Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Meanwood

"What: The sixth floor of Leeds' Trinity Centre might not be where you would expect to find a brilliant brunch, but D&D's Angelica serves exactly that. This isn't the place to go if you're looking for a slap-up brunch as this is very much a stylish restaurant rather than a casual café. However, if you are in the market for something a little bit classy, Angelica's menu features everything from a crayfish and brown butter crumpet to buttermilk banoffee pancakes.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."

"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."

"And luckily for you, it has not just one, but two, of the best rooftop gardens too!. Headrow is set in a converted textile mill and is popular among the locals for its great food and drink, as well as for the variety of bars within it. You absolutely need to add it to your weekend in Leeds itinerary if you’re visiting from afar!"

"The first promises long benches, collapsible parasols and overhead heaters, with a toe-tapping soundtrack provided by live DJs. The second is another floor up, with a mix of covered huts and open benches ripe for the picking. This is craft beer heaven, so expect local and global favourites."

"What: So this “brunch” is actually a Sunday roast (sorry, not sorry), but it does involve free-flowing prosecco or red wine, so we’ve included it anyway. Diners looking to get a little merry while indulging in the likes of Cornish crab followed by roast beef or lamb won’t be disappointed as the option to add bottomless booze for 90 minutes is a mere £15 extra. Rude not to, really.Where:Crafthouse, Level 5, Trinity Leeds, 70 Boar Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 6HW"

"This rooftop restaurant makes a big impression, with cool grey and black decor and huge picture windows overlooking the neighbouring church tower. The food presentation and bold flavour combinations on the menu... Street Food in Leeds"

"Fettle is a brilliant find if you’re looking for somewhere to have brunch in Leeds. On the weekend, the Scandinavian-inspired cafe has a special all-day menu that bridges the gap between breakfast and lunch. You’ve got classics like their full English breakfast, but the veggie alternative is arguably even better – you’ll get slices of halloumi or tofu, a free-range egg cooked your way and sourdough toast, served with beautifully seasoned wilted spinach, mixed beans, confit tomatoes and a flat mushroom."

"This Scandinavian-inspired little cafe is a little off the beaten path, but Fettle is well worth seeking out. It’s a bright airy space with long wooden benches and cool light fittings. Grab a cup of Limini coffee, a special Ippuku Japanese tea or one of the special brew teas from Jeeves and Jericho, before poring over their food menu."

"Although it isn’t at the heart of the city, it isn’t far from it either. It’s located less than five minutes walk from Leeds Town Hall. This Scandinavian cafe and restaurant is a great choice for those who love organic and seasonal locally sourced ingredients."

"Family-run and family-friendly, this historic Leeds pub dates back to 1926 and is still going strong to this day, with a focus on high quality, fresh food all washed down with real ale. The bar is lined with Timothy Taylor’s taps, so you can sample some of the finest local beer in Leeds, and the pub restaurant itself is well set up for family visits. You’ll find a children’s menu filled with quality fare like fresh egg pasta with chicken and basil or homemade fish fingers with a selection of veggie sides."

"The Botanist is an absolutely beautiful venue, so if you’re looking for somewhere to have a luxurious bottomless brunch, then this is the one for you. Their bottomless brunch offer lets you choose whatever brunch dish you fancy, and then you can add bottomless drinks for ninety minutes for just £15 per person!. When you see this beautiful restaurant, you’ll be amazed that you’re getting such a fab deal on your bottomless brunch, trust me!"

"One of the Best Bottomless Brunch destinations in York, located along the city’s busy Stonegate street. Stumble into the Botanist and you would be forgiven for thinking you had walked into a secret garden. Their menu is short and as sweet as their triple-layered french toastie, with veggie and vegans also looked after."

"Famous for cocktails (and therefore great for parents), The Botanist also has a cheeky kids’ menu, giving you the perfect excuse to sip a spritz while simultaneously putting in some family time. It’s not your usual child-friendly restaurant, the decor is a little like eating inside a very stylish garden shed, but the creative kids menu just shows how much care they put into their food. The Make Your Own Flatbread Pizza will go down a treat, or there’s a delicious hanging chicken, pepper and sweetcorn kebab too."

"The name gives it away – The Botanist is obsessed with unusual botanical concoctions. They love gin in all its forms, with an extensive list, including some of the UK’s finest – from Leeds Gin to Hunters of Chester, Langley’s of Birmingham and Campfire Gin of Reading, you can try them all. They mix them up into a series of classic cocktails with a twist – try the English Mojito."

"A beautiful setting renowned for its stunning botanical-themed cocktails, The Botanist is one of my favourite places for bottomless brunch in Leeds. Their boozy brunch is impressive, offering a shortlist of wonderful brunch dishes with bottomless prosecco or Aperol Spritzes for £27.50pp. Stick around once you’ve finished your brunch to try some of their amazing cocktails."

"FREE WI-FI The Unicorn is one of Ripons oldest and most historic inns.The hotel reopened in April 2011, following a £2.1million refurbishment and is part of the JD Wetherspoon hotel group. It is the largest building on the market place and has featured…"

"Situated amongst local tourist attractions, The Unicorn Hotel Wetherspoon is a 10-minute walk from from Ripon Cathedral. It also offers a 24-hour reception, wireless internet and a wake-up service."

"Lotte Inch Gallery first came to York in 2012 in the form of a pop-up art gallery space – but many glorious years later and after several small pop-up exhibitions, the gallery moved from its previous space near York Minster to its current location in bustling 14 Bootham. The eponymous Lotte comes from a background in Art History and Heritage, having worked for The National Trust; Scampston Hall and Gardens; and The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery at The University of Leeds, amongst others – making her a mastermind when it comes to art. The gallery is the ideal place to discover new artists, designers and makers, alongside established names and figures, hoping to be a “welcoming and inclusive place with a regularly changing programme of exhibitions."

"Trinity Leeds is a big shopping centre located in the heart of Leeds. Available from Mondays to Sundays, they are open to cater to the different needs of all shoppers across the town. With over 120 shops, you would certainly have an enjoyable time shopping for clothes, shoes, accessories and other articles that are good for men, women and children."

"Expect the usual array of obscene burgers that promise to fulfil the brand’s ‘come hungry, leave wobbly’ motto, along with hotdogs, fries, sides and hard shakes. Kids and dogs are both welcome and vegans are catered for too."

"Step away from the soggy meal deal sandwich, and head to MEATLiquor for a real feed, with a lunch deal available during the week that gives you any burger, fries and a soda for a tenner. Mon-Fri, 12-5pm, £10"
