That's the question we posed to our readers, and we were flooded with responses.
Today, York is known for its ever-changing restaurant scene.
And that means many restaurants we once loved no longer exist.
Do you remember the places you used to go and what your favorite meal was?
We'd love to know – please share your memories in the comments section below. If you have photos, we would love to see them.
Meanwhile, here are some of York's favorite restaurants that are no longer here, but are your old favorites on the list?
