Independent restaurants are the lifeblood of our city’s food and drink scene – and we have heaps of them, from tiny takeaways in Harehills to fine-dining restaurants in the city centre.
We asked Yorkshire Evening Post readers for their favourite independent restaurants in the city and had hundreds of responses. Here are 19 of their recommendations.
