Standing impressively over central Leeds is the landmark Queens Hotel and restaurant. It’s 1930s art deco facade faces Leeds train station and looks out over the City Square, so it’s in the ideal location due to its close proximity to shops, bars, nightlife and events that take place in Leeds’ busy city centre.

The sleek Queens restaurant Grill space is decorated tastefully in dark tones, with impressive black tables and plush chairs for you to sink into. The restaurant is lit softly by beautiful, modern chandeliers and the walls are lined with delicate white fabric, creating an atmosphere of opulence and sophistication, while the bar area is similarly beautifully planned with a contemporary, bright and luxurious feel. This is certainly the place to go if you want to have amazing food in impressive surroundings, even if you don’t have anything to celebrate eating here will be an event all of its own.

Whether you head here for breakfast, afternoon tea, lunch or dinner, the experienced head chef - who previously served at Buckingham Palace - will ensure that the ritual of dining at Queens Hotel exceeds your expectations by using fresh, locally sourced ingredients in his innovative recipes. Start your meal off with the Grill menu’s confit duck leg in plum sauce with a gorgeous avocado salad. Then, move onto the finest aged rib-eye or sirloin steaks for your main, cooked to perfection. For vegetarian diners, the grill experience is similarly fantastic, with a unique grilled polenta topped with courgette, pepper and tomato Skewers along with Romesco sauce. We would also recommend the miso-glazed salmon fillet with light vermicelli noodles, along with the bar menu’s offerings such as tapas and hot sandwiches like the bestselling Queen’s Club with chicken, bacon, fried egg and mayonnaise. 

This venue is perfect for a night of understated sophistication, whether you want to head out for drinks after or just want to soak up the ambience when having afternoon tea. For a one of a kind experience, head straight to the Queens Hotel restaurant in Leeds.
