Modern British restaurant, The Swine That Dines, is set to open its doors in a nearby venue later this year.
Located on North Street, the popular eatery focuses on simply cooking using local seasonal produce with an added , as they call it, 'little bit of sunshine'.
Over the last 12 years in their current premises, the family-run intimate restaurant has become one of the top places to eat in the city.
And now, The Swine That Dines is embarking on an exciting journey as owners Stuart and Jo Myers announce the relocation of their beloved restaurant.

The new venue will allow them to increase their food and drink menu, host private dining events and bring more people on board.
They've launched a Crowdfunder with aims to raise £25,000 to help the restaurant "turn this empty shell into a beautiful space for The Swine to spread its wings even further”.
Announcing the news to Instagram, they said: "Over the last 12 years we’ve really enjoyed working out of our home on North Street. We’ve grown from a cafe to a restaurant, survived a pandemic, served you meals to enjoy at home, hosted many a delightful pop-up event and thrived in a community that has supported us so well and gone from strength to strength.
“But there is still SO MUCH MORE we want to do. And that’s why come autumn we’re hoping to be in a new home not too far away.
"The right premises has come up for us and we want to grab that opportunity with both flour-covered hands! Our business is in a position to take this huge step, but we need a little help getting over the last hurdle."
The funds raised will cover some of the changes needed in the new spot including accessible toilets, extraction and fire suppression systems, minor structural changes and adaptations to the kitchen and furniture.
The BBC has announced a brand-new crime drama set to be filmed in Leeds and Hull.
We all love a BBC drama, and luckily for us one is about to be filmed right here in Leeds.
The new drama will be titled Shy & Lola, starring Harley Squires from The Night Manager and Bel Powley from The Diary of A Teenage Girl.
The six-part series has been described as a "dark comedy" about two women caught up in a murder in the criminal underworld.
The plot follows an unassuming pair in a small coastal town in northern England where the pair both realise they have a hidden talent for crime.
The series synopsis states: "As they build an operation that threatens to blow the local bad guys out of the water, opposing futures beckon – using their earnings to fund a fresh start, or becoming the new bosses in town."
The show is based on a popular French TV series and is written by Amanda Coe, an acclaimed English screenwriter and novelist.
Amanda Coe spoke about the announcement: "With such a rich and spiky central relationship at its core, Shy & Lolais a dream of a show to write, full of fun, action and emotion. I can't wait to see our hugely exciting cast and director bring it to life."
Rachelle Constant, executive Producer for Clerkenwell Films, said: "Amanda has written a brilliantly bold series centred on a dynamic female duo, which blends dark comedy with propulsive storytelling.We’re thrilled to have Hayley and Bel as our leads, alongside an exceptional cast and crew."
The new series will begin filming in Leeds and Hull this spring and will air on BBC One and iPlayer and we'll absolutely be tuning in.
