An iconic setting at the heart of York’s confectionery history, a brilliantly inventive and unique menu, an insightfully redesigned restaurant (put together by BBC star Banjo Beale no less!), and a warm team of staff — The Old Liquor Store has everything needed to make it as a genuine stand-out option in York’s packed dining scene.
Nestled in one of the old Terry’s chocolate factory buildings just off Bishopthorpe Road, the Italian-inspired deli and restaurant is the perfect complement to one of York’s most exciting up-and-coming areas. We can’t think of many better places to spend an evening under the sun this summer.
The Old Liquor Store serve food in a real Mediterranean manner, with small plate after small plate of fantastic food. It’s a great way to appreciate the incredible range their menu offers to diners. Despite starting out with an explosive burrata with watermelon and vermicelli pastry, we quickly moved on to an indulgent hot honey, parmesan, and chilli bun with ricotta. Next it was the succulent balsamic bbq chicken wings and a pizzetta. Despite their difference, each dish that emerged from the kitchen managed to perfectly complement the last.
The standout was the mackerel fillet. The dressing was so refreshing, and the fish so delicately cooked, that even though I was sat over 30-miles from the nearest coastline, I felt myself transported to any of my favourite memories eating fish in a little seaside town with a sea breeze running through my hair.
Whether it’s for the fantastic service, delicious food, or ideal location, your Summer in York won’t be complete without at least one trip to The Old Liquor Store. Call up on 01904 950 147 or visit www.theoldliquorstore.co.uk to get booked in.
