"When it comes to alfresco dining and sunshine drinks, the team behind Headrow House, Belgrave, et al, have most definitely raised the bar, quite literally. Their rooftop ‘beer garden’ is one of the go-to destinations when the sun makes an appearance. With a stellar selection of craft beers and cocktails together with 2020’s foodie revelation ‘Spitz Kebabs’ from Ox Club."
"What: It may not have the biggest outdoor area around but legendary Leeds boozer The Reliance does have a few tables out front which can be booked in advance. Food here comes in the form of small international plates such as duck ragu papardelle, mussels, and asparagus with a poached egg. We suggest getting a selection of dishes to share with the whole table while soaking up some rare Leeds sunchine (if you're lucky with the weather that is).Where: 76-78 North Street, LS2 7PN"
"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."
"One of the most popular roast dinners in Leeds - The Reliance has built up a real reputation for their servings. You can choose from roast chicken, roast shoulder of lamb and a veggie or vegan nut roast. On the side, you can look forward to roasties, carrots, cauliflower cheese and fresh greens, with Yorkshire pudding and plenty of gravy."
"As one of Leeds’ great underrated bars, The Social is a top choice for a date due to its friendly staff and fab drinks menu. Hosting regular music, games, and crafty meet ups, it’s open seven days a week, well situated en route to the Northern Quarter. You can cosy up under the twinkling fairy lights, or hit the courtyard for an afternoon in good company."
"Decked out with benches and fairy lights, there are awnings for when it rains and plenty of heaters for when it gets cold. You can enjoy an ever-changing selection of local cask ales from the bar, as well as even more on keg. They also have packed fridges full of rare and one-off brews, but if beer’s not your thing, you won’t go thirsty."
"A community-owned co-op, it pays staff a living wage and focuses on Yorkshire beers, with super-local micros, such as Treboom and Brass Castle, to the fore. A grade-II-listed Victorian building, the main bar is a suitably plain space. There is original tile work around the bar, an open fire, copper-topped tables and a bottle-green banquette that sweeps around the room."

"Kendells Bistro is an exceptionally popular French bistro which is well known for its friendly front of house team, focus on reasonably priced beautifully crafted French cuisine and a great selection of French wines which complements their food. They’ve managed to create an inviting ambience which is akin to the heart of Paris, yet it is located in Leeds’ flourishing art district, next to BBC Leeds and the Northern Ballet. It’s laid out with wooden tables and offers an intimate candlelit atmosphere."
"Fancy enjoying a slice of Paris right in the middle of Leeds?. Head to this bistro, which serves quality French cooking in a high-brow location (it counts BBC Leeds and the Northern Ballet among its neighbours). Cute touches like candles in wax-drenched bottles add to the Gallic charm, but above all it’s the consistently excellent food that draws punters in."
"Côte Brasserie is a name the whole country knows – they’re famed for their delicious French fare. The venue is inspired by Parisian bistros, and they’ve got a menu to match. You can pop in for breakfast, lunch or supper – start the day with French Toast, fruit salad and maple syrup, head back at lunch to sample their Steak Frites with garlic butter or nip in for a hearty dinner of Roasted Pork Belly."
"Sultry in its own right, you'll find all the Hotel du Vin hallmarks inside this low-level, pale-rendered building: slate and wooden floors, charcoal-grey walls, moody black-and-white photographs, tan leather armchairs with splashes of cherry red and aubergine in cushions and footstools. This style continues to the rooms and many of the bathrooms have freestanding baths. The French brasserie-style dining-room is all terracotta and sage-green walls, semi-private side-booths framed by wool curtains and softly glowing brass table lamps; cooking is confident and portions are generous."
"Hotel du Vin & Bistro York offers luxury and quality that should impress even the most discerning guest. Bedrooms are stylish, and bathrooms feature huge monsoon showers and roll-top baths. Dinner in the bistro is a memorable highlight."
