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.”

Neighbourhood Leeds bistro hailed as ‘a bit horny’ and ‘brilliant’ by national critic Camilla Long
Food critic Camilla Long visited Leeds for her latest review for The Times with her sights set on Horsforth's finest - Bavette Bistro.
Ever since opening back in 2024, Bavette Bistro nestled in the leafy suburb of Horsforth has made waves across the country for its sheer brilliance.
It's pretty much received five star reviews across the board and been handed awards from left, right and centre. And rightly so.
The Good Food Guide crowned Bavette the best local restaurant of 2024, and Michelin handed them a well deserved Bib Gourmand - so it's safe to say it's not just us who think it's really something special.
So it was only a matter of time until The Times popped in for a review, and this one is truly glowing.

The review labels Bavette as "warm, unmannered and unpretentious" as well as "authentically French".
Long describes the food as "gorgeous, confident, surprising" with a menu that "isn’t too long" and "filled with sturdy, noble dishes, whiffing mightily of the sea and the soil."
It continues: "All of it made with generosity and cheer, served fast by nimble waiters, with a long, if slightly eccentric, wine list. To bang out French dishes with this much fiddly detail and to do it to a full room is not easy. Yet all four courses came in under two hours, for about £75 a head, which in London terms is nothing.
"It’s not that this place was perfect, it’s that it was decidedly not perfect. A bit too much chat about the menus; the oeufs in the meurette not quite runny enough. But the point is: it didn’t matter. All of it came charmingly together. It felt relaxed, just right."
The review is then wrapped up with a pleasing five stars, the cherry on top of the cake.
It's a review only restaurants can dream of, and we can't think of a more deserving team - congratulations Bavette.
Team behind Headrow House and Belgrave to take over and reopen Woodside just one year after opening
Clementine Hall
The foodie-favourite restaurant and bar is now under new management.
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that Woodside has sadly been closed for a few months.
We certainly have, and ever since December we've had a Woodside Sunday roast-shaped hole in our hearts that's been gasping for one of their glorious Marmite glazed parsnips.
But luckily, it has now been confirmed that Woodside isn't going anywhere as Superfriendz, the team behind Headrow House, Belgrave and many other top Leeds spots will be taking over. Hallelujah.

Woodside opened at the end of 2024 from the owners of The Brunswick and The Melbourne.
Labelling itself as a 'neighbourhood eatery and bar', Woodside quickly became a favourite amongst Leeds foodies and was known for its smoked meats, great cocktails and stellar Sunday roasts (do I need to talk about the parsnips again).
The menu was fresh and innovative, with oysters topped with kiwi granita and an incredibly garish banana split standing out as highlights.

We hope that the new management continues to maintain Woodside's brilliance, but mainly we're just so glad that it's sticking around.
Superfriendz take care of a whole host of spots in the city, including proper Leeds favourites Headrow House, Belgrave Music Hall and Waterlane Boathouse.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Woodside said: "After a longer-than-expected winter break, Woodside is back and will reopen on Thursday 19th March!
"Your favourite neighbourhood bar and eatery returns with the same warm welcome, but an all new management team.
"We can’t wait to see you so keep your eyes on our socials for news on great food and drinks, big screen sports, quizzes and more.
"We’d also like to thank Sam and the original team for all the hard work that went into setting-up the venue. We hope we can do it justice."
