York is famous for its snickelways, narrow winding passages that weave through the city’s history and transport you from one street to another. Along many, you'll find hidden gems and on the most famous snicket of them all, Finkle Street, you'll find Victor J's Bar.
Nestled inside this cosy and welcoming bar, is YoYo Street Food serving up some of the most eye catching and mouth watering street food in the city. It's fresh, tasty and a literal show stopper.
On the Menu: Our Top Picks
We decided to test out a couple of their staples, and the quality was next level.
-
The "Parmageddon" Chicken Wings: These are a cheese lover's dream. Imagine perfectly fried wings smothered in a rich, savoury parmesan-based topping. They were crispy, indulgent, and packed a serious punch of flavour.
-
Salt and Pepper Chicken Strips: These were incredibly fresh and succulent. The seasoning and toppings were balanced perfectly, not too salty, with just enough zing to keep you coming back for more.
The Street Appeal Test One of the funniest moments of our visit was watching the reaction of passersby. We were seated by the window and the food looked so vibrant that people walking down the snickelway were literally stopping in their tracks to see what was on our plates. One couple actually walked past, paused, turned around, and came straight into the pub to order for themselves.
