The Best Cafes in Leeds
"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."
"Fettle is a slice of Scandinavian serenity in the heart of the city and it’s the perfect place to while away the hours with a coffee. They serve Limini coffee from Cleckheaton, and each cup, whether you go for an espresso, cappuccino or latte, is made with a double shot for a deeper, darker flavour. They also serve Sandows’ renowned cold brew coffee for something different, and you can tuck into a range of tasty Scandi-inspired morsels."
"Fine dining from morning until night, Fettle has come a long way since its days as a Scandi cafe. They serve beautifully crafted dishes using handpicked and always sustainable produce. By day, they’ll introduce you to new brunch favourites, like their Bokkeumbap, a delicious mix of pork belly and kimchi fried rice with an oh-so-oozy fried egg."
"Just down the street from The Lawrance on Micklegate, you’ll find Partisan, an independent family run café and restaurant. Supporting local suppliers and independent producers, Partisan cooks everything to order using fresh ingredients for their rustic, modern British menu. They serve a variety of dishes and work hard to cater to vegans and vegetarians with inventive dishes."
"We are an independent speciality coffee shop/restaurant situated in York’s most elegant street. We have an all day Breakfast/Brunch menu and a few lunch dishes. We cook everything to order using the best quality fresh ingredients."
"Relax, eat and drink in the stylish, contemporary interior that is Brew and Brownie. Located opposite the Museum Gardens, this coffee shop in York is a very popular destination for coffee and brunch alike. So popular, in fact, that they have opened a second premises just a few doors down – B&B Bakeshop."
"The Yorkshire Wrap Company will give you one of their giant Yorkshire puddings and stuff it with goodies, before you chow down on it like a burrito. You can have roast beef, red cabbage, onion and horseradish or roast pork, sage and onion stuffing with apple & mustard sauce. If you get there early doors, they’ve even got a full English one for you to try."
"You can gorge on the ultimate Yorkshire pudding at the Yorkshire Wrap Co. They’ve transformed the humble pud into a deliciously filling roast dinner wrap. Load yours with slow cooked beef, red cabbage and horseradish or roast pork, stuffing and apple sauce, before it’s finished with lashings of gravy and wrapped up in a freshly made Yorkshire."
"When to go: For brunch and go early, they’ll be a queue but its so worth the wait. What to have: The American style pancake stacks are what dreams are made of. We love the banana, caramel sauce and candied hazelnut version."
"Serving up freshly prepared dishes using locally sourced ingredients, this will hit the spot for all your brunch needs. Currently operating a takeaway service."
"You may have heard of The Ivy restaurant in London; the one in York is very similar and offers luxury food in an opulent setting. Located right next to Betty’s in St. Helen’s Square, The Ivy has become the trendy new place to eat in York. While it’s certainly not the most affordable place to eat in York, you will find a vast range of incredible dishes here, including yummy starters and rich, chocolatey desserts!"
"Based a matter of minutes away from the River Ouse in the charming North Yorkshire city of York, this outpost of the Ivy offers everything you’ve come ..."
"This coffee house is incredibly popular amongst the people of Leeds, so popular in fact you may have a small wait to get a table and a coffee. But rest assured, this family run coffee shop is impeccably trained and that latte leaf will be completed to perfection. Not only that, but the interior design is lovingly hand selected to reflect what they feel is important both gastronomically and aesthetically, creating a vintage chic heaven."
"A post shared by Martha Gregory (@expatgirlabroad) on Feb 15, 2017 at 7:19am PST. This independent coffee shop is a great spot for a quality brew. There are two speciality vegan cakes on the menu, but make sure you request them on your visit, as they aren’t always on display."
"Based five miles away from the city centre, Village Hotel Leeds North is the perfect spa hotel in Leeds for those who don’t want to be directly in the heart of the bustling city atmosphere. This Leeds spa has everything you need in one place, we’re talking a pub & grill, gym, spa and of course amazing rooms. Take a dip in the heated swimming pool or unwind in the steam room during your stay, then get some rest in your room with premium bedding, a flat screen tv and even Wi-Fi."
"This modern hotel is located in the suburb of Headingley, roughly midway between the city centre and Leeds-Bradford International Airport. It has a certain blandness in terms of décor and atmosphere, but balances this with extensive health facilities including a large swimming pool and a superb gym."

These guys whip up traditional Japanese cuisine before your very eyes, because each table comes equipped with its own ‘teppan’ hotplate.
