I made a promise to myself that, in my last year of university, I would visit all the places in York that I have always said I would go to. After over two years of walking past Me and Mrs. Fisher, ogling at the decor and delicious menu, I finally went in.
My friend Alexandra, who has also always wanted to pop in here, informed me that they had recently updated their menu, making all the food they serve either vegetarian or vegan. As a lactose intolerant (who really doesn't know, or stick to, her limits) I was incredibly excited to have a meal that I could enjoy without stomach ache inducing consequences.
The way they have chosen to style this place is honestly encapsulating, it has such a great vibe. With calming, retro tunes, cosy sofas and ambient lighting, this couldn't be a better place to grab a bite to eat, bask in the warmth of the cool, Autumn sun and enjoy the Minster views. Which is exactly what we did.
After a long morning of lectures, with another few hours to go, I couldn't wait to shake myself up with a hot coffee and something filling. I chose a double shot cappuccino, with Alexandra similarly opting for a latte. It is so nice to go to an eaterie that offers more than one kind of dairy-free milk option, and with Oat being my favourite, this was such a great pick me up.
They had such an extensive menu, filled with absolutely delicious sounding veggie/vegan options, it was so hard to choose. I ultimately favoured the tomato, basil and avocado sandwich on sourdough over everything. Served with a green salad garnish and salted crisps, it was truly delicious! They also had a special of vegan macaroni cheese which Alexandra liked the sound of, by the looks of her clean plate I'm assuming it was just as tasty.
Enjoying a good catch-up and the chilled out atmosphere of Me and Mrs Fisher, we snuck in one last coffee, and a slice of chocolate and banana cake, before scarpering off to our lecture.
All in all, this was a totally worthwhile trip and I would 100% recommend a visit. I'm sure this is the kind of place that everyone can appreciate, vegan or not.
