What Rhiannon likes about Bennett's Cafe & Bistro:
We booked for an 80th birthday dinner and we were not disappointed. We were very well looked after (especially the birthday girl who was given complementary fizz) and the food was wonderful. I liked the small but varied menu which suited all tastes. The food was beautifully cooked and served. The view is amazing and the prices very reasonable. I would certainly go there again when I am visiting York. View all feedback.

The bistro hasn't been open in the evening since November which I did make open table aware of as they kept asking me to confirm my booking

Amazing food and attentive, quiet staff. The meal was superb and the reasonably-priced wine paired perfectly with it.
