Best restaurants in Leeds, England
"Based in the prestigious Victoria Gate, East 59th is a New York-inspired rooftop bar and grill providing superb rooftop views of the city. We’re not surprised that it’s considered to be one of Leeds’ most loved brunch spots, with guests anticipating to experience its buzzing atmosphere and great music every weekend. Brunchers can enjoy eggs all day long, including eggs benedict, eggs royale and scrambled truffle toast."
"Celebrating the best of American dining, this New York themed bar and grill provides a stylish, contemporary space to tuck in to some delicious dishes, and if the weather is permitting, the Manhattan-style rooftop bar is a great spot to enjoy a cocktail or two.

"If you want to know where all the beautiful people of Leeds head when the sun shines, then take a trip to Angelica. Located in Trinity shopping centre, this rooftop bar and garden is the closest you’ll get to Ibiza without hopping on a plane. With panoramic views of Leeds, plush white furniture, and a stunningly curated cocktail list, Angelica brings the glamour."
"Nestled on the fifth floor of Trinity, Angelica is one of the best rooftop bars in Leeds. You can look out across the city from one of their stylish metal tables or luxurious outdoor sofas, which are all kitted out with parasols and heat lamps. Wine is what they do best."
"Steak and chips for £5 is the signature special of this multi-space eatery–a mix of food space, beer hall, gig location and sceney rooftop–where fluffy pals are not just welcomed, but are often rewarded with a starring role on Headrow’s Instagram page. The action happens over four floors, in what was previously a textile mill. Standout features include the beer hall’s collection of four tanks of unpasteurised Pilsner and 60 international beers, plus the upstairs terraces–where you can while away a relaxed evening, and your dog has space for a leg stretch when it needs it (also known as flashing puppy eyes at other people to attract more cuddles)."
"When: Headrow house is open every day till late evening but times for the restaurant do vary, so why not check out their website?. Located in a formal textile mill, Headrow House houses two roof-terraces which offer views over the Victorian Quarter, a grill restaurant, a beer hall and a live venue."
"A former textile mill and one-time grotty dive pub, the historic building that now houses Headrow House was given a hefty makeover to transform it into the four-floor nightlife venue it is today."
"Sitting on the banks of the River Aire, Water Lane Boathouse has gone to great lengths to get the best gin they can find. They have a wide range of well-known names, each of which have their own tonic and garnish. Try Pink Rives with Mediterranean tonic, strawberry and basil or Caorunn with tonic, red apple and raspberries – they’re perfect for sitting out in that impressive waterside beer garden under the sunshine."
"From the same team behind Headrow House comes Waterlane Boathouse. With canal-side views and a sprawling cobbled beer garden, there are few better places to catch the rays than this stunning spot. With a vast array of beers, wines and cocktails, and a menu of wood-fired pizzas and mouthwatering burgers."
"With a range of craft beers from all over the UK, Water Lane Boathouse knows a thing or two about ice-cold summer sips. Perched on the edge of the canal, this gorgeous space is the perfect place to soak up a few rays with a pint in hand."
"A friendly, traditional coaching inn on a main street in the centre of Pickering. Inside it's all dark wood furniture, low-slung beamed ceilings and cheerful locals with dogs propping up the bar. A smart, stone-flagged restaurant and glass-walled ‘bothy’ lend a stylish air but the overall ambience is unstuffy and relaxed."
"It is a pleasant Sunday afternoon at Quirky Ales and Monkey is starting his afternoon off with a Hip Hop. Is that wise Monkey?"
"11/06/2021: I love Lucias having been in York for many years and wanting to try Harrogate for a while. I had booked a table at the end of May when lockdown restrictions had eased. I booked for a birthday for 5 people and requested the flower room, which, on the day I found out I did not get a table in and instead was seated in a different room.In short, the entire visit was appalling unfortunately."

"If you’re in the mood for something a little different at lunchtime, why not stop in at the Brasserie Blanc?. Converted from an old Victorian mill, this restaurant not only offers a great lunch deal, but it also has a unique and comforting atmosphere. Take a seat by the water and try some classic French cooking, get two courses for £11.95 or add a third for £3.50 until 6:30 PM, Monday-Saturday."
"Soak up the unique atmosphere of Le Caveau Restaurant while in Skipton. With barrel vaulted ceilings, original beams and exposed stonework, this 16th Century building will be hard to forget. All of the eatery’s dishes are locally sourced, seasonal and made with French cooking techniques in mind."
"Thanks to the stylish decoration there's no hint that this 16th-century cellar was once a prison for sheep rustlers. It's now one of Skipton's best bistros, offering a seasonal menu built lovingly around fresh... Top ChoicePub Food in Richmond"

"Chino Latino is known to be one of the best Japanese restaurants in Leeds. They were awarded the Pan-Asian Leeds City Square Restaurant of the year. It’s near the Leeds station and is clean."
"If you’re wanting a restaurant in Leeds that offers a serious slice of theatre with your meal, then Teppanyaki will steal the show. These guys whip up traditional Japanese cuisine before your very eyes, because each table comes equipped with its own ‘teppan’ hotplate. Choose from a sumptuous selection of grilled goodies, like sticky duck teriyaki, king prawn and scallops in Tokyo butter, or a scene-stealing fillet steak with lobster tail, then watch your meal be sliced, sizzled and spun straight onto your plate."
"Teppanyaki showcases a quintessentially Japanese style of cooking which revolves around grilling. In fact, the word Teppan means Iron Hot Plate and Yaki means “to grill.” Well known for their welcoming yet sophisticated service, if you’re looking for somewhere with a social atmosphere, you could do worse than Teppanyaki. Perfect for those looking for something a little out-of-the-ordinary, their menu includes all kinds of wonderful dishes."
"Add a little theatre to your meals out with a trip to Teppanyaki. The Japanese restaurant is preparing your food right in front of your eyes, with chefs juggling, flipping and setting fire to a whole array of seafood and meat."
"What: Bold murals, wavy walls and blue lighting mark this former coach house out from the cosy establishments that dominate York’s food and drink scene, but it’s the stand-out quality of the food that we love. Inventive canapés, deliciously moreish bread and a range of starters, mains and desserts that promise to wow in every respect are what make Arras a destination for serious gastronomes. Wine enthusiasts won’t be disappointed either thanks to the impressive 200-plus bins on the carefully-crafted list (though be warned: most are only available by the bottle)."
