Harden's says

Hearty and delicious Eastern European fare is served up on Instagram-friendly Polish crockery at Barbakan, a cafe-by-day and restaurant-by-night inside York's city walls. Open all day from breakfast - great for families.

* Based on a three course dinner, half a bottle of wine, coffee, cover charge, service and VAT.

A “robust Polish food offering in central York”, also serving other Eastern European specialities (notably textbook pierogi and borscht) and winning fans for its bargain prices; “if you can, leave room for the cakes which are truly delicious”.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
