Bidrage med feedbackUnbelievable Banoffee pie! Very friendly and fast service, would recommend!!
I havent been here in years as it always seems to look a bit rough from the outside. when i went with my friend i found that the food was really homemade and so was the cake. we had the club sandwich and the chicken, smoked cheese sandwich and it was actually really nice. we had to try the cakes too! the flapjack was really yummy and the key lime pie was a good effort. im afraid its still birdies perch for the best cakes but will definately go here again. thankyou for the pleasant eat
This is a small welcoming café right by York Minster (with great views of its west front if you get a table by the window). The décor is warm and cheerful – lots of orange and green make it look bit like a Mexican restaurant, but the theme in fact is, as the name suggests, musical – a piano by the entrance displays leaflets, there are various other instruments dotted around, and sheet music lines some of the walls.The menu has lots of good lunch choices, e.g. various sandwiches and salads, jacket potatoes etc. Daily specials include soup of the day, sandwich ditto, frittata and so on.Both of us ate that day’s frittata special – goats cheese, potato, artichoke hearts and rosemary. These were served with salads (green leaves, potato salad and some fresh fruit). I had a refreshing ginger and lemongrass sparkling water, my companion still water, and we shared a pot of earl grey tea afterwards. Despite being a busy lunch time there was no pressure to leave so we had time to relax over the latter. The bill was a reasonable for two
Cafe Concerto is trying to be that which York severally lacks; a Parisian style cafe with a chic menu and surrounds. With a view of the Minster and offset from one of the most picturesque streets in york it has location on its side. However, it is pricey ! And if you are wanting a course lunch dinner, well i would go elsewhere as you can find nicer for less. Buuuuuuuut where the Concerto shines is with its desserts. The carrot cake is heaven and portions are HUGE! go empty then you can re-fuel for more more more! They also offer a tempting duet of cakes, where you can have smaller slices from tempting sweets if you can't make your mind up! Another delight is their sticky toffee pud. Hit this place at the right time on a Sunday and as all desserts are 'homemade' daily there comes an o'clock when they are keen to serve all that they have made for the day to avoid throwing any away. It is now that portion sizes increase some more! :-DA time to avoid is Sunday early afternoon then the domain of young families with more than one excitable child running about the place the cafe gets busy super quick and very noisy. So for a relaxing brunch hit later afternoon and take refuge behind an over-sized cappuccino mug (v. large) and fabulous slice(s) of something sweet. Then roll outside to admire the views and take a tour of the walls. Sunday's really don't get better than this
The Banoffee pie is absolutely incredible! The service is friendly and fast, I highly recommend it!
