There is a never-ending list of things to do and see in this area of Leeds, from dining out at some award-winning independent restaurants and enjoying a pint at a local boozer to browsing a monthly market.
It was actually named one of the top ten places to live in the north of England by the Sunday Times a few years ago, albeit losing out to Ilkley for the top spot.
The judges called it their “favourite corner of Leeds” before commending the high street packed with independent businesses such as De Baga, George and Joseph Cheesemongers and the Little Bookshop.
Here is the ultimate guide to Chapel Allerton with all the things you need to do, places you need to see and restaurants and bars you need to visit when in the Leeds suburb.
1. The Mustard Pot
It’s all happening on Stainbeck Lane, the heart of Chapel Allerton, and the Mustard Pot is one of the most-loved pubs not only in the area but in Leeds.

It is well known for its fantastic food offering, which includes one of the city’s best Sunday roasts. | National World Photo: National World

3. The Regent
Located on Regent Street, this is one of the city’s most loved pubs too. The two-roomed stone-built Victorian pub is packed with character - and feels more like a “home away from home”. | Jonathan Gawthorpe Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe

5. El Bareto
The term ‘hidden gem’ may be overused but fits this Spanish restaurant and bar in Gledhow Valley Road perfectly. Pop into for tapas, paella and live music and you’ll soon see why it’s a local favourite. | National World Photo: National World
6. George & Joseph Cheesemongers
It was name dropped in the Sunday Times so it must be mentioned here. Based in Harrogate Road, this award-winning shop is a cheese lovers’ dream. It stocks the finest Yorkshire cheeses, along with a selection of the highest quality British and European farmhouse cheeses. You can also get coffee beans, fresh bread and pastries, essentials such as butter, milk, yoghurt and eggs, alongside a selection of beers, wines and gin here, too. | Simon Hulme Photo: Simon Hulme
