5 Best Italian 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."
"There’s a reason why this humble street food favourite is number one on TripAdvisor. The Falafel Guys make their own secret recipe hummus, falafel and tahini fresh every day. You can get three plump balls of falafel wrapped up with halloumi or chicken shawarma with salad, tahini, garlic mayo and chilli sauce – their wraps are absolutely loaded and incredibly filling, so you’re in for a stomach-stretching feast."
"The customer service is excellent, always a good giggle with the guys behind the bar. And that charcoal houmous blows my mind."
"There are three aspects of ordering a takeaway from Tak Yan that receive consistent praise from customers. First, the quality of the food is of a high standard. Second, the prices are reasonable, so customers feel they are receiving good value for money."
"Described as the perfect place to relax, The Brunch Cafe boasts a selection of freshly ground Italian coffee and tasty bites. Situated near a number of large shopping outlets, The Brunch Cafe is ideally located. It offers visitors outdoor seating, making it the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the stunning views that York has to offer."
"‘Savoury, sweet and everything in between’ profess Crepe Affaire, and they’re not wrong. Based on the second floor of Trinity Leeds, this is a French restaurant centred around the honest pancake, whether you want it with lemon and sugar, Grand Marnier cognac, chicken and tarragon, feta and hummus, or even an all day breakfast. They also serve up smothered waffles, and oodles of ice cream if that’s your bag."
"When dining with children, a lunch that feels more like a party treat might be enough to tempt even the most reticent of young foodies. Cue Crepe Affaire, where everything on offer is, you guessed it, crepe-based. There are the sweet treats, like salted caramel, Oreo, peanut butter and Nutella, but don’t miss out on the savouries."
"At Crepe Affaire, it’s all about traditional French pancakes. Expect a host of classic combinations, both sweet and savoury, like cinnamon or hunter’s chicken. But it’s their more creative options that demand your attention."
"They’re famous for their traditional Italian gelato, which comes in a range of weird and wonderful flavours. You can try the likes of Banana del Brasile and Dulce de Leche, all served up in epic style – their Conos promise a chocolate cone with your choice of flavours presented in the shape of a gelato flower. If you’re not feeling the ice cream, they also do waffles, macarons and crepes."
"This authentic Italian gelato spot is famous in Leeds and for good reason. Scoops come served in a chocolate cone, with gelato presented in the shape of a flower and the option to add on macarons. Find flavours like Banana del Brasile and Dulce de Leche here alongside more traditional choices."
"They’re currently running a reduced menu, but still have loads of different sundaes to tempt you in, from classics like the Banana Split, with strawberry slices, vanilla ice cream, syrup and sprinkles, to the Mango Mania, with Alphonse mango ice cream, fruit pieces and mango syrup."
