Mannion & Co is a daytime cafe, deli and bistro at 1 Blake Street in central York. Fresh bread, pastries and cakes create the first impression at the counter, while the compact dining areas support a more substantial breakfast or lunch. Tables are offered on a first come basis during the day, matching the informal pace of the venue.
Breakfast and brunch include a full cooked plate, eggs Benedict, rarebit and dishes built around seasonal vegetables. Lunch can move from filled sandwiches and deli boards to more ambitious plates such as slow roasted meat, fishcakes, schnitzel and macaroni cheese. French, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern touches keep the menu broader than standard cafe fare.
Cheese, cured meats, olives, pickles and house baked breads make the sharing boards particularly well suited to a leisurely visit. Vegetarian dishes use ingredients such as mushrooms, squash, cauliflower, tahini and goat’s cheese rather than relying on a single substitute. Many items can be adjusted for allergies, but guests should discuss the current recipe and preparation with staff.
Coffee and handmade sweet items allow Mannion & Co to work just as well for a shorter break. The open kitchen and deli display keep the food visible and give the room much of its energy. Its appeal lies in combining the freshness of a bakery, the abundance of a delicatessen and the considered cooking of a small independent bistro.
