The staff was absolutely wonderful. They have great vegetarian options and we enjoyed the veggie chicken and the chorizo. The highlight was the burnt basque cheesecake which was absolutely delicious!
One order took a little bit longer and we were pleasantly surprised when they brought us two glasses of sherry and crossed the order and the service charge from the bill.
We would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for tapas, a nice atmosphere and amazing service.

Found Tabanco at the start of this year when visiting York and WOW what an experience. The tapas is absolutely fantastic ... I have a Spanish daughter and when in Spain tapas is our go to food, Tabanco tapas is truly authentic. When thinking about visiting York again this June the deciding factor was Tabanco, making sure we could get a table before traveling from France. This second visit was even better than our first thanks to Jim and his enthusiasm, passion and knowledge for the extensive sherry collection that is available. When you get to your table ask for Jim and let him educate and delight you with the sherry on offer. The staff at Tabanco are warm, friendly and ready to advice with the tapas and drinks menu. Thank you to the Tabanco team you are FAB! Jim ... get ready to line the sherry up for us again soon ... we'll be back.

Went with my parents and partner on a Sunday, we had an absolutely fantastic evening. It was very cozy, the food was delicious, the servers were friendly, especially the one with a beard (who's name I can't quite remember unfortunately) who was extremely knowledgeable about the food and the sherry, which was also delicious! Will definitely be going again, and recommending to others.

Love this place. The food is so lovely and the staff and great too. I have been several times, and always come away loving it. I have also been to the 5 course tasting menu event, which was absolutely superb. The food is delicious and the sherry/drinks pairings with each course are very enjoyable. I would deffo recommend this place over and over again!

We had an outstanding meal and experience. The staff were delightful, and their attitude and attention elevated a great meal into a superb one. The dishes were delicious, and a cut above a regular Tapas restaurant. The wine and sherry menu is extensive and interesting. If only we lived in York we'd be there every week!

Amazing place. Great food, drinks atmosphere and music! Loved every element of the place and the guys who served us were awesome (James and a Spanish guy (sorry didn’t catch his name), bubbly, knowledgable and great fun to chat to!

Had a fantastic lunch on a Monday. Service in particular was excellent. Our host had lots of sherry and wine knowledge. Seven tapas between two was ample and extremely tasty.
Christopher Jones
Fabulous food. We were very pleased and surprised to find the restaurant was dog friendly. The waitress was lovely and brought a complimentary drink as it was the wife's birthday. Overall a brilliant meal.

A great dinner venue if you fancy something different. The tapas had an excellent choice of dishes including some great sea food. The staff complement on the evening were all very good and while some people might view them as a little young, all performed their jobs excellently and could engage well with the customers.
Les Litwin
Friendly helpful staff who know the menu. Food is excellent. Highly recommend the Paella Ibérica.
Anne Yates
The food comes out as it is cooked rather than when everything is ready. We were told that the plates were small, so we ordered 3 each. They were not that small, incredibly filling and delicious, we left very full! The staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. Lovely atmosphere.
Lindsay Taylor
Had a fabulous meal here recently. Tapas starters, paella, desserts, coffee and sherry flights with the meal. Knowledgeable staff who could advise on sherry flights to accompany meal. Food was outstanding and lovely relaxed atmosphere with great music. Would highly recommend 👌

We went here for my daughters graduation, so we were in the mood to celebrate. The food and the staff did not dissapoint, the atmosphere was relaxed and very friendly and there was an amazing range of great, tasty and fresh tapas. It felt like a really special and memorable night. Thank you to the great staff and owners of this restaurant. Well thought out, fresh and tasty menu.

3 Tapas were excellent, but found it strange that paella was served with chicken wings bone-in, pretty good, but never before had bones. It had a peppercorn and other spices mix, not at all like Peruvian with chilies or Spanish with saffron. No veggies either. Broccoli was a bit wilted and meagre. Wines (Chardonnay and Rioca) were yum.

A very lovely evening tonight enjoying the wonderful delights of the Press Kitchen. We’ve been a number of times and it never disappoints! Tonight was the first time we’ve been since the pandemic. We had to order and pay for our food using their app! It was fine! The QR code was on the table and we can take our time ordering but you have to pay up front. The staff were welcoming and friendly and gave us instructions on what to do.
The food came quite quickly! We sat and watched the chefs create the lovely dishes! Each one was beautifully presented! We eat with our eyes!! All were delicious and fresh! My daughter who is usually quite fussy with food even enjoyed it and ate each course!! We will definitely return again!! Well done to all the team!! 😋👏🍽🍻😍

We had Sunday lunch here. Tabanco is a must if you are ever in York. What an amazing meal, simply the best tapas we have ever had and we have eaten a lot of it in the UK and Spain. The taste and flavours were delicious. The staff were very friendly and apologetic for a couple of dishes not being available. The price is also very good value too. We had 9 dishes between the two of us and were both stuffed.
Will defo be back next time we are in York.
Jayson Gray

Popped in on a lovely sunny lunchtime - got the courtyard to ourselves as we were early and I have to say we were looked after fantastically by the staff who are a credit to the restaurant.
The young chap suggested the meat platter and talked us into adding the cheese then talked us through what was nice. Top work young man.
Tried a fab bottled beer again recommended then had to give one of the wine flights a try - Three French dry whites all very good and reasonable price too.
We are defo coming back - can't recommend the place enough.

Don't know if you've discovered this place yet - it's Zoe and Tim's new venture and goes in a new direction away from their Ambiente formula. They got the chefs to come up with their favourite breakfasts and meals and based the menu around that. The perfect place for brunch or an affordable dinner out, nice wines / drinks and really friendly, good service. Really nicely styled and there's a pretty courtyard to eat outside. Give it a go - it's in the old bicis y mas place down Walmgate.
Simon Alnaimi
Food, staff and atmosphere are amazing. I recommend trying a flight of wine, you might end up finding one (or three) you really like! The cake on offer is fab too!
Lynn Gregory
First visit to The Press Kitchen today. Excellent food. Lovely atmosphere. Great staff and customer service. I would give more stars if I could. I will definitely go back and I would recommend it to all.
Debbie Marper
Beautiful food. Made with care and attention to detail by head chef Bryce. The Press Kitchen caters for all foodie options. Vegetarian and meat eaters. Superb wine list and fantastic cheese board. Well worth a visit.
