Roots York

We had the three course Sunday lunch. Everything came out promptly and was cooked perfectly. The service from the waiters was excellent, they were very attentive and helpful. Lovely relaxed atmosphere inside the restaurant.

We booked the Sunday Feast on a weekend visit to York and I’m so glad we did. The food was excellent from start to finish. I had let them know in advance that I was pregnant and may have to avoid a few things, I arrived to find my own menu printed with substitutions for the starters and to my delight they were just as delicious as the regular options. The roast pork main was faultless in every way and each side dish was so good you didn’t know where to go next. Portions were generous but not overwhelming. The setting is beautiful and relaxed. If only we had this place in London, we’d be there every Sunday!

I enjoyed the seasonal food, beautiful restaurant and good service. We came for Saturday lunch and opted for the "Core" menu which was 6 courses. Each dish was delicious but my favourites were the courgette, aged beef and the raspberry doughnut. The service was polished, striking the right balance of attentiveness without being overbearing.

Unique experience in a high profile restaurant, with a kitchen and a staff that shows incredible professionalism without getting presumptuous in any way. We're not used to these kinds of environments, but we decided to give it a try as we follow the chef in his various mediatic endeavors, and really appreciate his philosophy on food. The dinner was wonderfully served, eaxh and every dish was savory and a real experience - in both taste and presentation. A big plus is the staff, incredibly well prepared and welcoming. I usually feel uncomfortable when overly served and 'pampered' but this was not the case. A fantastic experience that everyone should enjoy, at least once in a lifetime!

Roots York offers a standout tasting menu featuring seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The dishes are beautifully presented, full of balanced flavors, and the service is attentive. Cozy setting adds to the experience.

Excellent restaurant. A welcome change from the English fish and chips cuisine. Good service as well. And for the foreign travellers there’s no dress code so you can pack lightly.

Great restaurant with lots farm to table elements. Overall a very good experience with good food and professional service. Some farm to table concepts used throughout the course and particularly for the appetiser. Appreciate the effort but I think the home made ham is not particularly good if I am honest, taste like a Tesco ham, I understand it is not easy to cured own ham, but, if you are confident enough to serve it, I will expect more. The leek purée that serve with potato is a bit over seasoned for me as well. It is acceptable when eating with the potato but if you have a small sip of the purée on its own, you better prepare to drink extra glass of water. I think overall the main dish surprise me more as I found the scallops really a show stopper! A really huge one and it tasted good as well. Wine paring is also great as well as it is on a special offer. It’s a good experience and would worth a visit if you are in York.

Great end-to-end dining experience! The atmosphere is casual and yet elegant. The staff are very attentive. It was great to see the chefs at work, every dish meticulously checked prior to service. The stand-out dishes were crab on toast, the scallops with truffle special, and the potato dessert. The only thing perhaps that we would tweak is the charcuterie canapé, it didn't add but rather detracted from the flavour explosion of the accompanying tartlet. Very small detail in an otherwise perfect menu.
