With fingers crossed and a healthy slug of vaccine for all, we seem now to be creeping slowly out of the strictures placed on our liberties over the last year or so and able to re-embrace what were once simple pleasures such as nipping to the neighbours for a cup of tea inside. Undoubtedly some of the new ways of thinking that have emerged in this period have advantages, and I don’t doubt that the creativity applied to outdoor dining is here to stay. I do, however, doubt its ability to weather the worst of the British climate and take great personal pleasure in being able to eat inside. With that activity now permitted again, I jumped at the chance to take a seat at Le Cochon<\/a> Aveugle and sample the latest iteration of their tasting menu.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Cochon<\/a> Aveugle has been a prominent feature of the York food scene for more than half a decade, during which time it’s won national acclaim from respected critics as well as sending chef\/owner Josh Overington to make an assured appearance on Great British Menu. The restaurant is based around multi course tasting menu that is now served in a single sitting to all guests at that service, lending proceedings the sense of an experience shared amongst all those lucky enough to be in attendance. On arrival, it’s clear that the enforced lockdown closure has not been time allowed to pass unproductively, with a new cabinet for dry ageing meat drawing the eye as you enter and striking dark decor that’s been applied since I last visited. Sensibly, no change has been made to the open kitchen arrangement that lets you admire the skill and precision of the chefs as they work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
