Nola York is a restaurant and bar at 2A Lendal in the heart of York. It occupies a former Congregational chapel and uses a 1920s Art Deco theme, with mirrors and marble in the upstairs bar and dark wood, leather chairs and banquette seating in the restaurant below.
New Orleans and Louisiana provide the culinary inspiration. Cajun and Creole flavours appear in dishes such as gumbo, jambalaya and seasoned chicken, bringing spice, slow cooking and the region’s mixture of meat, seafood and rice into the menu.
Food is served in petite portions intended to make it easier to try several flavours. Meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan sections allow a table to combine dishes, while sides and American influenced desserts such as pecan pie, key lime pie and Creole bread pudding can complete the meal.
The upstairs waiting area and bar offer wine, cocktails and other drinks, and the atmospheric setting is suited to both casual visits and occasions. Booking is recommended, although walk-ins are welcomed when space permits. Guests with allergies should speak to staff before ordering because dishes and preparation may involve a range of common allergens.
