Partisan in York is an independent family-run café that caters to all food lovers. Fresh and local ingredients are behind its wonderful all-day breakfast menu. For vegans, go for the breakfast skillet of scrambled rose harissa tofu, tempeh, mushrooms, vine tomatoes, homemade baked beans, home fries, avocado and chimichurri. It’s mouth-wateringly good.
For a quieter and relaxing time, discover Dyls in York. This independent family-run business is situated in the iconic motorhouse on Skeldergate Bridge, overlooking the River Ouse and Clifford’s Tower. Come in summer and enjoy al-fresco dining and beautiful river views. Treat yourself to fantastic coffee, freshly baked pastries and light bites.
For a brunch that’s a bit different, why not go for pancakes? This family-run place is the only pancake house in York centre, and they’ve got a huge menu of every kind of pancake you can think of. There’s sweet and savoury pancakes, breakfast pancakes (even a granola pancake!) and of course, milkshakes and waffles. This is one you won’t want to miss.
