Excellent dining experience at Melton’s! The food was truly Michelin Star worthy. Each dish was perfectly sized for the flavours it delivered. Great texture too. Appreciated the fact that the waitresses knew the dishes well and could explain them. Truly worth a visit and every dollar spent.
Fine dining without the mega budget. Drinks are particularly fair value and Lucy, the owner, is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable sommelier. This place should have at least 3 rosettes and we've definitely had worse meals from Michelin star restaurants. For under £100 you get a 7 course tasting menu, and every dish was picture perfect (see pics) and beautifully balanced. My favorite was the beef with Roskoff onion's and 3 purees: horseradish heat, a smooth something (celeriac?) and a finely chopped pickle? And a slice of salt baked kohlrabi.
The staff were running up and down the stairs with the food going great guns. They seemed like they enjoyed their work and we're a great team. Lovely old house as well.
Reserve weeks in advance.
We had a fantastic meal at this restaurant, outside the hectic centre of York. The food was Michelin star quality and the service was friendly, well informed and attentive. We turned up without a reservation early on a Saturday lunchtime and were lucky to get a table cause it was nearly full by the end of service.
We had three courses and a half bottle of wine.
The canapés (3 each) and the amuse bouche were delicious and generous. Then the rest of the courses were all fabulous - tasty and beautiful.
An unexpected gem in suburban York.
It's not cheap but this sort of quality takes time and skill. In terms of value for money it's a bargain.
Fresh, innovative cuisine - tucked in a corner of York.
We enjoyed every bite of the seasonal tasting menu and wine flight.
It included seasonal mushrooms, scallops, beef and a few other amazing surprises.
Cozy atmosphere with welcoming, knowledgeable staff.
We’d definitely visit again.
We had the taster menu with the wine pairing. The flavours in every course were delightful, and the wine perfectly selected to match. The knowledge of the team and owner made the experience all that more special. Would highly recommend and will be visiting again.
Went for dinner on a Tuesday night and we were completely charmed by the warmth of service and intimate atmosphere. The tasting menu was elegant and diverse and the wine pairings for each course were deeply thoughtful. The staff were incredible and very knowledgeable on each dish and glass of wine they served. Thank you so much for an incredible experience!
I went here for my birthday, they were very accommodating and kind. Excellent service and food!
What a gem, just outside York centre. We enjoyed the taster menu and wine pairing. Our servers were passionate about both food and wine and we came away wanting to return ASAP. Well worth a visit.
Amazing food, wonderful, friendly team. Best meal I've had in a long time. Highlights were the amuse Bouche and the breads, I know I should say the main meals but suffice to say, an excellent meal.
We celebrated my wife’s birthday here on Saturday and it couldn’t have been any more perfect.
The welcome and service from Harvey was exemplarily and he talked us through each course with good confidence in the ingredients. It is also nice to get an insight into his love of the job he does. The passion is clear to see and seems to mirror the feel of the owners and chefs.
Each of the taster courses delighted the palate, from the amuse bouche to final dessert.
Our wine sommelier Lucy also has a passion for the pairings she offers. A good insight into her reasons for choosing each pairing gives you great confidence that each one works perfectly.
Thank you for an amazing evening
