AMAZING! Great food, wonderful atmosphere, friendly and superbly knowledgeable about dietary requirements! Two coeliac diners!
Our server, Tanya, was knowledgeable, friendly, pleasantly interactive and catered superbly to our two coeliac diners as well as accommodating a small appetite of our elderly dad.
The food was superb, peppercorn sauce on the GF steak and the sauce with the seabass are off the scale. The smash burger went down a treat and the addition of the Baileys to the ice cream was quite luxurious!
Wish there was one closer but will definitely be back!
The decor and ambiance suited us well and, with one partially deaf diner, the atmosphere was perfect.
What can I say, You've not visited York until you have been to Drakes Fish n Chips Restaurant in the heart of the Old town, this small shop and sit down restaurant is a must for any visitor to the City. the menu is rather good and caters for Gluten options. although a little crowed in the seating areas to the rear it works with its warm and friendly atmosphere.
My only wish is I would like to see them knock through into another room to make more space and cater for those with disability issues .
Good vegetarian and gluten-free options made this a better choice than some of the nearby restaurants. The food was good, the waiting staff were terrific, one dish was late because it had been accidentally missed but the cost was taken off the bill and didn't ruin our experience in the slightest. Had a great time, would visit again.
If you are gluten free you HAVE to come here. the cakes are phenomenal. I don’t know about anyone else but I have this thing where I have to buy gf dessert to try when I find it because it’s rare to find good desserts and oh my gosh! I tried the coffee cake and the blackberry orange cake and WOW! literally fantastic - they had two more cake options I didn’t get but would have. I just got it to take it away but seems like a lovely place. great service too plus great pricing.
can’t believe how flavourful they made just chicken and rice! high praise for vegetable gyoza from my friend too and it was great to see lots of gluten free options available! definitely would come again, the courtyard seating is lovely in the sun and the staff were friendly.

You have been amazing!
Ate here yesterday afternoon. I am dairy and gluten free, which can cause a problem. Not here.. the food and service were excellent. The dairy and gluten free cheesecake was out of this world. Will definitely visit again when in York.
We organized a Christmas dinner at Ceasars with my students, an international group from different countries, over the weekend, and it was absolutely fantastic! Although the restaurant was quite busy, and the staff took great care of us.
Among my students, there were those with gluten-free and vegan dietary requirements, and every single order was prepared and served with such care, precision, and efficiency. I want to extend my special thanks to the staff for their outstanding service despite the crowd.
The food was simply amazing! Everyone was delighted. Ceasars is undoubtedly the go-to place in York for delicious pizza and pasta varieties. And the homemade tiramisu? Absolutely perfect!
Ceasars will definitely be our first choice for future events.
Thank you!
Has a separate gluten free menu with items clearly labelled as being on set menu. Good set up in this regard. I really enjoyed my meal, but found the servings somewhat inconsistent. 3 of us had the beef rump, and all were different sizes and cooked differently, meaning some of my party did not enjoy their meals as much. Good cocktails and starters/desserts were nice. Waiting staff very accommodating.
Had afternoon tea, two versions one for me and a gluten free version for my other half, the food was very good apart from the gluten free scone, but they replaced it with an alternative option
Lovely restaurant with delicious food. We were 2 adults and a toddler and had dinner on a Sarurday early evening. Restaurant was busy but not fully occupied, although we had a booking. Staff were very friendly and accomodating, specially with gluten free options for our child. Food was fantastic and although we didn't go for dessert (as we ended up quite full) the cake display looked appetizing. I would definitely recomend!!

Sam was a brilliant waitress who accommodated for my gluten and dairy intolerance. The food was fresh and delicious. Lovely calm atmosphere. I have travelled to Vietnam and the food was authentic, Would come here again.

Was a really great wagamama’s and the food was really delicious and fresh! Our server Mike was really kind and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed- especially as i’m gluten free :)
Love Burgsy's! Our go to for amazing Burgers! Great service, intimate dining. GLUTEN FREE BUNS!! (That taste so good!) I promise you will love it! (Frequent visitor to York from down south)
absolutely sensational! Got off the train after an extremely long day and headed over for a snack, extremely friendly welcome 🤗 could do everything on the menu with a gluten free version and their garlic sauce is to DIE FOR!

I rarely write negative reviews, but
From the moment the food arrived, it was clear that flavor was not a priority. Everything we ordered—from the mushroom starter to the main course—was under-seasoned, lacking any real depth or character. The ingredients tasted like they’d come straight from a freezer and hadn’t been properly introduced to a spice rack. Even the simplest dishes, like the pasta, managed to be both overcooked and underwhelming.
Service was polite but indifferent, which mirrored the food: functional, but with no real warmth or passion.
They do offer a gluten-free menu, which might seem like a plus—unfortunately, it’s not one I’d recommend. The gluten-free options were just as bland as everything else, with no creativity or attention to texture or flavor.
The drinks were the best part of the experience but still nothing to write home about
With so many great dining options available, I can’t see myself returning. It’s one thing to serve simple food—it’s another to serve food that’s simply dull.
Food was fantastic. Deep and original flavours to each dish. The dozas were light a fluffy the fossgate beef a 'must try' starter. My number one Indian restaurant from now on. Also had a very nice gluten free beer called maharaja which was light and refreshing the perfect accompanyment. The service was helpful and prompt.
BEST BREAKFAST EVER! I am gluten free and vegetarian which is really difficult to cater for usually but Partisan absolutely smashed it! I had the most delicious breakfast full of flavour and bought a cake (from a choice of three GF options) on my way out! 😍 they also accommodated our booking for a group of 9 which was ideal!
Pleasant setting, if a little bit disjointed in terms of the decor. The food is good, but felt over fancy, like tapas that was trying to hard to be posh.
They do gluten free and have the items containing gluten marked. They don't have the items fried in the same fryer as gluten containing items marked on either the menu or the allergen listing on the web version of the menu with allergen filtering. The staff are very good and knowledgeable, but you will have to get more details if you are coeliac.
The staff are very good and attentive.

