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.”

Iconic Leeds venue The Reliance to be brought back to life under new name ‘The Smithfield’
The Reliance, a much missed North Street site, is being brought back to life as The Smithfield.
The Smithfield is set to be a new social eatery and pub focused on seasonal, produce-led dining.
Set to open its doors to the people of Leeds in early April, The Smithfield will pay homage to the local area through both its produce and people.
The venue will focus on proper plates of seasonal ingredients, pairing a relaxed dining style with a strong sense of community. Sounds pretty brilliant if you ask us.
Building on the legacy of North Street, The Smithfield is a collaborative project between Yorkshire brewery Crooked Brewing and chef James Donovan.

Steve Dawson, co-founder of Crooked Brewing, has long admired The Reliance and want to build on its established legacy.
“What The Reliance was doing was cutting edge for its time,” says Donovan. “We want to bring that same vision and energy into Leeds in 2026. Our aim is to pick up the culinary torch that The Reliance left behind and continue its legacy of great food in Leeds,” adds Dawson.
The Smithfield takes its name from Church Street’s historic connection to the Smithfield cattle market of the early 1800s, once located on what is now Lovell Park.
“We really want the people around us to feel that The Smithfield is their space,” says Dawson. “We want to give them a place at our table.”
We'll keep you updated with an opening date as and when we know, but we're very excited indeed.

Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.

Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.
