York - a food and wine lover's guide
Some ideas for breakfast or brunch
York has loads of really great independently owned places for a coffee, cakes, pastries and all types of breakfasts. We've listed a few places here that we go to regularly. Some are 3 minutes walk away. None more than 10 minutes on foot.
We often dash to Partisan for some fabulous croissants or sourdough. When friends are in town, we book a table and savour their Persian Eggs or Eggs in Purgatory. Delicious!

You can climb on the walls opposite the apartment. It really is the best way to start your visit by walking round them. The best part is between Bootham and Goodramgate.

Best seen on foot.
York is a medieval city and much of the centre is traffic free or traffic limited. It is great city for walking whether in the centre, on the city walls or along the river paths.
