  “3 friends reserved for evening dinner. The food all tasted fresh and very tasty. Really nice ambience, speedy service and special shout out to the waiters and waitresses who were very friendly, attentive and even provided recommendations where to go out in York afterwards. Would visit again! Dish highlights - Gambas Prawns, Chicken Thighs, Goan Chicken Curry, Halloumi, Olives, tomato salad and spicy rice! The desert special was also delicious! orange almond cake I believe.”

  “Lovely independent restaurant in the city centre, highlights included the special croquettes which were ham and cheese during our visit, the halloumi and the piri piri chicken! Great service and friendly atmosphere, I’d recommend booking as we went on Thursday and still saw lots of people being turned away!”

  “Excellent Portuguese tapas! Went in on a quiet weekday with my partner as we really fancied some tapas. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender paired with a lovely chimichuri sauce. The Goan Curry was fantastic as well with tender and juicy chicken along with bread. Our desert of the Basco cheesecake was absolutely incredible, one of the best I ever had. I will be returning for sure.”

  “It was around 4pm when we got here so easy to get a seat, although I would recommend reserving a table. We had the Tomato Bread, Croquettes of the day (Chicken and Mushroom, and awesome), some fries, the Chourico, and a chicken goan curry. All were very nice. With service charge on top it came to a few pence over £50. The service was great, my friend couldn't handle the spice and was given a glass of milk on the house. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes food with flavour.”

  “My partner and I booked this restaurant as part of our weekend in York, and we definitely weren’t disappointed! Starting with the lovely warm welcome we received, we ordered a total of nine dishes, three of them being dessert. I could go through everything we ate and say how delicious it was, but the Piri Piri Chicken and the Orange Cake were particular highlights for us. From the service to the food to the whole experience, we would 100% recommend trying this place. Hopefully, one day we will get the chance to experience it again. 10/10!”

  “Fantastic little restaurant! The team in the kitchen are doing a lot of things right here and the staff out front are chatty and very welcoming. The 18oz ribeye was like butter and better than some steak houses. Highly recommend to anyone.”

  “Fantastic little tapas restaurant in the heart of York! Tasca Frango is located in a handy spot just at the end of the Shambles, right in the middle of York. Most of the dishes were inspired by Lisbon and the decor was based on Lisbon and Portugal in general. Great food and service with plenty of tapas dish choices. The prawns, chicken, and Christmas special pigs in blankets were particularly good. Couldn't fault any of the dishes and could easily have chosen plenty more of the varied menu. Would highly recommend a visit.”

  “Perfect. I wanted to eat something different than the chain restaurants and they didn't disappoint. Excellent food, the flavors were impeccable. The slaw had no mayo which is just like it should be, just a honey mustard dressing. The place was very clean, cozy ambiance, soft music. I definitely recommend them”

  “Ok food with a few highlights at a very costly price. Went to lunch on 11/10/25 with my girlfriend. The padron peppers were reasonably good, although they could be a little crisper and saltier. The sourdough bread was also good, but not remarkable. The piri-piri chicken was the clear highlight of the meal, the chicken was tender and moist with the skin being charred but not burned, full of great flavour. The gambas ao alho (prawns in sauce) was a mixed bag; fairly generous with the prawns but I didn’t find the sauce to my taste (advertised as garlic and chilli but was more lemon). My girlfriend really enjoyed the grilled sardines but I found them fairly average. The chargrilled steak was a lowlight; no char, lukewarm on service, sauce passable. At least the meat wasn’t overdone. The service and atmosphere were both good although not noteworthy. I like the high tables. My main problem with this meal wasn’t the food per se but the price. I paid £75 for the above and I don’t think it was worth that much. If you drink and want somewhere to get cocktails with friends then maybe Tasca Frango is a hit but for me it reinforced a long held view that I had hoped Tasca Frango would allow me to shake off; that tapas in general is a concept designed to inflict high prices on consumer and is to be avoided.”

  “Everything was amazing, the food was delicious. Lunchtime tapas deal is good value. We finished meal off with pastel de natas which were to die for. 100% would return to this place next time we’re back in York.”
