Everything was excellent! Would 100% recommend to everyone. Very chilled, laid back feel, excellent vegetarian selection (which is incredibly rare in York) Will be returning again soon!

A lunchtime birthday celebration with the girls and had a fantastic time. Food delicious, excellent choice for vegetarians and service great. All in all a lovely little restaurant that I have highly recommended to friends and will certainly be returning.

Extensive vegan menu, the vegan fried 'chicken' was excellent, great selection for all diets and food overall was delicious. Definitely one to revisit when in York.

Great food and service. Some very different food choices, all beautifully presented and delicious. Seems very popular and not surprising as it's a great place!

Lovely food. Friendly staff. The only reason I didn't give full marks was because it wasn't my other halfs 'thing' but he cleared his plate and had pudding!!!!!!!

This is an excellent restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed. We had the pulled pork and chicken platters - highly recommend them both. We also really enjoyed the bottled York beers. We will be back when in York again.

Amazing food. Excellent value. Staff could be more attentive but it didn't detract too much from a lovely meal out. Great atmosphere in the restaurant. Keen to try breakfast there soon too.

Good food, reasonable prices, friendly helpful staff. Clean tidy premises. Booked for a lunchtime meal for family, really enjoyed whole experience. Thanks to all staff.

Food was delicious - but portions were tiny (especially considering the cost). The actual restaurant is nice inside and the servers were all great. Would go again but next time will be ordering more food ;)

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience. I have quite a lot of food intolerances and am allergic to to sugar. The waitress was extremely attentative to my needs and we really enjoyed everything that we are. It was just a shame I couldn't have the pulled jack fruit as it had sugar in!! Thanks 😀

Very nice food and the sauce with the Vegan chicken was amazing. Nice friendly staff too. The tap water was the only thing I didn't enjoy, tasted very flouridy, would have been nicer chilled - and yes, I know, I should pay for bottled, which I usually do but the lovely waitress asked us if we wanted some for the table so I just said yes, but again, this isn't something that would make me think bad of the place, I would go back again and again.

Nice décor, service and food including a range of vegetarian options. Prices were reasonable. An enjoyable evening overall and we will very likely be back!

This was our first visit to Source on the recommendation of a friend. We had the nachos to start with olives and bread. The bread was lovely and soft and the nachos really tasty. For main course the children had pizza and we had the pork burger and halloumi stack. All was delicious! Fantastic food, great service and a hit with the children!

Smaller than I thought it would be , but nice. Not a great choice of drinks. We both had the jackfruit and at £13.50 we were expecting it to be a nice plate of food. Well! It wasn't a plate of food it was a tray of food. A spoonful of jackfruit, a teaspoon of coleslaw two inch cube of corn bread and a handful of fries. All served on grease proof paper on a tray. Won't be going back.

Fabulous food and atmosphere. Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent as always. A visit to Source is highly recommended. We will be definitely be back again soon!

A hidden gem in the heart of York owned by husband (chef) & wife (front of house). Super friendly service, amazing food to suit all tastes and diets in a really warm, cosy atmosphere. Our diverse group of 11 (cycling coast to coast) were all wowed. Willl definitely be returning.

A beautiful restaurant with lovely friendly staff & amazing fresh food.. what more can you ask for! A Great central location too in the city of York.

Delicious food especially the puy lentil salad with pulled pork. Very friendly knowledgeable staff, excellent location near the centre of York and the Castle Museum.

Food was amazing - had Aubergine and halloumi stack - not a big eater but for £11 the portion was quite small. Service was excellent - lovely girl!

Really good slow cooked food with lots of choice for vegetarians and even Vegan Chicken! Great service, they couldn't do more to accommodate us. Even with a toddler meltdown! Highchairs, colouring in and crayons for children is a nice touch. Will definitely be back if we can get a booking. It's very popular.

Had a lovely evening at Source. The waitress was very cheerful and welcoming. She explained about GF diets as we were with a friend who required this. The menu is very good for all kinds of diets and we enjoyed the starters more than the mains but perhaps we might order something different next time! House wine very reasonably priced and easy to drink. All in all a very good experience. Thanks

A small and friendly, privately owned restaurant serving a good choice of healthy eating food. The staff are welcoming and Efficient. The restaurant is very clean.

Nice relaxed atmosphere.A really well set out restaurant. Very friendly staff. Well though out menu. Nice to have something a bit different. Would definitely recommend.

Tasty food with a good range of vegetarian and meaty food. Something for everyone. Only downside is that the bill can be a little on the steep side.

Very friendly, helpful staff, a cosy atmosphere and an interesting selection of dishes to suit vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Excellent central location. Well worth a visit.

We came for a meal before seing a talk at the york royal opera house. It was our first time and I was really really impressed. Lovely staff that couldnt have been nicer, and amazing food that's very unique to what else is ok offer in York. We will definitely be back.

