Dining

The Rise Restaurant Terrace & Bar, Legacy, The 1906 Bar and The Courtyard, The Grand York will tantalize your taste buds from morning breakfast until nightcap.

The Grand York Dining

The Rise Restaurant, Terrace & Bar – Head to this sociable spot with an open kitchen at breakfast for classic buffet choices and regional à la carte options including Whitby kippers. It’s an all-day venue, with light lunches and tempting three-course dinners, plus the heated garden terrace means eating alfresco is feasible year-round — a rarity in Yorkshire. There’s a junior menu for main meals, as well as a mini-version of the indulgent afternoon tea.

1906 Bar – Velvet, leather, and marble make a plush backdrop to generous measures from the extensive whiskey collection, classic cocktails, local ales, and wines by the glass. Enjoy!

Legacy - Legacy offers a modern British and Yorkshire-inspired menu alongside an exceptional wine list, served in an iconic setting. The restaurant boasts innovative cuisine and interiors with locality, sustainability, and great northern hospitality at its core. Head Chef, Ahmed Abdalla, has created a menu, which is dedicated to local provenance and showcases classic Yorkshire produce with a modern twist. Sommelier, Derek Scaife, has carefully chosen wine pairing options to perfectly complement each dish on the tasting menu, allowing guests to experience the maximum impact of both the food and the wine.

Activities at The Grand York

Activities at The Grand York

Live the “sweet life” at this pampering oasis in the heart of the city. Make time for a lavish version of afternoon tea — alongside the classic version, available with Champagne, there is a Hendrick’s Gin Tipsy G & Tea, a fantastical Mad Hatter’s version of the English pastime. The Temple spa, housed in the atmospheric former vaults, has a swimming pool, whirlpool, and steam room, plus a range of treatments from facials to options specifically for men or mothers-to-be. The gym, which has state-of-the-art Cybex equipment, can offer personal training sessions.

Just outside the hotel doors wait the delights of historic York, with its narrow streets surrounded by medieval walls. Gothic York Minster is a striking beauty, and to bring the city’s past — both ancient and more modern — to life, visit both the Jorvik Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum.

Location

The Grand York has one of the best locations in York, England, less than a five-minute walk from York Station, and just 10 minutes to the Minster and main shopping streets. The medieval walls and the River Ouse are also nearby.
