Small plates with fantastic flavors and textures! We had crispy pork, duck liver mousse, probably the best beets I've ever had, a raw scallop pizza, grilled octopus and lamb carpaccio. I don't think you could go wrong with any selection. We sat at the chef's bar and were impressed with how many cooks they had and how seamlessly everything was plated. The wine list was exquisite too. If you are in York, book a table at Skosh.
I stopped by this small lovely place for the end of my visit in York and it was an amazing place.
We didn't have enough time to enjoy all the dishes so we tried 5 of them- fried califower, fried chicken, spicy beef tartar, chargegrilled Octopus and lamb belly.
Fried califower- it's crispy outside but so tender inside with all the amazing spices.
Fried chicken- it might be the most plain dish of these 5 but was pretty tender enough.
Spicy beefy tartar- my favorite one from the 5. It's just so amazing with fresh beef and tasty sauce.
Chargedgrilled octopus- it's a lit small compare to the price but the octopus was really tender.
The lamb belly- it's tender and juicy. The only part I didn't like it that much was I still can taste the stinky part from the lamb.
The service was great and the interior was cozy and nice. I really like this place and will come back if I am going to York again!
Amazing inventive food, warm service, highly recommend iI will definitely be back if I get to York again. Small place so be sure to make reservations.
Went here on our first night visiting York. Very inventive, modern tapas with a bit of an Asian flair. The food was all quite flavorful. Very friendly service with good recommendations for both wine and food. I might recommend reservations as there was limited availability when we dropped in on late Sunday afternoon.
Heaven on plates. So much choice of yummy delights. Blown away by the menu, it is very tempting to over order. Good advice from the waitress was to order 6-7 savoury items. Favourite dishes were the hen's egg, trout, broccoli, and especially the scallop (ordered twice!).
Wine list is incredibly reasonable, and plenty of half bottles.
Managed to squeeze in a desert of 🍦
Recommend reserving in advance, very busy on Weds lunchtime. We had seats in the new area on rhs of kitchen and had great views of the chefs.
Highly recommend 👌
The most remarkable meal we have had in a long time. From the minute we arrived to the minute we left the experience was magnificent. The wait staff were world class, totally knew their product and extremely attentive. Sitting at the open kitchen (which is a must btw) was pure theatre. The chefs were so well organised, calm and so very knowledgeable. A brilliant experience and would DEFINITELY recommend!
I visited in June 2023
Skosh is a place I had been eager to visit for a long time. We lived out of the country for a while so the opportunity never came. When we moved back it was a high priority, and it exceeded all expectations. Go!
The Good
-The food. As with all the greatest restaurants, the food does the talking. The menu is mostly made up from small plates. Choose 5 or 6 to share, and allow the chefs to showcase their talents. Incredible.
-Location. Set in the heart of York, a short walk from the station
-Staff. Friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. This is a relaxed place, suited for soaking up the atmosphere of the open kitchen.
-Atmosphere... as I was saying. When it gets busy there's a lovely gentle bustle and buzz to the place.
The Bad
-Oh please... maybe waitlists? But thy enhances the anticipation. Better get booking
Greg's Tip
Book for lunch, midweek if you can
Beautiful food. Gorgeous wine. The attention to detail was just fantastic. We absolutely loved it at Skosh. I recommend for everyone to try the hen’s egg. It was a delightful surprise and not what I expected.
If you find yourself in York, please please please get booked in here. You won’t regret it!
Food was dedicated and absolutely delicious. My favourite is fried chicken. Service was good as well.
Very good food and great selection of wines at this friendly Michelin bib gourmand restaurant. Excellent value for money. Highlights were the hens eggs, lamb dumplings, and calamari. Potato tower is a must.
AMAZING FOOD! We absolutely loved every dish and wanted to lick the plates clean. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and attentive and really add to the experience. Every dish was 10/10, highly recommend the crab papads, garlic brioche, duck, hake, potatoes, asparagus, pork fritters - everything. Would come back tomorrow if we could. We ate here and at Roots and would choose Skosh every time. Can’t wait to return!
This is an outstanding, terrific solid gold taste sensation. Must be the nicest place to eat in York, and I've tried quite a few!
Unassuming yet sophisticated cafe vibes bely a hardworking kitchen and waiting staff to bring you magnificent menu combinations throughout your meal. I'm sure the menu changes regularly but the char siu belly pork with gooseberry and baby gem was mouthwatering, plaice in tandoori butter with pureed lime pickle also exceptional and even the humble Jersey royals were elevated by the taste combos of marjoram and spring alliums on offer. The green beans with pickled watermelon, Thai basil and satay cream was gorgeous too. Sourdough bread fresh and warm, served with butter and gunpowder salt. Yum.
Decent wine selection here too and cocktails looked pretty good - I'd have had one if it wasn't lunchtime, but I was considering it...
Look at the attached menu, see the photos and go and eat here. I'll be back.
Food is on another level. Good selection of drinks. Always come away amazed. Friendly staff, casual atmosphere. It's not cheap but I consider it excellent value given the quality, especially when compared to what's on offer from other fine dining restaurants. Book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Highly recommended.

Me and hubby have been wanting to visit Skosh since we read Jay Raynor's review some years ago and it didn't disappoint. When it says 'small plates' there is more than enough to share between 2 people and unlike some other 'small plate' establishments, you do not leave hungry. Even so, it isn't 'style over substance' either, every plate exploded with taste and was beautifully presented with little surprises hidden here and there (I won't spoil the fun).
And it's not only the food that delivers, a welcome change is that the majority of the wines can be bought by the glass so you can either stick with what you like or change it up with what you are eating (can recommend the 'Amstramgram Pomone' which went with all the savoury dishes we had and the Gruner Veltliner, which paired beautifully with the Baron Begod cheese and truffled toast!)
We sampled around half of the menu so we have the joy of looking forward to a return visit to taste the other half (or maybe even a completely new menu?).
