York Restaurants, UK England

When visiting the historic city of York in England you should never have any difficulty finding something to eat. English food, Italian, Middle-Eastern, Asian, you name it.
There are all sorts of restaurants at all price levels from your simple sandwich takeout place to sit down fancy pubs to gourmet restaurants.
In the center of York on Grape Lane you'll find a legendary vegetarian restaurant called El Piano. All of their food is plant-based, it’s all vegan, gluten-free, nut free, palm oil-free, and with no refined sugar. They cater for everyone.
A true budget choice can be found in several of these kebab wagons that are scattered around town, if you're down by All Saints Church for example.
In the evening this is a really good place to have a quick simple dinner and it's going to be so inexpensive, about 5 pounds for a tasty kebab that's going to satisfy you.
And it's delicious with the sliced meats and the french fries. You don't need a reservation, you don't need a table just grab a sandwich to go and you can eat it at a bench or on the run.

York has it all - Roman and Viking and Medieval (eg York Minster), Renaissance era (eg York Guildhall) history. Fine Georgian era townhouses. Victorian heritage such as the railway station, railway museum, the old Terrys factory. It has chocolate shops, a decent number of restaurants and pubs (although the villages in North Yorkshire are sometimes just as good or better for those.)

My wife and I enjoyed a very nice meal and the ambiance at a place called Betty's. Modest prices added to the aforementioned pluses. Delightful city and the origin of, you guessed it, Yorkshire pudding to complement your roast beef!

I know that English cuisine does not have great international accolades, however being that I would be visiting England, I would like to try English food. I find the way of the world very peculiar these days. I cannot imagine visiting another nation to try food not from that nation. It baffles me.
If I visited York, which I would like to do, I would expect to eat English, or better yet traditional regional cuisine. In my own imagination, I imagine a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding, or bangers and mash, or an afternoon tea with the fixings, possibly toad in the hole, or a full English breakfast. There is obviously more to it than what one imagines. Open an English cookbook from 1890 or 1920, 1938 or any year in between. I do not know why more people do not study these for inspiration to open more traditional restaurants. Holding on to one's culture, history and cuisine is important. That is one of the many reasons that people actually want to travel.
I have yet to have been in England. As I mentioned I would also love to visit York. Through some research it seems to me that in most cities, and towns in the United Kingdom the most traditional food actually comes out of the pubs. On Google maps it is actually a real chore to find an English restaurant in England, or a Scottish restaurant in Scotland. They are very few and far in between. I find that strange, and unfortunate. I think every region should preserve what makes them unique.

I have strong connections to York and I like all this publicity, which is all a recent thing. If only ROMFORD were 2, not 200 miles away!
