Reviews in Leeds City Centre

Over-rated and over-priced. Whilst the staff are very authentic and polite they lack the more informal social graces. One of those places people seem to want to be seen in, but not sure why. As I had heard good things I chose 1 of the most expensive starters, filet steak in chilli. It was awful, stringy and tough and almost a tenner. Nowhere near as enjoyable at Chaophraya

Easily the best kept secret in Leeds, so much so that I am a little loathe to sing its praises here! Amazing atmosphere, seems really authentic and so many unusual touches (bridge/seating which gives the impression you are sat on the floor etc). The food is outstanding and so fresh you can taste the outdoors! Try the ginger cheesecake it is outstanding. Great value too.

Recommended for atmosphere, beautiful art deco surroundings and the clam chowder. No recommended for food in general, especially mediocre pizzas. Way over-priced for what it is and service friendly but slow. Also beware of over-charging on drinks.

THE BEST INDIAN FOOD I HAVE HAD SINCE COMING HERE TO LEEDS... THE FOOD HAS A SPECIAL BLEND OF SPICE AND SUBTLETY TO MAKE THE FOOD DELICIOUS...TRY THE BHUNA DISHES AND U WILL KNOW WHT I AM SAYING....GR8 PLACE FOR STUDENTS AND RELATIVELY CHEAPER THAN THE OTHER RESTAURANTS

i think this has to be probably the best Indian cuisine in the whole of the Leeds area, other places I've tried have awful service and their food is like card board, i strongly recommend this place for service and quality... don't look at the price because its worth it!

Just held my wife's birthday meal on Saturday night. We had the whole venue to ourselves (20 covers) and paid £25.00 each for a 5 course meal, which was wonderful and the portions great. The whole place had a great buzz and the lads looked after us very well. A few member's of the public wandered in but were told it was a private party so it was just for us and it was great. This place is one of the best in Leeds and I hope it does well for the lads who have a vested interest in it. Food is second to none.

Wanted to try this place for a long time and finally got round to it for lunch today. It certainly lived up to the excellent reputation it's garnered. Standouts were the black pudding starter, the calves liver and the lamb - all cooked to perfection. The authentic French staff added extra entertainment value too. A real gem in the heart of Leeds.

Stopped in to try the Times "3 courses for £10" menu. Service was a little slow (felt sorry for the waiter, who was clearly run off his feet) but the food was delicious, especially the sausage and mash in sage gravy.

Fantastic venue and the food is amazing!!! I like to try the restaurants I find on this website and too be honest I never really considered eating in a hotel…so glad I did!! excellent quality and reasonably priced! I will be back, thanks for a lovely evening!

Average food, tiny portions compared to the likes of Viva Cuba Disappointed and won't be back

we came to your restaurant on Sunday 29th march and it was excellent the food,service, everything was brilliant. would recommend you to everyone, will be back for more.

WOW. Everything about Chaophraya is spot on, from the atmosphere, decor, staff... and the food is simply fantastic, as is the service, price, menu, efficiency..... Simply a fantastic dining experience and well worth a visit, get yourself booked in!!!

La Besi definitely serves up some of the best italian food in Leeds... especially seen as they can deliver it straight to your door too! Always friendly and they will make anything to order! Their my favourite by far... i would (and i have) recommend them to anyone!!!!!!

Went as a party of 6 from work. We ordered 5 main dishes (Karahi Ghost x 2, Chicken Chilli Balti, Masala Fish, Chicken Ockra) and five starters (Liver Tikka x 3 and Seikh Kebabs x 2). As some of the party were asian, we asked for the dishes in the 'Apna' style which really spiced proceedings up. Cannot recommend highly enough. Woof woof.

best takeway food ever. never been let down in the last 17 years. always prompt delivery and very friendly.

I ate at the brasserie with family for a Birthday treat at lunch time on 14 March 2009 and we weren't at all impressed. The service was dreadful. Several times I had to leave the table to find staff to ask for things (more drinks/bill etc.) yet the restaurant was very quiet and there were plenty of staff. The starters and main courses were ok but nothing special but we ended up sending the desserts back. one of our party had the fruit crumble which was basically a dish of runny fruit sauce with a very few large lumps of some hard substance on the top masquerading as crumble! To add to the effect it had poured over the sides of the dish and looked very unattractive. My dessert was chocolate pudding which was basically a very dry piece of chocolate cake with some chocolate sauce on the top. To be fair, they knocked them off the bill but as we didnt actually eat them it was a token gesture. I actually had to go to the bar to ask for our bill and the girl who I asked gave me a very irritated expression! When the bill was brought to us the girl who brought it literally slapped it on the table as she walked past! We were left feeling that our comments on the desserts hadn't been well received! One of our party was very shocked by the overt rudeness but as it was a birthday none of us felt inclined to make an issue of it and further spoil the occasion. I can cook better myself and I dont appreciate such appalling service so I wont be going back and I am contemplating letting Mr Blanc know what a mediocre offering we got from his franchise in Leeds!

Tried to get in somewhere for Mothers day and was lucky enough to get a table at Blanc's and wasn't disappointed. Had the fixed menu which was very good value for money (£11 for 2 courses, £13.70 for 3 plus a glass of wine), even with paying the extra for a glass of champagne rather than wine. The beef roast was from a good joint and could taste the difference compared to similar priced restaurants. This was the third time I have been back to Blanc's and I am now sure it is my favourite place to eat in Leeds. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the decor is tasteful and in keeping with the converted mill surroundings. The service is the best in Leeds. The staff although young, are extremely pleasant and friendly without being in your face. The wine list was impressive, based on a bottle of Malborough Sauvignon and a bottle of Sancerre, both highly recommended. I would recommend anything from the grill, and also the snails for starters if you can stomach the thought of eating them!!

Good range of food and wines for a hotel. Service friendly and warm, the food was excellent, tasty and well cooked. I would return
