Gourmet Burger Kitchen

The Gourmet Burger Kitchen is a relatively new restaurant that has opened up on Lendal Street in York. It is a couple of seconds away from the highly popular museum gardens right in York City Centre.

I have to say the Gourmet Burger Kitchen serves fantastic food, and while it does not come with the usual selection of chips or salad the burgers themselves are more than enough for the most ravenous of appetites. Piled high these heavily flavoured jucy beef burgers were a sight for sore eyes, stacked high this was one of the few times I have had to get the knife and fork out to eat the towering burger. If meat isn't to your palette there are several Vegitarian burgers including a fantastic mushroom burger!

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting York and looking for a relaxed but rather large lunch.

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.
