Restaurant Name: Lendal Cellars
In what used to be the Lord Mayor's wine-cellar, with tables in the brick tunnels. There's an outdoor seating area (partially roofed) with, weirdly, a pool table under one roofed bit. The food is ok (pub-standard, not particularly cheap, and not as good as it was years ago), the beer is well-kept (there's usually a good choice of guest ales) and its well-located (just off Lendal). Often very busy though: it's popular with students. Get a table (and table number) before ordering food from the bar.

The Old White Swan: Pub food.......

Restaurant Name: The Old White Swan
The Old White Swan is on Goodramgate, a collection of what was originally nine buildings, some dating from the 16th century. In these buildings were once a variety of businesses: a poultry market, a barber, a pig-sty............but now it's all one pub. There's a properly covered and well-sheltered courtyard with tables, and small, comfortable rooms inside. The beer is good (a variety of real ales and tap lagers), and the food is reasonably-priced standard pub fare: hot and cold sandwiches, jacket potatoes, lasagne etc. All perfectly acceptable fillers, though nothing stunning. Service is pleasant and (when I have visited) speedy. The pub is, of course, supposed to be haunted. Look out for the original brick four-stepped mounting-block in the courtyard (see photo).

La Place Verte: Belgian!

Restaurant Name: La Place Verte
I was tipped off about this place by locals: it's a very well-kept secret! The couple who run this tiny cafe in a wonderful building by Skeldergate Bridge met in La Place Verte in Antwerp, hence its name. Their menu includes a variety of superb Belgian-style waffles and pancakes, as well as many types of tea. These include some really unusual teabags which contain flowers which 'bloom' in your glass when hot water is added! They have a good variety of bottled beers too. And as for the hot chocolate: you get the hot milk, and the chocolate drops or shavings, and the cream, and make up your own! Milk, plain or white: absolutely delicious! See the other photo..... ......and they sell speciality Belgian chocolates too! Well worth seeking out, but make sure you don't tell everyone otherwise I will get into trouble!
