Sample some of the latest eateries and bars opening their doors across Leeds.
Rudy’s Pizza
After making its mark in Leeds city centre, Neopolitan pizza chain, Rudy’s, has branched out into Chapel Allerton serving its familiar favourites including Marinara, Margherita, and Calabrese. Made fresh each day using the finest Caputo “00” flour, the pizza dough is left overnight to ferment to achieve a perfectly crisp base. Authentic ingredients are also used behind the pizza toppings, including imported San Marzano tomatoes and creamy Fior di Latte mozzarella.

Cut & Craft
Brushed velvet chairs, golden chandeliers, and marbled flooring make up the luxurious 1920s décor inside the much-anticipated Cut & Craft fine dining restaurant, all set within the city centre’s Victoria Quarter. A strong reputation for delivering top quality food in the brand’s original York restaurant means visitors can have high expectations while choosing between the harissa chicken salad, pan roasted sea bass, or signature 10 oz flat iron steak, followed by a refreshing liqueur coffee.
