The coolest places to eat in Leeds
"East 59th is one of Leeds' swankiest rooftop restaurants and bars, offering views of the city's gorgeous architecture including the historic Kirkgate Market. Grab a space on their outdoor terrace for jaw-dropping vistas, boujee brunch plates, and NYC-inspired cocktails come nightfall."
"East 59th brings US-inspired cuisine into the centre of Leeds. The New York City-style bar and grill offers guests a contemporary American dining experience throughout the day, then seamlessly transitions into a sophisticated Manhattan-style rooftop nightspot."
"East 59th is a New York-style loft with a sun-soaked roof terrace. It’s carpeted in astroturf, covered in leafy plants and decked out in stylish wicker furniture. Settle down in this urban jungle, under the shade of the massive parasols to grab a few drinks."
"It's not hard to see why Angelica is regarded as one of Leeds' best rooftop restaurants. Along with a mouthwatering menu of fine dining dishes, a beautiful sky-high terrace and a stellar selection of cocktails, the Trinity haunt boasts enviable views across the city."
"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."
"After a busy day shopping in Leeds Trinity, enjoy lunch, dinner or drinks in the sky at Angelica's rooftop bar, with panoramic views across the city."
"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."
"This bar is known for always being packed, so if you're planning on going, plan ahead. To get the latest email updates from Yorkshire Live,click here."
"What: If you don't mind drifting out of the city centre a bit and over the river, Water Lane Boathouse is well worth the walk. Sitting right on the waterfront in Holbeck, it's home to one of Leeds' biggest beer gardens and serves a number of different craft beers from various local breweries. If the idyllic location and drinks menu wasn't enough already, there's also a mouthwatering pizza and burger menu on offer her."
"For gorgeous riverside views, tasty burgers and pizzas and a whole lotta craft beer, head over to Water Lane Boathouse. Perched on the edge of Leeds' Canal Wharf, this relaxed spot is a guaranteed winner for summertime lunches and after-work drinks."
"Situated by the canal, in summer this place hosts gorgeous views. A little further out than others, it is worth it as it's perched on the edge of Lock Number One at Leeds' Canal Wharf, and offers some delicious pizza."
"A friendly, traditional coaching inn on a main street in the centre of Pickering. Inside it's all dark wood furniture, low-slung beamed ceilings and cheerful locals with dogs propping up the bar. A smart, stone-flagged restaurant and glass-walled ‘bothy’ lend a stylish air but the overall ambience is unstuffy and relaxed."
"The Rooftop at East Parade Social is bang in the middle of Leeds, overlooking some amazing sights – Leeds Town Hall being just one. Take in the sights as you soak up the sun – you’ll get plenty of that."
"Totally possible in this social dining space that combines hipster decor with a kickass rooftop, and has a regular ‘Dog of the Day’ on Instagram (see above)."

"Heavenly Desserts has now landed in Bradford and the name says it all and is most definitely true. We have just attended their V.I.P launch event (Thank you for the invite!) and loved it, so I had to get typing and share the details with you. Heavenly Desserts has long been a favourite of mine so when I found out there was one opening in Bradford I was excited, it will make dessert decisions a…"
