    Our experience at the Refectory was outstanding. The ambience and overall feel of the restaurant was relaxing and chilled. The food was simply some of the best we have ever had (now I really understand what an explosion of flavours means when they say it on Masterchef). Prices I would say were mid to high but the food was worth every single penny. Staff were attentive without being overly so & myself and my husband will definitely return when we visit York again.

    Incredible food. We were seated at a long oval as a party of 7 and had the tasting menu. 10/10, would highly recommend.

    Went with two friends and my wife to have lunch at the Refectory. There was a large noisy party of ladies so we asked to be moved which the staff were only too happy to do. Main courses were duck confit, chicken wellington and risotto. The risotto was a bit salty but everything else was delicious. Desserts were hedgerow sundae, petit fours and raspberry mousse. Overall a good experience and I would go again.

    From the moment we walked up to the refrectory we knew it was going to be special. The welcome we received, the splendid cocktails, mouthwatering food and perfect service all made for a special new years eve. York is a wonderful place. If it were a cake the refrectory is the cherry on top. A must vist place that stands out from the rest

    New Years Eve wasn’t as relaxing as we would have liked due to being sat in the line of passing waiting staff. Food was average but the service was very good.

    Restaurant looked really attractive and inviting as we approached, good reception on arrival and well positioned table. Good menu and tasty food, if not a little on the cool side, despite red hot plates. Great service - we will return.
