The Cantonese dim sum here is spot on. I&#39;m from Hong Kong and was genuinely impressed. The dumplings had that familiar, delicate flavour. The space itself is quite nice, very relaxed and open.

Really liked the vibe here, felt safe and relaxed. The door team, Gee, Baba and Xavier, were spot on - made sure everyone was comfortable. You don&#39;t get that everywhere.

The fish and chips are definitely better than they were last year. Good to see they take cards now.

Popped in for a coffee and ended up staying for lunch. The shortbread is seriously moorish, couldn&#39;t stop at one piece. Brownies were a solid follow-up. Just a nice, simple spot.

The kids&#39; menu here is solid, my little one actually ate his chicken bites. Clean loos with a changing table too, makes things easier.

The staff here are really friendly and chatty. They helped me pick out a few flavors for my custom box, which was nice. Always seem happy to help.

A really nice spot to unwind. The no-laptops rule is great, it keeps the place feeling calm and social. The staff were very friendly and made sure I was comfortable. A lovely, quiet atmosphere for a relaxed lunch.

Loved the cheese scone here. So warm and flaky, it just hit the spot on a grey afternoon. The whole place has this lovely, slightly odd charm.

The 2-for-1 cocktails are always a good shout. It&#39;s just a solid, dependable place for a drink. The vibe is always easy, never feels like they&#39;re trying too hard.

The fish and chips were solid, really enjoyed the crispy batter. Just wish there was a bit more variety on the menu, maybe a burger or something different for a change. Felt a bit limited for choice.

Service was top-notch, they really took my nut allergy seriously. Food was fresh and came out at a good pace. The wine list had some interesting local options that paired nicely with the main.

This place is my go-to for a quick lunch. The brie and bacon panini is spot on every time. Coffee&#39;s always hot and ready. In and out in 20 minutes. Perfect for a busy day.

Nice spot for people-watching from the first floor. Coffee was decent.

A lovely, cosy spot. The coffee was spot on, and my dish was gorgeous &ndash; a bit too much for me, honestly. Had a nice glass of red with it that worked surprisingly well.

The ribs and chicken were so good, honestly. The staff were really lovely too, which made it a great spot for a catch-up with friends. We didn&#39;t feel rushed at all.

Love that they have non-dairy milk. The almond croissants were a real treat. Staff were lovely when I asked about gluten-free options, very helpful.

Stumbled upon this place in York. The soba tea was a fun surprise &ndash; it actually tasted like popcorn! The cheesecakes were lovely and light too. Staff were really helpful with the huge tea menu, took their time explaining things.

A lovely, welcoming cafe with the sweetest dog pictures on the wall.

The fish was incredibly fresh, just caught this morning. The texture was firm yet delicate, and the simple lemon butter sauce really let the natural flavour shine. Could have used a bit more seasoning for my taste, but the quality of the fish itself was undeniable.

The wine list here is surprisingly deep for a small place. The sommelier suggested a glass of something local I&rsquo;d never heard of, and it was a nice little find. The short menu option is handy, too.

Been coming here for years, and the Adana kebab is always spot on. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Nice pub garden for a birthday. The chef joined our pool game, which was a fun touch.

Came for the steak. It was cooked just right, juicy and tender. The portion was generous for the price, which is always a plus. Drinks came quick too. Good spot if you&#39;re hungry and watching the budget.

The 6-dish tapas deal is solid value. The meatballs were the highlight, very flavourful. Service was efficient, got us in and out for a business lunch. Good option near the office.

Decided to try their Sunday roast. The portion was huge &ndash; got the beef and it covered the plate, with loads of veg and a proper Yorkshire pud. Honestly couldn&#39;t finish it all. Good for the price, no complaints there.

Jason and Maddie were brilliant. They really knew the menu inside out and gave us some solid tips for exploring York.

Nice spot on the main street. Scott, our server, was really friendly and made the evening pleasant. The food was decent, though the pasta dish was a bit on the salty side for my taste. A solid choice for a relaxed dinner.

Been coming here for years, and the car park is always a lifesaver. Never had to circle around looking for a spot, even on busy weekends. Makes popping in for a pint and a bite so much easier.

Popped in for lunch near the city wall. The steak and cheese sandwich was a real find&mdash;the bread was toasted just right, and the cheese was properly melted. My friend&rsquo;s crispy chicken, bacon, and avocado one looked great too. A solid little spot.
