and a peaceful garden is something of a hidden gem. Enjoy an aperitif in the characterful wood-panelled gallery, then head through to the more modern restaurant with its large bow window. Seasonality, purity and freshness underpin dishes that often use ingredients from their own garden – look out for the poached Yorkshire rhubarb dessert when available. The service team have an affable, natural charm.

The Star Inn The City

££Modern British

As locations go, this buzzy all-day brasserie is in a real gem – even in a city with as many pretty spots as York. Part of the same group as The Star Inn at Harome, this city centre spin-off occupies an old brick-built engine house next to the Museum Gardens, with large windows and a lovely terrace overlooking the river. The menu of carefully cooked dishes has a pubby base and blends modern execution with a pleasing gutsiness – underscoring it all is the top Yorkshire produce, with seasonal influences leading the way.
