Arras

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in York! We visited with friends on Friday evening. We were offered seats at the bar but opted to go straight to our table. The seats are really comfortable- a novelty these days, but perhaps that says more about my aging bones! Drinks were quickly sorted and canapés arrived shortly after - 3 each, all lovely! We went for the a la carte option, although the tasting menu sounded great! An amuse bouche of “cheesy chips” was next whilst the boys discussed wines with Johnny….a real enthusiast for his job (who wouldn’t be) but none of the pomp and snobbery that often goes with Sommeliers. If you’re open minded about what you have he’s the guy to encourage you to try something new - and I can only guess that he rarely gets it wrong! Without meaning to underplay the food, I’ll let the pics speak for themselves. Each dish is carefully curated by Adam and his team and they all hit the spot. The cheese trolley is a piece of art and the crackers and accompaniments an absolute delight! I cannot speak highly enough of the whole team. An absolutely fab night that we can’t wait to repeat soon. Amazing job Team Arras ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of our top two dining experiences of the last 5 years. Absolutely excellent - incredible food and wonderful service. The staff are knowledgeable on food - and also authentic good people. Loved it.

With our friends, we enjoyed a superb evening at the lovely Arras Restaurant. It wasn’t our first visit, and I can honestly say it never disappoints. Jonny and his team always make us feel incredibly special, nothing is ever too much trouble! The food was outstanding (we had the tasting menu), and the wine pairing was sublime. Over three hours flew by, and I would genuinely say it is one of, " if not the best" restaurant in York. The menu truly has something for everyone, even if tasting menus aren’t usually your thing, and the quality of the ingredients is 10/10. Leave space for the cheese board — an absolute must for any cheese lover. THANK YOU ARRAS 👏

Wow what a fabulous experience! The food was amazing and the wine too. The service was excellent and the staff extremely knowledgeable about the food and wine.

We had a very enjoyable evening here. Good cocktails, we had the coffee based ones. The food was beautifully cooked and presented with imaginative combinations that worked well. Fine dining options for vegetarians. Friendly and attentive service. Expensive but worth it for a special occasion. Extensive wine list, with plenty of wines by the glass. Save room for the very superior cheese board!

Location: in the heart of the city centre. Decoration: elegant and timeless interior design. Quality: delicious meals. Staff: friendly and helpful.

Visited on a recommendation for partner's birthday. We decided on two course lunch and it was fantastic. The food itself was a work of art with so much flavour. Service was impeccable; attentive but not intrusive. We could have paid similar for a two course lunch elsewhere and it wouldn't have been anywhere near as good. Can't wait to visit again!

We had a taster menu with matching wines. Incredible experience. Each course was described with meticulous detail. The food was amazing and service was exceptional. I would definitely recommend a visit.
