Best Lunch Restaurants in Bilbrough

We ordered French onion soup, pork cheek to start which was delicious. Me and my partner both had the fillet steak with truffle and Parmesan fries, onion rings and mac n cheese everything was 10/10 no faults. Steak cooked perfectly. For desert I had the baked Alaska and my partner had sticky toffee pudding both were fantastic! Jonathan our server was amazing too!

What a lovely venue, food and staff. Everything seemed just right for a “date-night,” great ambience that gave us a feeling of privacy, yet not isolated, an engaged and pleasant waiter that didn’t overdo any interactions, food that was expertly prepared but that didn’t get in the way of conversation. A nigh-on perfect evening.

Another great visit, the restaurant was busy but the atmosphere was great. Pancakes were gorgeous and the service was perfect. The menu is so varied so something to please everyone!

Been here many times and have enjoyed traditional Sunday roast (once) and the seafood sharing platter (many times). Always been a really good meal on here. On this occasion we opted for the Steak Sharing Board (2 x 10oz steaks plus a host of trimmings) for my girlfriend and I, and we weren't disappointed. Simply superb. A little more than we usually spend but happy to advise this is a case of you get what you pay for. Each of the sauces (blue cheese/peppercorn) was spot on as well I don't often leave reviews but this was worthy of me taking the time to come on here and do so. Really did enjoy it Also, must commend the friendly service from the two staff who were dealing with us

Whenever I go to York, I always try to plan in a meal at Forest. I’ve been four times now and each time has been lovely. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious. Plus the restaurant is dog friendly for those who have dogs. I also think the prices are very reasonable being in York city centre. Would definitely recommend!
