Best 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."
"Nestled on the fifth floor of Trinity Leeds, Angelica will cater for all your alfresco dining needs. Their rooftop terrace comes complete with breathtaking skyline views as well as heaters and canopies if the weather demands. They have a tantalising selection of sharing boards and small plates, or you can dive straight in with one of their mains."
"Angelica has the highest rooftop bar in Trinity Leeds, and the views across the city are absolutely incredible. See alsoA Movie Lover's Guide to the West Midlands. The terrace is super Instagrammable, too, as it’s decorated with trees, lavender and shrubbery."
"Headrow House has dominated the outdoor seating arena in Leeds, with a spacious second-floor roof terrace with plenty of seating and sprawling views. Headrow House is known for its creative decor, a wide variety of drinks including an array of craft beers, and an ample and diverse food menu. As a former textile mill, this vast venue is also the perfect spot to catch frequent live gigs and music events."
"When: Headrow house is open every day till late evening but times for the restaurant do vary, so why not check out their website?. Located in a formal textile mill, Headrow House houses two roof-terraces which offer views over the Victorian Quarter, a grill restaurant, a beer hall and a live venue."
"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."
"If you're looking to escape the chaos of the city centre, head to Water Lane Boathouse, the gorgeous pub that's located on the banks of Leeds' Canal Wharf. Watch narrowboats float by as you tuck into a selection of hearty burgers and stone-baked pizzas."
"A stone’s throw away from Granary Wharf, Water Lane Boathouse overlooks Leeds canal and is a great place to visit on a sunny day. They have a spacious water-facing patio, as well as seating inside and upstairs, meaning you’ll never feel too crowded."
"The ultimate alfresco spot, Water Lane Boathouse boasts stunning views of Leeds' Canal Wharf, as well as a mouthwatering menu. Take a window seat or perch on one of the outdoor benches to watch the world float by as you chow down."
"Having first opened its doors in Chapel Allerton over 15 years ago, it’s the result of the passion and dedication of former Bangkok street food sensation Ban Kaewkraikhot. Although the original Chapel Allerton restaurant is still a flourishing culinary destination, they’ve since opened another restaurant nearer to the city centre (and a few more across Yorkshire.). Sukhothai is well regarded for both their service and their food, with an extensive and finely tuned menu of exquisite Thai dishes, which are as aromatic in smell as they are in flavour."
"This is a good place to take your parents when they come to visit. Just a little too far on the fancy side to be affordable to students, but still delivering on the quality of food, ambience and service, it’s a sure-fire way to impress mum and dad when they come and eat out in Leeds. They really go above and beyond to give you an authentic Thai experience, from the little bowls carrying complimentary jasmine tea to the drumming and song and dance they make when it’s someone’s birthday."
"This mini-chain is clearly doing something right: it has branches in the city centre, in the up-and-coming areas of Headingley and Chapel Allerton, as well as out in Harrogate. The Sukhothai ethos combines high-quality South-East Asian cookery, impeccable service and generous plates that ensure all patrons leave full and with smiles on their faces. Time Out tip: If street food’s more your bag, check out Sukothai’s sister restaurant Zaap."
"If you’re after a classic bottomless brunch option, then All Bar One might tickle your fancy. They have a good selection of food, with an even amount of veggie and non-veggie options, which is amazing!. You’ll find popular dishes on their menu like eggs benedict and Belgian waffles, so it’s perfect for those of you who love a more traditional brunch."
"All Bar One “is a stylish space for spirited people to meet with friends. We’re all about celebrating life and sharing food, drink and experiences together. We’re here from your morning coffee to those Saturday night Espresso Martinis and everything else in between."
"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."
"Rather than having a set menu, Roots and Fruits operate using their Specials board, meaning the menu changes regularly in accordance with what produce is on offer at the local market, as they are passionate about supporting local businesses and shopping locally. One thing you can count on is that almost everything on their menu will be plant-based, though, as well as there being a few vegetarian options. Expect classic café fare like soups, burgers and pastas, among other things."
"This little, independently owned cafe in Leeds is a trinity of satisfaction for socially-conscious parents. Firstly, it’s a child-friendly place to eat, with all the food locally-sourced and freshly made. Secondly, the menu is predominantly plant-based and exclusively vegetarian, Finally, and most importantly, it’s easy to get pushchairs in."
"A post shared by AnnoniBA (@annonibags) on Dec 18, 2016 at 3:50am PST. Among the many shops, cafes and bars strewn around Headingley, this tiny bakery can easily go unnoticed, but the smell of freshly baked breads and cakes will be more than enough to lure you in. Whether you get something to enjoy back at home or to eat on the road, their delectable bakes are sure to tempt you back again and again."
"The rooftop terrace isn’t always open, but when it is, you’re in for a treat, as it’s a wonderful little spot. They offer amazing beers, wines, and cocktails for you to enjoy. The tucked-away sun trap takes you a world away from the busy city centre, so it’s a great spot for a chilled drink."
"When it comes to classic cocktails and cheesy slices, Roland's knows a thing or two. Head over to the cool Call Lane haunt for a winning trio of potent libations, speakeasy-esque interiors and a relaxed atmosphere."
"Just a few metres away from Viva Cuba you’ll find Hasan’s restaurant, serving delicious dishes from the other side of the world. The vegetarian and vegan friendly menu is made up of fresh and innovative dishes from traditional and contemporary Indian cuisine. The stylish decor makes for a great location for a meal shared with family or friends."
