My First Impressions At Vallado Lounge York

The first thing I noticed when I approached the restaurant was the large space it held, the exterior was make up of full glass walls allowing so much natural light inside.

I personally loved the outdoor seating area, a small amount of tables filled the area with fairy lights above making a truly magical feel, perfect for evening drinks.

The Interior was bright and had the most unusual layout, very spacious. When I first walked inside I was paying more attention to all the painting that covered the walls than the host that was trying to greet me.

My Experience At Vallado Lounge York

When we entered we was greet by the manager and shown to our table.

It seemed very formal until they informed us that we could order at the bar or via the app. Staff were dressed in there own clothes and seemed to really be enjoying themselves at work.

The restaurant features distinct areas to cater to different experiences: a cozy café section where you can unwind on a sofa with a warm drink, and a dedicated dining area where the restaurant’s food menus are placed on the tables.

I ordered all our food at the bar because that is my preference but my partner did order a second round of drinks through the app and said it worked really well and was easy to follow.

My Food At Vallado Lounge York

Me and Partner definitely struggled to decide what we fancied off such a large menu.

When we finally decided we ordered the Lounge Breakfast for my partner and I opted for the Tapas dishes: Korean King Prawns, Sriracha & Honey Fried Chicken Wings, Lamb Kofte and finished it off with a side portion of Garlic & Italian Cheese Fries.

I personally loved my Tapas dishes all cooked to perfection with such a range to choose from no one dish tasted the same making every bite exciting.

My Drinks At Vallodo Lounge York

We ordered the cocktail deal, which is available Thursday – Sunday from 5 – 8 pm, you can get 2 cocktails for £12.75.

The cocktails were stunning, to say the least, I almost felt bad drinking it.

We chose the Black Raspberry Spritz which is Gordon’s Gin, Blackberry Montzi and lemon topped with lemonade.

How Much Did It All Cost?

My total bill came to £42.15. This includes 1 Main Meal, 3 Tapas Dishes, 1 Side Dish and 2 Cocktails.

I personally think this is reasonably priced, we visited on a Thursday night so the cocktail were on a deal.

I recommend checking their website for daily deals because they do offer different deals on selected days.
