Guests can enjoy al fresco dining from the delicious US-themed menu, along with indulgent brunches, and bask in an authentic taste of New York in the heart of Leeds. Visit: 46 Victoria Street, LS2 7AU"

"The plant-covered roof terrace at East 59th is stunning with incredible south-facing views that look out over the city’s skyline. Temperature isn't an issue either as they have heat lamps and blankets to keep you warm until closing time. Expect a menu of hundreds of cocktails and even some classic American grub."

"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)."

"Overlooking the River Aire at Granary Wharf, Water Lane Boathouse is one of the best alfresco dining spots in Leeds. It’s great when the sun’s shining, but don’t worry, they have heaters and covered seating too. Their menu takes a two-pronged approach – Neapolitan-style sourdough pizza, made in a hand-crafted Italian oven, and juicy burgers, stacked high with everything from Yorkshire beef to Magic Mountains vegan patties."

"What: If you don't mind drifting out of the city centre a bit and over the river, Water Lane Boathouse is well worth the walk. Sitting right on the waterfront in Holbeck, it's home to one of Leeds' biggest beer gardens and serves a number of different craft beers from various local breweries. If the idyllic location and drinks menu wasn't enough already, there's also a mouthwatering pizza and burger menu on offer her."

"Having first opened its doors in Chapel Allerton over 15 years ago, it’s the result of the passion and dedication of former Bangkok street food sensation Ban Kaewkraikhot. Although the original Chapel Allerton restaurant is still a flourishing culinary destination, they’ve since opened another restaurant nearer to the city centre (and a few more across Yorkshire.). Sukhothai is well regarded for both their service and their food, with an extensive and finely tuned menu of exquisite Thai dishes, which are as aromatic in smell as they are in flavour."

"If you’ve got adventurous eaters in your fold, Sukhothai is a top choice for trying out new flavours. The Leeds city centre restaurant (there are venues in Chapel Allerton and Headingley too) has a solid reputation for cooking up delicious Thai dishes, but did you know they serve up a decent children’s menu too?. Here, little ones can choose from their own list of smaller-portioned classic dishes, ranging from Satay Gai to Pad Thai."

"Sukhothai offers an all you can eat buffet at their Chapel Allerton restaurant on Sunday afternoons. You can indulge in all manner of delicious Thai delicacies for a bargain price. They serve up a medley of dishes, ranging from lemongrass-battered prawns and spring rolls to Thai curries, noodles and stir-fries – all you need to do is keep going back for more."

"It has five different spaces on offer to guests, one of which is their incredible, and lesser-known, rooftop terrace. The terrace also stays open until 4 am, making it the perfect place to spend the early hours of the morning after a heavy night drinking. The bar on the terrace is fairground-themed, too, and you have to access it via a funky potting shed."

"At Skyreholme near the village of Appletreewick in Wharfedale, Parcevall Hall is a Grade II* listed manor house with 24 acres of stunning landscaped gardens that are perfect for picnics. The gardens are one of the most peaceful places to visit in the Yorkshire Dales."

"Within the tranquil grounds, visitors will find many facets of the garden: woodland walks, formal areas, south facing terraces, a limestone rock garden and a beautiful rose garden."

But the interior’s not the only reason to drop by – it’s also one of the only all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants in Leeds. Fill your boots with all the maki, nigiri, gunkan, uramaki, temaki and torched sushi you can manage."
