York, Mediterranean Restaurant Guide

Born as a Shambles Market stall in 2015 (the stall is still going strong), Tarik Abdeladim’s venture branched out into this bricks-and-mortar incarnation three years later. It wins praise for “very enjoyable North African food” with “plenty of interesting sharing options” and Brew York’s branded Los Moros pale ale and lager to wash it down. Top Tip – “sit downstairs if you can”.

This “lively” and well commented-on venue with a “good choice of tapas” celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, now with two more branches in York as well as outposts in Leeds and Hull. A meal here is a “good opportunity to explore sherries, with various flights available”.
