It is one of the most revered annual awards for the world’s hospitality businesses – and York has come out shining.
The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards are based on website reviewers’ favourite destinations, hotels, restaurants, and things to do around the world, based on reviews and ratings collected over the past 12 months.
And three York restaurants are among those to win acclaim in 2023.
Two of them make it into the top 10 UK Best Date Night restaurants.
The Corner Grill House on King Street comes in at number 4. It has more than 1,000 5/5 reviews on Tripadvisor.
Reviews on the site commend “great food, great service” serving the “best steak ever”.


And at number 9 is Pairings Wine Bar on Castlegate – which has nearly 1,500 5/5 reviews. Reviewers say it is “always excellent” and a “fabulous way to while away an afternoon in York”.
And our third York restaurant to make the Tripadvisor awards comes in the Vegetarian top ten.
The wonderful Orchid Vegan Restaurant on George Hudson Street, which has 219 5/5 Tripadvisor reviews, comes in at number ten.
Sample reviews include “an amazing vegan Asian fusion/Chinese restaurant” and “probably the best vegan Chinese food we’ve ever had and at a great price too”.
