"Angelica, at the very top of Trinity Leeds, is a luxurious spot at any time of day, but to really get the most out of it we’d recommend visiting at night. Drinking cocktails on their terrace and watching the world go by is an absolute dream, as is their impressive food menu."

"Bar, bakery and as the name suggests, former boathouse, this waterside joint overlooks the canal and is ideally located for a pre or post-lunch family stroll. Board games will keep young visitors well occupied, although their attention may well be diverted by the arrival of Small Victories’ amazing sourdough pizzas. These bad boys are freshly made on site, so feel free to ask for a smaller size if your kids aren’t able to polish off a full portion."
"With a range of craft beers from all over the UK, Water Lane Boathouse knows a thing or two about ice-cold summer sips. Perched on the edge of the canal, this gorgeous space is the perfect place to soak up a few rays with a pint in hand."

"Tucked away in Burley, El Faro excels at taking those takeout classics, and just doing them really well. If you order from within the restaurant, you can see them prepare your pizza before your eyes!. More of a kebab fan?"

Enjoy fresh flavours and bold ingredients from their menu bursting with fresh and hearty dishes to enjoy. Whether it’s a spot of seafood or one of the chef’s specials, whatever dish you choose, you’re bound to be satisfied."
"A survivor of Yorkshire’s ancient fenlands, dating back 15,000 years, Askham Bog is considered one of the most ecologically diverse sites in the UK. The bog itself is made of boulder clay and fen peat, while the land around it is home to roe deer, foxes, newts and frogs. Plants include royal ferns, rare gingerbread sedge and whole rivers of water violets."
"Chop Suey House is a takeaway only establishment, as there is no restaurant and they do not have a delivery service. However, customers say that the quality of the food makes it worth making the trip to collect your takeaway. The portions are a good size, and customers praise the friendly service."
"Many of the reviews for Wen's praise the restaurant's "authentic" dishes which have proved to be a high hit. One man left a glowing review after his first visit. He said: "Flavour was great throughout; rich and rewarding, but with enough subtleties to keep things delicate - my lamb had a well-judged level of chilli, and was lean and moist."
"Wens is a new addition to Leeds’ dining scene, and they have already made the mark with tourists, locals, even a famous critic. Taking over Hansa’s North street space, Wens specialise in authentic family Chinese cooking. The Dan Dan noodles, dumplings, and Kung Po Chicken are all musts."
"This is your chance to try authentic Chinese dishes that rarely make it to these shores. Have you ever tried shredded potatoes covered in glugs of fiery chilli oil?. Or tucked into a whole sea bass stuffed with minced pork and chilli sauce?"
