Chez Mal York is the brasserie and bar inside Malmaison York at 2 Rougier Street. The contemporary dining room sits close to the railway station and city centre attractions, making it useful for hotel guests as well as local diners meeting for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks.

The cooking takes the shape of a modern British brasserie with a subtle French influence. Global ideas and contemporary techniques sit alongside familiar classics, while Konro and Josper grills bring direct heat and a lightly charred character to meat, fish and vegetable dishes.

Menus change with the seasons and extend from breakfast through evening service. Grass fed British beef, burgers, grilled main courses and ingredient led starters form the core of the main menu, while Sunday lunch and afternoon tea provide distinct reasons to visit at other times of the week.

The adjoining Chez Mal Bar serves cocktails, wine, beer and lighter food in a relaxed setting. This combination of an all-day hotel brasserie and a lively bar allows the venue to suit a quiet coffee, a meal before exploring York, a business lunch or a longer celebration.

Address: Malmaison York, 2 Rougier Street, York YO90 1UU, England
