Tantilising taste of the Levant
Friendly service, delicious cuisine, sympathetic decor. I had lamb Tapssi including roast peppers and aubergines on a tortilla bed in a spicy sauce with an accompanying salad. I asked about Turkish coffee with cardamom which was not on the menu, but they offered to make it anyway, immediately transporting me to another warmer and exotic world of backgammon and nargilahs. My companion was particularly taken with the swivel dining-chairs. Will be included on my restaurant circuit.
I had a lovely time dining here for brunch. It has such a calm and serene vibe here and the waitress was so sweet and attentive. Halal food available here too which is always a plus!
We ordered the English Breakfast & it was spot on, nothing to complain about here. They had loads of options on the menu so you’ll have plenty of choice. No parking onsite but we managed to find parking on the side roads. Amazing experience overall & if we’re ever back in Leeds, will definitely visit again. Thank you :)
I haven't been to La Cafetiere Leeds for many years, but I went two weeks ago with my wife. This restaurant - cafe is an icon of the Hyde park corner in Leeds.
They have moderate prices. Excellent food. Freshly made in an open kitchen (if you sit close you get the nice food smells and sound of cooking). Bathroom is downstairs, no disabled bathroom, but wheelchair access is possible to the dining area. Can pay by card or cash. They have a wide variety of hot and cold drinks. The best part was eating. I was sad to leave the beautiful atmosphere after we finished .
I wanted to try their buzzing Turkish breakfast as in the picture, my wife chose their famous Falafel Wrap with chips (which is cheaper than the Falafel dish and equally fulfilling if you don't want the salad). I was hungry 😅, so we also ordered the Triple Platter with the delicious Halab Kubba with its delicious filling, crunchy fatoush salad and the Aubergine 🍆🍆 dip - Baba ganuj!.
It did not take them long to get the food for us, all came together. My pictures 📸📸📸 tell the story and the taste was amazing. We ate as much as we could, and took with us half the Falafel Wrap for another day. I noticed that the Turkish breakfast was too dry, but the taste was still great. Unfortunately the waitress forgot to get us the tea with the food as I asked, but she was really fast to bring it over once I reminded her of that. Excellent service and very courteous staff. I was glad to leave some tip, which I think was little for the care we get.
We paid £38 for all the food and drinks which is certainly not cheap, but moderate price. Ithink it is fair for the variety, the amount and the taste of the freshly made food.
I will certainly try to go to La Cafetiere again, probably popping in when there is a discount. I have seen some discounts on their Instagram page especially in the afternoons and for students. I don't think these are daily. Get more food and pay less 😀.
