The Journal — Eating & Drinking in York
Steak guides, York eating-out picks and tales from behind the bar. Long reads and short ones from an adults-only steak restaurant in the heart of the city.
Welcome to The Whippet Journal — our slow-cooked corner of the site for the things that don't fit on a menu. Expect honest guides to eating and drinking in York city centre: how to pick (and cook) a proper steak, where to eat before a show, the best rooms for a private do, and the odd story about the beef, the bar and the building.
We've been doing things a little differently on the cool side of the Ouse since 2014 — an independent, adults-only steak restaurant and cocktail bar with a menagerie of quirky trinkets and a drinks list our team genuinely geek out over. If a post here whets your appetite, the good stuff is only ever a click away: meet the beef, browse the wine & cocktails, plan a private dining night, or just book a table. Escape the ordinary.
New stories are on the way — the best steak in York, where to eat near the Minster, private dining picks and pre-theatre plans. Check back soon.
