An absolutely stunning 3 course meal, attentive friendly staff and a great view of the minster. One of the best meals I've ever eaten, genuinely. The quality of every dish was second to none and you could taste every ingredient! Hats off to the best restaurant we've eaten in for a very long time.
My wife and I go out once a fortnight to eat out. We travel a lot and eat at many restaurants all over the UK. This is one of the best we have been too. We had a three course meal and every dish was fantastic. I loved the starter pan fried king prawns superb.

We ate here yesterday evening. The food was superb. Fresh and beautifully cooked and presented. We had 1chicken fillet meal and 1smoked haddock risotto.Then two scrumptious desserts. Wine cellar also excellent. Got to be the best in York. Thank you.
Came here on Friday morning for breakfast. Led by trip advisor reviews but initially put off as my friend and I were the only ones there at 10:30. However great seat in the sundown and the staff accommodated my request for some bacon with my scrambled eggs. It was divine! Washed down with excellent coffee. Cafe started filling up after about 20 minutes with people eating tea and cake. Will definitely go back and perhaps try the evening menu next time.
My friend and I had a lovely evening meal on 19th. We both ate steak which were beautifully cooked. Delicious deserts and good wine. Would recommend...
A lovely little restaurant next to York Minster
Really nice food well presented, reasonably priced, very friendly staff, would definitely recommend.
The best food I've ever eaten. I'm quite fussy on quality and I've sampled a lot but honestly I cannot fault it and not expensive either. I'd come to York again JUST to eat here again. Exquisete...how a restaurant should be.
Excellent food excellent service relaxed dining recommend a visit.
Amazing venue. Good food. This was a return visit as when in York go to Bennett's. My now wife and I will always return
Excellent food, wine and service. You will not be disappointed if you visit Bennett’s Cafe & Bistro in York. I was there with my sister Tuesday 24th October 2017. Fabulous !!!
Lovely staff great service, food was excellent.
Great service at a busy time. Lovely coffee and toasted Ham & Cheese Sandwiches. Always try and get a table here when we are in York - consistently good. Lovely staff.
Great café, right in front of York Minster, incredible view of the Cathedral. The scones were superb, still warm. The preserve was very good. Also had some parkin, which is basically a local ginger/spiced cake. The members of staff were very nice. The price was fair - great quality/price ratio. Recommended.
A lovely eatery in the shadow of York Minster with a great view of the intersecting roads too. Staff are friendly & proficient. Food is lovely too. Well worth a visit for breakfast,lunch or cake and coffee!
Great place to have a cup of coffee or drinks with a great view.
Also the workers were very kind, truly such a great ambience
Love calling in here everytime we go to York. The food is amazing, especially the goats cheese salad. The service has always been nothing less than perfect. Friendly attentive and made to feel welcome. Prices are excellent for the quality of food you receive and the view, especially when sat outside is, well, you can't get any closer to the minster! Stunning views.
Thank you Bennett's and we'll be back again soon
Lovely little cafe with seating in or out.
The waiters were very "matter of a fact" but they were polite and helpful.
There isn't a huge choice of food but certainly enough for a lunchtime snack.
We ordered some sandwiches for the kind and I had scrambled egg and salmon and it was very tasty.
The speed of service was amazing. Food was brought out within 10 minutes of ordering.
It wasn't super busy but there was a healthy turnover of customers.
No frills but a nice decent cafe.
Short wait for a table, but very prompt, friendly service. Nice selection of teas, drinks and food. The scrambled eggs were very good and the scones were amazing!!
We bumped into this cute little cafe while wondering around in York. Ordered Carrot cake, Scone with Cream and Jam, Hot chocolate, and coffees (Lattes).
Their carrot cake was a good portion and tasty, simply very yumm. Their scone with cream and jam is my favorite. They make good coffees and hot chocolate too!
Highly recommend this place ! Felt lucky to find this gem out of pure chance☺️🌝
Stopped off here (6/23) as a group of six after visiting Jorvik. Sat outside in the sun right in front of the Minster and we all had typically English afternoon snacks - crumpets, toasted teacakes or scone with cream and jam (that was mine) and of course a cuppa. All delicious and reasonably priced. Super-friendly staff too.
A fantastic spot for a good cup of tea! Literally in front of the Minster, the scones were really good and the place was cosy on a very chilly day. A marvelous way of saying goodbye to York 💙
Near to the York Minster, Bennett's was perfect for their fresh food, wonderful scones and professional staff. Perfect find for our day trip to York! Excellent value for prices.
Lovely place, we had some tea and scones. It is a very cosy spot with a very relaxing atmosphere.
Great food, I had the Yorkshire breakfast, friendly staff, great location, I will return, cheers.
Breakfast with a view!
This cafe has the biggest window per table ratio I have seen in a while ... Everyone loves a spot of people watching.
Oh, and the food is truly scrumptious!
Most enjoyable pitstop before starting a day of touristy sight seeing.
The staff were delightful and most accommodating.
If you don't visit here, then you won't have the required energy levels for a trek around the city... Do it!!
An excellent eatery just by York Minster; really excellent food and drink, with very friendly and helpful staff and great service.
We popped in on Sunday and were lucky to get a table but it was well worth it - the goats cheese salad and ham hock terrine were really delicious and I'd heartily recommend to anyone.
Definitely would visit again, and will make a point of going back next time I'm in York.
Friendly staff
The location is very pleasant as you can see the York Mister and church at the window while you enjoy your tea/ coffee
Having inadvertently booked ‘room only’ at our hotel, we were delighted to find this little gem by York Minster, superb location and the best bacon sandwich I’ve had in a very long time. Friendly service, will definitely return on our next trip to York.
