Best Lunch Restaurants in Whinmoor

"After finding a home in the Corn Exchange in 2014, Humpit now has another local outlet in Leeds University, along with loads of other UK locations. The menu is completely vegan and hummus is served in a bowl, pita or salad, along with falafel and tons of fresh salad. There’s also shakshuka and cool sides such as roasted cauliflower with tahina."

"For cheap vegan eats in Leeds, it doesn’t get better than Humpit. Their special recipe hummus is the stuff of legend and you can enjoy it for under a fiver in their filled pitas. They add a generous dollop of silky smooth hummus, then stuff your pita to the brim with spiced falafel, pickled chilli and fresh salad."

"Humpit started out life as a street food trader, but it’s now right at home in Leeds Corn Exchange. It’s got a big reputation thanks to its incredible hummus. The staple is The Humpit Classic, a bowl of hummus, whole chickpeas, parsley, olive oil and paprika."

"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."

"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."

"Cosy cafe by day, fine-dining dynamo by night, Fettle is full of surprises. Over the years, it’s blossomed into one of the best restaurants in Leeds. Brunch is an all-day affair with a refined menu of daytime favourites."

"When to go: Head down for a lazy brunch, take a book, order a large coffee, and while away a few hours. What to have: The partisan breakfast (meat, veggie and vegan available) cooked and served in a skillet, is comfort food at its best. For something a little lighter, try their Persian eggs with Medjoul dates and warming spices."

"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."

"If you’re having a bit of dull, bad day, you should absolutely consider stopping by Bill’s for lunch. Not only do they have a great deal, but you’ll feel yourself relax as soon as you sit down, and the food isn’t half bad either. Order two courses for £11.95, three for £13.95 between noon and 7 PM, Monday-Friday."

"Bill’s is housed in the beautiful Albion Place near Trinity Leeds shopping centre. It’s spread across two floors and breakfast is served until 11.30am. The toasted sourdough with hummus, smashed avocado, spinach, roasted plum tomatoes, mushrooms and mixed seeds is a stand-out vegan dish."

"The Yorkshire Wrap Company will give you one of their giant Yorkshire puddings and stuff it with goodies, before you chow down on it like a burrito. You can have roast beef, red cabbage, onion and horseradish or roast pork, sage and onion stuffing with apple & mustard sauce. If you get there early doors, they’ve even got a full English one for you to try."

"You can gorge on the ultimate Yorkshire pudding at the Yorkshire Wrap Co. They’ve transformed the humble pud into a deliciously filling roast dinner wrap. Load yours with slow cooked beef, red cabbage and horseradish or roast pork, stuffing and apple sauce, before it’s finished with lashings of gravy and wrapped up in a freshly made Yorkshire."

"Tribeca City Cafe, 2 Park Square E, Leeds, LS1 2NE - Visit now. Proudly serving the businessfolk of Leeds for years, this bright and breezy basement eatery prides itself on local produce, whether that’s artisan breads or coffee from local supplier, Keighley’s Seasons For Coffee."

"This guildhall in the city of York was one of the most important buildings in the medieval city. The majority of the Hall was built in 1357 by a group of influential men and women who came together to form a religious fraternity called the Guild of Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The main part of the building consists of the Great Hall, the Undercroft and the Chapel."

"Merchant Adventurers’ Hall on Fossgate is one of the finest medieval guild halls in existence. A fascinating museum also available for weddings and events (great vintage fairs take place here), the venue’s centrepiece is the Great Hall where medieval merchants once gathered. A collection on display inside includes a range of fine silver, paintings and furniture."

"This pink facade building on St. Helen’s Square (near Betty’s Tea Rooms) is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of York and has only recently opened to the public. The grand, 800 year old house showcases collections of silverware and ceramics, ceremonial items used by the Lord Mayor as well as recreated 18th century bedrooms and dining rooms. The downstairs kitchen has interactive exhibits and equipment to learn about Georgian cooking ."

"Sunny Bank Mills was once a key part of the city’s industrial past, but since being restored by the Gaunt family, it’s been turned into a multi-purpose creative space with a 3,000-square-foot art gallery at its heart. It’s one of the best galleries in Leeds to find exhibitions by local artists, as it gives them a platform to show their work, from Mel Davies’ colourful landscapes to Kate Kenney’s oil paintings of Yorkshire. It’s also home to Spinning Mill Studios, where local artists and makers create and display their work."
