Cafe No. 8 Gillygate York

Bruce Cruden had a meal here and told us:
We made our first visit to No.8 on a Friday lunchtime, it was very busy with a great atmosphere. The service was very attentive and friendly. We were made to feel very welcome. The food was outstanding, the flavours and textures were perfectly balanced. The freshness of the ingredients shone through. Our meals were cooked and presented with great skill and attention to detail. We eat out on a regular basis and the food we ate here was among the best we have ever tasted. This restaurant is a gem and we would highly recommend it to everyone. It serves top class food at very realistic prices and in our opinion is the best food in York.

Rob Barnett told us by email that he and his wife had both lunch and dinner at Cafe No. 8 on 3 July 2004. Absolutely outstanding. A bit small but the food and the selection - also the really cordial relaxed and attentive service - is outstanding. I cannot speak too highly of this restaurant and its friendly atmosphere. Truly imaginative menu without pretension or pretentious prices. You must try the lemon and ginger cheesecake with pistachio ice cream. Sirloin steak also superb. Outstanding meal for two for GBP 39.98. Made the holiday in York memorable. If you go to York then be sure to eat there - you will not be disappointed.

We went to this restaurant on a friday evening, the service, ambience & food were all excellent. The menu is interesting without being pretentious and the wine was well priced. All in all a great place to eat, cosy but comfortable. Highly recommended.

This place is a little gem ... fantastic consistent food that is genuinely interesting and tasty. It's a very cosy dining area maybe a bit small but definitely worth it. The garden is a hidden bonus with views of the city walls and minster.
I am always surprised how the place doesn't seem to be packed every night - as it should be! Try the Red Onion, Creme Fraiche and Chili Tart with Goats Cheese.
