From tasty street food grabbed on a lunch break to a tasting menu experience that you’ve looked forward to for weeks, there’s something for every occasion in the city.
Each month, booking website OpenTable analyses more than 500,000 new diner reviews and sorts them by location to help foodies discover new favourites - and make your decision easier. This includes top ten most booked lists for counties across the UK.
In West Yorkshire, nine of the 10 most popular restaurants this month are in Leeds. Here are the certified customer favourites, and what diners had to say about their experience.
