The New Ellington

Anna Robinson

The New Ellington restaurant is attached to a small hotel on a quiet street in Leeds. When you enter, there is a lovely airy atrium bar, claiming to sell the widest variety of gins on offer. The cocktail menu is also pretty extensive. All the ones I have tried have been great. Try them before dinner, or even if you’re just passing by – the house specials are especially good. The décor is very 1920’s glamour – very jazzy and feels very elegant and classy, with black and white photos in the bar and stylised pictures downstairs in the restaurant. In the restaurant, the atmosphere is good with staff on hand but not intrusive. The menu is fairly extensive, with about 10 starters and mains each. The starters are around about £5-6 and the mains from £12-16, which is fantastic value for the quality of the meal. There is also a changing “Taste of Yorkshire” Menu with 3 options for each course. This is really good at £15.95 for 2 courses or £18.95 for 3. The portions on the menu are exactly the same size and quality as those on the a la carte, which is very refreshing. Dishes are beautifully presented with really interesting combinations of flavours and very filling. My particular favourite is the suckling pig done 3 ways with “apple textures” and the chocolate fondant with pistachio ice cream and pistachio brittle is a knock out. I’d definitely recommend this for a relaxed evening out.
