Located in the heart of York, just minutes away from York Minster, Lucia is the perfect place to stop by no matter the time of day. With a patisserie, restaurant and cocktail bar within, Lucia has something to offer for every hour. Whether that's a cake and coffee in the morning, or an Italian feast in the evening, you will not be leaving Lucia’s disappointed.
Take lunch in the beautiful heated courtyard, where you can enjoy your meal al fresco even in the frostier months. The lunch menu is short but carefully curated, with an option for everyone. The dishes are classic and unfussy, with some global inspiration present. To start, choose between a classic prawn cocktail or a chicken liver pate served with grilled sourdough and red onion chutney. For vegetarians, the tomato bruschetta is a must-order, and the crispy pork belly is a great option for anyone wanting to begin with something more substantial.
Main dishes include a selection of salads, with options for vegan and meat eaters alike. For something a bit richer try out the carbonara, finished with black pepper and grana padano. The decadent steak ciabatta is also not to be missed, oozing with sauteed onions and served with a side of chips.
Once dinner time comes prepare for a feast of Italian-inspired plates and decadent flavours. The menu is extensive, with a sourdough pizza section and a selection of steaks. The pasta dishes combine tradition with innovation. If you’re wanting to test out something different try the pulled beef, asparagus and pea risotto, or opt for the monkfish and chorizo tagliatelle.
Swing by at the end of the week to enjoy Lucia’s unmissable Sunday roast. Share the serving platter with your guests and try a bit of everything, be sure to add on bottomless drinks to make the most of your trip.
