Restaurants near Ampleforth Abbey

Always amazing . Perfect food , staff and ambiance . Our go to place in York , never disappoints .

The service was excellent. The starters were fabulous. Some of our party didn’t enjoy the accompaniments to main course. It was my son’s 30th birthday and he received a card and complimentary dessert which was well received. The dress code was explained on the website which we followed but other diners did not which was disappointing ( too casual for the ambience and price mark ie. Hoodies, tracksuit bottoms).

Superb place really magical ambience. The staff were brilliant; friendly and attentive. Went for a Christmas meal with my daughter and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the ox cheek sublime. Can’t wait to go again next time in York.

I had a delightful afternoon tea at Betty's Tea Room that exceeded all expectations. The ambiance was charming, with elegant decor and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The selection of teas was superb, perfectly complemented by freshly baked scones served with clotted cream and homemade jam. The assortment of finger sandwiches was fresh and flavorful, while the pastries, particularly the chocolate macrons and were exquisite. The attentive staff provided impeccable service, making us feel truly special. Overall, Betty's Tea Room offers a magical experience that combines tradition with culinary excellence—an absolute must-visit for tea lovers!

Tasteful Christmas decorations and ambience. Great service, food excellent. 3 of us had the sirloin steak which was perfectly cooked. My favourite, local eating place. Midweek early dining is great value for money and a great dining experience.
