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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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!
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.
14th December York really really busy, we dropped in on the off chance, no reservation the restaurant was really busy, the staff were amazing against all the odds found us a table ,
The menu was amazing, vegetarian, pescatarian gluten free and vegan, all our requirements were met in full , the team were attentive informative but not intrusive.
Nothing was a problem.the food was full of flavour and the best fresh ingredients.
We would highly recommend this restaurant for its atmosphere it’s menu and it’s staff and the costs are on point
We will be back
Thankyou

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.
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 :)
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.
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!
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
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.
The best pad Thai I’ve ever had! Love that they have a gluten free menu and even gluten free IPA available. Wonderful atmosphere and even better food! Highly recommend!
The pizzas were ENORMOUS and delicious, well worth the trip we've been meaning to do for ages! Our table was in the basement which wasn't as nice as main restaurant but we were just glad to be there. Dog friendly & also catered (unofficially) for my gluten-intolerant friend with a little side bowl of roast veggies
Got booked in to the last available table at 8pm Saturday night. I am coeliac and the owner/chef went through the full menu telling me what she can adapt for my needs. I was served pretty much everything I wanted catered to my needs. Throughout the meal snacks/gluten free treats were brought out for me on the house. Great experience the bbq was very fun for the table to use. Will definitely be going back and recommending to others!
A fantastic experience! The service is excellent, with happy staff who take time to talk you through the dishes and check you are happy with the flavours and spices.
Portions are generous and the food is delicious.
It has a good range of gluten free options and allergens are well marked.
Really delicious food and good size portions, and they were super helpful with my dietary requirements (no gluten, dairy or egg). Great service, plus did us off menu mocktails.
Came for an early dinner on Sunday night. We were one of a few couples inside but the restaurant was beautifully decorated and the staff were attentive. Generous portions and the Greek salad and souvlaki were delicious. Menu stated vegetarian and gluten free options clearly
