Leaving Leeds

Over two years of travelling regularly to Leeds has opened up many foodie opportunities. It seemed appropriate that my leaving party this week was held at the first place I ate out back in September 2012.  The Wardrobe www.thewardrobe.co.uk/ right opposite the Northern Ballet was the perfect location its raised area (bookable in advance) was just the right for a great celebration.


Memorable meals always with a crowd of good friends and colleagues have been enjoyed at Roast and Conch, Arts Cafe www.artscafebar.com/  Jamie's Italian and Brasserie 44 www.brasserie44.com/ to name a few.



Indian Restaurants stand out including AM Kitchen www.amkitchenandbar.com/ and recently Tharavadu serving food from Kerala and currently Trip Advisors number one Indian in the city www.tharavadurestaurants.com/ I can really recommend this one, located close to the station and buzzing with activity even on a wet November night.



Leeds is a great city for shopping and entertainment with the brand new Trinity Leeds right in the heart complementing the traditional splendour of the Victoria Centre and all the big names are here too.


One treat has been the morning walk to Quarry Hill through the fabulous City Market with its diverse spacious halls, street of butchers shops and spectacular flowers stalls.



Leeds is the perfect city for a short break. My recommended accommodation choice is Roomzzz www.roomzzz.co.uk/  this centrally located apart hotel has great studio rooms, wonderful staff and is excellent value.
