If you can go to the outskirts (it actually counts as Bradford), and can handle veggie (bear with me!)…
Prashad’s in Drighlington. I am a total carnivore, but the food there is epic and you don’t miss meat. Service is just right and the prices are very sensible. Last time I went there, 3 courses for 2 with 2 bottles of good wine was under £70.

£70 for an Indian when there’s Kamran’s not 200 yards up the road where you’d get the same meal for less than a tenner!!!
In fairness, everyone I know who’s been has said it is very good. And it’s a favourite of Gordon Ramsey so it must be good.

Gaucho looks good for food, but as with Bibis, which I have been to a few times with work, looks a bit footballers wifes for my taste, might have to head to burlington or box tree!
Wouldn’t touch the Box Tree in a month of Sundays, shocking in very way for the money.
Shame you want Leeds City Centre, what about the romance of Bradford City centre 🙂 can highly recommend the Russian Restaurant for a truly memorable night.
Burlington, as in Devonshire Arms? IMO best Michelin restaurant in the area. Was at the York Arms 2 weeks back, some food was stunning, some very disappointing.
FunkyDunc, what happened at the Box Tree that you didn’t like? I’m not a regular by any means (wife’s birthday/anniversary) but it’s always been wonderful when we’ve been, only place I’ve experienced that was better was Bibendium in London.
Service was poor for the standard of the place. Some food was cold, and they didn’t even apologies, just took it back and cooked further ( would really expect a new replacement). The flavours and textures were nothing special. At that price they dam well should be.
just to confirm York Arms, starter and main course stunning, dessert was straight out of the freezer and as though they don’t have a pastry chef.
We are off to San Carlo tomorrow no idea what it will be like.Brasserie 44 was very nice when i last went. i have always been disapointed by the food at Bibis . Sous le nez is also very decent.
Yeah did the York arms a few months ago, fantastic place. Box tree has been great when ive been. Which is twice in last 18 months. We are in Ilkley and so there are some ok restaurants here. Service is usually patchy and there is no bar scene, hence the desire to head to Leeds
Leeds has lots of very nice restaurants, what sort of food are you after?
Open minded to that
Thanks for the other suggestions too
Kendalls looks good, thanks! could be just what I’m after..
Fazenda gets great reviews, never been myself but lots of friends rate it including folk who work in the trade; nice meat, cooked at the table including unusual cuts like chicken hearts (very tasty apparently). It’s on my wifes list of places I’m going spend money apparently.
Fazenda ain’t posh. it’s OK, but at the end of the day it’s an ‘all you can eat’.
Kendalls by the BBC is very good. Been a couple of times. great atmosphere, great service, not fine dining but fairly posh.
I don’t really like posh restaurants generally.
The Alchemist in the Trinity is decent, but if you really want to push the boat out……there is The Mermaid on the A650 Morley. Excellent portions, buttered white or brown bread, and a pot of tea. Pop over to the Asda for dessert. See what’s on special offer in the ice cream fridge.
Ambiente, tapas place on the calls (used to be river plate) is nice. We loved Viva when we wnt there, food is great and service fantastic. Choaphraya, Sukhothia, or Thai edge for Thai are all good. Thia cottage is great but NOT posh.
None fine dining but i prefer good food and atmosphere to too much pomp.
I’ve heard that it’s not necessarily as good as the original, but there’s a Casa Mia in Millenium Square, and if it’s half as good as the original it will still be pretty good.
Worked on the vent system at Restaurant, Bar & Grill and it was one of the cleanest kitchens I’ve ever worked in. I’ve worked in some proper sh1tholes that “good reputations”
Is red chilli still open? Stumbled in there once while working in Leeds and was very impressed. Superb food, place full of people who looked to know a thing about eastern food as well.
