The Best Cheap Eats in Leeds
"From sweet crêpes to fluffy American pancakes and authentic Breton galletes, there’s so many options you’ll be positively spoilt for choice. If you’re after something savoury, you can get a gallete with cheese, creamed spinach and Lishman’s ham."
"Look no further than East 59th, a rooftop bar and restaurant channelling New York vibes. Venture up for one of the best bottomless brunches in the city, enjoyed in their chic dining room or out on their gorgeous terrace."
"It’s one of the city’s most glamourous dining venues thanks to its prestigious location on the top floor of Trinity Leeds. While the sleek and modern interior is certainly inviting, a visit to Angelica wouldn’t be complete without heading onto the wraparound outdoor terrace to take in the panoramic views. A popular cocktail destination, it’s a great venue to kick-start your evening."
"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."
"Grab a seat on Angelica’s terrace and enjoy a luxurious brunch or two-course lunch with bottomless prosecco for £28.95pp. It’s available every Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm, so you literally have all day. No need to wake up early if you don’t fancy it!"
"Situated in the very centre of this exciting city, Headrow House is a fantastic all-day bar and nightclub that draws inspiration from its history as a former textile mill whilst maintaining a cosy and modern feel with its German beerhall-style seating. Spread out over multiple floors, this venue hosts DJ sets on club nights at the weekend and makes for a great backdrop to an awesome night. Spread out over four floors, this huge space even has two roof terraces where you can enjoy some fresh air and views of the rest of 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 charming restaurant housed in a former textile mill serves quality dishes in an adorable setting. It’s the kind of place you can visit with friends, on a date or with your parents at the weekend."
"Overlooking the River Aire at Granary Wharf, Water Lane Boathouse is one of the best alfresco dining spots in Leeds. It’s great when the sun’s shining, but don’t worry, they have heaters and covered seating too. Their menu takes a two-pronged approach – Neapolitan-style sourdough pizza, made in a hand-crafted Italian oven, and juicy burgers, stacked high with everything from Yorkshire beef to Magic Mountains vegan patties."
"Sitting on the banks of the River Aire, Water Lane Boathouse has gone to great lengths to get the best gin they can find. They have a wide range of well-known names, each of which have their own tonic and garnish. Try Pink Rives with Mediterranean tonic, strawberry and basil or Caorunn with tonic, red apple and raspberries – they’re perfect for sitting out in that impressive waterside beer garden under the sunshine."
"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."
"Just 10 minutes drive from the city centre, Myrtle Tavern is a friendly country pub that’s loved by local families. The welcoming staff, large beer garden and outdoor play equipment create a great environment for both children and parents. They often have fun events for kids too, such as a Santa’s Grotto at Christmas and a bouncy castle in the summer."
"This "top notch pub" came first in line on TripAdvisor for restaurants in Leeds. The Myrtle Tavern in Meanwood was praised by its customers for its roast dinners and "incredible" decorations."
"Fossgate rivals Bishy Road for the title of “independent central” given the preponderance of great locally owned businesses that make it such an epicurean honeypot. Taking its name from its locality, this chameleonesque café bar attracts a varied clientele who come for top notch coffee and snacks during daylight and a warm intimate atmosphere with craft beers, spirits and cocktails later in the day. You feel welcome whether wandering in on your own or part of a group."
"This independent coffee shop and bar is the perfect place to escape into from the bustling Fossgate street!. With a warm, cosy and friendly atmosphere, it’s easy to wile away the hours in here well into the evening. Which is perfect, since they serve up delicious cocktails too."
"The main club in Harrogate located on the first floor there are two bars and a main dance floor, as well as plenty of seating booths around the outside. Generally contemporary dance, although varies during the week with some indie rock and classic retro nights. Open until late on a weekend."
"If you love your food, you’re going to love Leeds – and even better, if your kids aren’t such foodies, there’s still plenty to keep everyone happy. At Trinity Kitchen, there’s a whole collection of street food stands with extra pop-up stalls, so you could eat anything from burgers and burritos to pizza and Pho, as well as a fantastic rolled naan wrap and cinnamon dusted doughnuts. And if you fancy something a bit more adventurous than your kids, they can stick with a simpler option while you can experiment."
"No trip to the Yorkshire Dales would be complete without a visit to Middleham Castle. Once the childhood home of Richard III, you can relive the Castle’s illustrious history and unlock the deeds of its great owners. There you'll be able to witness incredible views of Wensleydale from their viewing platform, and experience many indoor exhibitions, and a 15th Century replica of the Middleham Jewel."

"Let’s face it, it is always a good time for ice cream, but the arrival of spring is just the perfect excuse. Located in Victoria Gate, Amorino is definitely one of the best places for ice cream in Leeds. Chocolate sorbet, blueberry cheesecake, tiramisu … A nice variety of flavours coming in rose-shaped cones."
"This authentic Italian gelato spot is famous in Leeds and for good reason. Scoops come served in a chocolate cone, with gelato presented in the shape of a flower and the option to add on macarons. Find flavours like Banana del Brasile and Dulce de Leche here alongside more traditional choices."
