This underground tapas restaurant and cocktail bar is well worth a visit.
The atmosphere is probably the best thing here. Dark with above lighting creates a nice space to dine or meet with a partner.
Drinks were very good - wine and cocktails.
Service was excellent 👌. Really attentive service to
An intimate almost exclusive feel to the ambience, greeted at the door and all service was extremely friendly and professional.
Cocktails on point and a good selection of draughts available. Even made a great whiskey sour on request.
Started with the artisan bread which was delicious and came with
IT WAS LOVELY! We don't get to go out loads due to working a lot and it was brilliant. The staff where fantastic (big shout out to the lady who served us and showed me the cool bottle opener with the wooden handle but all the staff where lovely) to the point where when I paid up I double checked tha
So much better than the first. It was slightly salty first time round, but this time has been so good! Great treat out!👍🏼👍🏼
The food was amazing we had a mixed of olives, croquettes and a mixed paella. Our waiter supported us with wine choices by giving us samples. The place was clean. Overall we really enjoyed the place.
Good vibes and cocktails, also the staff was friendly. We will definitely come back another time.
Great little Tapas restaurant. The dishes were generous in size and tasted absolutely fantastic. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Definitely visit here if you're in York.
Absolutely outstanding food and service. Fred was so professional and warm. Food .... Oh my days..... Amazing! Pork special was to die for 🥰 I'm gluten free and there's loads to pick from. Definitely recommend. This was out second time visiting, first in 2019. Couldn't visit York without coming here
Went with a group of 6 for some Friday night tapas. Got seated without a booking just after 5 in the downstairs bar.
Food was spot on, the only small criticism would be the small menu. Don’t particularly need 3 variations of patatas bravas.
Kept the dishes coming and we worked our way through a few
Tasty tapas, black pudding balls, prawns and pork with rosemary and salt the highlights.
Let down by some other guests just in there for a drink who were going to the bar upstairs after.
Gorgeous Tapas. Its a bit more expensive than some restaurants but worth it. Also the wine and gins were really nice and the staff were very pleasant and helpful xx
Ordered quite a few dishes from this place. All were amazingly delicious. The olives and sizzling shrimp were particularly my favorite. Pages of libations available to suit your fancy. Charming rooftop seating. Impeccable service! Loved it!
My husband and I visited this weekend on a recommendation from a friend. Thank god we went! It was gorgeous! Food was 10/10, best tapas I’ve had outside of Spain, would recommend the puntillitas fritas y safran- loved the saffron tartare sauce- the patatas Bravas Sol y sombre, just gorgeous!
The atm
Well well… After looking around for some time for a 30th birthday venue (we wanted a smart casual dinner and dance vibe) Sotanos was the winning candidate. The staff were a dream, the lady who was working security on the door was an absolute legend and the most friendly person we have spoken too in
Extensive tapas menu, so many great quality options to pick from. Bartenders even take cocktail requests which is a bonus! Thanks to our lovely waitress (recently returned to this restaurant) she made our visit better!
My wife and I had our first date at Sotano York in 2019, then regularly attended their Ruby Tuesday events for the next 6 months since (tapas, wine and live music - perfect!) After moving out of York, we recently came back for our first wedding anniversary celebration…
Amazing drinks selection and
Great little place tucked away off little stonegate. Difficult to find at first as 2 sets of stairs lead to it from different businesses below. Great friendly staff. Drink/eat inside or out, with heaters to control if it gets cold (watch out if you have a bald head!).
A definite return....
I always come out in York and I've never been in here until recently and I thought it was really good. We got some of the tapas, meat and cheese board as well as some other bits. The food was really good and we did enjoy it. My only negative would be i think for around £15 that we paid for the meat
