Advance booking is sensible for evening and weekend tables, while walk-ins are welcomed when space allows.

The Brasserie is a modern British dining room rooted in Yorkshire produce and hospitality. Set within a grand Georgian hotel setting, it combines a traditional sense of place with seasonal cooking and a polished but approachable style. The menu focuses on fresh ingredients from the region, with dishes prepared and presented to suit relaxed meals as well as more considered occasions.

Dining is available across several parts of the day. Breakfast includes a full Yorkshire breakfast alongside lighter continental choices, making the restaurant suitable for both leisurely mornings and a more substantial start to the day. Later service is centred on seasonal modern British food, with options for lunch, dinner and special celebrations. A set-menu format provides a structured choice for an evening meal, while the à la carte menu allows for a broader selection.

The Brasserie also has a more informal side. The bar and beer garden offer casual dining with small plates, burgers and wood-fired pizzas, alongside drinks ranging from classic cocktails to spirits and beer. Outdoor areas include a terrace and beer garden, with igloo-style spaces and a Bothy available for booked occasions. These spaces add flexibility for relaxed gatherings, drinks or informal food in a less formal setting.

With its combination of regional produce, Georgian character and varied dining formats, The Brasserie suits couples planning an intimate meal, families looking for a straightforward restaurant setting, and groups arranging a celebration. Private dining and event options extend the venue beyond standard table service. The atmosphere can therefore move from a calm breakfast or carefully paced dinner to a more social gathering in the bar or outdoor areas.

The Brasserie is based on Bootham in Clifton, just outside York city centre. Its Yorkshire-led approach gives the menu a clear local identity, while the choice of dining spaces makes it suitable for different occasions throughout the day. Advance reservations are particularly sensible for evening and weekend visits.
