The Best Cheap Eats in Leeds
"Based in the prestigious Victoria Gate, East 59th is a New York-inspired rooftop bar and grill providing superb rooftop views of the city. We’re not surprised that it’s considered to be one of Leeds’ most loved brunch spots, with guests anticipating to experience its buzzing atmosphere and great music every weekend. Brunchers can enjoy eggs all day long, including eggs benedict, eggs royale and scrambled truffle toast."
"Celebrating the best of American dining, this New York themed bar and grill provides a stylish, contemporary space to tuck in to some delicious dishes, and if the weather is permitting, the Manhattan-style rooftop bar is a great spot to enjoy a cocktail or two.

"If you want to know where all the beautiful people of Leeds head when the sun shines, then take a trip to Angelica. Located in Trinity shopping centre, this rooftop bar and garden is the closest you’ll get to Ibiza without hopping on a plane. With panoramic views of Leeds, plush white furniture, and a stunningly curated cocktail list, Angelica brings the glamour."
"Angelica is home to one of the most spectacular roof terraces in Leeds. South-facing, this outdoor area offers breathtaking views over the city. It’s vast and spacious, so maintaining social distancing is a doddle, and when the air cools, there are blankets and plenty of outdoor heaters."
"You probably know Angelica best as a gorgeous rooftop cocktail bar, but you'd be missing out if you didn't check out some of the edible delights that are on offer here. Gaze over the city as you enjoy Josper-grilled steaks, decadent burgers, whole lobsters and more."
"Housed in a former textile mill, Headrow House has been transformed into a vibrant food and drink destination with three floors and two impressive rooftop terraces. The Redondo Beach cocktail bar boasts a variety of original concoctions to try and leads out onto a large outdoor space which features a kitchen and bar. On the floor above sits Kennedy Meadows, a terraced area overlooking the Victoria Quarter, Kirkgate Market and Victoria Gate."
"The interior of this popular hipster bar is definitely photogenic, but it’s the roof terrace that is the focus of most Instagram shots. On warm, dry days it’s the perfect place to sit with a drink, admiring the views of the city from above – and when night falls the neon red ‘You Used to Call Me on Your Cell Phone’ sign is the subject of most phone camera lenses."
"There's a lot worth eating at Headrow House's resident restaurant, Ox Club, but you've not really lived until you've eaten their signature wood-fired steak & chips whilst sampling the wares of the Beer Hall. There's just something about eating possibly the best steak of your life from a takeaway box that feels both dirty and decadent at the same time."
"You'll find a lot to tempt you on the menu at The Reliance, but it's the pig's cheek that I just can't resist every time. Served up with celeriac, black pudding and apple, in their cosy dining room, this dish will make you want to move in. They also cure all their own charcuterie, just as an FYI."
"The Reliance manages to strike the fine balance between executing faultless of the moment dishes, with effortless approachability. Fondly known by regulars as The Relly, this neighbourhood restaurant showcases beautiful ingredients from across Gods Own County. Their wines are exceptual too."
"On first glance, The Reliance looks like nothing more than a vintage chic bar, but this dine-in pub has no trouble nabbing the title of ‘best restaurant in Leeds’. The decor is comfortable, but minimalist. The service is warm, not ostentatious."
"This being Yorkshire, Bradford has several fantastic real ale pubs. The New Beehive Inn (171 Westgate, 01274 721784) is certainly worth a pint. What the city has thus far lacked, however, is one of those new-fangled craft beer bars, like Manchester's Port Street Beer House or Brewdog's Scottish bars, where Bradford's younger beer enthusiasts can enjoy indie tunes, vintage soul and interesting art exhibitions, good snacky food and speciality coffees, whilst working their way through a comprehensive selection of real ales, fashionable craft keg beers and interesting Belgian and American bottles (pint from £2.40)."
"Built in 1897, Grand Arcade is a stunning building with a one-off William Potts and Sons clock, but that’s not the only reason to visit the Leeds Landmark. It’s an independent haven, full of shops, bars and restaurants worth checking out. Nip over to Our Handmade Collective for jewellery and crafts or try The Traditional Shaving Company for everything you need to stay well groomed."
"Considering its relatively small stature, the Grand Arcade definitely packs plenty in. It’s full of places to eat and drink – this is where you’ll find the hidden entrance to The Domino Club tucked away inside Lords’ Barbering, and the quaint Just Grand!"
"The Grand Arcade is one of the oldest shopping Arcades in Leeds City Centre, and it is well worth a visit…"
"LS6 Café, named after the postcode it’s found in, is actually a close neighbour of La Cafetiere. One of the oldest independent businesses in Leeds, this café places ethics and good food at the centre of everything it does. Their dedicated brunch menu contains all sorts of treats, including the “LS6 Mammoth Breakfast”, plus vegan and vegetarian options."
"The clock’s cafe is the longest running independent business in Leeds. Mannequin body parts, clocks and red banquettes decorate this veteran cafe/bar with a global menu. LS6 has a long standing reputation for their delicious breakfasts."
"Following the Covid-19 outbreak, we have redefined our dining options. Tables and chairs in communal areas have been removed to allow for the required guideline distance between each party. Table sizes will be limited to parties of six."
"10/06/2021: This was my first visit and it wont be my last.This small hidden gem of a restaurant serves authentic Italian food, cooked to perfection and with love.A daily 5 course menu using the freshest ingredients, pasta and Olive Oil from Italy, Claudia is one of the best Italian chefs!.

"If you want your Italian eats to come with a slice of glamour, Bibis Italianissimo is the place to go. This glitzy, 1920s-inspired dining room puts on live entertainment throughout the week – and you can tuck into everything from Lasagne to Linguine alla Carbonara, Pollo alla Parmigiana and Calzone Kiev Pizza. It’s a real throwback, so dress up in your finest and get ready for a night out with a difference."
