Ambiente Tapas is an independent tapas restaurant and sherry bar with five sites across Yorkshire. Our Fossgate site is more than at home on York’s destination street for discerning diners. We have been delighting regulars & newcomers alike with the city’s favourite tapas since 2014.
With a contemporary, stripped-back industrial feel, you’ll find a spacious, stylish and energetic restaurant with an open-theatre kitchen on the ground floor.
Whether you’re coming in for a relaxing lunch or with a group of friends on a Friday night, expect a vibrant and welcoming dining experience. At Ambiente, our interest in sherry is all encompassing.
We write our menus around it, we send staff out to Jerez to get a feel for it and the local culture, we even employ our very own Sherry Educator in our Group General Manager, Rob Scott-South.
Our wine list is full of dry sherry from some of the most prominent sherry producers in the Sherry Triangle including Bodegas Gonzalez Byass, Bodegas Barbadillo and Bodegas Lustau.
For those looking to try different styles of dry sherries or discover where their tastes lie, we offer Sherry Flights that offers a taste of three different sherries.
