Been invited out for a meal in Leeds a week on Monday at "The Cut and Craft" on King Edward St ...

Have any of our Leeds based Clarets had any experience of this establishment

Hijack the thread.
Any suggestions for eating out Leeds City centre on Sunday.

Equivalent to Wilfreds/Fence Gate not Sycamore Farm before DA starts. Sure DA will have some good recommendations

A friend of mine goes there a lot.

Raves about it.

He doesn't have the best pallette in the world so I can imagine it's quite well done if not brilliant and "the place to be seen" cos he's a bit like that

Whitelocks Ale House (if you can find it up Turks Head Alley just off Briggate) do a great Sunday Lunch ... went last year for my Grandsons 21st (same one who's taking us out a week on Monday ) but like most places probably need to book

Man behind the curtain
Sous Le Nez
The Ivy
Tharadavu

Rudys.

Never had a pizza as good.

Nice kebabs opposite the Scarborough taps near train station

Zaap does some excellent Thai street food in a quirky setting. Prices are reasonable as well.

I'll take a look at these. We ate at The rabbit in the moon when O'Hare had it in Manchester

Me and my girlfriend like it here, Probably the best steakhouse in town. 24 Carat steak if your feeling pretentious

Whats his name

Leeds = dirty dirty kitchens

Fish and chips in Whitelocks, scrummy.
A veritable Leeds institution.

Absolutely. I posted about it on a thread a few months ago.

For the money and the quality - the place is really amazing.

My favourite restaurant is Sarto (pasta). Go regularly. Opposite BBC Leeds and next to the Wardrobe

Another one for Sarto.

They opened in Manchester a few years back. Been going ever since. Whenever I have pizza from somewhere else I'm reminded just how good Rudy's is.

The original Bundobust.
Fuji Hiro
Manjits Kitchen
Tharavadu

Thanks for suggestions.
Tried to book Sous Le Nez but was surprised they do not open on Sundays when I rang

Decided on Zaap, where my son enjoyed the tuk tuk we ate in as we've spent a bit of time in various countries in SE Asia. Missed the mega fresh, spicy taste of their dishes in my opinion but was not a bad meal.

Will get through the other recommendations next time we are over

Rudys is very good but I remember a Leeds pizza takeaway called Harpos….now they probably made the best pizzas ever.

You need to book to go in Whitelocks?

I think I now understand what 'gentrification' means.

If you're eating ... it was heaving when we were there last year

I used to work in Leeds - must be 20 years ago and that place was fab - great to hear it’s still going strong.

My fave was a pheasant dish - amazing food!

Lucky’s Death by Pepperoni was outstanding 30 years ago

Very nice meal but "wow" prices phew glad we weren't paying
Had the flat iron steak ... bloody good value compared to the others

Just had a few days in York ,went to The Botanist ,they’res one in Leeds ,really enjoyed it.

Bosscat. What about the important course, the pudding, did you have one.

Naturalement 2 scoops ice cream

It was an expensive looking menu (imo) but what you had looked very good value. I can’t remember the last time we ate out so I’m completely out of touch with prices. I imagine a round of drinks has you digging deep into your pocket. Anyway it sounds as though you all had an enjoyable afternoon/ evening.

Like I said I wasn't paying ... but a pint of Kirkstall IPA was £6 a pint ...
