A
Betty's
Afternoon tea, old-school style, in a Yorkshire institution. Hardly surprising that most of the people in the fast-moving queue are of the older generations. Still, it's a bit of class, especially after 18:00, when the pianist adds colour to the proceedings.

Fiesta Mexicana
Fiesta Mexicana Chimichangas, tostadas and burritos served in a relentlessly happy atmosphere. Students and party groups on the rip add to the fiesta; it's not subtle or subdued, but when is Mexican food ever so?

J Baker's
Superstar chef Jeff Baker left Leeds' Pool Court and his Michelin star to pursue his own vision of Modern British cuisine here. The defiantly traditional menu offers classics like ox tongue, egg 'n' chips and steaks - these days, it's all about being one of the lads, so long as Messrs Michelin are paying close attention.

D
Melton's
Foodies come from far and wide to dine in one of Yorkshire's best restaurants. It tends to specialise in fish dishes but doesn't go far wrong with practically everything else, from Yorkshire beef to the asparagus risotto with pinenuts and herbs. There's an excellent lunch and early dinner set menu (around £17).

La Vecchia Scuola
Housed in the former York College for Girls, the faux elegant dining room - complete with self-playing grand piano - is straight out of Growing Up Gotti, but there's nothing fake about the food: authentic Italian cuisine served in suitably snooty style by proper Italian waiters.

Little Betty's
Betty's younger sister is more demure, less frequented, but just as good; you go upstairs and back in time to what feels like the interwar years - it's possible to spot a couple of Agatha Christie lookalikes. The afternoon tea would feed a small village.

Blue Bicycle
Once upon a time, this building was a well-frequented brothel; these days it serves up a different kind of fare to an equally enthusiastic crowd. French food at its finest, served in a romantic, candlelit room, makes for a top-notch dining experience.

Café Concerto
Café Concerto 'Music for your mouth' is the theme of this lovely café facing the minster. The walls are papered with sheet music, but it's the delicious food that makes the most noise - the chicken and avocado sandwich is sensational.

Melton's Too
A very comfortable, booth-lined restaurant that does modern Brit cuisine like Yorkshire sirloin steak as well as a host of salads and sandwiches. It's the slightly scruffier younger brother to Melton's.

Siam House
Delicious, authentic Thai food in about as authentic an atmosphere as you could muster up 6000km from Bangkok. The early bird, three-course special (around £11) is an absolute steal.
