Belgian Speciality Coffee House and Shop La Place Verte has been bringing the true Continental Café experience to the riverside of York since August 2006. The Old Motor and Toll House of Skeldergate Bridge in the idyllic location of Tower Gardens, gives the customers of the coffee house splendid views of Clifford’s Tower and the river Ouse. The coffee house was closely followed by the Belgian speciality shop upstairs in the toll collection office in December 2006, offering our own exclusive range of hand-made Belgian chocolates and a large range of Belgian beers, glassware and gift packs. We are also launching a new range of Chinese teas under the name of Lu Lin in 2008! La Place Verte The Motor House Skeldergate Bridge York YO1 9WJ 01904 677005 info@laplaceverte.co.uk
