The 30 Best Restaurant in Leeds

“We visited for the first time this weekend. The food was delicious and great portion sizes. I had the goats cheese and my wife had garlic mushrooms. They were fantastic. I then had the chicken on skewers with rice and bbq sauce andmy wife had the steak. Great portion sizes and couldnt finish it all. Nice atmosphere with attentive and welcoming staff. We will be back the next time we are in York. Highly recommended, give it a try you will not be disappointed.”

“Very good Italian restaurant Decent food and huge portions Homemade tiramisu is amazing!”

“Never had a bad meal here! Always super tasty, lovely atmosphere staff always pleasant and attentive”

“Lovely cafe, great prices and staff were so friendly. Definitely will visit again.”

“Amazing meal, great price and lovely friendly staff. Definitely recommend”

“My friends and I came to see the afternoon performance of a Christmas Carol on 14/12/25. This is one of my favourite films so the performance had a lot to live up too! It did not disappoint. Reece Dinsdale as Scrooge was outstanding. The whole cast was excellent as were the props (especially the ghost of Christmas future) All in all a lovely, entertaining afternoon. There was absolutely nothing to disappoint us. Thank you to all concerned in the production and the staff of the playhouse.”

“We stayed one night and it was such a peaceful place — amazing views of the Minster. The staff were kind and helped us find good vegan breakfast spots”

“Such a beautiful and attractive place to relax and spend time. There are nice walking areas, interesting architecture, and even the option for a boat trip with the taxi boats. It was really quiet at this time of the year,not crowded at all,I bet during summer there are a lot of people. I bet during summer there's a good variety of restaurants and bars, so everyone can find something to suit their taste and budget,but now the options were quite limited. The dock offers options for spending time outdoors, and exploring the Royal Armouries museum, which is huge and definitely worth a visit. Unfortunately we couldn't visit because it was closed (Monday only). I saw that there are limited options for shopping,comparing with the city centre. Overall,we really liked it and definitely will come back during summer.”

“Could not wish for better hosts than Roy and Joanna !! I love our interesting chats and laughs!! And I very much appreciated the soft fruit for breakfast kindly thought of due to a recent throat operation Perfect set up as you have totally your own space plus electric security gates which for me is a real safety plus…..see you again soon when up to vist my family…..”

“The garlic hits you first when you walk in and the food which follows is truly delicious, wish more places offered French Onion Soup followed with a Croque Monsieur accompanied by great service and wonderful atmosphere. What’s not to like!”

“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”

“The gnocchi, pasta Oliver was great but the calamari was stunning!!! Good service and reasonable prices”

“I booked a table here for my birthday Breakfast. It was recommended by a close friend. I'm not a big eater so opted for the veggie full breakfast. I thought It was slightly more food than I could manage. But by far one of the tastiest veddie breakfasts I've ever had. I'd go again as a treat.”

“Yet another awesome sushi restaurant of which there seems to have been an explosion of in recent years which is fab! Beautifully light and crisp mixed tempura, gorgeous fresh sashimi (the mackerel seemed particularly good) and a delicious rainbow roll (I think it was). We then had a couple of the special desserts - apple gyozas and an ice-cream ball rolled in dessicated coconut, dipped in tempura batter and deep fried. Amazing! Wonderful, friendly and polite service and lovely atmosphere. Another one to recommend!”

“This was a second visit to an Ivy Asia, I went to St Paul’s London and that was a great experience. Ivy Asia Leeds was a really lovely experience also, great for a special meal, I booked it for a 60th Birthday. Service, food and decor is first class. It is definitely worth a visit and fabulous surprise for a family celebration.”

“Family meal for sons 30’s. First time eating at Aromas and massively impressed. Service was fabulous- polite and didn’t feel rushed. , food was absolutely gorgeous and staff were superb. The restaurant is very well designed with emphasis on diners comfort & not how many tables can be squeezed into a space to maximise takings. Also reassuringly obvious is the cleanliness of the restaurant. It’s spotless - absolutely spotless throughout. I can’t praise this restaurant highly enough. In a saturated market it must be difficult to offer something that is better in every way than the competition - but Aromas does it and does it without massively over inflated menu prices or a pretentious attitude that leaves you feeling uncomfortable being there. Book a table …. you will not be disappointed.”

“We stumbled on the excellent value menu on a Wednesday evening. They have a banquet deal which is incredible value for money. Our group of 4 shared the food and every dish was good quality and really tasty. Everything tasted fresh and was spiced to our liking. The service provided by the young man who looked after us was much appreciated as well. Very much recommend The Red Pepper - especially after a couple of pints of Kirkstall Brewery’s 3 Swords in the Black Horse over the road. Thanks for a splendid evening.”

“Went for the first time last night, fantastic food, we really enjoyed it.... Won't be our last time to visit.”

“Great little pub in a lovely village. Excellent food with good range to choose from. Good beers. Superb service. Highly recommend.”

“Had a great meal here other night. I was really busy, so I had to wait a bit, but that's to be expected. It was worth the wait. the food was beautiful. You can take your own beer too, which I like. Cheers”

“When looking for a place to eat we seen this place on Google. We were staying around piccadilly was around 10 min walk from there. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and did everything to make sure you enjoyed the food and your time there, lots of advise and options on food if you weren't sure about anything. Food was amazing and did not have to wait long for it. Great atmosphere lots of laughter from staff and guests. We didnt book but we went at a early time at 4 as it did start getting busy around 5. Will 100% go back here to eat.”

“What a fantastic restaurant! We were a table of 17 and despite the numbers all the food was brought out efficiently and correctly. The food was delicious, and the staff ere lovely. The menu is very clear to understand for people with dietary requirements and allergies too. Will 100% be coming back!”

“Delicious food. Really good for gluten free. Service excellent. I have no idea why they weren't rushed off their feet on a Saturday night. Have the tapas!”

“Absolutely love Spice House The food is always full of flavor and the service is super friendly. Great portions, great prices, and a really nice atmosphere. Easily one of my go to places in the city!”

“I highly recommend The meal here is nice and they have an area dedicated to family. Very well thought through The meal is overly generously portioned - a meal for 2 can conveniently feed 3-4. To minimise food waste you can be firm about not wanting 2nans that is serve with your meat and rice order.”

“Had a lovely meal from the lunch menu. Chose Chicken Skewers to start, Fish and Chips and ended with Sticky Toffee Pudding. All food was very tasty, well presented and enjoyed! Forgot to photograph pudding but it was lush. Service very good and surroundings in restaurant pleasant.”

“It was a really nice atmosphere for the boys of AMC Hemsworth to have time to enjoy the company of each other! Service was amazing... Could not do enough for us... The food was the best I had”

“It's friendly place and great taste of food, over all high quality service.”

“Very tasty indeed. I love the special keema spicy asian korma here (not your usual mild creamy korma, see picture!) The chapaties are the best I've eaten anywhere, freshly cooked and perfect. The seekh kebabs for starters are great too. Very reasonably priced and the staff are helpful and friendly. It's a shame I dont get to visit more often these days. I would definitely recommend”

“Very nice food and friendly atmosphere. Lovely, home made soups and massive portions of delicious mains.”
