5 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Leeds
"What: Another brunch spot from our friends at D&D, this time taking its inspiration from the rooftop bars of New York. There's always a buzz in East 59th whether you come for cocktails in the evening or to feast on eggs and pancakes during the day. If you're looking for a bottomless brunch, this is a particularly great option as you have to pay just £15 per person for an hour and a half of free-flowing drinks."
"East 59th’s jungle-like roof terrace is blessed with south-facing views over the city’s skyline, which you can take in at your leisure over dinner, and if the weather doesn’t play, you can cosy up under their heat lamps and parasols to keep warm. From the East Cheeseburger to the Seafood Platter, they have a menu of New York-inspired eats to fill your belly. Fancy something lighter?"
"What: Boasting stunning rooftop views of the city, the terrace at Angelica, which sits six floors up in the Trinity Shopping Centre, is one of Leeds' most popular al fresco dining destinations. It might be known predominantly as a bar but the food menu here certainly isn't to be sniffed at. Head here on weekends for a memorable outdoor brunch or treat yourself to a three-course dinner in the evening, with indulgent dishes such as lobster and chips on offer.Where: Level 6, Trinity Centre, 70 Boar Lane, LS1 6HW"
"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."
"Housed in a former textile mill, Headrow House has been transformed into a vibrant food and drink destination with three floors and two impressive rooftop terraces. The Redondo Beach cocktail bar boasts a variety of original concoctions to try and leads out onto a large outdoor space which features a kitchen and bar. On the floor above sits Kennedy Meadows, a terraced area overlooking the Victoria Quarter, Kirkgate Market and Victoria Gate."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"No round-up of restaurants in Leeds would be complete without mentioning The Reliance. It’s a vintage pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Although it boasts a somewhat understated interior, it contrasts this with its great service and the high-quality food it delivers – which is undoubedtly how their reputation has spread like wildfire."
"Home-cured charcuterie boards are what this pub’s most proud of, though you’ll also find soups, sandwiches, snacks and large plates on its menu. The informal pub setting means The Reliance is well-suited to both solo- and group-dining."
"You get a real sense of the owner’s passion for beer as soon as you walk into The Little Ale House. Every aspect of this “micro-pub” is carefully thought out. Not only is it super trendy and frankly a lovely setting for anyone who enjoys a pint – it’s got an unrivalled selection of micro-brewed beers from breweries in the region."
"A great locals pub offering an excellent selection of food and drink in comfortable surroundings. Pub food is great-value-for-money, and look out for daily ..."
"Hot Lava is one of Ripon’s most popular restaurants and a real favourite within the local community. Named after the hot lava rocks they use on their grill to give a strong and distinctive flavour, the restaurant serves authentic Italian food, grilled meats and traditional pizzas. Starters will set you back between £4.50 and £7.20 and the menu includes traditional dishes like Caprese Salad, Calamari and Fungi Milanese."

"When to go: When you want a little slice of holiday without the air miles!. What to have: Look out for the mind-blowing beef shin pappardelle. Opening first in Harrogate and then Leeds, Stuzzi (short for stuzzichini – little plates), is the place to head for lovers of Italian cuisine done a little differently."
"22/05/2021: We stumbled on this little place and I’m ever so glad we did. It may not look much but the service is friendly and helpful and the food is simply outstanding. I seriously can’t say a bad word against it; I would make the trip 2 hours to Harrogate just to eat here"
"Local produce gets a Mediterranean makeover at this bright and breezy bistro. Classic pizza and pasta dishes are complemented by more ambitious recipes such as crayfish and chorizo risotto, and Moroccan lamb..."
"This restaurant-café, based between our City and Headingley campuses, has an excellent variety of food on offer. They do their best to make their Middle Eastern and Mediterranean style meals suitable for everyone, regardless of dietary requirement. Like any good café they have coffee, but they also have a great selection of teas and herbal teas too."
"Inside the warm and bright La Cafetiere, you’ll find a menu packed with veggie and vegan options. Their menu is Mediterranean, and their food is delicious. You’ll be spoiled for choice here, with vegan options ranging from vegan pizza to falafel wraps, with a whole world of yumminess in between."
"House of Koko is a cool, family-run cafe on the southern edge of Chapel Allerton and it’s a must-visit. You can get a cracking cup of North Star coffee or try one of their loose leaf teas, but don’t just come for the drinks – they have a creative food menu that’s worth checking out. Start with the classic buttermilk and berries pancakes for breakfast or come later in the day for eclectic dishes like their chicken & avocado salad or homemade baked beans on sourdough."
"House of Koko, 62 Harrogate Rd, Leeds, LS7 4LA - Visit now. As well as great Northstar coffee, House of Koko offers a variety of real teas, sourced from around the world, and some very rare indeed. A place where you will always be met with a smile."
"House of Koko is an independent coffee and tea house in Chapel Allerton. Offer hand-pulled Northstar coffee and a wide range of loose teas. Have an ever changing seasonal menu curated by head chef that focuses on healthy, locally sourced produce."
"Oliver’s Pantry is a charming little coffee bar on Ripon’s North Street. Open since 2012, they have a great reputation locally. Alongside great fresh coffee, they serve a delightful range of sweet treats, savoury bites and super tasty hot dishes."
