As the title says…
Wife’s going to York with a few pals at the start of October and is looking for recommendations on decent places for a meal, also drinks/cocktails. Has already booked something called Pairings I believe for the Friday.
Will be staying in Piccadilly but not sure how big York is as to what’s easiest to get to.
Tried TripAdvisor and that sort of stuff already but a lot of them seem to be larger chain establishments.
And thoughts appreciated 👍🏻

I live in York. It's not big, but it's lovely.
Pairings is very nice. I've only had wine and hor d'oeuvres there but they might offer more substantial plates.
I always recommend Il Paradiso del Cibo, an Italian restaurant which is only 5 minutes from Piccadilly.
It's an authentic Sardinian place, totally informal with the best specials board ever. I never eat off the menu!
She must book though. Mention my name. I'll PM you if she books it.
A great place for cocktails would be Sora, the sky bar at Malmaison. It's probably about a 10 minute walk from Piccadilly.
Anything else, just ask.

Not sure if it's her thing but I am into craft beer/drink and I order from The House of Trembling Madness regularly from York. I think they have a couple of decent bars to go to for beer/wines and they do food. Get pretty good reviews online

She will be smack bank in the middle of it all. TBH there were 10s if not 100s of bars to choose from. Imagine the grassmarket, cowgate, Rose Street etc and that's how the whole town centre felt. Great place to visit. We stayed outside the walks and if thet walk towards the Micklegate there are loads of bars and places to eat too.
Of they like Thai and dont' mind walking 10 mins from the centre I would recommend Ta Tien which was great value and very authentic, imo.

Probably not relevant for this trip but just in case.. it's my favourite racecourse of anywhere I've been (including Cheltenham). Brilliant day out.

Love York and all of HR’s recommendations were outstanding when we last visited. Will return probably next year now.

Can't really add anything to what has been suggested by others above as it's all great advice. York is a great city, I really have to get back soon.
Actually I would suggest the Rook and Gaskill, I don't think that has been mentioned. Great beer selection.

It’s been about 15 years since I worked in York and can only remember 1 pub, The Hole in The Wall, decent wee boozer but not sure it’s up your wife’s street.

Obliged to everyone for all the recommendations. They've been passed on and it's now up to her to decide

York is a brilliant city centre to walk around because it's quite small.
If it's decent weather, I'd recommend a walk around the city walls.
Anything else, just ask.
