A York restaurant is celebrating after being awarded two AA Rosettes.
Asian-Mediterranean fusion fine dining restaurant 1711 is the venue which has been honoured. Based at the five-star historic Judge’s Lodging hotel on Lendal, 1711, secured the coveted accolade following a rigorous inspection by AA experts.
Led by Philippine-born head chef, Marlon Sanchez – previously at Michelin-starred restaurant The Black Swan at Oldstead – the bijou venue creates modern cuisine with an Asian twist and rich Mediterranean flavours. The two AA Rosette came for 1911’s excellence, outstanding service, precision and high attention to detail, solidifying its position as one of York’s leading restaurants.

Praised in particular for its ‘interesting new concept’, AA experts recognised the menu for celebrating ‘Marlon’s identity and ethos well’, together with ‘precision’ and an ‘obvious attention to the selection of quality ingredients.’
Marlon said: “York’s food scene is constantly evolving and 1711 delivers a unique food offering by blending ingredients from Yorkshire all the way to Asia to create the rich fusion cuisine that I am so passionate about. The entire kitchen and front of house teams have worked exceptionally hard for this accolade so we’re extremely thankful for the recognition, especially so soon after 1711’s opening just five-months-ago.”
Following the latest assessment, the Judge’s Lodging’s second restaurant, Cellar Bar, has also retained its one Rosette. Nik Haywood, general manager at The Judge’s Lodging, added: “This is a fantastic achievement and is testament to the team’s commitment to producing exceptional food for our guests, alongside authentic Yorkshire hospitality. We’re excited to see what the future holds and will continue to focus on creating a unique and memorable experience which keeps guests coming back time and time again.”
