Re: [LU] Non-LU / eating in Leeds question
Thanks for all your suggestions - there are more than one that are noted for the future. In the end I arrived in Leeds quite late and the first restaurant to answer the phone was Bibis so we went there. In spite of good, friendly and attentive service (full marks for that) it was a bit of a disappointment - the food was so so (but we were late..) and the wine was priced for label rather than quality. Above all it suffered because I'd eaten in an Italian restaurant at lunchtime in Reading where I'd eaten an drunk just as well for less that half the price. However (Leeds bit coming up), if we ever sign any comedic Italian players from New Chersey it feels like they would be well at home there :) Damian On Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 9:11 PM, Richard Naef < rich...@triumph-computers.co.uk> wrote: > e, I love this list, me.

Re: [LU] Non-LU / eating in Leeds question
I'm a big fan of TMBTC, but have to declare an interest - we helped develop the
brand and designed the website and menus.
One thing to remember though, Michael O'Hare is a Boro fan and business
partners with Giggs and Gary Neville. Might leave a sour aftertaste…
Another decent place for meat and wine is Stockdales, opposite Ambiente on East
Parade. Yorkshire sourced food, meat aged in their own facility in the cellar
and a decent wine list.

Re: [LU] Non-LU / eating in Leeds question
Hi Alex
I've been to the man behind the curtain...it is as much "an experience"
as it is a meal. Its not cheap (-L-120 or so per person) for the option
we took...but you got 10 courses with 7 different drinks for that (the
courses are not large amounts, this isn't a medieval feast)...stuff you
would never think to eat or drink in combinations you never
consider...the staff talk you through it all...but all in all fabulous.
While it is booked up for a year or so in advance you can get lucky
with cancellations; we rang on the Tuesday and ate on the Friday.
Probably a stretch on a student's budget, but worth asking for as a
birthday present from your dad...

Re: [LU] Non-LU / eating in Leeds question
Ahem. Well we went to La Feria in Harrogate and it was most pleasant - Spanish
place with either chicken or tapas - lovely Alhambra on draft, and what looked
like a reasonable wine list. Cote, a French place is also being mentioned in
despatches. My other fave in Harrogate is Deano's Graze & Grill (no that
Deano!) - wide range of international foods and ordering options - would take
too long to list, look at the website.
So Alex, come to Harrogate or Knaresborough, and see North Yorkshire!

Re: [LU] Non-LU / eating in Leeds question
Hi Alex, Leeds has its first michelin starred restaurant for many years with the man behind the curtain however I've never been and no idea what the wine is like ( chef also looks like a freak) For great French wine accompanied with good food Kendell's bistro by the playhouse is the best in Leeds. It's a great little restaurant and they have a really good selection of red and white wines and very decently priced. (http://www.kendellsbistro.co.uk/wine_7_1787011667.pdf). I would recommend this place. In terms of restaurants, if you like Rioja ( I'm not that keen) http://www.ambiente-tapas.co.uk does great tapas dishes and lots of good Spanish wine - it's a different selection to your usual bog standard Rioja. They specialise in Sherry - obviously not my thing but the wife says the sherry flights are good. Gaucho does great steaks accompanied by heavy reds (Argentinian Malbecs etc). They also do lots of different champagnes. Fazenda is a Brazilian meat feast restaurant with another good South American wine list. Lots of good wines but not my taste. Bibis is not my place but every time I've been the food is excellent and they always have a good wine selection. Hopefully this gives you a few choices. Leeds is changing so fast these days I can't keep up. I used to pride myself on having been to every pub and bar in Leeds . I can't even name half of them these days so I'm sure there's a few offering decent wine these days. The beer has certainly improved. After Tetleys died ( although had a great pint of hand pulled in Scabby Taps last night) the beer went down hill, but now with all the independent breweries taking over there's so many great pubs serving top quality ales But you didn't ask for that did you!

I've settled into the Hyde park area and I'm loving it here! Thank you for the help.
