City Centre
Eating out with kids can sometimes be something of a challenge (understatement of the year!) There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants in the York area which really do welcome children and families so I’ve compiled a list of them here.
These places are not all ‘exclusively’ for families or children but they have all shown thoughtful touches or great facilities (things like pushchair access, changing facilities, highchairs and so on)
At York Mumbler we are always looking to ‘spread the word’ if we find out about any little gems, so if you know of a pub, restaurant or café that should be included in this listing then please contact us here.

From songmen to squirrels, priests to pork pies, you can discover them all in our hidden medieval hall!
Tucked away behind bustling Goodramgate lies one of York’s true hidden treasures.
Once the dining hall of the medieval Vicars Choral of York Minster, Bedern Hall is now open to share stories from an eclectic mix of over 700 years of history!
Entry to Hall is free, but donations are greatly encouraged!

Plush Café is the most instagrammable café in York!
This independent family-run business offers a delicious brunch and lunch menu (with great vegan and gluten-free options!), as well as coffee, tea, cakes, ice-cream, freakshakes and more for both sit in and takeaway.
They have 3 themed dining rooms – the gorgeous Garden Room with flowers all over the walls and swings for seats, the luxurious Bohemian Room full of floor cushions and low tables, and the eccentric Neon Room, which is also dog friendly.
Plush has some amazing and unusual ice-cream flavours to choose from. Go crazy with a bright and colourful ice-cream selection on a rainbow cone or choose the Black Coconut ice-cream with a black cone and wafer for something really different!
While you’re there, have a look at the fab and fun homeware on offer in the Plush Boutique Store. Who doesn’t want flamingo salt and pepper shakers or a teapot shaped like a cat!?

ℹ️ Top Tip: Plush is in one of York’s fab older buildings. There are 3 rooms to choose from.. we’ve found the garden room great for older children with the swinging seats and the Bohemian Room better for younger ones as there are low tables and cusions on the floor. These are both on the 1st floor. The ground floor room is better for buggies. It is a dark room (with neon)
Don’t forget to show the Plush Team this Mumbler post to get a free Electric Lemonade worth £2.95 when you spend £10.

In June, popular restaurant group Rosa’s Thai opened the doors to its York restaurant on Coney Street, in the heart of the historic city. Rosa’s Thai started as a market stall on London’s Brick Lane in 2007, where celebrated Thai chef Saiphin Moore served up her family recipes to hungry lunchtime crowds. A year later, Saiphin and her husband Alex opened the first Rosa’s Thai restaurant in Spitalfields. The York restaurant is headed up by long-standing Rosa’s team members – and husband and wife duo – GM Mumu and head chef Moi, who have been an integral part of the Rosa’s Thai family since its launch in Leeds back in 2019.
The 80-cover restaurant is housed in an early 18th Century building on Coney Street – next to York’s historic Mansion House – and retains many of the building’s original features. Rosa’s Thai York also boasts an enclosed courtyard for al fresco dining in the warmer months, and is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Rosa’s Thai’s signature dishes are made using the best of Thai produce, including chilli pastes from a husband and wife team in the Huai Yod district and rice noodles from a 3rd generation family business thathas made noodles for over 80 years. Menu highlights include familiar Thai dishes including fan-favourite pad Thai and comforting green curry, as well as Rosa’s cult favourites from drunken noodles to stir-fried aubergine with yellow bean sauce, chilli, soy sauce & sweet basil.
