Bill's York Restaurant

You'll spot this place easily on Coney Street – just look for the trademark Bill's greenery spilling onto the pavement and that unmistakable boho-chic frontage. Inside, it's all mismatched furniture, vintage finds, and enough hanging plants to make your Instagram-obsessed mate weep with joy. The menu does exactly what you'd expect from Bill's: proper all-day dining that doesn't take itself too seriously. Their pancakes are genuinely excellent (stack them high with bacon), whilst the salads actually fill you up rather than leaving you eyeing up Greggs on the way home. It's become the default choice for shoppers needing a break from trudging around the city centre, and honestly, there are far worse places to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon people-watching through those big windows.
