What is it? Run by Argentinian Florencia Clifford and her husband Hugo, Partisan is a charming independent café-restaurant known for its ever-changing, globally inspired brunch menu. Expect dishes like Persian breakfast eggs, choripán, and figs and goat’s cheese on sourdough. The menu evolves with the seasons and the creativity of the team, making each visit a little different.
Why go? For a special brunch experience with top-notch coffee, seasonal food, and eclectic, ever-changing interiors. The space is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the stomach. Furnished by an antiques dealer, everything you see is for sale—meaning the décor shifts subtly over time. If you’re just passing by, it’s worth popping in for one of their freshly baked goods, both savoury and sweet.
Expect to pay: £15–20 per head without drinks.
Address: 112 Micklegate, York YO1 6JX
