Elizabeth Cottam is returning to The Owl and steering it in a new direction.
First established in Leeds Kirkgate Market back in 2019, The Owl was Elizabeth’s second restaurant venture in the city, following the launch of fine dining venue Home in 2017.
The Owl relocated to its current home in Mustard Wharf in 2022, where it boasts stunning relaxed atmosphere with beautiful waterside views.
Following the unfortunate closure of Home last, Elizabeth is now turning her attention back to The Owl bringing it to its former glory days.
The Owl has launched several new menus including a new ‘Guinea Pig’ night, alongside a new main menu to give customers a taste of something different.
Guests will now be able to choose from a two, three or seven course option, accompanied by an extensive wine and cocktail list.
Elizabeth said: “When Home closed, many people asked me what was next. The one thing I knew was that whatever I did next, it would be centered around pared-back, soulful cooking, the kind of food that makes me really happy.
“This year we’re placing ingredients and accessible dining at the heart of everything we’re doing at The Owl, but that doesn’t mean that our creativity is taking a back seat. The restaurant landscape has definitely evolved, but it hasn’t completely changed either. Our menus reflect this evolution, offering a way to enjoy great cooking, quality ingredients, and vibrant flavours every day – not just for special occasions.
“Our Guinea Pig nights are a great way to test new dishes, but it’s also about connecting with our wonderful regular guests and having a lot of fun. These nights are all about surprises but it’s very much a creative process in progress. We love experimenting with new dishes and making sure that our menus stay fresh and exciting.”
The Owl is open from Wednesday – Sunday, The Guinea Pig night is priced at £39 per
person with a wine pairing option for an additional £39.
