As the name of this welcoming no-waste restaurant on York’s bustling Micklegate suggests, produce sourced from the sea and forest reigns supreme here. Recently recognised in the Michelin Guide for its Commitment to Sustainable Gastronomy, Fish & Forest is the brainchild of self-taught chef and owner Stephen Andrews, who specialises in cooking seasonal and sustainable fish, meat and forest foods, including wild or ethically-farmed fish and locally sourced game which he butches in-house.

Menus change regularly, delivered on a chalk board, and dishes are simple but creative and presented like beautiful works of art. Simple sounding dishes like Coley with Green Peppercorn, Scallops with Kimchi & Tomato and Wild Game Parfait are so much more than the sum of their parts, delivered with flair and a glorious balance of flavour and texture.

Vegetarians and vegans will also find interesting vegetable-led dishes on the menu, such as Glazed Cauliflower or Tomato Tartare. As a neighbourhood bistro, the team offer a genuinely warm welcome – it’s the kind of place you really want to linger in for an extra glass from the exquisite wine list.
