The Best Restaurants in Leeds
"East 59th’s jungle-like roof terrace is blessed with south-facing views over the city’s skyline, which you can take in at your leisure over dinner, and if the weather doesn’t play, you can cosy up under their heat lamps and parasols to keep warm. From the East Cheeseburger to the Seafood Platter, they have a menu of New York-inspired eats to fill your belly. Fancy something lighter?"
"The plant-covered roof terrace at East 59th is stunning with incredible south-facing views that look out over the city’s skyline. Temperature isn't an issue either as they have heat lamps and blankets to keep you warm until closing time. Expect a menu of hundreds of cocktails and even some classic American grub."
"East 59th brings US-inspired cuisine into the centre of Leeds. The New York City-style bar and grill offers guests a contemporary American dining experience throughout the day, then seamlessly transitions into a sophisticated Manhattan-style rooftop nightspot."
"What: The sixth floor of Leeds' Trinity Centre might not be where you would expect to find a brilliant brunch, but D&D's Angelica serves exactly that. This isn't the place to go if you're looking for a slap-up brunch as this is very much a stylish restaurant rather than a casual café. However, if you are in the market for something a little bit classy, Angelica's menu features everything from a crayfish and brown butter crumpet to buttermilk banoffee pancakes.Where: Level 6, Trinity Centre, 70 Boar Lane, LS1 6HW"
"Imagine, you’re sat up at the top of the Trinity Centre in a room surrounded by glass windows at night, with a cocktail in your hand and a beautiful panoramic view of the whole city. That’s what you’ll find in Angelica. Mixing modern day architecture and a pewter bar with a bright and airy design they act as one of the best cocktail destinations in Leeds."
"After a busy day shopping in Leeds Trinity, enjoy lunch, dinner or drinks in the sky at Angelica's rooftop bar, with panoramic views across the city."
"Boasting the high quality restaurant the Ox Club, a beer hall with brews from around the globe and a live music venue. That’s all before you make your way up to Redondo Beach & Roof Terrace; their very own very own cocktail bar that leads out onto the roof terrace complete with kitchen, outdoor bar and sheltered areas with plenty of seating."
"Belgrave's sister bar Headrow House has one of the biggest outdoor terraces in Leeds, set over two floors. It offers stunning views over the rooftops of the city."
"On the edge of the city centre, The Reliance cooks up modern British dishes in a friendly and informal atmosphere. As well as its wide selection of craft ales, the dishes include Yorkshire pork sausages, Erdinger-battered haddock and spatchcocked poussin. The in-house charcuterie uses only the best, locally sourced rare-breed pork from the Taste Tradition in North Yorkshire, which is cured in the restaurant itself."
"A bar and restaurant combined, The Reliance doesn’t have to shout about what it does, because it does it so gosh darned well. Behind the bar, they have craft beer, quality wine and all the spirits you could desire, but it’s the kitchen that really impresses. This is British food, done well and served up in a bar that’s completely down to earth – try their homemade charcuterie, it’s sensational."
"Modern British dishes and homemade charcuterie in a relaxed dining room and pub, with craft beers. The seasonal menu is split into smaller and bigger plates. The specials push the envelope a little more, emphasising the ‘modern’ in modern British cooking."
"The Rooftop at East Parade Social is bang in the middle of Leeds, overlooking some amazing sights – Leeds Town Hall being just one. Take in the sights as you soak up the sun – you’ll get plenty of that."
"Totally possible in this social dining space that combines hipster decor with a kickass rooftop, and has a regular ‘Dog of the Day’ on Instagram (see above)."
"North Bar was serving wild, innovative beers back when many of today’s craft aficionados were still drinking Carling and, despite fierce competition, it remains Leeds’s pre-eminent craft beer bar. And it’s one that, certainly at weekends, still feels like a boozy, unpretentious late-night DJ bar, rather than a place of arid, uptight beer connoisseurship. From North’s Prototype (a quintessential northern pale ale created with Kirkstall Brewery), to such seldom-seen draft guests as Brewfist’s Bionic or Stone Brewing’s dark kölsch Spröcketbier, you will rarely drink anything here that is less than impressive."
"This narrow bar has long been an institution in Leeds as a haven of international craft beers. It now brews its own under the banner North Brewing Co, and they're rather good. Drink them here, or visit the..."
"Delivering artisanal brews from Europe and the US for over twenty years, beer lovers will be in heaven here thanks to their selection of never-seen-before and very-popular boozes."

"In the summer, the delicious smells of Gusto spread out onto Greek Street to create an alfresco dining experience that’s hard to resist.

"If the answer is yes, you need to go and experience Teppanyaki. One of the best Japanese restaurants in Leeds, you get to experience an atmosphere similar to one you will have experienced if you have ever eaten in Japan. Watch as your skilled chefs cook your food in front of your own eyes to the best of standards, feel your jaw drop as they juggle and flip your food, throwing a dash of fire into the mixture."
