One of the things that surprised me the most on my recent visit to York was the quality of food throughout the City. This was part of a 6 course tasting menu at Arras - Veal Sweetbreads with coco bean, kale, ceps and coco nib - which was paired with 2013 Man O War ValhallaChardonnay - Waiheke Island from New Zealand. Sweetbreads are notoriously difficult to cook - badly done they are like little lumps of rubber. Here they were tender, melting flavour bombs perfectly paired with the coco beans, kale and ceps. Actually there wasn't a single part of the menu I didn't enjoy - it was a brilliant combination of fine dining and fun, with a meat course called 'Bavette with the Lot' (steak with egg, pineapple, bacon, beetroot, onions and ricotta for instance) and a grand finale of petits fours that were just like an explosion in a sweet shop. Fabulous stuff. I'll definitely be back when I'm next in York. @arras_york #TBIN #ttot @visityork #OnlyinYork #YorkAdventure #makeitYork #travelblogger #instagood #instatravel #instagramers #girlswhotravel #sheisnotlost #instatravel #instapic #instagood #guardiantravelsnap #picoftheday #travellife #instatravelling #lifestyleblogger #travelinstyle #londonblogger #visityork #foodstagram #foodphotography #instafoodie #foodbloguk #foodblogger #instafoodblogger
