Blue Bicycle Review

One of York's best restaurants is in a building that once served as a brothel. Downstairs are intimate walled booths, and at street level is a lively room lighted with candles. The menu changes with the seasons and concentrates on local beef and seafood. Typical dishes include pan-seared scallops with horseradish puree, seared sea bass with truffle-crushed potatoes, or grilled beef sirloin with pink peppercorn mash. The wine list is impressive, and the service couldn't be friendlier. The restaurant has launched a small guesthouse—a handful of luxury rooms in a mews nearby—called Blue Rooms.
