Last minute trip booked to York for tomorrow and need to find a decent restaurant. Had a look at the usual places such as trip advisor but any first hand experience much appreciated.
 
No specific dietary requirements although the wife is pregnant so she is avoiding seafood and any offal etc but the majority of places are fine for her with the odd tweak here and there.

Will check out the links thanks.
 
Thanks for the other suggestions will check them all out and try and get somewhere booked this afternoon.
 
Thanks for the recommendations guys, a lot of places were fully booked but managed to get a table at ate O clock.

Blind Swine was booked fully until July!
 
We are heading down tomorrow morning and coming back on Sunday, possibly with a trip to that designer outlet place if we dont find anything better to do on the Sunday.

I was hoping to catch lunch somewhere that was showing the Newcastle match at 12.45 but its going to touch and go depending on the wifes hormones whether I can pull it off haha

Edit - a friend mentioned we should head to someones Patisserie for a cake and a coffee?
 
Patisserie Valerie! Thats the one! They suggested it was a better alernate to Bettys which gets really busy.

We weren't planning on doing the touristy things, we've been a few times and did them then so was just planning on having a walk around and chill out a bit really.
 
Can you suggest somewhere wife friendly that will be showing the football tomorrow that will do a half decent lunch (to try and keep her happy haha)
 
We had a great time thanks and thoroughly enjoyed Ate O Clock, although I was pretty nervy when I walked past it earlier in the day as it looks like your bargain basement Italian from the outside if I'm being honest!

We went for a coffee and a cake at Patisseie Valerie and I wasn't hugely impressed although there was a substantially smaller cue than Bettys and it was freezing outside.

We went to a great pub down on the waterfront just down the steps by the Slug and Lettuce that had a chart on the wall of where it gets flooded to! I bet they have difficulty getting insurance for that place!

Went to McArthur Glen Designer Outlet on the Sunday and it was greatly imporved from when I was there a few years back! Its on the agenda for the summer once the baby is here and the missus doesnt have a bump as she couldnt spend "much" apparently....

Thanks again for all the advice and recommendations