Source is a pretty unassuming restaurant, no big sign or lit frontage on Castlegate but ive been wanting to try this restaurant since i read a review in the Press. We werent disappointed, the restaurant has a really efficient booking system via Quandoo with reminders and guest sharing options. When we arrived we were greeted friendly and offered an option of tables, unfortunately nowhere to put our wet coats and umbrella but this isnt uncommon. The decor is really good, lots of wood and charm. There is an open kitchen but its not too noisy or smokey. The staff were excellent, there seemed to be 3 waiting staff and 3 chefs and they really did a great job since the restaurant rapidly filled to capacity at around 8pm. We had a relaxed time, never felt rushed or waited too long. The food, I had cauliflower florets with rocket and pomegranate: really imaginative but i did expect a bit more flavour, particularly from the dip, which was a bit bland. My partner had the grilled avocados, which were lovely. For main my partner had the chicken burger, which again contained avocado, shredded chicken and a very generous amount of haloumi. Everything looked homemade, the ketchup and mayonnaise included. I had the souce slow tray: a mixture of all the meats as i didnt want to miss out on trying any! Again, really good food and good portion size, not overwhelming but certainly full afterwards so we didnt try the deserts. A good range of wine and beers complimented the menu. Overall, a very good evening: well done all at Source!

Only good things to say - had yummy meal and cleared all our plates - ratatouille roulette, halloumi castle, bean salad and amazing sweet potato chips! It was also really kind of you to let us try a bottle of wine and decide that we didn't like it and choose two different glasses! Totally recommended and will be back next time we're in York - thanks for a great evening!

Sophisticated atmosphere with prices you would expect at such a place

Great food, great atmosphere and great service! We were staying one night in York and wanted a place to eat dinner with our family if five that was walkable from our hotel. Very happy with our choice!

Source is a lovely little restaurant. Service was excellent - really friendly staff and food was served quickly. Atmosphere was really nice and funky interior. Food was tasty. Would recommend a visit.

Source has lovely food and atmosphere. There were Lots of options for my vegan friend and the waitress was really accommodating. I can't recommend enough.

A lovely, cosy restaurant in the centre of York serving a good variety of dishes to meet differing dietary needs. Friendly and welcoming with efficient service.

Stunning! 2nd time at this wonderful restaurant and it once again proved a winner. Perfect for a veggie and meat-eating couple! A must visit restaurant for anyone who loves and appreciates good quality food.

Lovely, casual atmosphere and delicious food. Pulled jack fruit was great, especially the corn bread. My partner said the meat was cooked perfectly. Little expensive for a lunch but perfect for an evening meal out.

Interesting menu with plenty of choice. Service and atmosphere good too. Really enjoyable Saturday lunch - will be back. Only down side on this occasion was a large group of diners that overwhelmed the restaurant in terms of volume and space.

Really friendly staff, food was lovely but waited nearly an hour for it to arrive. I ordered the mix tray which was tasty, but a little on the small side. My girlfriend had a mushroom which she said she enjoyed. We would like to return, but probably give a Saturday a miss just because of the wait for food.

Lovely food, very nice staff, and a treat for vegetarians while still having great selection of meaty stuff. One of the few places to offer free-range chicken too.

Cute little restaurant with a good atmosphere. Service was fab, and the food was great, good choices for vegetarians and some nice small dishes to share!

Great service from welcoming staff made the evening. For the best ambience recommend to request seating away from kitchen when booking. Slow cooked beef and pulled chicken trays were fine but not remarkable. A tad overpriced.

Lovely food, very pleasant service, we were surprised that we were the only ones dining but the weather was awful . We would go again.

Good Service excellent environment and first class food . Have been lots of times always pleased and highly recommend it to family and friends and general community.

Innovative, delicious food. Wonderful flavour, great combinations, every dish was special. Just wish I could have tried them all. Friendly helpful service, great atmosphere. A superb unpretentious dining experience.

The food and service was excellent- lovely little place, so glad we found it! Great variety on the menu - I had the 48hr beef brisket- very tasty .

Really lovely and catered to all of our family. 3 meat eaters, a pescaterian, a veggitarian and a vegan. We all had lots of food to choose from and it was really tastey. thanks katy

The food at Source was excellent. It had a good atmosphere and was just a lovely restaurant. The staff were friendly too. Would definitely come again.

Food ok jackfruit too artificially spiced the food description on the menu is better than the food itself. Atmosphere affected in middle of restaurant by insufficient extraction of the kitchen area; go for a seat in the front if you can. Really lovely helpful service.

Every thing perfect. Food fantastic and staff helpful and friendly. Couldn't have wished for a better evening. Would highly recommend the restaurant to friends and family.

Fabulous food in a lovely setting. The whole baked cauliflower in tomato sauce with almonds was a triumph as was my co- diner's mushroom burger. Great atmosphere run by lovely people!

Although this is mainly a smokehouse style menu there is a lovely selection of vegetarian options. We found the staff helpful and the venue very child friendly. We will come again.
