Mýse

York, UK

Reasons to visit North Yorkshire don’t get tastier than Mýse, sitting pretty in the village of Hovingham, embraced by the Howardian Hills. The name is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning ‘eating at the table’ – and this timeless human ritual is given due recognition here. Concepts of Time & Place shape the 16-course tasting menus, which champion super-fresh local ingredients and produce, with some items sourced daily. Pretty-as-a-picture dishes bring creative spins to old classics, with combos to make you smile: braised ox cheek in Yorkshire pudding batter with fermented cucumber, for example, or sourdough crumpet stuffed with duck liver and ham. On Sundays, the Against the Grain menu honours the British tradition of a carnivorous weekend feast; expect the finest cuts of slow-grown and grass-fed beef, salt-aged and hand-selected for their flavour. Taking an elegant backseat to the cuisine, restrained interiors feature neutral hues, wooden furniture and bespoke ceramics. This is a restaurant with rooms, so rather than having to stagger out into the hills and trundle home, you can book into one of the three (rather lovely) bedrooms upstairs.
