Wilde's Wine Bar & Bistro, York

Sharing its name with the famous playwright and socialite, this modern restaurant, with a distinctly cosmopolitan atmosphere, is tucked away behind some of York's smaller streets; newcomers to the city may find it a little tricky to discover. Although a bit on the small side, its intimate surroundings help set the mood and there are enough tables to make sure that getting seated isn't too much of a problem. Wilde's has a varied menu, which covers all tastes, from Mexican to Italian to traditional English dishes.
