The Best Restaurants in Leeds, Offers and Events
"According to The Journal of The Brewery History Society,[1] Wharfedale Brewery began life as Wetherby Brewery in 1756 when it was established by brewer, maltster, and farmer John Rhodes. When John Rhodes died in 1780 he was succeeded in the brewery by his eldest son Gregory and his second son Quentin and the two of them guided the fortunes of the brewery well into the nineteenth century.[2]. Quentin Rhodes,[3] an important local businessman, made his fortune selling beer to many of the town's 15 pubs."
"Leeds Art Gallery, which opened in 1888, houses the best twentieth century collection outside London and a colourful wall painting for the Victorian staircase by Lothar Götz. The gallery is owned and operated by Leeds City Council and is free to members of the public. Just next door, The Henry Moore Institute hosts a year-round programme of historical, modern and contemporary exhibitions presenting sculpture from across the world."
"The word dale, like dell, is derived from the Old English word dæl. It has cognates in the Nordic/Germanic words for valley (dal, tal), and occurs in valley names across Yorkshire and Northern England.[4] Usage here may have been reinforced by Nordic languages during the time of the Danelaw.[5]. Most of the dales are named after their river or stream (e.g., Arkengarthdale, formed by Arkle Beck)."
"Again, this one involves eggs, especially on the daytime menu. But if that’s not a problem for you, then you will love this quirky spot. If you don’t eat eggs then you still have options and some very tasty ones too."
"Stop at this independent coffee shop and restaurant on Micklegate and you can look forward to all day brunch dishes such as French toast, eggs benedict, and cooked breakfasts served in a skillet."
"09/05/2021: Had breakfast here a couple of times while staying in York. Absolutely fantastic food and great service. Best gluten free bread I have had and the cakes also great."
"At Brew & Brownie “we are inspired by the seasons, our countryside upbringing, our urban adulthood, the food we craved as children, to the tastes we developed as we grew. We aim to bring this vision to life at our cafe and coffee house in the centre of York. We have spent many hours researching and discovering some of Yorkshire’s best produce, such as Raydale Preserves based in the sleepy village of Stalling Busk, Johnson’s free range eggs, Bishy Road’s M & K butchers, Wilson’s Butchers based in Huntington, not to mention Haxby Bakehouse’s amazing bread!"
"What’s on the menu – York’s best brownies delivered to your doorstep – what’s not to love?. Millionaire’s shortbread and rocky road are on the menu too."
"Welcome to Guzelian Cafe Bar and Gallery in Little Germany, Bradford’s historic merchants’ quarter.Call in for breakfast, lunch, or evening tapa ..."
"Left Bank Leeds is one of the city’s most unusual gallery spaces. Formerly St Margaret’s Anglican church, this grade II-listed building was transformed into a community space in 2002. It hosts art exhibitions on a regular basis."
"A survivor of Yorkshire’s ancient fenlands, dating back 15,000 years, Askham Bog is considered one of the most ecologically diverse sites in the UK. The bog itself is made of boulder clay and fen peat, while the land around it is home to roe deer, foxes, newts and frogs. Plants include royal ferns, rare gingerbread sedge and whole rivers of water violets."
"Rodley Nature Reserve is a nature reserve dedicated to bringing wetland wildlife back in the area of Leeds. With regular sightings of different birds like owls, kingfishers, kestrels, lapwings and many others, you would certainly enjoy traversing the different paths that they have and be closer to nature through the amazing sights that they offer. A hidden gem, this wetland reserve can be considered a haven that offers a relaxing tour and walks around the area."
"One of the most notable landmarks in Leeds is also one of the most impressive buildings. The Corn Exchange, designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, has been at the centre of the city for more than 150 years. A key trading post in its heyday, the façade of this dominating circular building is certainly impressive with its many windows, sandstone base and iron-crested dome."
"This is one place where history and pleasure of shopping come together. Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building that was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick in 1864. It is now just one of three Corn Exchanges in the country and works in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade."
"Leeds Corn Exchange is a Grade 1* listed building and shopping centre based in the heart of Kirkgate, Leeds. Designed by revered British architect Cuthbert…"
"Commissioned by the owner of the Old White Swan Inn, Charles Thornton, in 1875, the building of Thornton’s Arcade was opened to the public in May 1878. One of eight arcades built on the city during the era, Thornton’s Arcade is three stories high with a cast-iron Gothic roof . Inside you will find a large clock with a mechanism created by William Potts and Sons of Leeds."
"This one-stop shop sells everything skaters need for their set-up plus big-name and local brand apparel. Where:10-12 Thornton’s Arcade, LS1. Shop online at:welcomeleeds.com"
"If you enjoy architecture and medieval clocks, as we do, you should definitely take a stroll through one of Leeds' best arcades!"
"Serving classic, home smoked American food, diners can enjoy burgers, grilled meat sanwiches salads and the signature dry rubbed, Applewood smoked ribs, which are glazed in a flavoursome BBQ sauce. There's also a tempting selection of desserts on offer too, if you've got room to spare. Visit: Trinity Leeds, Albion Street LS1 5AT - thechicagoribshack.co.uk"
"In 1982, when the Chicago Rib Shack was launched, most people said that we were nuts to open a BBQ restaurant. But since we opened, dozens if not scores of r... Trinity Kitchen, Trinity LeedsTelephone."
"Canteen-like Sarto pays homage to two things Italy excels at: sleek minimalist design and fresh, handmade pasta. Slow-cooked ragùs of lamb shoulder or pork and ’nduja speak for themselves, as do classics like fettucine with wild mushrooms and marsala sauce. The meat-free options (say, campanelle with roast garlic, lemon and caper butter) are object lessons in letting a few bold flavours shines."
"The brainchild of the guys behind two of Leeds’ indie giants, Laynes and The Brunswick, Sarto is the Northern answer to London pasta bars Padella and Pastaio. Radiatori, bucatini, fettuccine, Sarto master it all, with a tantalising supply of snacks and spritz to boot. Munro House, Duke St, Leeds LS9 8AG – 0113 345 2074"
"Leeds' very first dedicated pasta restaurant arguably offers the greatest value for money anywhere in the city. Diners sit overlooking the open kitchen, which is slap bang in the middle of the restaurant, and the chefs are absolute masterminds. The menu is pretty limited, but each and every dish is a belter."
