DINERS are being given the chance to go around the world in 80 dishes at a cafe-bar and bistro.

The menus at Melton's Too in Walmgate, York will go on a cook's tour of the globe from today. For each day until January 21 there will be eight new dishes on offer, from starters through to desserts.

Among the countries featured in the culinary journey are Chile, Thailand and Australia, plus a few English and Scottish favourites.

Chef proprietor Michael Hjort said: "It is an opportunity to add interest and value at what is traditionally a quiet time of year. It's also a great challenge for staff at a time when they have been serving nothing but turkey for Christmas parties for the past month."
