The menu at the Fourth Floor Brasserie has been elevated to bring in new seasonal ingredients.
The launch of the new menu allows guests to soak up the last of the warm weather and taste classic summertime staples like Greek salads or pan fried halloumi, as we enter the final weeks of the season.
As part of the new menu launch discerning diners can take full advantage of a three course meal, plus a glass of Chandon for just £25 throughout the month of August.
Created by Head Chef Lee Heptinstall, diners can look forward to beef tartare with chimichurri, charred lamb leg and an exclusive Sunday menu with the best of British favourites.
Think Yorkshire classic of roast sirloin of beef with all the trimmings, or pea risotto and grilled mackerel served before a tempting selection of sweet treats like the warm chocolate brownie with white chocolate and raspberry ice cream and traditional cheese board.

There's plenty of plant-based options on the menu too. Expect the likes of gazpacho, Greek salad or linguine with raw ice cream and dairy-free vanilla cheesecake on the specially-designed vegan menu to choose from.
There's also a brand new No3 Gin outdoor terrace where you can find a selection of, you guessed it, No3 gin cocktails and serving suggestions, all with the backdrop of the Leeds skyline in your peripheral.
Speaking about the new summer menu, Sally Lackey, General Manager at Harvey Nichols, Leeds, said: “Lee has pulled together the most incredible menus that encapsulate everything we love about summer time food. They are fresh, vibrant and full of flavour, transporting you to some of your favourite European holiday destinations.
“The Fourth Floor Brasserie has long been a popular venue for people living locally and beyond and we look forward to inviting diners to try this summers culinary masterpiece.
“As well as a full bar of champagne, cocktails, and soft drinks, we also have one of the largest wine selections in the north of England in our Wine Shop. From old world classics to new modern organic wines; we are happy to serve these to diners visiting our Brasserie.”

Big name restaurant closes Leeds city centre site after seven years
A popular restaurant chain has closed permanently in Leeds city centre.
Popular pizzeria Franco Manca has closed its Leeds restaurant.
The chain was famed for its relaxed atmosphere, quick service and affordable sourdough Neapolitan pizzas that were on offer for as little as a fiver.
The chain occupied the site on the outskirts of Trinity Shopping Centre on Trinity Street, next door to Itsu and overlooking the back entrance of Marks and Spencer.
Hoardings have now gone up, signifying the site is now empty and Franco Manca has permanently closed.

This can also be seen on Google when searching for the restaurant branch.
It was announced earlier this year that a number of Franco Manca's restaurants would be closing across the country.
This was down to a reconstructing plan approved by creditors for the chain. The brand said it had been knocked by “disproportionately high” UK taxes and a lack of business rates relief for hospitality.
Marcel Khan, chief executive of parent firm Fulham Shore, said at the time: “We are grateful for the support shown by our creditors today.
“Franco Manca is a fantastic brand with a strong heritage and loyal customer base. With this agreement in place, we will put the business back on a firm footing and press ahead with strengthening our customer offer and performance.”
The Leeds brand was not included in the initial list of restaurant closing, but it seems further closures were made.

Clementine Hall
A sandwich shop in Leeds is expanding to the suburbs.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonsos Deli has made a name for itself for serving some of the best sandwiches around the city.
Such a good reputation in fact, that they’ve just announced a second location over in the leafy suburb of Horsforth. Get in.
Currently, you'll find Alfonso's in the Grand Arcade where their light-filled and airy space is slinging out sandwiches non-stop until sell-out.

It's not just sandwiches, though. They're also serving up fantastic Cuban coffee, beer and even Cuban cigars.
Basically, it's everything you'd expect to find in a deli in Miami.
The team shared the news of the expansion on social media, confirming that a brand-new Horsforth site is on the way.
While an official opening date is yet to be revealed, the announcement has already sparked plenty of excitement among loyal customers, many of whom have been calling for a second location since the deli first opened.
Alfonso's has built a devoted following in Leeds, with its signature Cubano sandwich becoming a firm favourite, while its breakfast bagels draw queues of hungover punters through the doors.
The move to Horsforth marks the next chapter for the independent business, bringing its popular menu to a whole new neighbourhood. And they're in fantastic company too, in a suburb that is flourishing with independent local businesses.
If the success of the Grand Arcade site is anything to go by, the new deli is likely to be just as busy from day one. More details, including an opening date and the full menu, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Good luck to the team, we can't wait to check it out.
