As I mentioned in my last post we were up in York to watch my mum run the Yorkshire marathon over the weekend. Having a mum as a marathon runner definitely has its perks as we get to discover lots of great cities when we go and watch her run (see post about Dublin here). This time we got an Airbnb which was a great idea as it was like a home from home and meant that we could all chill together in the evenings. It also provided a good amount of space for Mila to roll around, note: she does NOT stop rolling so that was a pretty important factor. We stayed at this Airbnb if you're interested, the place was great and it was a brilliant location but our host wasn't the best at communicating - but that's a story for another time.
We spent Saturday having a quick mooch around the city, followed by a lovely italian dinner at a restaurant called Caesars, I would highly recommend. Sunday was spent roaming the city of York spectating and cheering my mum on at the marathon followed by a takeaway indian from The Raj - another great find. Having been preoccupied with the marathon for most of the weekend we didn't have that much time to take in the city and all of its sights so we spent this morning having a wonder around. With it being Monday morning it was so quiet which was lovely as it meant we could take pictures tourist free!
We pretty much all ordered the full English breakfast apart from Joe who got the vegetarian version (we recently watch 'The Truth About Meat') and the food was as good as the interiors. Everything was cooked perfectly and they added a great twist on the baked beans by adding a bit of spice. I'd love to go back and try their lunch and dinner menu as well.
My top recommendation of the trip is where we ventured for breakfast, a really cool restaurant called Cut & Chase. I noticed it when we first looked around the city on Saturday and was struck by the interesting typography and slick interiors that the restaurant offered, when I saw that they also served up a great array of breakfast options I was sold.
So all in all we had a brilliant trip to York and now we all can't wait until mum runs her next marathon so that we can discover another new city, but I think York is one that we'll definitely be taking a trip back to.