Lovely experience as always at Pizza Express on Museum Street. Food was fast to arrive and our waitress was super friendly and helpful throughout. As a Coeliac UK accredited restaurant, I always feel safe eating here. Our waitress even went to double check that the garlic butter was still gluten free as the gf label was no longer on the menu for this item. There is also 25% student discount available 6 days a week which is a fantastic offering.
Food delicious as usual. Will be back soon!
Not allergen friendly. The gluten free and dairy free food is not gluten or dairy free. My friend had a coeliac reaction and another had an anaphylactic shock.
Staff were great, accommodated a party of 6, always busy and buzzing. They accommodate gluten free which is great (bake their own bread) - no hash browns unfortunately which is a little strange for a classic brunch spot. Don't expect anything flash, just good honest grub.
Great for coeliacs! They have lots of gluten free options available and even though they say they can’t guarantee no cross contamination, I am very sensitive and had no reaction.
Absolutely would recommend for anyone who is gluten free.
The guy put depeche mode - just can’t get enough on the duke box. My son was wearing his Celtic top! Fantastic service 💚🍀🤍 HH!
I have coeliac disease, I feel great no reaction to this food.
Won’t answer the phone at all, just hang up on us 10 times. We ordered a take away and can’t eat anchovies or cows cheese so we rang to edit the order and no one answered. Customer services can’t ring through for you and the app does not allow you to customise your order unless it’s ’vegan Or gluten free’. Very disappointing. We’re loyal customers and we’re just giving up on pizza express now as it’s such a ballache place to order in or from if you can’t eat certain foods … we’ve now spent over £40 on an order we can’t eat (and can’t cancel) because their website advises contacting the branch you order from after an order is placed and not before! Cheers guys !
Gluten free options.
Was happy for the options as I am gluten intolerant. The food was ok.
I think the service outshone the food. Ruby was a gem (pun intended) she made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. She was very attentive.
Would recommend.
Second time having an amazing afternoon tea delivered from Love to eat. The gluten free option is just as delicious and so much effort to give a variety of bread and cakes which is rare!
Lovely people to deal with , highly recommend
Incredible food, amazing staff and great atmosphere! I'm a Londoner and pretty spoilt with great vegan food but this was by far the best I've ever had! Also a gluten free menu 🙏 My partner who's a meat eater also loved it! Also fantastic wine! 10/10
We came here for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. It was our first visit and it was amazing! The food was so yummy, lovely presentation and definitely worth the money. The best dauphinoise potatoes we have ever had!
I’m gluten free, and they were so accommodating and helpful! And I felt safe to eat which is always nice :)
Beautiful terrace overlooking the river which was a great spot for an excellent roast on a Sunday. First gluten free yorkshire pudding our coeliac has ever had as well!

Great tasty food. Love that they have a separate gluten free menu. Connor who served us was professional & friendly. Had a lovely fun night with friends. Thank you.
Service was quick and polite but they advertise as caters for gluten free but what this really meant was a menu the same as the normal one but with almost everything crossed of as not gluten free, leaving a couple of cakes and a fruit salad.
Suited all our party, nut allergies, gluten intolerances, meat eaters and veggie preference. Sweets looked nice too but I didn't have room - too stuffed
An overall disappointing afternoon tea experience for a gluten-free person.
-Supermarket bought cakes (clearly from Sainsbury's) on gluten free afternoon tea plate.
- 'cheese parcel alternative' for me was just a piece of white toast and cheese, not an equal alternative.
-£5 extra for the pleasure of a GF option which as noted, felt like poor effort and poor quality
Unfortunately Plush under delivered and over charged for what I got here.
Positives: Coffee and scone were good and clearly homemade
Summary: please make better gluten free options and don't buy supermarket cakes or biscuits for the afternoon tea, it is unfair to charge extra for this lack of service.
This place did not disappoint! Im a big fan of BBQ food, so it's great to find a place that does it right! They even cater for coeliacs, which is brilliant! The BBQ pulled pork tasted amazing and the shake on the chips is delicious. I will be going back to try the trays, im looking forward to the ribs and wings. I highly recommend going here to sample some amazing BBQ food!
The service was wonderful, everyone was so helpful and kind! The food was absolutely delicious - I’ve been 5 or 6 times to Tah Tien and it’s been amazing each time! They’ve catered to my gluten free requests as well :)
Really nice food, lovely friendly service, room was a bit cool but we warmed up when the belly pork vindaloo came. Great menu choices, lots of veggie and vegan and gluten free options, very flavoursome and tasty. Reasonable prices, loads of food and a few drinks was less than 50 for us tonight. Recommended.
