We were a party of 20+ who dined in the early evening in mid August 25. I had emailed with Mark, the manager, regarding the menu choices in advance
The meal was absolutely lovely. He and his staff were lovely. We had 4 young children, it was a family event and they were beautifully catered for. Amazing value for money for what we had. Definitely recommend and would go again as would others in the group

So glad we found this lovely restaurant - what a wonderful experience!
The restaurant was well furnished with interesting photography on the walls and although only a few diners at that time, the gentle music was welcome and gave atmosphere.
Lovely to see parents and children there for tea too.
A great menu with a wide range of options for all tastes, including vegetarian, vegan and very positively not just the typical narrow meal options found in many small restaurants.
Has a great cocktail and wine menu too - will try next time!
Booked a table at 5.30 before our evening at Cast theatre. Had a great meal with very attentive service throughout, nothing was too much trouble.
We had complimentary very fresh sour dough with Brie and beef/bacon dripping whilst we waited for our food. Delicious!
Freshly cooked cod for me, a large piece done to perfection and a wonderful aubergine vegetarian dish for my friend, we ordered 2 sides and were served with lovely vegetables (5 different items) all cooked perfectly and fried whole new potatoes.
We ordered Eton mess for pudding - it was amazing ? served in a large wine glass, containing lots of fruit, cream and crumbled meringue. Followed by a coffee and a tea to round off our meal. We were offered a cherry brandy liqueur too but declined.
Throughout the evening we were very well served by a lovely gentleman who was quietly attentive and anticipated our needs, he very kindly gave us a 10% discount in response to our showing the theatre tickets. Along with a discount voucher for a future visit.
Can?t believe this lovely place is so well located for the theatre, cinema, museum, office and civic buildings too.
A fantastic meal and a great experience throughout
Thank you so much City Restaurant and see you again soon!

A marvellous hidden gem. Truly pan-European food based, for me, on wonderful Polish mixture of umami, pickled foods and even smoked flavours. Lovely people running it and the atmosphere is beautifully 70s/80s immediately post-liberation.

I've eaten in some exceptional restaurants across the UK and the world, it's heartwarming to know we have the level of quality and passion for food in Doncaster. I was highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

What a find! Visited with friends who have been before and I was really impressed. The food was lovely and the drink selection really varied. I particularly loved the smalec served with bread as a starter. Definitely recommend the place for something different, but delicious. Potato pancakes were just like my Prussian born grandmother used to make x
