Best Dinner Places to Eat in Birkin

"Imagine, you’re sat up at the top of the Trinity Centre in a room surrounded by glass windows at night, with a cocktail in your hand and a beautiful panoramic view of the whole city. That’s what you’ll find in Angelica. Mixing modern day architecture and a pewter bar with a bright and airy design they act as one of the best cocktail destinations in Leeds."

"You probably know Angelica best as a gorgeous rooftop cocktail bar, but you'd be missing out if you didn't check out some of the edible delights that are on offer here. Gaze over the city as you enjoy Josper-grilled steaks, decadent burgers, whole lobsters and more."

"With a wrap around terrace and panoramic city views, Angelica is a real show-stopper. Relax in a luxurious setting with a cocktail prepared by one of their skilled mixologists. What better way to spend a summer’s day?"

"Steak and chips for £5 is the signature special of this multi-space eatery–a mix of food space, beer hall, gig location and sceney rooftop–where fluffy pals are not just welcomed, but are often rewarded with a starring role on Headrow’s Instagram page. The action happens over four floors, in what was previously a textile mill. Standout features include the beer hall’s collection of four tanks of unpasteurised Pilsner and 60 international beers, plus the upstairs terraces–where you can while away a relaxed evening, and your dog has space for a leg stretch when it needs it (also known as flashing puppy eyes at other people to attract more cuddles)."

"There's a lot worth eating at Headrow House's resident restaurant, Ox Club, but you've not really lived until you've eaten their signature wood-fired steak & chips whilst sampling the wares of the Beer Hall. There's just something about eating possibly the best steak of your life from a takeaway box that feels both dirty and decadent at the same time."

"Belgrave's sister bar Headrow House has one of the biggest outdoor terraces in Leeds, set over two floors. It offers stunning views over the rooftops of the city."

"A Michelin Guide judge described Crafthouse, in Trinity Leeds, as: "A bright, chic restaurant in the Trinity shopping centre, with great rooftop views and a wraparound terrace. Creative, elaborate dishes showcase a huge array of ingredients. The open kitchen and marble counter take centre stage. Start with a cocktail in all-day Angelica."

"There was much fanfare when Trinity Leeds, the immense shopping centre, opened in 2013. Housing many chain restaurants, there is one establishment, however, that stands out from the rest. On the 5th floor, you can find the award-winning Crafthouse: a restaurant that has quickly forged an impressive reputation for fine dining in Leeds."

"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."

"If you’re having a bit of dull, bad day, you should absolutely consider stopping by Bill’s for lunch. Not only do they have a great deal, but you’ll feel yourself relax as soon as you sit down, and the food isn’t half bad either. Order two courses for £11.95, three for £13.95 between noon and 7 PM, Monday-Friday."

"When it comes to eating out with the kids, Bill’s is a no brainer. In the morning, they do everything from pancakes drizzled in syrup to a bitesize full English, but it’s dinner time when they really come into their own. Feast on hearty classics like fish fingers, sausage and mash or a good old mac ’n’ cheese."

"Fuji Hiro is one of Leeds worst-kept foodie secrets; tucked behind the Merrion Centre, they're renowned for serving up authentic Japanese food in giant portions. Naturally, it's all great, but the yakisoba is my stand out favourite from the menu."

"This Japanese restaurant is clean and the staff are friendly. If you are a meat-lover, try the chicken katsu curry, mackerel bento box and spicy beef gyozas. They are all delicious!"

"In a city with the biggest student population outside of London, it would be absurd for the prevailing university culture not to have some influence on the art scene. Housed within the University of Leeds campus in the Grade II listed Art Deco Parkinson Building, The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery showcases a mix of contemporary art as well as works from the university’s special collections department spanning over 200 years. The gallery expectedly supports and promotes its students’ and its graduates’ work, in addition to displays from local artists and those from further afield."

"You don’t have to be a student to enjoy the art of The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds.
