Where to Get Your Street Food Fix – These Vendors Ain't Going Nowhere
"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. Visit: Victoria Gate, Eastgate, LS2 7AU - east59th.co.uk"
"Sitting at the top of beautiful shopping destination Victoria Gate, is East 59th rooftop restaurant, bar and terrace. Oozing laid back Manhattan style, East 59th offers contemporary dining and cocktails. The outdoor terrace is a little haven in the city, surrounded by greenery, wooden furniture and decking."
"East 59th is a New York-style loft with a sun-soaked roof terrace. It’s carpeted in astroturf, covered in leafy plants and decked out in stylish wicker furniture. Settle down in this urban jungle, under the shade of the massive parasols to grab a few drinks."
"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."
"Grab a seat on Angelica’s terrace and enjoy a luxurious brunch or two-course lunch with bottomless prosecco for £28.95pp. It’s available every Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm, so you literally have all day. No need to wake up early if you don’t fancy it!"
"Set high in the Leeds Trinity Building, Angelica is a mainstay when it comes to Leeds restaurants with views. Given its high position, both the indoor and outdoor dining spaces look over the city, making date night all the more special."
"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."
"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."
"Headrow House isn’t just one of the coolest bars in Leeds city centre – it also puts on an array of club nights. But while they might fly under the radar, they’re worth checking out. You could spend the night partying in their second-floor gig room, or go along to one of their day and night terrace parties up on the roof."
"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."
"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 Reliance is a comfortable-as-old-slippers bar where you can happily while away an afternoon reading or chatting with a Yorkshire beer or good glass of natural wine in hand. Yet it's also one of Leeds' best... North African in Leeds"
"Pavement Vaults is yet another one of the best places to eat and drink in York as it serves a hearty selection of both yummy food and alcoholic beverages and is a great place to enjoy a more intimate drink with friends, family or your partner. There’s a small downstairs area with comfortable booths that’s great if you want to be a little more removed from the hustle and bustle of the bar upstairs. 2 Piccadilly, York YO1 9NU"
"This subterranean drinking establishment that has a touch of speakeasy in its Spanish DNA has become a local favourite. Regulars value its excellent selection of artisan drinks and also its slightly clandestine credentials with its blink and you’ll miss it single door entrance on Little Stonegate. Its big next door brother Kennedy’s bar is the extrovert whilst Sotano plies its trade in the shadows."
"Sotano is an independent bar and restaurant in York serving Mediterranean tapas plates and classically-inspired cocktails. Authentic with a modern twist, our food and drink is crafted by our well-traveled and technically astute team. New discoveries and seasons inspire our menus …"
"The glamorous boutique hotel Mamaison Hotel in Leeds is anything but simple. Occupying a Victorian-style property, this hotel isn’t shy when it comes to mixing and matching colours, velvet furniture and decorations to create a dramatic and vibrant ambience. Nothing feels monotonous at this hotel wherein guest rooms, facilities, and other accommodations have unique and artistic designs that combine classical and modern aesthetics."
"Malmaisons are dotted across the country but the Leeds outpost manages to feel like an independent boutique hotel. This plush, atmospheric establishment set in a Victorian office block is imposing and intimate at the same time. It makes a perfect overnight stay for anyone wanting a weekend in the city."
"Malmaison Hotel is a historic and dramatic building, full of character and individual style located in Leeds. Beautifully refurbished cool and sexy rooms with power…"
"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!!"
"Thomas Atkinson, an 18th century English architect, is famous for remaking the Bishopthorpe Palace in York in the Gothic Revival style. Though a rather influential figure of his time, very little is known about Atkinson's private life. His house, located at 20 St. Andrewgate, is one of the sparse evidences of his life in York."
"Clifford’s Tower is another one of the cities most famous attractions. Whilst taking photos from outside of the tower is completely free of charge, ticket fees do apply if you wish to go inside. Once inside, you can check out some great views of York from the top."
"With breathtaking views of York, Clifford’s tower is an important stop off for anyone new to the city. Originally part of York Castle, the tower was built by William the Conqueror and has been used as both a prison and a royal mint."
"Not only is Issho one of the finest restaurants in the city, it’s also home to one of the best rooftop terraces – and it’s perfect during the colder months. The 700-square-foot, south-facing terrace at the top of Victoria Gate comes complete with cosy sofas, luxurious throws and warming heat-lamps at every table. While you’re there, you can enjoy seasonal cocktails from the bar, which will pair perfectly with their tempting Japanese small plates like prawn gyoza, katsu chicken bao buns and salmon sashimi."
"What: Issho – which means ‘together’ in Japanese – champions dishes that are designed to be shared among family and friends, and its weekend brunch menu is no different. Served buffet style, with hot dishes served to the table on request, this contemporary Japanese dining destination’s bottomless brunch offer includes a wide selection of sushi, ramen and donburi to soak up the fizz that flows freely for 90 minutes.Where: Issho, Victoria Gate, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2 7AU"
"Venture up to this Leeds rooftop terrace for a moment of peace away from the hustle and bustle. Littered with decorative cherry blossom, Issho is the ideal venue for a celebratory meal, with a spacious urban oasis, outdoor heaters and comfy seats made for relaxing evenings."
"Highchairs Available, Wheelchair Accessible, Serves Alcohol, Full Bar, Accepts Mastercard, Accepts Visa, Accepts Discover, Takeout, Reservations, Seating, Table Service, Accepts Credit Cards"
"The website defaults to the menu in Japanese, which says to me that this restaurant is catering to the large number of Japanese visitors we receive. I’d say that it does not get more authentic than that!. If you want sushi like it’s served in Japan, then this looks ideal."
