"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."

"Hidden away at the edge of Woodhouse Moor, La Besi is a charming, family-run Italian eatery in Leeds, packed full of your favourite traditional dishes. Pizza and pasta is the order of the day, from Cannelloni to the Napoli pizza, but they have a fair selection of secondi piatti too, including Beef Stroganoff, Pollo Picante and Salmone Fillet. It’s unlicensed, so feel free to bring your own bottle of wine for a cheap alternative to the other Italians in the city."

"La Besi is the definition of cheap and cheerful Italian cuisine, a takeaway restaurant where the price truly defies the taste. It’s like getting home-cooked Italian food delivered to your door – pizza and pasta is what they do best, whether you’re ramming your fork into a cannelloni or grabbing a slice of the Al Capone, topped with ham, salami and pepperoni. Fancy something bigger?"

"Budget restaurants in Leeds don’t get much better than La Besi. If you’re looking for a substantial feed that’ll leave you stuffed with change to spare, it’s an excellent choice. This family style Italian eatery dishes up all your favourites like Canneloni, Italian Meatball Linguine and Lasagne, as well as a range of pizzas, all under £11."

"As the name implies, York’s Merchant Adventurers were merchants. They traded along the English coast, northern Europe and sometimes as far as the Baltic and Iceland, bringing back an assortment of desired goods to York. The city was an important river port and the wealthiest city in Northern England, second only to London for most of the Middle Ages, allowing the merchants to make enough money to build the Hall between 1357 and 1361."

"Merchant Adventurers’ Hall on Fossgate is one of the finest medieval guild halls in existence. A fascinating museum also available for weddings and events (great vintage fairs take place here), the venue’s centrepiece is the Great Hall where medieval merchants once gathered. A collection on display inside includes a range of fine silver, paintings and furniture."

"The Merchant Adventurers’ Hall is a museum, wedding and hospitality venue, regularly hosting vintage and wedding fairs.

"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. Since 1970, it’s been home to the University Art Collection, which features ceramics, photographs and sculpture. That’s not all – you can see an incredible selection of British and European paintings, drawings and prints from 17th century to the present day."

"Tharavadu is a Malayalam word which roughly translates into “keeping traditions alive”. This is the idea that is at the very heart of this ever popular south Indian inspired restaurant.
