Harden's survey result
Summary
“The menu is determined daily by catch”, and the result is “a wide and varied choice” of “fresh and excellent fish” at this popular bistro, near the city walls. Game and foraged food also feature in their menu repertoire, but inspire less feedback in our annual diners’ poll.
Summary
“An outstanding neighbourhood bistro that strives to produce and make sustainable food fresh from local produce, game shoots and day boats” – Stephen Andrews (supported by manager Yohan Barthelemy) delivers a “menu that’s small but perfect” in this inviting industrial-style space, complete with lots of concrete and wood. He took on these premises in April 2020, after a succession of pop-ups in other venues. Top Menu Tip – “incredibly fresh fish, well executed”.
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).

Fish and Forest Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Lovely (but small - moving to new premises in York soon) restaurant just inside the city walls. Strong focus on fish, with venison from the "forest". Very interesting selection of wines by the glass, friendly service, and beautifully cooked fish and seafood."
"This is a perfect little neighbourhood bistro in York, Great portions, fantastic cooking and great atmosphere"
