Popular Leeds restaurant House of Fu have opened up their new and groovy outdoor terrace just in time for Summer.
If you haven't been to House of Fu yet then first of all, where have you been? And second of all, you need to go now.
Since opening their pastel pink doors in July 2021, they have become a firm foodie favourite amongst Leeds locals and it is no surprise why.

Serving up authentic Japanese cuisine in the form of comforting ramen, vibrant rice bowls and handmade gyoza, the food is bursting with flavour and is unlike any other you will find around the city.
What sets them even further apart from the rest is their beautifully bespoke tableware which is handcrafted just a ten minute walk away from the restaurant by local ceramic studio, Sunken Studios.

Oh and if that's not enough, they have an ultra-cool karaoke bar on the first floor followed by an exclusive cocktail lounge on the second floor. We can only assume that if there was another floor, that staircase would take you straight to heaven.
Well the guardian angels at Fu are back again with another incredible offering, a secret outdoor terrace serving up frozen cocktails and groovy vibes just in time for summer.

From Friday - Sunday, take a pew at one of their wonderfully multicoloured tables and sip on one of their frozen cocktails to cool you off in the tropical sun. Choose from a Yuzu Margarita or a Pina Colada slushie, or opt for one of their other delicious cocktails such as a Whiskey Highball or a Gin Yuzu Spritz.

Basque in the sunshine and groove to one of their resident DJs who will transport you into the night as the hanging fairy lights illuminate the space.
