The Best Restaurants in Leeds, Offers and Events
"Once a cafe, now a fine dining destination, Fettle is a must-try if you like good food. Their cosy restaurant serves up a menu of intriguing dishes from morning until night. In the evening, you can share small plates – try the pork belly with rosemary fudge and rind popcorn or smoked akee with kimchi and cauliflower."
"Although it isn’t at the heart of the city, it isn’t far from it either. It’s located less than five minutes walk from Leeds Town Hall. This Scandinavian cafe and restaurant is a great choice for those who love organic and seasonal locally sourced ingredients."
"73 Great George St, Leeds LS1 3BRAlongside their scandi-inspired decor, Fettle has a great selection of vegan options on all their menus. Fettle serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, then open late into the night as Fine at Fettle."
"Again, this one involves eggs, especially on the daytime menu. But if that’s not a problem for you, then you will love this quirky spot. If you don’t eat eggs then you still have options and some very tasty ones too."
"Located on Micklegate, Partisan serve both breakfast and brunch. Treat yourself to French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Smashed Avocado and Melted Goats Cheese or the fabulous Partisan Breakfast."
"Famous for their spectacular pancakes – and many other yummy sweet and savoury treats. Normally it’s hard to get a table in here, so make sure to get here early (or be prepared to wait!) Currently open for click and collect or order at the door."
"They always have a great selection of cakes, brownies and pastries too. Beautiful ambience, excellent food & delicious cakes. The wonderful staff provides a first class service."
"Chef Bethany Haresign heads an all-female kitchen team at The Wild Plum, and she trained under a Michelin Starred chef, so you know you’re in good hands. Using all local Yorkshire ingredients, the team whip up dishes such as fluffy breakfast pancakes with bacon, eggs and maple syrup, butternut squash fritters, or the adorably named ‘Crumpet like it’s hot’ – homemade crumpets served with wild mushrooms, poached egg, pumpkin pesto and truffle. The décor is a botanists dream, with hanging plants and twinkly lights."
"Previously named as the most Instagrammable Brunch in Harrogate(by myself), The Wild Plum is definitely one of the best breakfast places in Harrogate, even Yorkshire, perhaps. It’s unlike anywhere else I’ve ever been to and no one I know has ever been anything other than seriously impressed after a visit there. The Wild Plum is a gorgeous café above a dress shop, Snooty Frox."
"11/06/2021: Having shopped in Snooty Frox it was really nice to be able to simply go upstairs to the cafe. The Whitby crab tart was delicious and the service excellent. Super clean ladies loos!"
"If you’re looking for the best greasy spoon in Leeds, make a beeline for Riveresque. This is a no-frills cafe on the side of Leeds Bridge where you can get a cuppa and a decent feed for a surprisingly affordable price. They have a menu of hot and cold sandwiches and salads, which are made to order, as well as soups and jacket potatoes (not to mention a Full English to start the day with)."
"Eating out at Art’s is a little like eating at the smallest gastropub you’ve ever seen. The rustic charm and dark wood panelled bar are the first thing to hit you upon entry, but take a seat and you’ll soon be charmed by the intimate space and international menu. It makes for an exciting browse, with everything from confit duck to curried cauliflower on a menu that changes every month."
"Local art on the walls and a bohemian vibe make this a popular place for quiet reflection and a really good cup of coffee. The dinner menu is a cut above your average fare, with inventive dishes such as rib-eye... Modern British in Leeds"
"At 700 acres, Roundhay Park is one of the biggest urban parks in Europe. It’s twice the size of Hyde Park in London and offers a multitude of adventures. The vast network of paths stretches beyond the landscape gardens into the woodlands where you’ll find quaint riverside rambles, picturesque gorge walks and calf-burning hikes that promise incredible views."
"This park, which is four miles northeast of Leeds city centre, offers 700 acres of parkland, lakes, woodland and gardens. If it's really cold you can warm up in the indoor Tropical World, which has butterflies, birds, reptiles and even meerkats, or the early 19th century Mansion House which has a cafe. The car park is accessible via Wetherby Road, LS8 2JZ."
"Many areas of the Yorkshire countryside look like something out of a fantasy film, and this is especially true of Brimham Rocks. The huge natural rock formations were carved into strange shapes by an ancient river and now sit prominently in the midst of the rolling hills of the Dales."
"Depending on the adventurous nature of your kids – or the nerves of mum and dad!. – make a family trip to Brimham Rocks. The National Trust managed Brimham Rocks is an elevated plateau full of rocky towers and enormous rock formations with alcoves and tiny caves for exploring."
"Brimham Rocks is one the finest natural wonders in Yorkshire. These balancing rock formations are set amidst the awe-inspiring landscape of God’s Own Country. They’ve slowly formed over thousands of years as the millstone grit has been eroded by water, glaciation and wind."
"With restaurants in Wetherby, Guiseley and Pudsey, Wetherby Whaler must be doing something right. They serve up top quality fish and chips every day of the week. If you’re a coeliac, rest assured their gluten-free batter tastes just as good as the real thing."
"Sausages, chicken goujons, or even a salad; we’re not your conventional chippie!. Posted by Wetherby Whaler on Friday, 18 September 2020. The Wetherby Whaler is a chain of fish and chip restaurant that was started by Phillip and Janine Murphy in 1969."
