Ambiente boasts two alternative takes on the tapas restaurant theme, both within the city walls and each with its own identity.
Ambiente Fossgate is located on Yorksâ destination street for indie dining. Youâll find a theatre kitchen and stylish modern urban dĂ©cor, all in a spacious groundfloor area with ample room for the whole family as well as push chairs. Whilst Ambiente Goodramgate is housed in a characterful listed Georgian building and is ideal for more intimate family meals.
With a streamlined menu featuring the cityâs favourite mouthwatering tapas dishes, think paella, patatas bravas & calamares, thereâs more than enough to inspire your childrenâs tastebuds without having to compromise on your dining experience. As itâs all made for sharing, your kids can discover their adventurous eating side as they can try a little of everything. Weâll also help you keep them entertained with our kidsâ packs. Ambiente is also Breastfeeding Friendly and our Fossgate restaurant has a ground floor baby changing facility, whilst our Goodramgate baby changing facility is accessible by a few steps on the ground floor, ensuring mums can dine out with their baby in confidence.
Our menu is inspired by tapas served in traditional Spanish âtabancosâ and in true Spanish style, for the adults out there, our drinks list contains so much sherry we guarantee youâll be back for more. For more info visit their website here or follow them on facebook via the links below.

LT, June 2018
I love Cosy Club. Spent loads of time here with mum friends in the first 6-7 months as the soft seating area is so feeding friendly and thereâs a decent baby change. Pretty spacious too so suitable for groups of 5 or 6 with prams. As the babies are getting bigger itâs a lovely place to eat as a family, the staff are so helpful with the little ones. The food is good too and it feels more âgrown upâ if you want to feel like an adult for an hour! Thereâs colouring stuff provided for older kids too
