About 31 Castlegate Restaurant

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.

I recently took a friend to dinner here and we had a superb ala carte meal. I had heard good things and seen a few of the reviews on here before we went and I must say it was nigh on perfect from start to finish. The quality of the food was shown off with expert cookery and the service was attentive and interested. Compliments to all involved at this fine establishment.

We booked a table for 9pm and were told that we had to be out of there as they lock the doors at 10.30pm as this is their strict policy , this was saturday night !!!! Needless to say we cancelled this as we did not want to be rushed .

What a find. Decided to stroll round York then have a meal for a change. Gave up on the stroll, too cold, but what we found at number 31 more than made up for it, it was a delight., the ambience the food and the staff were all first class. We enjoyed every mouthfull on our 51st wedding anniversary. We will be returning.

Have eaten here twice in the last month. There is excellent choice and the food is good quality and delicious. Friendly staff and nice relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. The set menus are really good value.

myself and 5 friends ate at 31 Castlegate this week, as it had been my birthday, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the ambience, the food was excellent and the service was impeccable. A good night was had by all and we will certainly be eating there again

The main reason for visiting this restaurant, to celebrate my parents' anniversary, was the fact that they advertise that they specialise in coelic-gluten free and food intolerances. What a let down, the soup thankfully was gluten free but there was no gluten free bread to accompany it. When we enquired why we were told by the waiter that they one got about one gluten free customer in per month so it wasn't worth having any in!! How easy is it to keep a loaf in the freezer? The specialism did not run to gluten free bread crumbs of course so the fish cakes weren't able to be provided for their gluten free customers. We were given bread to dip in oil and the alternative for their gluten free customers was olives, which not everyone likes. Olives were also provided with the soup as a substitute for the bread. The waiter was not very customer friendly when we arrived but he did warm up during the evening. The waitress made up for him though as she was very accommodating. The food was good but nothing special and the choice for vegetarians, of which there were two in our party was very limited.
