From independent cafes and local pubs to high-end restaurants, there is much choice in our city.

The bustling and ever-growing food scene in Leeds means that deciding where to go for lunch can be difficult. We asked our YEP readers to name the best places to grab lunch and they delivered.

Among the top 15, there is popular Italian restaurant Salvo’s, in Headingley, which has just announced the owners are retiring and passing on the baton to someone else. Readers also mentioned Lamb and Flag, in the city centre, which has recently released a new menu that was taste-tested and is recommended by our very own reporter.

YEP readers have named Bundobust, City Centre, as one of the best places to grab a lunch in Leeds. The craft beer bar serves Indian street food. The menu includes okra fries, bhajis and vada pav.
