Best Dinner Places to Eat in Hartwith Hill

"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."

"Trinity Leeds, Albion Street, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 5ER. Boasting panoramic views of the city, this sixth-floor D&D-owned restaurant/bar was made for celebrating. Swanky modern interiors go hand-in-hand with a menu full of international favourites spanning brunch to dinner."

"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?"

"Housed in a former textile mill, Headrow House has been transformed into a vibrant food and drink destination with three floors and two impressive rooftop terraces. The Redondo Beach cocktail bar boasts a variety of original concoctions to try and leads out onto a large outdoor space which features a kitchen and bar. On the floor above sits Kennedy Meadows, a terraced area overlooking the Victoria Quarter, Kirkgate Market and Victoria Gate."

"When it comes to alfresco dining and sunshine drinks, the team behind Headrow House, Belgrave, et al, have most definitely raised the bar, quite literally. Their rooftop ‘beer garden’ is one of the go-to destinations when the sun makes an appearance. With a stellar selection of craft beers and cocktails together with 2020’s foodie revelation ‘Spitz Kebabs’ from Ox Club."

"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."

"When the Trinity Leeds shopping centre opened in 2013, it brought with it a wealth of eateries and shops. On the fifth floor you can find the award-winning Crafthouse, which stands above the rest. Whilst enjoying the delicious menu and the vast array of accompanying wines, diners can also revel in the splendour of the amazing views across the city."

"Level 5, Trinity Leeds, 70 Boar Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 6HW. Fantastic views of the city are yours for the taking at this modern British restaurant in the heart of Leeds. Part of London-based D&D group, Crafthouse is popular for its smoky Josper-grilled steaks and native lobsters."

"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."

"Encouraging guests to eat, drink and be merry, Fettle is known for its passion for bringing together good food and great company. Brunchers can enjoy a relaxing and organic experience whilst absorbing the picturesque surroundings of Great George Street. This Scandinavian inspired cafe is proud to support its local community in every way possible, serving quality food that has been locally sourced."

"Fettle is a local favourite in Leeds thanks to its yummy food and charming Scandinavian-style décor. Their brunch menu has dishes from across the globe and plenty of options for us meat-free folk to tuck into, while their smaller evening menu also has several veggie-friendly options. If you’re after a calming atmosphere and some delicious food, then get booked in here now."

"Playing host to several bars and restaurants on this now pedestrianised walkway, Greek Street is the best beer garden in Leeds for when you can’t decide which bar to visit. Take your pick from Manahatta, All Bar One, The Lost & Found and more, with all venues offering outdoor space. The electric atmosphere when Greek Street busies up in the warm weather isn’t to be missed."

"Thought that The Alchemist was just the destination for bubbling drinks and dry ice?. Think again, because this Trinity gem also happens to be one of the best restaurants with heated outdoor seating in Leeds. Head to the plush terrace for quirky brunches, stylish mains and plenty more."

"One of the city's coolest cocktail bars is also boasting some pretty impressive views over Leeds. The Alchemist - Trinity has got 'sun downer' written all over it; head out to their outdoor terrace to watch the sunset as you slurp their insanely theatrical mix of concoctions."

"When to go: When you get off the train to York with hangry children in tow. What to have: If it’s Sunday, go for a roast, if not, their roasted corn-fed chicken with creamed potato, wild mushrooms and soft herbs is the next best thing. Standing right by York train station, within the Grade II listed Principal Hotel, sits the AA Rosette-awarded Refectory Kitchen."

"The Refectory Kitchen is well known for its commitment to serving scrumptious seasonal dishes. Their Yorkshire Terrier ale-battered haddock to name but one!. The adjoining Chapter House Bar and terrace must not be missed either, serving an impressive selection of wines, spirits, and ales."

"Local produce gets a Mediterranean makeover at this bright and breezy bistro. Classic pizza and pasta dishes are complemented by more ambitious recipes such as crayfish and chorizo risotto, and Moroccan lamb..."

"This historic Leeds landmark is one of the most intact examples of a medieval Cistercian abbey in the UK. Aside from the ruins themselves, which you’re free to explore, there are 24 hectares of parkland here, so pack a picnic and find a spot next to the scenic River Aire. Visit on the last weekend of the month and you can also make the most of Kirkstall Abbey Deli Market, which offers a delectable mix of street food and fresh local produce."

"Grade I listed Kirkstall Abbey sits in leafy grounds and offers a snapshot into the lives of the monks who resided there. Entry to the dramatic ruins is free through the visitor centre, which illustrates the history of the abbey, which was surrendered to Henry VIII during the dissolution of the monasteries. The abbey grounds also host regular farmers markets, open cinema events and Christmas fairs."

"The much-loved Wheatley Arms (which was saved from demolition by local residents) is a dog-friendly pub with rooms near the pretty Yorkshire spa town of Ilkley. The hotel opened in the mid-19th century as a coach house to serve the new Ben Rhydding Hydropathic Centre (since demolished), and the gabled, stone-built hotel has a homely, lived-in feel with big bay windows, Inglenook fireplaces and reupholstered furniture picked up at auctions. The hotel’s 12 individually designed rooms (a mix of traditional and more modern décor) are arranged over three floors and feature bold patterned wallpaper, sleigh beds and glass chandeliers."

"Proof that a pub under the tutelage of charismatic licensees can thrive under any economic landscape, The Maltings celebrates 25 years in the hands of Shaun and Maxine Collinge. You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled into The Old Curiosity Shop when you first enter to an eclectic collection of furnishings and rusting advertising signs from bygone times. The selection of beers is cutting edge though with expertly selected beers from local breweries pushing boundaries."

"You should try The Maltings if you are looking for the best noghtlife experience in York. At The Maltings you will find great beer, great food and great times all in a traditional English Pub setting. We are conveniently located at the foot of Lendal Bridge in the center of the Historic City of York."

"A Chapel Allerton favourite that’s just as popular in the day as at night. Great for breakfast, afternoon tea, Sunday roast and have a great children’s menu. 16-18 Steinbeck Lane, Leeds."

"York Art Gallery boasts the largest collection of British Studio Ceramics in the country in its Centre of Ceramic Art (CoCA). The 19th century building (restored 2013-2015) contains works from the 14th century to the present day including altarpieces, drawings, paintings, prints and sculpture. Highlights include works by Pablo Picasso, L S Lowry and David Hockney."
