Delicious food and nice decor inside. It was a little pricey but the food was worth it I thought.

I found the Blue Bicycle to be distinctive but not necessarily in the most positive way. The wine list was adequate with a number of Languedocian wines from Southern France. For a starter i had the fried baby rabbit, a delicate dish with a somewhat arid aftertaste, the bitter sauce was not appropriately in tune with the nature of the dish.
For the main course i had the foie gras, unusual as a main, however, it was presented reasonably well, though the technique required to cook such a dish is not particularly challenging.
The price of these two dishes was well within my range, and the service was curt yet not impolite. With so many restaurants in York i think i will be going elsewhere in future.

I visited for the first time, 4 weeks ago with a group of eight. We had a warm welcome, and the table was of a comfortable size. The food was good but pricey the service was rigid all nice girls but reading from a script, nothing natural, struggled to smile. As a party we enjoyed ourselves and went home with a smile.

Well known for a very long time in York, it was one of the first restaurants to provide high quality, consistently good food. The menu is largely fish, so if you're not a fan, there is not a lot of choice.
Food quality is excellent and the food is very good. However, I don't think that the food was as good as the cost. A good cook at home could probably produce similar results. I must mention that the portions are huge, and even the largest of appetites will be more than satisfied. The langoustines were particularly delicious. There are more imaginative, creative menus in York. Good food, but not worth the huge bill at the end.

Had a really nice time here for a fathers day sunday lunch.
Good table with a view of the bridge and Cliffords Tower.
Food quality is good and the portions (I had fish stew) very filling.
