Although, like most cities, Leeds is overrun with chain restaurants there are plenty of independent restaurants to suit the more discerning diner; those who are looking for great food at good value with friendly accommodating service. Feeling special, and knowing that you matter as a customer, is part of the experience of dining out. Called hospitality for a reason, it is at the very core of every good establishment. Offering quality food and friendly service, these independent restaurants are the heartbeat of the Leeds dining scene.
A wide variety of cuisines and dining experiences await you in the city centre itself. The Food Academy at Flannels deserves a mention for its ground breaking set up. Staffed with gifted young chefs and dedicated front of house staff, that have all recently completed their college training, there can be no better way to support the growing restaurant scene. Working your way up the restaurant ladder can be an arduous task and often rests on one lucky break. This restaurant provides a showcase of talent that could be the future stars of British cuisine. Alternatively, Brasserie Forty-4 is one of the many restaurants by the Riverside that are housed within beautifully restored warehouses, and offer fine food with excellent service in relaxed surroundings. If you are looking for something a little more bright and contemporary then you could try the Fourth Floor Café at Harvey Nichols for upbeat modern dining. Whatever your preferences, you can be sure that there is a restaurant in Leeds city centre that will fit the bill.
Further out in the suburbs of Leeds the culinary adventure continues.
