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 Iâve compiled a list of them here.
These places are not all âexclusivelyâ 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 âspread the wordâ if we find out about any little gems, so if you know of a pub, restaurant or cafĂ© that should be included in this listing then please contact us here.
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.

We are situated in a traditional, centuries old, pub restaurant nestled between Tadcaster and Selby and serve the best locally sourced beef available. Our steaks are matured and butchered on the premises and range in size from the modest 6 ounce Fillet to the Rythre Monster that comes in at an awe-inspiring 78 ounces!
Rythre Arms is amazing! You get loads of food and Home made chips. Bit pricey but well worth it. They do an early bird menu which is cheaper! We go every year.
