Cafe No.8 Bistro

Cafe No.8 Bistro is a compact independent bistro on Gillygate in York, where dogs are welcome inside the dining room. The kitchen turns out simple, well-executed dishes in a relaxed setting just a short stroll from the city centre—ideal when you're both ready to settle in for proper food without splitting up.

The venue warmly welcomes well-behaved dogs into its cosy bistro, though space is limited so it's worth calling ahead to let them know you're bringing a table supervisor. They ask that dogs stay settled by the table, which is easily done when there's good food on the way and no reason to rush off.

Open Wednesday to Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch, Cafe No.8 Bistro sits on one of York's busier visitor streets, making it a practical stop after a central wander or a loop around the nearby parks. Dogs can join you for the whole meal and the welcome is genuine.
