Fish&Forest York have opened new venue Notes Wine Bar

A brand new wine bar has opened at a prime location in York city centre, courtesy of Fish&Forest York.

The team behind Fish&ForestYork have opened the new wine bar, Notes, in their former Fish&Forest restaurant site on Micklegate.

Fish&Forest York, meanwhile, will be relocating to Grape Lane – the site currently occupied by 1331.

Speaking on the new venture, Chef Owner Stephen Andrews said: “Notes Wine Bar will be a relaxed and comfortable space to enjoy carefully selected wines from across the world.

“It’s the sister brand of Fish&Forest (York), so staying true to our ethos, of course we’ll be exploring local produce, and we’ll have a smaller menu of snacks and nibbles for you to enjoy too.

“I want our guests to feel comfortable dropping in after work or before a meal, or for a quick break from exploring the city. The perfect adult hang out.”

As well as showcasing the best of Yorkshire’s wine-making, the wine bar also features a range of cocktails, bottled beers and a selection on draft too.

Top chef Yohan Barthélémy is also serving up Danish-themed open sandwiches and plenty of bread and olives as well as cured meats and fish.

The opening of Notes Wine Bar is timed alongside the expansion of Stephen’s Fish&Forest York concept.

After gaining huge success since its launch in 2020 – including recognition from the esteemed Michelin Guide for its Commitment to Sustainable Gastronomy, not to mention earning an AA Rosette award and being listed in Harden’s – the move to Grape Lane will allow for more guests to come and enjoy Fish&Forest’s offering in York.

Chef Stephen has built his reputation around an exciting and ever-evolving menu that utilises seasonal veg and locally sourced seafood and game meat, resulting in one of the best dining destinations in York.

He serves seasonal and sustainable seafood and game, with crab coming directly from the fishermen in Whitby, oysters from Lindisfarne and game from small local farms and estates.

His menu also pays huge attention to the use of seasonal herbs and vegetables, all of which are foraged from the local countryside.

Notes Wine Bar opened its doors on Micklegate in June 2024, whilst Fish&Forest York will be moving to its new location on Grape Lane in July 2024.
