Two Leeds restaurants have come up trumps in OpenTable’s Top 100 Restaurants for 2025.
Now that’s quite an achievement if you’re asking us.
And it’s not the first time for the brilliant Bavette bistro over in Horsforth, who were also featured on the list last year just months after opening their doors.
Known for its fabulous French cuisine, warm atmosphere and unbeatable service – Bavette is a firm favourite from locals and tourists alike.

Also featured is The Highland Laddie, who after only opening this year have been scooping up the awards including Best Pub in the UK by The Good Food Guide.
Run by the masterminds behind Empire Cafe, this laidback old school pub are serving elevated pub classics as well as bar oysters and brilliant pints of Guinness. Sounds like our kind of place if you’re asking us.
The list is curated not by critics, but by diners, taking feedback from the general public and curating the top 100 from their feedback and reviews.
Each year, OpenTable looks at customer reviews and metrics to determine the top restaurants across the country.

And if there’s anyone’s opinions we truly trust, it’s the punters spending their hard-earned cash.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Bavette said: “We’re in the top 100!
Delighted to say we’re in OpenTable’s top 100 UK restaurants list again this year.
The whole team are incredibly proud of our 4.9/5 rating, based on customer reviews.
“A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to reply to Open Table’s email after their visit this year, we really appreciate them.”
Congratulations both, so very well deserved.
