    We found this was a great place for our Sunday lunch on our visit to York. The service was excellent, the four of us all enjoyed our meals and the ambience was quiet and relaxed. We even had a view of the Cathedral from our table by a window. We would definitely dine here again.

    Excellent food and very good service, though at the pricier end of the spectrum for York. It’s a nice atmosphere, although the acoustics make it a bit ‘clattery’. A stunning location!

    York Minster Refectory: fantastic food and friendly service. My wife and I had the 7 course taster menu, every course was delicious and some combinations which we've never seen before which worked perfectly. Cauliflower fritter, parsnip veloutte, smoked haddock, bacon loin, pineapple cream, black treacle tart, coffee and sweet treats. We will definitely be back.

    A beautiful building with a warm atmosphere. The service was attentive but the food was a little underwhelming. I was really excited to visit, but felt the food wasn’t quite as I’d expected.

    As usual we really enjoyed our visit to the Minster Refectory . The service by Marcus and team was excellent, friendly and very professional. We had the 3 course Sunday offer, which was delicious. The beef comes pink, which we were advised of on ordering, , and was very tender, plus there was a good selection of vegetables. Will definitely be returning.
