Best Dinner Places to Eat in Layerthorpe

"Nestled on the fifth floor of Trinity Leeds, Angelica will cater for all your alfresco dining needs. Their rooftop terrace comes complete with breathtaking skyline views as well as heaters and canopies if the weather demands. They have a tantalising selection of sharing boards and small plates, or you can dive straight in with one of their mains."

"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."

"After a busy day shopping in Trinity Leeds, enjoy lunch, dinner or drinks in the sky at Angelica's wraparound rooftop bar. The terrace offers panoramic views across the city and is the perfect place to watch the sunset."

"The first promises long benches, collapsible parasols and overhead heaters, with a toe-tapping soundtrack provided by live DJs. The second is another floor up, with a mix of covered huts and open benches ripe for the picking. This is craft beer heaven, so expect local and global favourites."

"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."

"What to have: Their seven-course tasting menu for the whole table. Crafthouse celebrates the very best of British and sat high above Trinity shopping centre, it too celebrates the best of Leeds’ historic influence and architecture. Known for their stylish presentation, floral interiors, and Angelica, the swish panoramic cocktail bar above, head up in their private scenic lift, and you’re in for a treat."

"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."

"The ever-brilliant D&D are the hospitality group behind this restaurant, and they certainly don’t slip up here. Lee Bennet’s kitchen delivers a superb seasonal menu that succeeds thanks to its focus on high-quality local ingredients. Time Out tip: The fish dishes, like pan-seared halibut, are particularly good."

"Fettle is a brilliant find if you’re looking for somewhere to have brunch in Leeds. On the weekend, the Scandinavian-inspired cafe has a special all-day menu that bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch. You’ve got classics like their full English breakfast, but the veggie alternative is arguably even better – you’ll get slices of halloumi or tofu, a free-range egg cooked your way and sourdough toast, served with beautifully seasoned wilted spinach, mixed beans, confit tomatoes and a flat mushroom."

"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."

"If you're feeling a bit Man vs. Food then Red's True Barbecue is the place for you. Their donut burger sandwiches two patties, melted cheese, smoked peppered bacon, crispy onions and "Dirty" sauce in between two sweet-glazed donuts. You have to experience it to believe it..."

"Situated in the heart of Leeds’ smart legal and business quarter, this branch of San Carlo promises sleek, stylish good looks, a cheery, welcoming vibe and a wide-ranging menu peppered with trattoria classics."

"Durability and consistency count for a great deal, which may explain the popularity of the well-established and expanding San Carlo chain, which curren ..." Read our full review"

"A longtime favourite of Leeds’ nightlife, Aire Bar has a nice little spot by the River Aire on The Calls. Delve into the iconic arched rooms, grab a drink at the bar and head out onto the overhanging terrace for a close up of the waterfront. They have a range of local breweries on tap, such as Ilkley, Ossett and Saltaire, that will go down a storm on their balcony, and if you get peckish, Yorkshire Burgaire Company will sort you out."

"For a restaurant by the river in Leeds, it's over to Aire Bar, the charming eatery housed in a Grade-II listed building with sights of the water. Its vibe is pretty cool and casual, which is great for a catch-up with mates - though we can find any excuse to work through their burger menu."

"You can do brunch every day until 4pm at any of Manahatta’s three Leeds bars. Their menu is small but perfectly formed – you can have a traditional full English or go for something a little bit different, like their High Line, which sees a trio of pancakes topped with fried chicken, bacon and maple syrup. On the weekend, you can go bottomless between 11am and 3pm – enjoy unlimited prosecco, Aperol Spritz, Bloody Marys or Coors for £25.95."

"Expect to choose from a variety of delicious brunch dishes, and in terms of drinks, your options to choose from are the classic prosecco, Bloody Mary, Aperol Spritz or pints of Coors. Bottomless brunch runs until 4 pm, but fear not, because after 4 pm the bottomless party menu kicks in. If you choose the bottomless party option, you’ll be paying a little more at £30.95pp."

"Manahatta do their pancakes a little bit differently, so if you want to try something new this is the place to go. If you like them sweet, you can top yours with a mix of Nutella, toasted hazelnuts and cream. But they do savoury pancakes too – the High Line gets you three buttermilk pancakes with fried chicken, bacon and maple syrup."
