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."
"Imagine being able to visit one of the best-loved eateries in Leeds and getting change from a tenner. That’s exactly what you can do at The Falafel Guys and the food is top drawer. It will only cost you £5 to get three of their own recipe falafel balls in a wrap or salad bowl and for a quid extra you can throw in halloumi or chicken shawarma."
"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."
"They’re famed for their wings, and they double cook them to give them a unique crunch. But that’s not all they do. Look out for heaving Bird Burgers or mix it up with one of their chicken-waffle combinations, like the Chilli Choc Wafflewich, which comes drizzled with their signature chocolate and chilli sauce."

"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."
"Once a cafe, now a fine dining destination, Fettle is a must-try if you like good food. Their cosy restaurant serves up a menu of intriguing dishes from morning until night. In the evening, you can share small plates – try the pork belly with rosemary fudge and rind popcorn or smoked akee with kimchi and cauliflower."
"73 Great George St, Leeds LS1 3BRAlongside their scandi-inspired decor, Fettle has a great selection of vegan options on all their menus. Fettle serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, then open late into the night as Fine at Fettle."
"When to go: When you want to get dressed up and treat yourself. What to have: The buttery tender British Wagyu. Located opposite Oakwood’s obelisk at the foot of the sprawling Roundhay park, Chophaus inhabits a stylish beamed cabin, where you can expect a modern take on the traditional steak house."
"If you’ve got a hankering for steak and want to eat outdoors in Leeds, head to Chophaus. They’ve got a new heated terrace, designed by the award-winning Nanu Soda. It’s completely covered, so rain isn’t a problem, and has space for 80 people."
"Little Leeds Beerhouse is a small but mighty bottle shop nestled in Brownhill & Co. A huge array of craft beers line the shelves, with local favourites from North Brewing Co. alongside cool creations from further-afield, like Ireland’s Whiplash Brewery. They also have growlers and an ever-changing selection of beers on draught, so you can get tap-fresh beer to enjoy at home."
"The mullioned windows, stone flags and thick walls of the ancient inn – deep-set in stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales and close to Bolton Abbey – drip authentic character and the great long bar in the taproom is a welcoming rallying point for tired walkers and hungry guests. The hotel’s fires, snugs and carpeted little rooms may flirt with the chintzy on occasion, but they provide the perfect places to retreat and relax with views over the river and up the fells. The restaurant is a pleasure to eat in; with oak floors and panelling, a log-burning stove and, in places, views of the river, it’s a great spot to enjoy locally sourced dishes."
"Art lovers should make a beeline for Café 164, where they’ll find an impressive selection of food and drink alongside rotating exhibits of art and photography lining the walls. A selection of sandwiches are served on delicious ciabatta and focaccia bread, baked fresh on site with a selection of soups and salads completing the menu. Coffee comes courtesy of local roasters and there’re plenty of dairy-free milk options."
"You’ve got the best of both worlds at Cafe 164 – it’s part-cafe and part-art gallery. It’s set within The Gallery at 164, so after browsing the latest exhibition, treat yourself to something to eat and drink. This is the perfect place to try something new because they serve guest blends from Northern coffee roasters, alongside a range of loose leaf teas."
"Serving speciality espresso based coffees from a range of local and independent suppliers, Cafe 164 provides a great array of choice, including rotations from North Star Coffee, Bruce and Luke's, Casa Espresso and Maude Coffee. Visit: Munro House, Duke Street, LS9 8AG - cafe164.com"
