The Northern Monk Refectory is set to open in the building which previously housed Forage, in Little Stonegate, following York Council’s approval of the Leeds-based craft brewery’s plans.
In a social media post announcing the plans earlier this year, Northern Monk said they were honoured to be opening their new venue in one of their favourite cities.
It follows the closure of Forage in June last year.
The restaurant said on Facebook their business was no longer viable in the current economic climate.
York’s Northern Monk Refectory will join those the brewery opened in Leeds in 2014 and in Manchester in 2018.
The company also opened its first food hall, The Northern Market, in Leeds last year.
Plans for the York venue show a bar area with seating on the ground floor and in the basement, with kitchens and seating for 54 diners on the first floor.
