Best Fine Dining in Dudley Hill

"Leeds isn’t short of cracking curry houses by any means, but Tharavadu gets a special mention here for its Kerala cuisine. The menu, inspired by the south-west state of Kerala in India, includes traditional street foods, breakfast dishes, soups and dosa, with handy explanations of the cultural significance of its dishes. It also offers an express lunch deal with a feast of three curries, a side dish, rice, dosa and chutneys, for less than a tenner."

"The Malayalam word ‘tharavadu’ roughly translates as keeping traditions alive – and that’s certainly the ethos of this charming Keralan restaurant, which you’ll find just across the road from Leeds train station. They cover a wide variety of southern Indian dishes, among which you’ll find some unusual treats. Time Out tip: Look out for crab cooked in coconut sauce, excellent fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake."

"Award winning Indian restaurant Tharavadu serves up tasty Indian cuisine from Kerala in a modern, chic venue. What’s really impressive is that this venue was recommended in the Michelin restaurant guide in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019!. Kerela cuisine has a multitude of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes prepared using fish, poultry and red meat, meaning there’s something on this menu for everyone."

"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."

"There’s no menu here, per se – just tell the restaurant any dietary requirements you have and then enjoy as you’re served an impressive four- or eight-course meal. Menus change according to the season, but the black pudding macaron is their signature. If you’re thirsty, sister venue and natural wine bar Cave du Cochon, down the road, is just as classy."

"This is the kind of restaurant for those who can never decide what to eat. Le Cochin Aveugle is a unique fine dining restaurant where diners don't really have a say as to what they eat. All you have to do is notify them in advance of any dietary requirements, rock up to your table reservation, and wait for the dishes to arrive."

"Eating out at Art’s is a little like eating at the smallest gastropub you’ve ever seen. The rustic charm and dark wood panelled bar are the first thing to hit you upon entry, but take a seat and you’ll soon be charmed by the intimate space and international menu. It makes for an exciting browse, with everything from confit duck to curried cauliflower on a menu that changes every month."

"A veggie and vegan paradise, this little deli-restaurant is strictly meat-free. Our personal favourite is the house Goji burger; a mushroom burger loaded with halloumi, salad and sweet potato wedges. There’s a sumptuous selection of cakes and little bits in the deli and even a breakfast menu, should you want to swing by on the way to work."

"An excellent vegetarian cafe, Goji is one of the city’s top-rated places to enjoy a vegan dish. This welcoming cafe is devoted to giving you healthy and sumptuous food, including vegan diets too.

Then, it was used as lodgings for the Sheriff of York, before being transformed into a pub in the 16th century.
