Leeds is kicking off summer with a bang with these new premier league food and drink offerings!
Brew+Bao | Chapel Allerton | Open now
Brew+Bao is a new concept venue that’s a collaboration between Brew York and YUZU Street Food. Popular for its Asian fusion dishes, YUZU has been serving Brew York customers across its
York venues since 2019. Now the duo is working together and bringing unique flavours and high energy atmosphere to the people of Leeds in what is the first venture under the brewery’s new ‘Brew+’ brand. Customers can expect a menu carefully curated by the team behind YUZU that is perfectly paired with a range of innovative craft beers. The food menu includes an extensive bao bun offering, loaded fries, and sides options – the majority of which are exclusively available in the new location.
Azotea | City Centre | Open now
Leeds’ newest Latin American bar and restaurant has found its home at the newly opened Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotel. Perched high above the city, this radiant 12th floor spot blends traditional Latin culture with modern-day charm, offering stunning views and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is packed with flavour – from Mexican staples like tacos and tostadas to bold Peruvian anticuchos – transporting your taste buds straight to the countries of Latin America, no passport required.
Gallio | Alwoodley | Open now
Local favourite The Olive Branch has undergone an exciting transformation and is now known as Gallio. Still family-run since 2008, the newly rebranded spot continues to serve up the vibrant Mediterranean flavours that made the original so well-loved.
Whether you’re dropping in for a light lunch of mini hot or cold meze or indulging in the bold, traditional tastes of a Turkish salad or ispanakli – a hearty mix of spinach, onion, red pepper, feta, and egg – there’s something on the menu for everyone to sink their teeth into.
Rinse | City Centre | Open now
The team behind Bottle Chop in Headingley have brought their passion for great wine and good vibes to the city centre, opening a second venue in the heart of the centre on Call Lane.
The new outpost captures everything customers love about the original, while adding its own city flair. Step inside for an ever-changing selection of natural wines by the glass, shelves stacked with handpicked bottles ready to take home, and a tempting array of deli delights – olives, cheeses, and pâtés galore – that will pair perfectly with your tipple of choice. Add to that the mouthwatering charcuterie boards and flavour-packed sandwiches, and you’ve got a spot that’s hard to resist.
The Highland Laddie | Burley | Open now
The historic former Tetley’s pub, The Highland, has been given a new lease of life by the founders of Empire Café, now reopened as The Highland Laddie. Blending laid-back charm with a touch of sophistication, the reimagined gastropub nods to its 1900s roots through carefully preserved décor, creating a truly cosy atmosphere. The menu is a celebration of both tradition and creativity – from comforting bar snacks like sausage rolls, chips, and devilled eggs to more unexpected delights like fresh oysters and a keema shepherd’s pie.
