Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Ledsham

"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"

"This Trinity Leeds rooftop restaurant boasts panoramic views and sleek interiors. Alongside a variety of fine dining options and an impressive cocktail menu, Angelica transforms into a lively bar when night falls, regularly playing host to club nights, DJ sets and summertime BBQs."

"With a wrap around terrace and panoramic city views, Angelica is a real show-stopper. Relax in a luxurious setting with a cocktail prepared by one of their skilled mixologists. What better way to spend a summer’s day?"

"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."

"A former textile mill and one-time grotty dive pub, the historic building that now houses Headrow House was given a hefty makeover to transform it into the four-floor nightlife venue it is today."

"Headrow House has one of the biggest outdoor terraces in Leeds, set over two floors. It offers stunning views over the rooftops of the city."

"What to have: Their seven-course tasting menu for the whole table. Crafthouse celebrates the very best of British and sat high above Trinity shopping centre, it too celebrates the best of Leeds’ historic influence and architecture. Known for their stylish presentation, floral interiors, and Angelica, the swish panoramic cocktail bar above, head up in their private scenic lift, and you’re in for a treat."

"This British restaurant, sitting pretty atop Trinity Leeds and accessed via its very own lift, is one slick Rick. Everything about it is suave, from the attentive wait staff who seem to notice you need a drink top-up even before you do, to the stunning dishes that have you jumping to take a picture before you dig in. Sure it’s posh, but it’s not only posh."

"Crafthouse, 5th Floor Trinity Leeds, 70 Boar Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 6HW. Found within Trinity Leeds, Crafthouse is a name which resounds with foodies in Leeds. Its British inspired menu boasts a quality selection of intricately crafted dishes which range from the staple to the eccentric."

"What: It may be best known for its fantastically priced evening set menus but Fettle's brunch offering is just as impressive as the rest of its food. Head to this intimate café and restaurant for brunch on both on weekdays and weekends to enjoy the likes of chai spiced red rice porridge, mushrooms on pumpernickel rye toast, and salt beef Benedict.Where:73 Great George Street, LS1 3BR"

"Fettle is a local favourite in Leeds thanks to its yummy food and charming Scandinavian-style décor. Their brunch menu has dishes from across the globe and plenty of options for us meat-free folk to tuck into, while their smaller evening menu also has several veggie-friendly options. If you’re after a calming atmosphere and some delicious food, then get booked in here now."

"New homemade pasta restaurant Sarto opened this autumn, just south of the bus station, in Munro House. Its simple menu is full of well-considered and refined ingredients, and the wine list is just as well thought-through, once again using Leeds’ favourite winos (sommelier? Wino? Potato potahto, we say) Latitude and Wayward to source some exciting and gluggable options. The wine menu changes frequently (the food does too!) but you know there’s going to be a natural white or orange perfect to pair with our current favourite ‘gnocchi on jerusalem artichoke puree with chervil’, and a bodied red to go with the ‘lamb neck ragu with mint’."

"Canteen-like Sarto pays homage to two things Italy excels at: sleek minimalist design and fresh, handmade pasta. Slow-cooked ragùs of lamb shoulder or pork and ’nduja speak for themselves, as do classics like fettucine with wild mushrooms and marsala sauce. The meat-free options (say, campanelle with roast garlic, lemon and caper butter) are object lessons in letting a few bold flavours shines."

"Leeds' very first dedicated pasta restaurant arguably offers the greatest value for money anywhere in the city. Diners sit overlooking the open kitchen, which is slap bang in the middle of the restaurant, and the chefs are absolute masterminds. The menu is pretty limited, but each and every dish is a belter."

"Of course, Scottish craft brew purveyors BrewDog have earned their title as one of Leeds' best spots for a craft brew. With a dazzling array of creations on tap alongside a fridge full of bottles to explore, they're a top choice for refeshing beer and juicy burgers."

