10 Best Places To Eat 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."
"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."
"It’s one of the city’s most glamourous dining venues thanks to its prestigious location on the top floor of Trinity Leeds. While the sleek and modern interior is certainly inviting, a visit to Angelica wouldn’t be complete without heading onto the wraparound outdoor terrace to take in the panoramic views. A popular cocktail destination, it’s a great venue to kick-start your evening."
"Nestled on the fifth floor of Trinity, Angelica is one of the best rooftop bars in Leeds. You can look out across the city from one of their stylish metal tables or luxurious outdoor sofas, which are all kitted out with parasols and heat lamps. Wine is what they do best."
"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."
"With its Germanic beer hall, swanky redondo beach and that roof terrace for long sunset sessions, Headrow is dating paradise. With buy one get the second for £1 cocktails, you can neck the nerves and maybe even get a snap for the ‘gram. Loved up couples tend to hang here looking smug, so you might as well join in."
"This charming restaurant housed in a former textile mill serves quality dishes in an adorable setting. It’s the kind of place you can visit with friends, on a date or with your parents at the weekend."
"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."
"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."
"Its New York-inspired interior and state of the art DJ booth (don’t worry, it’s not blasting out tunes at 3pm in the afternoon) draw cool crowds, but there’s no doubt it’s one of Leeds’ most child-friendly bars. A warm welcome is extended to all, although their collection of 80s board games go down especially well with younger visitors. They don’t have a kids’ menu, but everything is such great value that you won’t mind one bit."
"This pretty timber framed building dating back to 1190 is tucked away around the corner from the Shambles and is celebrating ten years as one of York’s must visit hostelries. Visitors are often fooled by the small ground floor bar which belies the Tardis like nature of what’s above their heads. Two further floors offer comfortable drinking space in asymmetrical wooden architecture."
"One of three York Brewery pubs (the others are the Last Drop at 27 Colliergate and the Yorkshire Terrier at 10 Stonegate), the Mare is particularly handy, as it's almost on York Minster's doorstep. Normally there are four or five guest ales on at a time but, by chance on this visit, eight pumps were occupied by York Brewery beers. Its mainstay Guzzler (fresh as the proverbial daisy, a dry, easy-drinking pale), was joined by the likes of Wonkey Donkey and Black Bess."
"The Wonkey Donkey, as its affectionately known, has the best and most eclectic range of beers of the 3 York Brewery pubs in the city centre. It’s a no nonsense welcoming pub with a modern, light airy feel and is deceptively accommodating with a back conservatory type area and small beer garden. Best-selling York Brewery real ales such as Guzzler and Centurion sit alongside guests from innovative local breweries plus ones as far apart as Manchester and Devon."
"Krispy Kreme is an internationally beloved donut shop and you can get a taste of their famous sweet treats in Trinity Leeds. They’ve been perfecting their Original Glazed Donut for over 75 years, so you can bet it’s lip-smackingly good. Sweet, crisp and fluffy in all the right places, take a bite and it almost melts in your mouth."
"Whether it’s a single doughnut or a sharers dozen box, no matter what type of doughnut you love, Krispy Kreme has them."
"Our chefs prepare over 150 authentic dishes from around the world every day and the Live Cooking Stations provide fabulous taste and entertainment. We provide a casual dining experience like no other, offering a balanced choice of delicious food, giving our guests added value at a fixed price, all within luxurious surroundings. 19 Bridge St, York YO1 6DAT: 01904 633800"
"Panda Mami is an all-you-can-eat restaurant tucked away just off Ouse Bridge. They have all sorts of food stations, including a sushi bar. They have other sections, like a traditional carvery, Japanese food, Chinese food, Indian Food and a huge dessert selection, including a chocolate fountain."
