Bistro in Leeds

“We stopped here for a late lunch and it was delicious! Would definitely recommend. Nice range of specials and menu items to choose from. Friendly staff. Would definitely return, thanks!”

“Excellent meal and service. Large portions so go hungry! We would definitely go again. We had the steaks served on the hot stones so were able to cook it to our own taste”

“Absolutely beautiful food. Everything about the experience was wonderful. Will definitely be back.”

“The food was delicious. Breakfast was extremely filling.. if definitely fills you for the day. Presentation brill. Staff friendly and warm welcoming was our 1st time trying here. We would definitely return alil cramped for seating but over cosy place”

“The best Double stack + beef burger with bacon and cheese and chips and coleslaw... it was the best burger I've had in England! Highly recommended!!!”

“The food was fantastic. Service was impeccable, friendly, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Prices were more than fair for the quality delivered. This is a restaurant that takes pride in its craft, going above and beyond to exceed expectations. A true standout, wholeheartedly recommended!”

“My meal here was absolutely fantastic! The mushroom was rich and silky, the cheese was so delicious—each bite felt like a treat. The steak, cooked to a juicy medium as requested, was tender and seasoned flawlessly. A huge shout-out to the server Brad! He was attentive without being intrusive, recommended the perfect dishes, and checked in just enough to ensure everything was perfect. His friendly smile and quick service made the evening even more enjoyable. Will definitely be back soon!”

“Brilliant food from starter to dessert. Made us feel very special on our anniversary. Servers brilliant and not overbearing. Very romantic and cosy ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!”

“A gorgeous restaurant. The staff were so friendly. Myself and a friend were heading to Leeds Bradford airport and wanted a good feed before making our way back to Ireland. The food and portions were excellent.”

“I visited Cafe No 8 before Covid and really loved the food. They shorten their operation hours after Covid and we finally made it for Sunday lunch today. We had a starter, mains and dessert. The food was just as good as I remembered. Service was good too. This place just celebrated their 20 years' anniversary in York which tells you that they got to be good to last that long given the ultra competitive food scene here. The food was of top quality, refined and cooked with care. We had beef and pork tenderloin and they were so tender. The potatoes were roasted perfectly. And we had a selection of vegetables (Broccolini, Parsnip, Carrots, Spring Onions etc) not over cooked like many places. And I was so glad to try the Dark Belgian Chocolate Truffle with Black Sesame Ice Cream. I love black sesame ice cream but is a rarity to find them in York. I wish I could buy a tub of their black sesame ice cream and bring it home. If you are looking for a place with a relaxed atmosphere, serving non-pretentious and delicious food, I recommend Cafe No 8 Bistro.”

“Very decent place, went few times. My little boy wont eat spicy food, so he was offered lovely plain chicken meal. They do lovely tea and coffee. Can highly recommend it.”

“Absolutely loved this, this was my first experience with Spanish tapas and was quite confused with the menu not knowing what anything was but after randomly selecting a range of mini tapas and ordering both the meat and the seafood paella to share with everyone no one was disappointed. Amazing view of Leeds dock by our table and we loved the ability to stand out on the balcony whenever we needed some fresh air. Highly recommend for a family dinner or perfect for a date”

“Best breakfast I’ve had in a longtime! I went in with a hangover the lovely ladies in the kitchen and on the counter really looked after me!!! Great food and coffee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“No 10...just the best for food and lovely customer service. Thank you for today, it was for my mum and to celebrate her birthday too. You have all been so lovely and totally made her day.”

“Well what can I say, the food and service here was excellent. If we are in the area again this will be our first port of call. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”

“Wow what a amazing little restaurant, where to start, my starter was absolutely beautiful, I had meatballs in a tomato sauce with new potatoes and carrots, the sauce was so tasty, and everything was fresh, my main I got sea bass with green beans, new potatoes, prawns, with a tomato sauce, wow the sea bass was cooked to perfection, social distancing was followed and I really enjoyed my experience this deserves more than the 5 stars, will definitely be back very soon. Thanks for amazing food and service.”

“A very nice Greek restaurant. The staff were friendly and food was really delicious. The lamb chop and the chips were yummy and well seasoned. Chicken and pork souvlaki was also well cooked. We really enjoyed our meal.”

“My favorite vietnamese restaurant in Leeds! I usually get Pho from this place but I tried other dishes this time and they all impressed me. Also shout out to Quinn for being attentive and friendly. She made our dining experience better”

“Food and service were great. Hard to hear yourself if there is a big group in at the same time as you”

“Always been a fan of the Turkish/Greek sort of grills and what a little gem this place is in the middle of, out of all places, Pontefract (no offense to anyone from Pontefract). It's a pretty cosy establishment, about 26 covers max, but any place of that size and a focused menu set, typically means they can focus on the quality of the dishes, and boy, tonight's meal was a joy. For anyone going for the first time, I'd definitely recommend the mixed grill as it has a full range of lamb kebab, lamb chop, adana (which btw was awesome, right lamb mince consistency with the delicate balance of herbs and spices), chicken kebab and chicken wing. Rice was flavourful and the salad refreshing with the appropriate amount of dressing. Other half has the chicken Marmanis, which was indeed tasty, white wine sauce with the mushrooms just right without being too salty or sharp. Only a slight blip was a tough tendon in her piece of chicken - something that can be easily corrected I'm sure. Baklava for dessert is home made rather than shop bought so that's a massive positive for me. All washed down with a Turkish apple tea to cleanse the pallette to end a surprising but delightful evening meal. Service was excellent and attentive, the team there are super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back and is an establishment we will bring friends and family to. A must visit. 5*. If the team are reading this? teşekkür ederim”

“My wife and I have just had our Sunday lunch and we both really enjoyed it.Would certainly recommend a visit.Great service in a relaxed atmosphere.”

“I stopped for a quick lunch break. The best beef stew I had in a long time. The portion is filing, the ingredients are fresh. Lovely and caring staff, attention to details and fantastic vibrant atmosphere. I can’t wait to take my friends, will surely be back.”

“I loved everything about this place. I love the art on the walls, the fact we can get savoury waffles, the coffees tasted good! Rest assured that I will come back.”

“Had such a great evening there. The food was delicious, we loved the options (not too many but quite varied, so great for people with different taste). Would absolutely recommend, will come back!”

“Really great Indian, very friendly staff and the food is amazing. What's not to like.”

“Lovely hotel, last visited 6 years ago and still as good as it was the last time. Great vibe and ambiance, my room - a Club - was very large, extremely clean, and comfortable. Nice little touches like four Nespresso pods, fancy tea, nice biscuits and a couple of Ferraro Rochers. Beds incredibly comfortable, couldn’t hear any noise at all, and black out curtains kept out the light! It was my birthday stay and was pleasantly surprised to receive a voucher for two free cocktails in the hotel bar. The bartender was fab, environment was great - 10/10 all round for the stay and would def come back. Price/performance ratio excellent.”

“Staff and service fantastic. Really good dinner. Would recommend. Very nice margarita and chicken burger.”

“Had a lovely lunch today. The atmosphere was so chilled very quiet and lovely music playing. The food was great as always. Excellent service too…..don’t be fooled though every weekend night you’d be lucky to get a table as it’s so good here.”
