Rodley restaurant set to reopen
A Rodley restaurant is set to re-open, creating around 20 jobs, two years after "difficult trading conditions" forced it to close.
Paris, at Calverley Bridge, was a stalwart of the city's dining-out culture for almost 20 years before it became Olivers Paris in 2003.
But it served its last meal in October 2007.
Now the building, which is more than 100 years old, has been bought by Eddie McGawley managing director of Trimac Structures, Moortown, who also owns Max and Eddie's Deli/Cafe in Moortown.
It has been renamed Paris Brasserie and general manager Andrew Mirfin, who owned city-centre bar Baby Jupiter for five years, is at the helm.
Mr Mirfin said: "We decided to keep the name because everybody knows that name.
"Because it's out on a limb we'd always have to say 'it's where Paris was'.
"And we wanted to revive an old classic."
The bistro has undergone a complete refurbishment and the bar area has been extended.
In keeping with its name, the menu includes a selection of French dishes.
It will have around 100 covers and will open until 2am Fridays and Saturdays, with live entertainment and theme nights planned.
Mr Mirfin said there would be secure parking and a shuttle service to take people home.
The restaurant opens to the public on Monday, November 9 and will be open from 11am every day.
