About Us

Arguably one of York's best restaurants, The Blue Bicycle serves award winning quality food in a relaxed atmosphere, with the fresh fish dishes, homemade desserts and fine wine list particularly recommended. Enjoy a pre-dinner drink overlooking the river Foss, reflecting on the bygone era of impropriety (downstairs was formerly a brothel), while the upstairs dining area exudes warmth and a busy atmosphere, with an eclectic range of tables and chairs.

    I went to the blue bicycle for my birthday meal, the service was poor staff were messing around and we had to keep asking for things all the time. The food was overpriced for what it was, and both starter and main course was luke warm. I will NOT be back this restaurant needs to improve on all aspects of it before it charges you a fortune.

    The Blue Bicycle, steeped in yorkshire esque tradition. Or so the story goes. When i first moved to york (four years ago), this was 'the' restaurant for quality fine dining. Today, a different tale. My last visit was met by a protest line , complete with placards against the restaurant serving fois grois. Which did add colour to the experience. The food? Well it was 'ok', but lacked inspiration, was served in a lack lustre manner, and with little attention to detail, such as check backs, clean cutlery, and re-filling of wine glasses. All of which we had to do for ourselves. On my last (and no doubt final) visit, dessert came cold. What's so wrong with that? Well it was frozen in the centre, and had clearly not been 'freshly prepared', or baked in the same week, let alone the same day. We sent this back. No amendment was made to the bill though. Blue Bicycle, where you once had charm (what could be more charming than a blue bike?), you appear now more covered in rust. Why two stars? One for the name, and one as for 'hope' in the future that the restaurant will 're-oil' and get back on track...Oh and did i mention, expensive. Far better restaurants located in the same street, and offer better value for money.

    Rushed, expensive meal

    Although we visited midweek the restaurant filled up quickly and by the time we left was packed to the rafters. Food was fine, but nothing mindblowing. Considering the prices I was expecting something a bit more special. For what it is I think it is over priced. The pub opposite where I live provides better food for a more reasonable price. We were in and out of the place within 45 min after eating 2 courses. I felt they were trying to get us out of there! I like to take time with each course and don't appreciate the next course being brought to the table at the same time the previous course plates are being taken away. Didn't also like the fact they automatically added service to the bill. This is a huge bugbear of mine.

    Arguably..?

    A restaurant with a good web page (for a change). 'Arguably the best..' states the pr puff - well arguably I'm the best looking hunk in the city. So to cut to the chase - yes apparently there was a highly regarded chef there some years ago - hence awards - but things change. So rather pretentious and dated fodder that is too costly for what is served up. You feel the Gordon Ramsey is about jump out and sort the place out!
