Ate O'Clock is an independent family run restaurant at 13A High Ousegate in central York. Reached through an arched alleyway dressed with lights, it opens into indoor dining rooms and a sheltered courtyard with a distinctive, welcoming atmosphere.
The food combines modern British and European ideas with a Mediterranean influence. Steaks, burgers, fish, risotto and pasta sit across à la carte and set menus, with produce sourced locally where practical and dishes largely made in house.
Separate vegetarian, vegan and gluten free menus offer meaningful choice rather than a single token alternative. The restaurant suits lunch, dinner and celebrations, while the courtyard remains useful in both warmer and cooler seasons.
Cocktails and wines are joined by York Gin, Rudgate Brewery beers and locally roasted coffee, connecting the drinks list to the city. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should still discuss the current ingredients and preparation with staff before ordering.
Address: 13A High Ousegate, York YO1 8RZ, England
