Great place with amazing customer service. Good food and solid wine selection. Will definitely return when we are back in York. The pitta is strongly spiced but well balanced with Greek tzatziki sauce. Kids enjoyed burgers and were welcomed on a Saturday night, which was the best. Just a great experience we’d recommend to anyone.

A very middle of the road, solid 3-star restaurant. Neither great nor poor. My better half and I almost walked right past this place as it was down a small alley and had very attractive restaurants on either side. However, there was a £27 Tuesday special on for 2 steak dinners with a bottle of wine. And I am a sucker for steak. And wine. So yea… Plus it happened to be a Tuesday so I saw it as a sign. Anyway, we walked in and weren’t greeted(there were only 2 other couples there) until we sat ourselves down in a cheerful, almost Spanish looking room. The restaurant looks tiny but if you make your way through it’s thin corridor-like entrance, there appear two more sections, each with a different feel. The back room is candle-lit with lots of tables while the front bar-area is more casual and relaxed. The upstairs has a glass ceiling and a nice continental feel. Almost moved up there! So we ordered our sirloin which came with onion rings, chips, a small salad, and mushrooms. The steak was good. My boyfriends was perfectly rare and mine was medium rare on the dot. However, the waitress mixed up our orders. It’s a good thing we realized it after a single bite. Our tables were sticky which was disappointing. I moved right before we were served rather than complain and the table in the back was sticky/crumby too. The staff was so lovely and friendly though(dealing with my seat changing) that I again didn’t say anything. The website describes it as ‘Parisian’ and ‘a slice of Europe’ in line with the kind of places Oscar Wilde would frequent. I am unconvinced. The rest of the food options were eclectic ranging from Mexican to Greek to American. A nice assortment if you want to try it. I don’t know if I’d come again given all of York’s tantalizing eateries. But my steak was nice.

Not an amazing place nor bad. Service was slow and food average. Ok atmosphere but very cramped. Not suitable for children as we found out!

A lovely little place tucked away among the old alleyways of York. Try it out — if you can find it!

Awww I have many a fond memories of Wildes, its a lovely little place if you can find it down a tiny alley. We stumbled upon it one day whilst having a day out in York whilst trying to find something a bit ‘different’. They do great food and it has a cool, relaxed atmosphere. I’d def go back next time I’m in York.

i love Wildes, the décor is really cool and its not your typical ‘chain’ pub. its very unique and the food is always lovely. if its a nice day try and get a seat upstairs in the glass roofed room, me and my fiancée spent hours in here just enjoying the place, definatley a good place to while away the afternoon with some wine and good company. and you get to it through a little tiny alley that adds to the magic and excitement
