5 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Leeds
"What: Taking its inspiration from the New York nightlife, you'll feel like you've teleported to a Manhattan rooftop when stepping out onto the terrace at East 59th. Contemporary American dishes including burgers and prawns cooked on the BBQ are accompanied by creative cocktails, which can be enjoyed late into the night. Saturday nights see DJs take to the decks on the terrace, making it a particularly great place to come with friends.Where: 3rd Floor Rooftop, Victoria Gate, George Street, LS2 7AU"
"East 59th is one of Leeds' swankiest rooftop restaurants and bars, offering views of the city's gorgeous architecture including the historic Kirkgate Market. Grab a space on their outdoor terrace for jaw-dropping vistas, boujee brunch plates, and NYC-inspired cocktails come nightfall."
"Designed to resemble a New York rooftop bar and restaurant, this stylish hangout celebrates contemporary American dining. This means you can tuck into bottomless brunch from midday onwards any day of the week."
"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."
"Trinity Leeds, Albion Street, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 5ER. Boasting panoramic views of the city, this sixth-floor D&D-owned restaurant/bar was made for celebrating. Swanky modern interiors go hand-in-hand with a menu full of international favourites spanning brunch to dinner."
"Angelica has the highest rooftop bar in Trinity Leeds, and the views across the city are absolutely incredible. See alsoA Movie Lover's Guide to the West Midlands. The terrace is super Instagrammable, too, as it’s decorated with trees, lavender and shrubbery."
"Steak and chips for £5 is the signature special of this multi-space eatery–a mix of food space, beer hall, gig location and sceney rooftop–where fluffy pals are not just welcomed, but are often rewarded with a starring role on Headrow’s Instagram page. The action happens over four floors, in what was previously a textile mill. Standout features include the beer hall’s collection of four tanks of unpasteurised Pilsner and 60 international beers, plus the upstairs terraces–where you can while away a relaxed evening, and your dog has space for a leg stretch when it needs it (also known as flashing puppy eyes at other people to attract more cuddles)."
"And luckily for you, it has not just one, but two, of the best rooftop gardens too!. Headrow is set in a converted textile mill and is popular among the locals for its great food and drink, as well as for the variety of bars within it. You absolutely need to add it to your weekend in Leeds itinerary if you’re visiting from afar!"
"There’s not one, but two roof terraces to choose from at Headrow House. They’re both massive, so you’ll never struggle to socially distance. The upper terrace, Kennedy Meadows, offers incredible views across the city’s rooftops, while the lower terrace has plenty of cosy corners to settle down in."
"Serving traditional British food, The Reliance may be just a stone’s throw from the revelry of Merrion Street, but it’s a much more relaxed affair. The bar and dining room are separate but both carry the same cafe-like vibe, so you can sit where you like and dine on home-cured charcuterie boards from the kitchen’s very own curing room. The Sunday roasts are another family favourite, and with high chairs, baby changing facilities and a great selection of booze behind the bar, there’s enough to keep all ages happy."
"After a chase around the small neighbouring green space of Lovell Park, The Reliance offers beautifully prepared, seasonal meals and welcomes dogs (who’ve wiped those paws) into the bar and lounge areas. There’s a full food service throughout those spaces, plus water bowls, with two main specialities. The first is a casual charcuterie, made using rare breed pork from Thirsk that’s been cured on-site in The Reliance’s own curing room."
"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."
"The main club in Harrogate located on the first floor there are two bars and a main dance floor, as well as plenty of seating booths around the outside. Generally contemporary dance, although varies during the week with some indie rock and classic retro nights. Open until late on a weekend."
"When it comes to Italian restaurants in Leeds city centre, Gusto is coming up trumps for its enchanting decor and hearty bowls. The Greek Street kitchen is preparing all the favourites, with alternatives available for plant-based diners too."
"A favourite for club-goers in the city for over 40 years, The Warehouse Leeds is a legendary nightclub, bar and all-round creative space. Hosting huge names in the underground DJ’ing scene and even hosting huge, world-renowned events like CREAM, this club opens its doors to party-goers every weekend and stays busy through the night right up until sunrise!. Aside from its DJ sets, this venue has hosted some of the biggest names in popular music too, including Oasis and The Stone Roses!"
"The Warehouse is pretty much the place for underground club nights in Leeds, attracting amazing talent from around the world. But music alone isn't enough – there's Funktion One Dance Stack towers, CO2 jets, laser lights and lighting rigs to create one of the best shows around."
"Bella Italia are an Italian restaurant chain that also offer a surprisingly good value cooked breakfast. Choose from items like the Bella Breakfast (Two rashers of bacon, Cumberland pork sausage, tomato, baked beans, toasted ciabatta, with your choice of fried, scrambled or poached eggs), the Bacon and Egg Pancake Stack (Three buttermilk pancakes topped with three rashers of bacon and two fried eggs. Served with syrup), Fruity Pancake Stack (Three buttermilk pancakes topped with sliced bananas, strawberries and creamy mascarpone. Served with syrup) or the Forte Frittata (Eggs, spinach, new potatoes, red peppers, spicy ‘nduja sausage, pepperoni, and green chillies)."
"09/06/2021: We had an amazing lunch at the Bella Italian in York. The food we had was delicious, and brought to us quickly. The waiter, Danish, was attentive and even brought us some discounted drinks!"
"The Malayalam word ‘tharavadu’ roughly translates as keeping traditions alive – and that’s certainly the ethos of this charming Keralan restaurant, which you’ll find just across the road from Leeds train station. They cover a wide variety of southern Indian dishes, among which you’ll find some unusual treats. Time Out tip: Look out for crab cooked in coconut sauce, excellent fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake."
"Voted best Indian cuisine two years in a row, Tharavadu is a Michelin recommended restaurant located at Mill Hill in Leeds. Quoted on their website, people can’t seem to say enough good things about this place!. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming."
"The patty slingers are whipping up all things comfort food, with an extensive and quirky selection of chicken, beef and vegan chows, alongside boozy slushies and shakes."
"One of Harrogate’s oldest hotels, the Crown keeps it regal, as its flag-flying entrance suggests. Interiors are elegant, in blue, gold and red, lit by sparkling chandeliers – a fine setting for a traditional Sunday roast of local beef with Yorkshire pudding. Soaring ceilings in bedrooms induce peaceful sleep."
"It is especially convenient to go to the pavilion, walk to Bettys Tea House, and the train station is very close. Except that the room is old but historical. Harohart itself is a traditional English town"
"08/04/2021: A warm understated welcome greeted me from a kind lady who promptly served me a pizza and coffee for my walk home. Both were on point and with service like that I’ll be returning for ice cream and cake as I pass by, next time."
"Roberto Authentic Italian Gelato is an artisanal gelato offering freshly made gelato every day for you and your family. Also serving coffee, cakes, pastries and tasty pizzas. Open for take-away and deliveries everyday 10am-5pm."
"Choose from a variety of unusual flavours like Orange Blossom and Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Sit in or takeaway for a stroll along the city walls. Savoury treats also available."
"Commonly known as Saint Anne's Cathedral, Leeds cathedral is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Diocese of Leeds, and is the seat of the Bishop of Leeds. This is one of the most significant heritages building which is surrounded by the modern city of Leeds. The original cathedral was located in St. Anne's Church in 1878, but that building was demolished around 1900."
"One of the most impressive Catholic Cathedrals in the whole of the UK, Leeds Cathedral is a vital attraction for anyone with an interest in religious structures. The dramatic Gothic Revival building may only be small in size but this is more than made up for with its impressive interior. Leeds Cathedral | © Michael Beckwith / Wikimedia"
