First post in a long time, but recently managed to get out to visit one of the best lunch time Italian restaurants hidden in the suburbs of Leeds. Trattoria Il Forno is a quaint place, with wood logs making up the wall complemented by a great view of the roaring fire pizza oven. I’ve never… Read More Trattoria Il Forno
It’s a Friday night. Its a bit wet. You know the feeling, you’re knackered from a week at work, and you cannot be bothered. Yet something keeps you going… Mine was the motivation to hit up Shears Yard. I’d heard good things and I spotted a deal that seemed like good value for 3 courses.… Read More World Class Cuisine at Shears Yard
There is a vast amount of choice when it comes to eating in Leeds. However, my top top is to have a look around for early bird and lunch menus and you’ll be able to eat somewhere decent for a couple of quid more than you’d spend at Greggs (and probably the equivalent to McDonalds… Read More Miller and Carter – The Headrow
Italian food seems to be my achiles heel at the moment. Indulgent, simple and fresh. This is my 2nd visit to Culto, and after hitting up the delicious ravioli last time I wanted to try one of their pizzas after eyeing up the other tables. When you eat at Culto you get seated but you… Read More Early Sunday at Culto
What can I say, all you can eat meat. The carnivorous amongst you will absolutely bloody love it. After an on-going argument with my better half about what medium-rare is meant to look like (she was obviously wrong, and thought medium to well was medium rare…) we decided to visit Fazenda. Fully booked on the… Read More Fazenda – Leeds
Tapas! Tapas! Tapas! Sometimes done well, sometimes absolutely abysmal. Thankfully Pintura falls into the first category. Although they offer delicious food, and a twist on traditional tapas, this probably isn’t one for those on a budget. Whilst not overly expensive, I think it would be unfair to categorise these guys on the budget end of… Read More Pintura Leeds
So, last night I was invited to my first blogger event! (Moving up in the World) It was a great night, and although I didn’t win Poker (turns out everyone else invited was a professional poker player [this may not be true]) The night was put on by Ladbrokes Poker and not only was it… Read More Poker Night at the Double Tree
Well, let’s face facts. This is not the home of fine dining, and bloggers aren’t really welcome. But never mind. I love this place! It’s greasy, delicious excellence. Meeting up with a few of the chaps before Christmas we settled on a quick munch and a couple of pints in said venue. Their own brand… Read More Almost Famous
Just before the dark nights approached, being the frugal family we are we decided to go for a country walk. We were rewarded with the most beautiful day and incredible feeling as we walked around Roundhay Park. I’d recommend anyone who wants to spend some quality family time together and get themselves simultaneously fit and… Read More Walk in Roundhay Park
As part of Fat Dad in Leeds, I write about Family Friendly restaurants. However, we managed to get auntie C to babysit so it meant we got a well deserved night off together. The health visitor told us repeatedly to make sure that we had time to ourselves, and that it was vital that we… Read More A Night at Cielo Blanco
