"Melton’s is perfect for any special occasion or a romantic date night with the other half. Melton’s menu offers an immaculate collection of tasty local and international dishes using only fresh regional produce, all perfected presented. Mix that with the friendly, warm service and it’s easy to see why this charming restaurant has remained a local favourite over the years."

"When to go: When you want good quality, classic ingredients, cooked to perfection. What to have: The east coast cod, with Jerusalem artichokes, truffle and hazelnut pesto and coastal herbs is light, fresh and decadent all at once. Open for over 30 years, Melton’s is somewhat of a York institution."

"Run by chef Michael Hjort and wife Lucy, Melton’s is an intimate restaurant serving high-end European food. Hjort trained with the Rouxs, so his cooking is refined yet down-to-earth. If you get menu panic when faced with too many delish options, go for the five-course tasting menu."
