I was driving home from a meeting last week with a roaringly hungry tummy, and I was trying to get inspired about what I might make for lunch. However, I then remembered the contents of the fridge: apples, carrots, yoghurt and for some reason, an abundance of butter – it wasn’t going to be a good lunch. […]
Bangwok serves thai street food every lunchtime from Monday to Friday, on Sovereign Place right in the centre of Leeds. Their menu is brilliantly simple having just a few choices on the menu and each dish is made to order right in front of you (which is entertaining in itself). These chefs are good. Order after order […]
I love a good curry, but the thought of having one at lunch time, on the go, isn’t really feasible, is it? It’s generally quite a time consuming affair, with all those bits and bobs to bring together, and then there’s the food coma that comes after it. Well, that’s how it’s been until the arrival of Rola Wala. […]
La Bistro opened in Horsforth a couple of weeks ago, and we were rather excited as it’s just up the road from us. It looks great. There are twinkly lights on the trees outside, which is a good start (“CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!”, exclaimed Emilia). The interior is modern, clean, and there’s plenty of wood and brickwork […]
This is a rather late review due to Christmas festivities getting in the way! So APOLOGIES. But, here goes… Cabana launched in Trinity Leeds at the end of November. This successful London based business chose Leeds as it’s second city to make home, and I, for one, am rather happy that it did. It’s Brasilian food, with a Brasilian outlook of ‘tudo bem’, […]
LAB is found directly opposite First Direct Arena. The area surrounding it is fast becoming a popular spot. Gone are the times of furtively scurrying through the bit above the Merrion Centre, holding on tight to your bag with your phone in hand, ready to dial. It’s certainly busier, and there are more and more places opening […]
The Local Pantry is a shop and cafe in Leathley, near Pool, Otley. It celebrates local food in all ways, and has a well stocked shop with fresh cakes, meats, breads, cheeses, ales, fruit and veg… anything you can think of really. It even stocks my most favourite pizzas of all – by Box Pizza. […]
My second night out since having Tot 2 was spent at Gusto, with some great friends of mine. I was feeling a little on edge, to be honest. I’m not used to the bright lights of freedom, or the art of conversation without jiggling an infant whilst also making a cup of tea. My sleep deprived […]
I’d heard many things about Bird and Beast in Leeds. Many good things. A restaurant focussing on just one thing; chicken, one of the humblest meats, so often ignored within restaurants. However, I’d also heard that it’s a restaurant that could be thought of as the new, independent, Nando’s. Do we really need (or want) a new Nando’s?! […]
Whenever anyone mentions Red’s True BBQ in Leeds city centre, there’s an element of awe in their tone. Their eyes widen, their voices hush, or they go to the other extreme, becoming high pitched and almost hysterical; THE RIBS!! So, although the language on Red’s website is tongue in cheek, it seems that they may have inadvertently created […]
