Food Scene
Out FAVOURITE cafe, ever! One of the reasons we moved to the area. The food is all created fresh using local sourced ingredients. Is a good price and fantastic quality. They have a menu board to check and stop serving food at 3pm. They are happy to offer half sizes for the kids. There is also a selection of toys and books.

Robinsons Cafe
7 Bishopthorpe Rd A lovely cafe offering good quality food.
Our favourite hidden gem. A cafe that has a library inside. This means you can oder drinks, cakes and lunch and then also get your reading fix. Great kids section and they offer kids menu. Really peaceful and on a sunny day you can sit outside and look over the park.

This restaurant constantly receives high reviews and when we dined there we saw why. It is very much a place to book, and is also much more couple/adult focused. Really exquisite food and most sourced locally. Good vegetarian options

Our favourite Italian (well Sicilian to be precise). All food is fantastic here. Their ice cream is home made (and they allow tasting before which my kids love). Some vegetarian options but plenty for the whole family. I don't think they have a decimated children's menu but they are always happy to serve half portions.

Very much a coffee- haven, it is a small space but does great coffee and a selection of cakes and basic lunch. It has a small outside terrace and in winter there are blankets to wrap around yourself. Best suited for couple/adults as there isn't much space for kids!
