Top Best French Restaurants in Aldfield

"Kendell’s is the most famous French restaurant in Leeds – and it’s easy to see why. Not only is the food good, but the atmosphere is incredible – you’ll step into a candlelit bistro where the blackboard displays a new menu daily. What they serve depends on the fresh, seasonal produce they can get their hands on, but you can expect the likes of salmon en croute, porc boulangère and créme brûlée."

"We all know that France has an incredible culinary reputation, and Kendells Bistro certainly does it justice. They offer a romantic fine dining experience in an intimate restaurant, which is perfect for special occasions. The menu changes daily, depending on the fresh, seasonal produce they can source, and it’s written on the blackboard, which you can view with the binoculars provided."

Located right next to the West Yorkshire Playhouse, you could go all out and whisk them off to the theatre after enjoying the great pre theatre menu."

"What: Bringing a slice of France to Leeds, Le Chalet is the place to go if you're wanting a Gallic-inspired brunch. Indulge in everything from French toast topped with bacon to a full French breakfast, which includes a fresh sliced baguette with jam and honey, a pastry of your choice, a juice and a hot drink. Now that's a spread that's hard to refuse.Where:31-32 Park Row, LS1 5JD"

"The French tearoom has a jam-packed menu of dishes for you to choose from. They’ve got classics like avocado on toast, as well as six different ways with eggs. If you want a real French treat, try their crepes."

"Tucked away underneath the Quebec Hotel, Sous Le Nez has been the tour de force of French food in Leeds for nearly 25 years. As you’d expect their menus are refined with careful attention to detail, which is why you can expect exquisite creations like their gateau of fillet steak stuffed with shallots, mushrooms and garlic, then topped with peppercorn sauce. They also have an extensive wine list, so you can match your dinner with the perfect bottle of vino."

"The Hotel du Vin and Bistro is an impressive Grade II listed building which has been transformed from its darker days as a 19th century orphanage, to a modern luxurious 44 bed boutique hotel. Situated on the edge of the city, it is close enough for a short trip to the racecourse or city centre, yet far enough away to provide that relaxing end to a busy day. With hand-sprung mattresses, sumptuous linen and beautiful bathrooms the suites have a cosy, relaxing appeal."

"This is classic Hotel du Vin with a period building (in this case, an orphanage) given a dark and clubby makeover. It's comfortable without being fussy and smart without feeling too formal. Bedrooms are crisp with excellent bathrooms while food is classic French with a rich wine list."

"This pop-up French restaurant that takes over Le Chalet’s tearoom every Friday and Saturday night. It specialises in two very specific French delicacies. You can melt raclette over potatoes, charcuterie and cornichons or dip French bread into a molten pot of Emmental, Brie and Gruyère fondue."

"Another restaurant where the answer is in the name, Rustique is all about rustic French food. The idea here is to provide a typical French dining experience with traditionally cooked fish and meat dishes. If you haven't done so already, maybe this is the place to try Escargot for the first time."

"Lovely French restaurant, reasonably priced and has an excellent reputation. There are two restaurants in town – the nearest one to the apartment is Lendal.www.rustiquerestaurants.co.uk/rustique-york-castlegatewww.rustiquerestaurants.co.uk/rustique-york-lendal"

"Brasserie Blanc, based in a beautiful converted mill building on the banks of the River Aire, is a great place to eat with kids in Leeds. While the grown-ups admire the industrial-vibe dining room and munch on French classics, the children will have a great choice on the colourful ‘Henri le Worm’ kids’ menu. The likes of crispy chicken and veggie samosas are up for grabs, followed by sundaes, mousse or lollies for pud."

"Few names are as synonymous with quality French food as Raymond Blanc. His Brasserie Blanc restaurants are popular all over the country – and Leeds is no different. Nestled on the edge of the River Aire, it’s a classy affair with exposed brickwork and oodles of character, but the food is the real focus."

"La Cour Brasserie is a Parisian-style bistro, known for its classy decor, attentive service and scrumptious food. They serve up a menu of French inspired dishes using the best local produce – think boeuf bourguignon, duck in caramelised port sauce and moules marinières, with a host of tempting desserts to boot.

"Bread & Roses is the place to enjoy great coffee and a healthy seasonal menu, along with opportunities to work, share ideas and collaborate. The menu has lots of options including daily specials and kids options. They have vegan milk for drinks and vegan cakes."

"Monday-Friday 8am-9pm, Saturdays 9am-9.30pm, Sundays 10am-3pm. Opened just a few months ago, this vegetarian cafe has been a welcome addition to the city’s bustling North Parade. It’s a light, bright, friendly space with large tables for groups or mingling."

"Every year Leeds Valentine's Fair brings some thrills and spills to the Valentine's Day and the Februiary half-term holidays, with more than 70 attractions on offer. In 2020 the fair moved from it's previous base at Elland Road, next to Leeds United's ground, to Woodhouse Moor in Hyde Park, Leeds. This year's fair is running now until Sunday, February 23."

"Covering 27 hectares, with seven tree-lined paths taking you into the centre, Woodhouse Moor is one of the finest parks in Leeds. John Atkinson created it for the residents of Woodhouse Square in 1840 and it became a public green space in 1905. It’s a popular spot with walkers, picnickers and skaters, but that’s not the only reason to go."

"Also known simply as Hyde Park, this is the place to be for students as soon as there's an inkling of sunshine in the city. It may not be the prettiest of parks on first glance, but hundreds of people plonk themselves on the grass, crack open a beer and blast out the tunes during the summer."

"Resident on Coldbath Road, Manna Bakery recently extended its premises to a few doors down from its original location, transforming their grab ‘n go bakery to a lovely cafe. Manna Bakery have the best fresh produce and exciting breakfast menu items – the smell of freshly-baked bread and brownies hits you before you even walk through the door!. They have their own take on a few breakfast classics, and the flavours definitely don’t fall short."
