​

Make a Day of It:
Start with a wander through The Shambles, Stonegate and York’s historic centre, then slip down the fairy-lit alleyway for food and drinks at Ate O’Clock. It is also a strong shout before or after cocktails at Social8 next door, especially if the day has moved from “quick bite” to “we’re staying out now.”

​

The Tidy Take:
Ate O’Clock is York doing cosy, central dining with a bit of theatre. The hidden-alley entrance, warm courtyard and crowd-pleasing menu make it feel more memorable than the average city-centre restaurant. Great for dates, catch-ups, families and anyone who enjoys finding a place that feels tucked away, even when it is right in the middle of everything.
