Drinking and nightlife in Leeds, England
"Fettle is a brilliant find if you’re looking for somewhere to have brunch in Leeds. On the weekend, the Scandinavian-inspired cafe has a special all-day menu that bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch. You’ve got classics like their full English breakfast, but the veggie alternative is arguably even better – you’ll get slices of halloumi or tofu, a free-range egg cooked your way and sourdough toast, served with beautifully seasoned wilted spinach, mixed beans, confit tomatoes and a flat mushroom."
"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."
"Cosy cafe by day, fine-dining dynamo by night, Fettle is full of surprises. Over the years, it’s blossomed into one of the best restaurants in Leeds. Brunch is an all-day affair with a refined menu of daytime favourites."
"This little gem is one of York’ most recent entries in The Good Food Guide 2019. Owned and managed by a husband and wife team who are as passionate about the ingredients used in their food as they are about the final results, a visit to Partisan will exceed all expectations. Located on the beautiful Micklegate, Partisan is a cafe by day and a restaurant by night."
"Run by Argentinian Florencia Clifford and her farmer husband Hugo, Partisan serves international food like ceviche, Persian breakfast eggs and beef bibimbap. It’s furnished by an antiques dealer and everything you see is for sale, which means the décor changes subtly each visit. Dinner is served three nights a week."
"09/05/2021: Had breakfast here a couple of times while staying in York. Absolutely fantastic food and great service. Best gluten free bread I have had and the cakes also great."
"As the name suggest, Brew & Brownie make an abundance of different flavoured brownies. I must have sampled about 4 of them during my time in York, and even stopped by before I caught the train home so that I could enjoy a little treat on the journey!. And if you’re not a brownie lover, never fear!"
"Cafe serving both breakfast and brunch with a variety of coffee, loose leaf teas and cakes. Chocolate survival boxes, coffee and Afternoon teas available for collection and delivery. Bakeshop open Monday-Sunday 9-4 and Cafe open Monday-Sunday 9:30-4."
"We combine our expertise on nutrition with our passion for good food. Our food is healthy but delicious, because we know it’s important for food to tastes as good as it looks!. Special Diets : Vegetarian Friendly, Gluten Free Options, Vegan Options"
"This restaurant-café, based between our City and Headingley campuses, has an excellent variety of food on offer. They do their best to make their Middle Eastern and Mediterranean style meals suitable for everyone, regardless of dietary requirement. Like any good café they have coffee, but they also have a great selection of teas and herbal teas too."
"Inside the warm and bright La Cafetiere, you’ll find a menu packed with veggie and vegan options. Their menu is Mediterranean, and their food is delicious. You’ll be spoiled for choice here, with vegan options ranging from vegan pizza to falafel wraps, with a whole world of yumminess in between."
"These days, My Thai has a couple of openings spread out across the city centre; the all-action communal-style benches of the Merrion Street one make for the best atmosphere, one that wouldn’t look out of place in the street food markets of Bangkok. The Penang comes well recommended (it’s our favourite) and you can partner it with a selection of light bates for a couple of quid each. They’ve even partnered up with Deliveroo, so you don’t even have to leave the sofa."
"You would assume that the Best Restaurant in Leeds (as judged by the British Restaurant Awards) would be a pricy affair, but My Thai offers surprisingly affordable food in its two Leeds addresses. Most of the main dishes come in at under a tenner with starters and sides also reasonably priced. Step out of your comfort zone and try one of their more unusual dishes and leave feeling fully satisfied in terms of flavour and portion sizes."
"Sometimes it can be hard to find eating establishments that you want to try while you’re abroad. You don’t always know what to expect, or whether you can trust an establishment while looking at it. My Thai Leeds is one of the most intimate restaurants you could go to, seating around 25 people."
"When sometimes only a fry up will do, head to Fountains Coffee House in Bradford’s Oastler Market. A Bradford institution, Fountains has been serving up breakfasts for over 50 years. Think sausage, egg, chips and beans with a mug of tea on the side."
"Having practiced the art of baking for six decades, the Gilchrist family know how to make the most delicious artisan breads, cakes and pies. From Cornish pasties and pork pies to fruit tea cake, currant slices and treacle tarts, there’s always something here to satisfy both savoury and sweet lovers alike. Visit: 379 Harehills Lane, LS9 6AP"
"Rarely does one come across a church with so much personality. The 15th century building, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the town, has a marvellous architectural design. The Goodramgatearea comprises of some of York’s oldest structures."
"Tucked away behind an inconspicuous gate and seemingly cut off from the rest of the town, the Church of the Holy Trinity is a fantastically atmospheric old building, having survived almost unchanged for the past..."
"Our Italian restaurant serves tasty, authentic dishes from pizza, pasta and risotto to salads and indulgent desserts – all in a uniquely designed restaurant. Our Italian menu also includes Vegan and Vegetarian options and we also offer takeaway on Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats. 2 Lendal, York, YO1 8AA"
