21 Leeds restaurants which would never get a Michelin star but we love anyway
"New kids on the block and another reliably run family business. Wen’s are known for their handmade, pan-fried dumplings and bustling evening service. If you are looking for a personal Chinese dining experience be sure to check out our client Little Yellow Rice Co, for their Peranakan, Chinese-Malay supper club events at Littleyellowriceco.uk"
"Many of the reviews for Wen's praise the restaurant's "authentic" dishes which have proved to be a high hit. One man left a glowing review after his first visit. He said: "Flavour was great throughout; rich and rewarding, but with enough subtleties to keep things delicate - my lamb had a well-judged level of chilli, and was lean and moist."
"Wens is a new addition to Leeds’ dining scene, and they have already made the mark with tourists, locals, even a famous critic. Taking over Hansa’s North street space, Wens specialise in authentic family Chinese cooking. The Dan Dan noodles, dumplings, and Kung Po Chicken are all musts."
"05/04/2021: Have been looking for a good Chinese for a while, and hopefully we have found it at last. The food was really good and delivery was really quick. Will certainly be using them again."
"413 Trinity Leeds, Albion Street, Leeds LS1 5AYCarluccio’s have an extensive vegan menu, so you can enjoy Antonio Carluccio’s authentic regional Italian food in the heart of Leeds."
"They’re the light, fluffy American variety and you can get three or five, depending on your appetite. There are two toppings to choose from – go fruity with banana, strawberries and blueberries or try the American-style smoked streaky bacon with syrup. If you visit between 21st February 2020 and 1st March 2020, you’ll have even more options, with unusual eats like sweetcorn pancakes, poached eggs, feta and avocado."
"Bill’s is housed in the beautiful Albion Place near Trinity Leeds shopping centre. It’s spread across two floors and breakfast is served until 11.30am. The toasted sourdough with hummus, smashed avocado, spinach, roasted plum tomatoes, mushrooms and mixed seeds is a stand-out vegan dish."
"Contemporary European chain dishing up separate breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch and dinner menus. Lovely atmosphere with attentive and friendly staff. Reviews say this is the place to go in Leeds on a Sunday after a heavy weekend around the pubs."
"Their breakfast/brunch menu is completely unique, with fresh fruit chia puddings, banana, blueberry and almond loaves, rissoles, frittatas and crumpets. Not ideal if you’re after a bit of bacon, but having tried their Tofu Nourish Bowl on their lunch menu, I can vouch for the food here. OPENING HOURS: Breakfast/brunch is served until 12pm"
"Offering take away or eat in service, Goji’s is a repeatedly tried and tested favourite of mine. As an added benefit you will be supporting a local York company with your custom. I highly recommend the Goji hot dog and the fruit crumble with oat cream."
"Goji Café is a vegetarian café and deli, just off the main square in York. They aim to bring you colourful, joyful and life-enhancing treats. The cafe is the place to meet with friends or work on your laptop."
"The Chopping Block serves traditional French food and is the creation of chef proprietor “Michael Hjort, the founder and owner of Melton’s, one of York’s leading fine dining restaurants. The A la Carte menu is about carefully prepared food with real flavour and authenticity using Yorkshire produce and Michael’s favourite recipes. In addition there are daily specials, a great value set menu and homemade bar snacks served in the Ale House below the restaurant."
"Offering freshly prepared English dishes using high-quality Yorkshire produce, Walmgate Ale House & Bistro is a quaint and cosy venue offering a generous range of brunch dishes for those with hearty appetites. With dishes such as bacon and free range egg on toast, stacks of pancakes with berries and syrup, as well as the traditional and well-loved full English breakfasts, Walmgate Ale House & Bistro is sure to satisfy a variety of tastes."
