"When the weekend rolls around, East 59th becomes inundated with daytime revellers getting their fix of free-flowing fizz and brekkie dishes. But it's not just the bottomless brunch that attracts the masses. The rooftop gem also touts citywide vistas that are sure to wow."
"Address: Victoria Gate, 3rd Floor Rooftop, George St, Leeds LS2 7AU. Phone number: 0113 426 5050. East 59th boasts a sophisticated Manhattan-style rooftop restaurant, where you can drink and dine in style."
"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."
"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."
"Headrow Houseis home to Michelin Guide recommended restaurant Ox Club. Take a walk upstairs to the Headrow House roof terrace and see the neon lights of one of Leeds’ most famous landmarks. There are two levels, the upper level, Kennedy Meadows offers views of Victoria Quarter, the domes of Kirkgate Market and Victoria Gate."
"When: Headrow house is open every day till late evening but times for the restaurant do vary, so why not check out their website?. Located in a formal textile mill, Headrow House houses two roof-terraces which offer views over the Victorian Quarter, a grill restaurant, a beer hall and a live venue."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"Opening on June 25 in Leeds, the Flight Club is known as the home of indoor social darts. The venue brings people together combining traditional dart playing as well as brunch and cocktails.

"Dusk always reminds me somewhat of Evil Eye as it has a quirky and unique vibe to it. I’ve had many a night out that ended with drinks in Dusk and there’s also an elusive magician that often pops in to perform magic tricks right in front of you; it’s even more impressive when you’re quite a few cocktails in!. The cocktails also have the coolest names including the ‘Phil Collins’, ‘Graham Norton’ (a personal favourite of mine) and the ‘Britney Spears’."
"Leeds’ famed shopping arcades are not just a place to stroll around and shop. They do represent the city’s cultural institution and have stood to represent the city’s growth as well.
