Looking to get all cosy this winter? Well you’re in luck, as two Leeds restaurants have been named two of the very best to do so.
Picture the scene…it’s biting cold outside, the wind is blowing a gale, but you still fancy venturing outside for a delicious meal.
Well luckily for us, The Good Food Guide has pulled together a list of ‘winter warmers’ – a list of the best cosy restaurants to visit on cold, dark nights.
And the best part? Two restaurants right here in Leeds have made the list, get in.
First up is Hern in Chapel Allerton, gaining a warmth rating of ‘good’ and an overall rating of ‘very good’.
The Good Food Guide said: “Tucked away among a row of suburban shops, Hern is easy to miss and there’s nothing outside to suggest it is even a restaurant.
“No menu, no opening times, and even the signage is minimal – as discreet and modest as chef/patron Rab Adams himself. Yet this tiny spot is full most nights with diners lapping up good food at keen prices.”
Another restaurant to make the list was Leeds’ very own The Empire Cafe on Fish Street.
With an equally ‘very good’ overall rating, the guide said: “You can eat here or in the windowless basement dining room, which may sound bleak but isn’t: lamps on each table and Egon Schiele prints on the dark walls give it a cosy, welcoming vibe.”
Sounds pretty perfect if you ask us.
The guide continued: “Service is full of enthusiasm, and staff are great at talking everyone through the menu. ‘A breath of fresh air for Leeds.”
So next time you’re thinking of braving the cold, why not give these two fantastic spots a try to make it all worth it.
