The Best Restaurants in Leeds
"If you haven’t tried one of Falafel Guys’ legendary wraps yet, you need to snaffle one ASAP. Head to their food truck on Briggate or to their stall in Assembly Underground and you’ll be treated to a flatbread loaded with falafel, halloumi, chicken shawarma or any combination of the three. Smothered with traditional Arabic hummus, tahini, fresh salad, lashings of sauce and a pickled chilli, it’s a real treat for the tastebuds."
"A humble street food van outside M&S on Briggate, Falafel Guys has no seating. We’ll get that out the way now in case it’s a deal breaker for your family. But if you’re looking for a bite-to-go, or even something to take home and devour later, this is a great place to eat with kids."
"The customer service is excellent, always a good giggle with the guys behind the bar. And that charcoal houmous blows my mind."
"One of the best places to go for lunch, Shambles Kitchen boasts a traditional atmosphere and menu, its customers voting their pulled pork sandwich the best on the menu!. One reviewer said that they loved their sandwiches so much that it was on par with a New York deli!. Some advice from another reviewer said not to come too late, due to their popularity, their best sandwiches, such as the pulled pork and beef brisket pastrami constantly become sold out by 3pm!"
"Shambles Kitchen is one of York’s original purveyors of street food, and is still one of the best. As well as their tiny permanent home on the famous Shambles, they can often be found selling their popular meat sandwiches, loaded fries and sausage combos on Shambles Market or Parliament Street. Vegan and veggie options are available, and they even do a kids’ hot sandwich too."
"A sandwich shop specialising in smoked-in-house pulled pork, beef pastrami and daily street food specials. Everything is made from scratch each morning. 28 The Shambles, York, YO1 7LX"
"One of the city's more unusual puddings, the Wowbun at Almost Famous pays homage to the restaurant's typical fare of burgers. The cinnamon dusted brioche bun houses a chocolate truffle cereal crunch patty (think sugar puffs – sorry, Honey Monster Puffs – cemented together with a whole load of tooth melting chocolate) covered in whipped cream and drizzled with a salted caramel sauce. Not quite as heavy as some of the other offerings, it's still a taste sensation and something to be experienced."
"You can fill your belly with a huge buttermilk pancake at Cha Lounge. There are three indulgent options to choose from. You can get yours topped with bacon and syrup or slathered in Nutella with sliced banana and a sprinkling of toasted cashews."
"It’s a laid back venue that offers a little bit of peace amidst the hustle and bustle of the city centre. You can choose from a huge range of organic teas here, like the green tea with rose petals, or simply get a good cup of coffee."
"Imagine Spa at Dower House in Knaresborough, offers a truly tranquil spa experience in relaxing surroundings. They have a number of spa experience packages on offer, ranging in price from £25 for two hours in the thermal suite to £145 for a full day of pampering including two hours of treatments and three hours in the Thermal Suite. Experiences at Imagine Spa fall under three categories: Discover, Enrich or Induldge."
"One of the most prestigious hotels and country retreats in the whole of the UK, Rudding Park can be found on the outskirts of Harrogate within an endlessly tranquil setting which includes pristine gardens. The Hotel has a sensational reputation for its high levels of service, its focus on providing a luxurious experience for all guests and, of course, its exceptional Spa. The proud recipient of a seemingly countless array of top industry awards, this spa in Harrogate features an indoor pool, a unique log sauna, bucket showers and an array of treatment rooms which cover everything from mud rasul, manicures, pedicures, make up, hair and much more."
"The city’s favourite micro-roaster has finally opened their very own coffee shop. North Star have been supplying coffee to some of the very best cafes in Leeds for several years, and earlier this year opened the doors to their first stand-alone café down by Leeds Dock. Alongside the café and the shop, there’s also a chance to get to grips with the coffee making process yourself at the Coffee Academy."
"If you’re really into your coffee, you absolutely must visit North Star Coffee Roasters. It’s a café based at Leeds Dock, which means that you can ride the water taxi to get there, and they serve coffee that’s roasted on site. There are two contrasting espresso options, seasonal filter coffees and sometimes even micro lots that you won’t find anywhere else."
"This minimalist cafe and coffee emporium is attached to the production facility of Leeds' first independent roastery, near the Royal Armouries. Watch the daily grind through giant glass doors and inhale the... Top ChoiceCoffee in Leeds"
