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.”

‘This recognition belongs to you’ – Leeds restaurant added to the Michelin Guide just months after opening
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
