Melton's

Still an old charmer after more than two decades, Melton's remains York's most likeable restaurant. Michael Hjort’s food is original, fairly priced & always served with a smile. Menus change regularly, but typical offerings might include crab cakes with leeks & herbs or ham hock terrine with homemade piccalilli before Pickering trout with Jerusalem artichokes, almonds, capers & lemons or duo of pork with ginger, pak choy & pease pudding. An excellent British & Irish cheeseboard is always at hand, & warm Yorkshire parkin with toffee crunch ice cream stands out among the list of desserts. Modestly marked-up wines carry on the friendly pricing approach.
