Housed in a Georgian building in the heart of York, 31 Castlegate is a modern European restaurant run by chef patron Nick Julius. Spread over two floors the restaurant interior is tastefully decorated, retaining all its original features like the wooden floors and exposed beams. The ground floor offers private dining for up to 24 guests and the main restaurant offers lunch, early dining and dinner menus all created using the finest local and seasonal produce. All dietary requirements are well catered for, especially coeliacs. 31 Castlegate is open from 10am for an upmarket breakfast and lunch which is an informal affair with a menu offering gastro pub favourites like homemade burgers, fish and hand cut chips, steak and gourmet sandwiches. In the evening the mood changes and things step up a gear or two. On goes the linen, candles and fine stemware and cutlery anticipating the fine dining to come. Enjoy homemade breads, starters such as Tian of hot oak smoked salmon and white crab meat with lemon crème fraiche and chilled gazpacho or Carpaccio of “Holme Farm†venison with pickled girolles, rocket salad and parmesan shavings. There is a ‘Grill' menu offering meats and sauces. Other A la Carte mains include Slow roast free-range belly pork cooked in Magners cider, mash potato, green beans and Pan roast Yorkshire free range duck breast with a potato and spring onion cake, spinach, roasted shallots and port jus. Seasonal desserts offer mouth watering dishes such as Assiette of Yorkshire rhubarb-Rhubarb crème brulee, rhubarb crumble, Rhubarb compote and rhubarb sorbet.
