    First visit, parked right outside! Warm welcome and great service. Menu explained and lots of products used were locally sourced which we loved. Every course/dish was delicious and we both thought the sharing lamb steak was the best lamb we’ve had! Don’t normally go for a pudding but with the quality of other dishes, we did and it didn’t disappoint. Brown butter sundae, next level! Topped off with a treat of local rhubarb cello! Winning meal, can’t wait to go back.

    A real hidden gem. A French-style restaurant we visited for the first time on recent visit to Leeds. The welcome by Alicia was warm. She guided us to our table leaving menu and wine list, pointing out the large wall mounted specials boards. Table water arrived and Kady introduced herself. Kady is the drinks/wine expert. The food choice was interesting and Anne chose two starters rather than starter and main. Coquilles Saint-Jacques and moules marinieres. I chose French black pudding and a ham hock as main. A bottle of wine and we were set. Excellent presentation and excellent food quality. What a wonderful meal. The excellent service continued Anne had icecream as desert. A very enjoyable evening.
