York Restaurant Week 2025
It's that time of year again where York's diverse culinary scene offers unbeatable deals to its diners during York Restaurant Week. Whether you're looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth, or seeking an evening out with you're loved ones, there's so much worth trying, especially with the unmissable, first time, two-week special! Having taken advantage each time this event has rolled around, we have some great first-hand recommendations for navigating your experience. Here are my top 3 recommendations:
Double Dutch Pancake House
Pancake day may have already passed but the wide selection at the Double Dutch Pancake House has us enjoying the dish all year round. With their various sweet and savoury options, alongside the gluten-free and vegan choices available, there's something for everyone. And even if you're just looking for a quick drink and sit down, they've got plenty to offer such as hot chocolate, milkshakes, soft drinks, beer, wine & cider. And for York Restaurant Week, you can get a sweet pancake with one topping and a drink for just £5 per person (with gluten-free pancakes being only £1 more)! I know I'll be heading to the Double Dutch Pancake House to get my personal favourite using this amazing deal : a pancake with golden syrup and a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows! And if you want to add any extra toppings from their main menu, I also highly recommend their berry compote for an extra kick. Located close to our own base, the pancake house can be found at 7 Church Street YO1 8BG. So if you're looking for a relaxed, warm and family-friendly atmosphere to enjoy some breakfast or lunch, this is definitely a top choice during York Restaurant Week.
Dusk
With the weather finally brightening up, now seems like the perfect time to enjoy a drink, alongside some food, in the sun before it disappears again! With its indoor and outdoor seating and dog-friendly policy, Dusk is a great choice. Located on 8 New Street YO1 8RA, this cafe/bar offers a cool and cosy feel with its mystical decor and unique cocktail names - I recommend the 'Stormtrooper ' for a refreshing taste. If you're looking for a pint, pizza, or cocktail, Dusk has some brilliant deals this York Restaurant week, such as:
Enjoy a garlic bread and any pint for just £5.
Get a New York Pizza Slice, small portion of fries and any pint for just £10.
Indulge in a full New York Pizza Pie and any pint for just £15.
Treat yourself to a full New York Pizza Pie, small portion of fries and 2-4-1 Cocktails for just £20.
To redeem the above, be sure to go between 12:30-8pm Sunday to Thursday, or 12:30-6pm Friday and Saturday.
Pho
Found at 75 Low Petergate YO1 7HY, Pho York is one of many great restaurants participating in York Restaurant Week. With its modern and relaxed atmosphere, and wide selection of choice, Pho is a great setting for meals of all demographics - whether your a student looking for budget-friendly food, or seeking a healthy and delicious family meal. Pho serves Vietnamese street food, with a range of gluten-free and vegan options available. It's definitely worth spending an evening at Pho during York restaurant week to enjoy the great deal below!
Get a main course from the set menu, a beer or wine and prawn or prawn-less crackers for just £15 per person. Offer excludes Saturdays.
And if you can handle a little spice, I strongly recommend my go-to main course which is the hot & spicy chicken Vietnamese noodle soup!
