   What an amazing little gem of a romantic restaurant in Leeds city centre. The idealised Parisian style was reflected in the decor creating a truly Authentic French experience. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented The staff were friendly and attentive adding to the delightful experience

   Absolutely amazing restaurant. The service was second to none. The food was just perfect. I couldn't have wished for anything better. I highly recommend this place for all. Also very affordable. I proposed to my partner in this restaurant and they made it really special for us, with champagne and home made macaroons. They also presented it on a slate tray with "congratulations". Absolutely amazing

   For our 3rd wedding anniversary celebration, I chose Kendell’s Bistro after seeing it pop up in my social media. After several years of visiting my sister in Paris, I love French food. As soon I stepped through the door, I was in France! From the candle lit tables to the mouthwatering menu. Kendell’s Bistro is as good as, if not even better, than some of the places I have eaten in Paris. It did not disappoint. Obviously, I had to start with the French onion soup. My husband had duck liver pate. For our main, we both chose the slow roast duck leg with dauphinoise potato’s and green beans. I was really looking forward to having a dessert but I was so full from starter and main, I couldn’t let myself not appreciate the dessert to its full potential. So it was a lovely surprise when we received our bill, the staff looking after us, made our visit even more special with two complimentary petit fours that were presented beautifully on a slate that read “Bon anniversaire”. It was a lovely touch to an already wonderful first experience here. Next time, I will either share or skip the starter, as I have the sweetest tooth and I need to try the desserts! The mocktail I had was so tasty. Overall, I can’t wait to visit again. I’ll definitely bring my sister and her French partner when they next visit England. I cannot wait to share the experience of Kendell’s Bistro with them. I especially think her French partner will love to see sticky toffee pudding on the menu! Overall, to summarise my review, the atmosphere, service from wonderful staff and the food were 10/10. One word - flawless! I’m already excited for our next visit. A true Leeds hidden gem which I won’t keep to myself.

   If only Google Maps had a 6 star option - Kendell's Bistro is one of the most enchanting and delightful restaurants I've ever visited. From the moment my partner and I walked in to celebrate our anniversary, we were met by warm and welcoming staff with outstanding and friendly customer service skills. Every member of Sharon and Steve's team were great. The atmosphere of this bistro is leagues ahead of every other restaurant I've been to in Leeds. Lit by candles and decorated with traditional French art pieces, you truly feel in the heart of France - the aurora is truly romantic and magical in all the right ways. Once we were seated, we were treated to a complementary class of fizz which was a nice touch. After some olives to start, we had the Lamb Shank and the Confit of Duck. Wow. Both dishes were plated eloquently and tasted absolutely divine. 10/10. Having enjoyed our meal, we were reassured that we had the table for the rest of the evening, so we enjoyed some wine and soaked up every bit of the atmosphere. To conclude, the work and heart that Sharon and Steve have put into this gem over 17 years shows. With unrivalled character, charm and pure delight, this is what dining is all about.

   A warm, delicate atmosphere with fast service and friendly staff. The food was delightful, tried snails for the first time and enjoyed them. The menu offers most of my go to French dishes - would definitely visit again especially to try the onion soup!

   Visited here for the first time for Valentine’s Day, after hearing about its romantic atmosphere. Firstly, I must say, I absolutely agree. It is absolutely beautiful inside with candlelight and dimmed lightings surrounding. Secondly, the quality of service from the waitresses was outstanding; very professional and helpful. I’d only tried their set menu for valentines, but the food was overall good and well decorated, especially the dessert. However, as to my critical pallets, I thought the beef wellington was slightly too salty so I had to request lemon wedges to neutralise it. The dessert was overly sweet, like every part of it, so maybe an addition of an extra dimension of freshness could really uplift the experience(such as fresh fruit). Again, this was the set valentines menu, so not representative of their general menu, but I will be returning to try it. Lastly, I was surprised the bartender wasn’t able to make a common cocktail off the menu, maybe they didn’t have a bartender for that night as majority of people had wine & champagne instead. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a romantic dinner, or just in general.
