Oscar's Bar and Bistro

Oscars Wine Bar and Bistro is an incredibly well known venue for the citizens of York and can be found just off little stonegate. It's well heated Mediterranean alfresco dining area, coupled with its romantic secluded indoor dining areas make this a perfect location for a romantic meal or just some food with friends.

The food always arrives perfectly cooked and in generous portions, starters alone can keep most people going for a while, with a platter of nachos usually being enough to feed three or four people with ease. The main courses are delicious, they follow the Mediterranean / Mexican themes with sea food salads and tapas. For the more traditional of those among you however there is a fine choice of burgers, particularly the Oscars special. The Oscar's Special is a monstrously towering burger, if you manage to eat this then you have my congratulations as even my finely honed Yorkshire stomach has trouble demolishing this beauty of a burger.

The Restaurant not only has a friendly summery atmosphere, even in the midst of winter, but the staff are absolutely focused on ensuring you are enjoying your meal. They will regularly check to see that your condiments tray is full and that you are enjoying your food.

The drinks in Oscars can be fairly expensive, at around £3 a bottle. The food varies around £6-£12 but for teh generous portions you receive this price seems more than fair.

Unfortunately there is little accommodation for the disabled in Oscar's, this is due more to the age of the building than any lock of attempting to cater for them.

I have never left Oscar's in discontent before, I can safely say that this is one of the best restaurants in York and strongly suggest that you wander down to sample some of their delicious meals.
