Again, a review for dealing with our large party of 12!…read more They sat us down and cheerfully gave us the menus and specials quickly, it was so hot but they quickly put the fans on and gave us a lot of bottles of water for the table, bringing out warm bread and pots of standard and garlic butter. I had the Yorkshire pudding for starter, and the lamb for main, everything came out at good times, and no one was left waiting much longer than the first to be served at any point. The sides were wonderful, all good size portions and amazing gravy. If I was being seriously picky, the only thing I would say was the meringue on the lemon meringue pie wasn't crispy on the top at all, but that's personal taste, and it still tasted amazing! Wonderful food, wonderful service, and the best part was, other smaller tables there had service just as fast and friendly and didn't suffer because of the large party, so they definitely know how to cope!!

Nice relaxed atmosphere and the staff were pleasant. My sausage started was good and well seasoned, portion size was very generous. My steak was cooked well however it was lacking seasoning and tasted a little bland, I did enjoy the mushrooms they serve it with and also the home style chips were nice. My partners pate was good, the chutney was a little sweet as an accompaniment but again the portion size was good. Her duck was cooked very well and had some good flavour to it. A little biased but some more Australian/ New Zealand wine on the menu would be great. I would definitely like to return and explore the menu some more!

I'm so glad I asked to sit outside as the bathroom is right next to some table inside. I have an ick where I cannot eat comfortably knowing the toilet is right there. It started to rain a little and the staff was so kind to check on us to see if we want to have the umbrella opened. We didn't want to trouble them so we said no a few times hoping the rain will stop soon but it didnt stop. The staff was so nice to offer again to get us some shelter and we finally took it. They even change our utensils because it was rained on. The food is even better than their service. My god that was the best brunch I've had for a long time. It was both soooooo flavorful we were in awe.

I ordered the fish and chips (since we were in the UK), and it was just average at best. My wife had the Sunday roast and the tempura prawns, both of which were unimpressive -- the prawns especially, with a heavy batter. Every once in a while, you get steered wrong, and sadly, this was that one time during our 25-day adventure. Even more disappointing, it ended up being our highest bill of the trip.

If you're familiar with popular astronomy concepts, you might appreciate the following statement:…read moreKendells Bistro exists almost wholly within the Goldilocks Zone of the restaurant universe, a phenomenon that's expected to be possible, but only encountered an infinitesimally small fraction of the time. The restaurant's interior is cosy and charming, dark and candlelit. It borders on being romantic, but doesn't take itself so seriously that it'll dissuade diners who aren't coming in as a couple. Its location is central, but not -in- the city centre. A mere handful of minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Briggate and Leeds' shopping meccas, one can readily walk to this bistro, but it's offset enough to deter the masses. And during the early evening hours (I believe from opening time until 2000 the night we visited), you can take advantage of their 2-course, 3-course, or 3-course and a half bottle of wine offers for between £17-25; it's a bargain, no matter how you slice it. The only thing that's absolutely excessive is the portion size for each of the dishes. My salad with rich, hearty bacon chunks and a perfectly poached egg on top was enough to sate my hunger. Then, when the cassoulet main arrived, I got -maybe- halfway through it before deciding I was completely stuffed. The cassoulet (featuring duck leg, sausage, -and- pork loin) was hearty and richly flavoured. By itself, it was a monstrous serving. That's ignoring the delightfully piped and plated potato mash, carrot mash, and mounded broccoli. From start to finish, I couldn't think of a single thing to improve about the experience. Kendells was readily the most noteworthy dining experience I've had in Leeds yet, and ranks highly amongst any gastronomic adventure I've embarked upon throughout Europe, generally!

The menu is priced at £21.95 - if you include half a bottle of wine into the menu (which of course, you will!) and you can pick from starters like, Gratin Lyonnaise, Saumon Marine A' la Aneth and Pate Maison. The mains consist of; Porc Boulangere, Confit Du Canard, Saumon en Croute and the likes. One of the best parts is of course dessert...pick from Petit Pot au Chocolate, Tarte aux Citron, Creme Brulee and Fromage. Nobody does Creme Brulee like the French so I'd recommend this! This is a great place to go before going to the theatre to see a show or even just to kick back and relax after a hard week.

I am not sure about the ghost as he or she did not make it's presence while I was there. I will say that I had one of the best burgers ever there; it was a 6oz patty topped with a local mushroom, bacon, and Wensleydale cheese; served with fries and a slaw like salad. Service here was also great. I was greeted by the manager that took me upstairs to the bistro for lunch and the server took great care of me. Also downstairs is a Pub featuring some great local beers.

So move on to the Arch. It boasts an award winning chef so I'm always going to get a tad excited about weighing up their credentials. Maybe it's because I'm British and we like to knock down those who fly high but I must admit I couldn't really find any grumbles on this one. The starters are fine dining at its best without being overly pretentious. For the main I had a very nice risotto but you've got all the main players such as steak and fish. My only gripe is and this isn't exclusive to here, why call gravy jus? Come on people don't complicate the matter, it's gravy. Right rant over. As for deserts, the cheese board is excellent. You'll also get some local cheeses on the plate as well as French offerings. Three courses for just under £17 seems a fair price to me as well although you will pay supplements on that for some of the dishes. Good food and a hoorah from me.

Come here for your breccie before you even think of stepping foot in town! From cakes, epic salads, omlettes, breccie, pies and sandwiches.. this is a gem. I ALWAYS go for the eggs bendedict royale here... Lots of salmon perched on English muffins, smothered in lots of hollandaise sauce and yummy runny yolk goodness from two poached eggs for just over a fiver...bargain.. The milkshakes are delish and the service was so much better here this time. Even had the amazing chef being us our food.. the quality and the cheapness is hard to believe especially when you pay at least a tenner in Manchester for one egg on some dried toast. Only criticism is the table layout. They could fit in so much more people in if they changed things around..other than that a quaint good value cafe..oh and feel free to ask for breakfast after 11 as the chef might say yes :-)