"09/06/2021: We always come here when we want the proper Italian experience.The restaurant is always full and has a great buzzy atmosphere,With people laughing and enjoying themselves, it is a happy place.The menu is varied and has a great selection of dishes to choose from.We have a few starters which we all share and may be a pizza , which is made with homemade dough and cooked in a wood burning pizza oven so it has that wonderful smoky taste.Then we have steaks , we have a few and share them with some potatoes which are simply amazing and some sauces.The steaks are chargrilled which is the best way to cook steak in my opinion and they have such a great taste and are so tender and always cooked to perfection.For dessert again we have a selection which we all help ourselves to the Ricotta cheese cake is fantastic and so is the Tiramisu.The service is relaxed and friendly as you would expect from a small Italian restaurant.What makes the place different from other Italian restaurants is that it has a soul and of course Paolo the man himself.He makes the place with his wonderful personality and welcoming attitude , nothing is too much trouble for him.So if you want a great authentic Italian experience with fantastic food, cooked well and great service, this is the place to go. 09/06/2021: The owner Paolo is a rear character. He brings such a fun and warm atmosphere to the restaurant."

"Two things are ‘God’ in chef Paolo Silesu’s rustic Italian restaurant: food and Juventus Football Club. The place is always full of in-the-know foodies and students taking advantage of the reasonably priced menu, but it only adds to the noisy authenticity. Pizzas and pastas make up the bulk of the menu but the regularly changing specials board features Sardinian highlights such as cozze e vongole (mussels and clams cooked in Vernaccia wine with chilli and garlic) or sardines with pesto rosso (pan-seared with onions, rocket and red pesto)."

"Restaurant with ceramics on the walls and a blackboard menu of classic Italian/Sardinian dishes. Truly exceptional home style authentic cooking. Address : 40 Walmgate, York YO1 9TJ, UK"

"Located in (probably) the most beautiful bookshop in the world, Cafe W’s mezzanine level overlooks Bradford’s beautiful former Wool Exchange and now the Waterstones book shop. Serving tea and coffee, cakes and a range of sandwiches, you can also benefit from their book of the month offer – buy the non-fiction book of the month and get a free hot drink – which was a lovely little surprise the last time I visited. Settle yourself down with a good book and spend a few quiet moments in one of Bradford’s most impressive spaces."

"Quite simply the most beautiful setting for a bookstore and coffee shop. Located in a magnificent 19th century Gothic revival architecture building. Marble columns, vaulted ceiling, stone arches offering a panoramic view of the building and book store"

"When sometimes only a fry up will do, head to Fountains Coffee House in Bradford’s Oastler Market. A Bradford institution, Fountains has been serving up breakfasts for over 50 years. Think sausage, egg, chips and beans with a mug of tea on the side."

"It may be on the grounds of Leeds Beckett University, but Beckett Park is open to everyone. It’s a huge park that stretches from Queenswood Drive to Batcliffe Mount, with vast swathes of grassy parkland and a beautiful patch of woodland. There are two tennis courts here and if you head into the woods, you can hunt out Queen Victoria Arch, which was built 250 years ago and altered in 1858 to commemorate the monarch’s historic visit to Leeds."

"Due to its location right next to Leeds Beckett University's Headingley campus, this park is dominated by students during term time. The big, open grass spaces mean it's the perfect place to throw a frisbee or kick a football around. And when it starts to get dark, Headingley's pubs and bars are just a short walk away!"

"This pink facade building on St. Helen’s Square (near Betty’s Tea Rooms) is the official residence of the Lord Mayor of York and has only recently opened to the public. The grand, 800 year old house showcases collections of silverware and ceramics, ceremonial items used by the Lord Mayor as well as recreated 18th century bedrooms and dining rooms. The downstairs kitchen has interactive exhibits and equipment to learn about Georgian cooking ."

"The Georgian-style Mansion House in York is the home of the city's Lord Mayors during their term in office. This is the earliest purpose-built house of this sort still in use – it predates the Mansion House in London by at least 20 years. The foundation stone for the building was laid in 1725, and it was completed seven years later, in 1732."
