27 of the best restaurants in Leeds
"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."
"The authenticity of the dishes from Wen’s Restaurant is what keeps the customers coming back. This takeaway has also received praise for its levels of spicing, as there is enough to make the food tasty without one spice overpowering another."
"This is your chance to try authentic Chinese dishes that rarely make it to these shores. Have you ever tried shredded potatoes covered in glugs of fiery chilli oil?. Or tucked into a whole sea bass stuffed with minced pork and chilli sauce?"
"This east Leeds Chinese has an army of fans who simply can't get enough of Rice Paper's "perfect food". A recent review said: "I've struggled for over ten years to find a Chinese takeout in England that was half decent. "Got to the point that I gave up trying and accepted they were all average [but I] tried Rice Paper last night and we ordered the Deluxe menu for 2 to try a bit of everything."
"A family run affair – Rice Paper Cantonese is a local classic found in LS15, a little away from the city centre. However, it gets a place on this roundup because of its glistening reputation and the wonderful, indulgent Cantonese food that it produces. One to put on the list if you’re looking to indulge, there’s a good mix in terms of Westernised favourites and authentic home cooking."
"Customers say that they receive excellent service, as the staff is friendly and the food is served quickly. Rice Paper is both a restaurant and a takeaway, and it has built an outstanding reputation for the quality of the food. Customers also note that the portion sizes are good."
"We have pizza there as a takeaway during lockdown and it is excellent. Once it opened up we went for an evening meal. It was wonderful again, I had chicken Milanese and my wife had pizza both incredible."
"Cafe indulge have a designated little play room with a few toys for the little people the building also has a few other things going on in it such as: climbing wall, art, and gymnastics. There is also a playroom with toys and the food is lovely, bright and clean."
"The Station House Garforth is a true taste of traditional Italian!. With southern Italian inspired dishes based on secret family recipes its not one to be missed!. They are offering pizza and pasta for takeaway and are open Monday -Tuesday:5pm-8pm and Wednesday to Saturday 12pm-8pm, so be sure to check out their great menu!"
"It’s a straight-forward kebab shop, with a traditional menu. You can choose from doner, chicken, seekh and lamb shish – they’ll stuff it in a pitta or pile it on chips before sprinkling it with salad and smothering it in sauce. But if that isn’t your bag, you can also tuck into a menu of burgers, pizza and chicken."
"Because it’s less than 100 kilometers away, York is an excellent destination for a day trip from Manchester. The city was founded way back in Roman times, so it has a rich history and loads of things to see. The view from its impressive city walls will leave you speechless, and you certainly must see York Minster. Apart from those, there are plenty medieval monuments left from the age when the Normans ruled here."
"Day 10, 11 & 12 – Kendal, Lakes District & Yorkshire Dales Drive: It’s just 1.5 hours drive to Kendal so feel free to spend the morning continuing to explore Liverpool before heading north after lunch."
"York Theatre Royal has been producing great drama in the beautiful city of York for over 270 years and is one of the country’s leading producing theatres. Each year the theatre entertains over 200,000 people with its wide variety of performances, events and activities including the much-loved annual pantomime starring Berwick Kaler, the UK’s longest-running Dame."
"The York Theatre Royal was built in 1744 on the site of the medieval St. Leonard’s Hospital. Parts of the old hospital can still be seen, including archways and walls. Under the stage lies a well, which is believed to be from the Roman era."
