Ate O'Clock

Hidden down a fairy-lit alleyway in the centre of York, Ate O'Clock feels like a little discovery once you step through the archway. The restaurant mixes a warm, relaxed atmosphere with bistro-style dining, serving modern British and European dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, and dogs are welcome inside.

Inside, there are several cosy dining spaces plus a courtyard that works well for both summer evenings and snug winter meals. Menus range from steaks and classic comfort dishes to vegetarian and vegan options, making it a versatile stop whether you're celebrating, catching up with friends, or simply refuelling after sightseeing in the city. Water bowls and doggy treats are provided for four-legged guests.

It's worth checking table availability ahead, especially if you're planning a visit with your dog, but the welcome is genuine and the setting makes for a relaxed meal together after exploring York's streets.
