Best Lunch Restaurants in Windmill Hill

"Starting life as a pop up food van around Leeds, this houmous-loving cafe has gone from strength to strength, and now serves the nation’s favourite dip in 13 locations across the North of England. A great place to eat in or takeaway, the array of delicious menu options is sure to keep everyone happy. Little ones might enjoy a simple hummus bowl with pitta, whilst parents could go for a warm wrap loaded with falafel, fresh colourful salads and a myriad of condiments."

"Don’t let the name fool you, Humpit is a must-visit if you’re looking for a new vegetarian option. Having traveled extensively in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, the owners of the Humpit know their hummus and pitas. Grab a large group of friends and gather around a dramatically meal-sized bowl of hummus, tear yourself off a warm bit of pita and dig in."

"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."

"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."

"Fettle is a slice of Scandinavian serenity in the heart of the city and it’s the perfect place to while away the hours with a coffee. They serve Limini coffee from Cleckheaton, and each cup, whether you go for an espresso, cappuccino or latte, is made with a double shot for a deeper, darker flavour. They also serve Sandows’ renowned cold brew coffee for something different, and you can tuck into a range of tasty Scandi-inspired morsels."

"Fine dining from morning until night, Fettle has come a long way since its days as a Scandi cafe. They serve beautifully crafted dishes using handpicked and always sustainable produce. By day, they’ll introduce you to new brunch favourites, like their Bokkeumbap, a delicious mix of pork belly and kimchi fried rice with an oh-so-oozy fried egg."

"Just down the street from The Lawrance on Micklegate, you’ll find Partisan, an independent family run café and restaurant. Supporting local suppliers and independent producers, Partisan cooks everything to order using fresh ingredients for their rustic, modern British menu. They serve a variety of dishes and work hard to cater to vegans and vegetarians with inventive dishes."

"We are an independent speciality coffee shop/restaurant situated in York’s most elegant street. We have an all day Breakfast/Brunch menu and a few lunch dishes. We cook everything to order using the best quality fresh ingredients."

"Us Brits love tea and Le Chalet has shown us just how good a French tearoom can be. They have 18 different teas for you to choose from, with everything from English Breakfast and Earl Grey to Lapsang Souchong, Hibiscus and Lavender. But it’s not just about the tea."

"When it comes to eating out with the kids, Bill’s is a no brainer. In the morning, they do everything from pancakes drizzled in syrup to a bitesize full English, but it’s dinner time when they really come into their own. Feast on hearty classics like fish fingers, sausage and mash or a good old mac ’n’ cheese."

"Contemporary European chain dishing up separate breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch and dinner menus. Lovely atmosphere with attentive and friendly staff. Reviews say this is the place to go in Leeds on a Sunday after a heavy weekend around the pubs."

"Located on Gillygate, Waffle On serves a mix of English and American breakfasts, brunches, light lunches and afternoon teas, and of course they serve waffles too!. 569 metres from the Minster.81 Gillygate, York YO31 7EA, United Kingdom"

"An independent coffee shop that also serves hand-stretched pizzas. Available Friday evenings and all day until 6pm on Saturday. Text in your order with as much notice as possible."

"Currently doing take out (collection) pizzas as well on Friday evenings until 10pm. Until 4pm every other day except Sundays!"

"Just a few minutes from the Shipley Glen tramway lies a stunning country pub on Baildon Moor. The classic Yorkshire bricks, wood-burning stoves and huge beer garden with amazing views make The Old Glen House well worth a trip out of the city – especially if you have the pooch with you as it’s super dog-friendly. You can look forward to delicious pub grub and a mean Sunday roast, which you can pair with ales, wine and spirits."

" This handsome, solid stone building has appeared in a number of guises down the years, including a temperance inn and a tearoom for local mill worke ..." Read our full review"

"Osbornes @ 68 is another breakfast/brunch place that’s situated not too far from my house; it’s just at the bottom of Gillygate. The food here is absolutely wonderful, with friendly staff and quick service; definitely a place to head to on a lunchtime with friends!. I’d recommend: the club sandwich or the spicy chicken and salsa wrap (and a hot chocolate, as always!)."

"Escape from the busy street of Gillygate into this welcoming cafe!. Currently their beautiful garden is open for outdoor dining, so take advantage of the spring sunshine and book a table here. And they do breakfasts all day on Sundays, so really what’s not to love."

"Plenty of vegan/vegan options and all dishes on main menu can be made GF on request. ‘Osborne’s @68 on Gillygate – lovely people, great coffee, and the cakes are delicious and enormous!!"

"Bill’s has a lovely eclectic, home from home, comfortable feel to it. Breakfast includes the ‘Bill’s Brunch’, two fried free range eggs, smoked streaky bacon, Cumberland sausage, roasted plum tomatoes, mushrooms, potato rösti, baked beans, black pudding and toast. Eggs Benedict or Eggs Avocado Florentine."

"Located right in the city centre, Bill’s York restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. Full of character, this light ..."

"The Lime Tree is an independent restaurant that Specialises in Mediterranean cuisine and pride themselves on extraordinary food with unbeatable prices!. With a great takeaway menu offering vegetarian, meat and seafood dishes, there is something for everyone!. They are offering a collection or delivery service Wednesday to Sunday 5pm - 9pm and have an option of a 2-course meal deal, so don’t miss out!"

"I was actually intending to spend a couple of hours in the Tiled Hall Cafe (see above) but it was closed for a private event, so I wandered into The Light centre and spotted this pink, flowery, instagram-perfect wonderland!. Haute Dolci has eight locations, so it’s a much larger operation that the other Leeds’ coffee shops I’ve included here, but it’s so pretty that I just had to include it. I would say it’s more of a dessert restaurant than a coffee shop, serving up the most elegant looking desserts, but I had a cappuccino and a couple of macarons which were intensely sweet (in a good way)."

"Although Haute Dolci isn’t a cafe, I couldn’t skip this dessert restaurant. You’ll find this beautiful restaurant inside The Light leisure centre. Their menu is all about desserts which is the dream for anyone with a sweet tooth."

"Puddings to die for from Haute Dolci in The Light - now delivered on UberEats. Choose from chocolate fudge brownies, banana split sundaes, stacked American pancakes and plenty more."

"New Station Street, Leeds LS1 5DLPret are good in a pinch for breakfast on-the-go at Leeds station. With a menu available online and good labelling instore, you can pick up vegan sandwiches, hot food and breakfast pots for that early-morning train."

"Relax, eat and drink in the stylish, contemporary interior that is Brew and Brownie. Located opposite the Museum Gardens, this coffee shop in York is a very popular destination for coffee and brunch alike. So popular, in fact, that they have opened a second premises just a few doors down – B&B Bakeshop."
