York - Restaurant Recommendations (NOT fancy!)

8 replies

Tarjet · 10/08/2025 16:31

In York for a few days next week with my son. He is autistic and only eats very plain food - aka a plain steak and chips, a burger with nothing in it but the meat and cheese, fish & chips.

Looking on google most places seem to be either gastro pubs, fine dining or fast food. Can anyone recommend anything that’s nice and serves non pretentious food! DS is a big carnivore so maybe a BBQ place? We won’t have a car and are located in the centre of the city. Happy to uber to anywhere good though!

Thanks in advance!

If you like Pizza The Minster Inn do half price on Tuesdays and Wetherby Whaler for fish and chips, it’s a ride out of town but consistently good. However loads of great restaurants in York and lots to do. Have a fantastic time.

This thread from February may also give ideas @Tarjet

Damastique is excellent, it’s Middle Eastern so lots of plain grilled meat and salad options
burgers: Fat Hippo, Burgsy’s and also the Byron is good.

Ask Italian is in the assembly rooms, a beautiful building and if you look on their website they list current offers.

Casa at the bottom of Micklegate, it's a Brazilian Rodizio, the waiters bring different meats out on what look like swords, there's a salad / sides bar which is lovely.
It's about £20 per person at lunchtime.
Or Cut and Craft for a steak or a burger.
Miller and Carter is a bit more expensive

Rustique on Castlegate is nice, it's French but they do a good steak, they also have a set price for main and dessert or starter, main and dessert.

Zaap are great- they started up in Leeds. Great Thai food.
