Incredibly thoughtful dishes that are playful and so tasty. The gluten free fried chicken is things dreams are made of… so good they even have it on a roast dinner! My partner always gets the chicken and it even made me break being veggie to try it… no regrets. The grilled cheese is part of Leeds food history. The chickpea fritters are to die for. The careful collection of Gasqui wines are paired with such thought to each meal. Behind the food, Esther and James are the heart behind the menu. Esther is such a fabulous, friendly and funny host, she is extremely attentive in a relaxed and un fussy way. On my partner’s birthday she even put a candle on a gravy boat. Fantastic food for a very reasonable price! We have been going to OWT since they started in the market, we followed them to the corn exchange and then now Burley Road. Don’t sleep on OWT! You’ll leave full and happy.
Absolutely outstanding food, we have eaten here on multiple occasions and it has been consistently excellent. The staff and owners deliver wonderful service. I could not recommend Owt more!
We have always loved Owt since they were in the Corn Ex and we’re excited to see what they had done with their new restaurant. It’s so lovely inside and I love how they’ve kept it in theme with the previous restaurant. The food was amazing as always and the gluten free fried chicken noodles were so good I could’ve eaten it again. My friends dishes all tasted so good too, everyone polished their plates. Love the Owt team and the new gaff is so lovely! Well done x
If you find yourself in Leeds city centre and want lunch, go here. It’s perfect.
It’s a small restaurant in the Corn Exchange, a beautiful space with a short but frequently changing menu. I took my daughter & goddaughter there today during a shopping trip. I think between us we had most things on the menu.
The fried chicken and triple cooked chips I had were very good, their dill pickles were the best I’ve had in the UK & the plain green salad was the best I’ve had outside of France.
Service was friendly, engaging and efficient, food and drinks arrived in good time.
I highly recommend this place & can’t wait to come back.
The food was very tasty. Small menu but plenty of veggie options 🌱🌱 Good seasonal dishes. We had a lamb roast and winter hash
Some of my favourite food in Leeds, one of the first places I recommend and take people when they visit! With a menu that changes regularly, you never have to get the same thing. Great options for veggies and vegans as well which are always super interesting. If you are in the area, definitely check it out!
Lovely little place tucked into the Corn Exchange. Not a lot of seats and some of the two tops were quite cozy, but it still felt spacious and light.
Small menu but everything looked tasty. I went for the grilled cheese and only wish I'd been hungry enough to get the chips too because those looked amazing as they paraded past to other tables.
I loved that every menu item was paired to a recommended wine or beer.
All very lovely. Definitely recommend for a quick bite or a leisurely meal.
What a pleasure to have an evening at OWT! Fantastic food and fantastic staff. Thank you! We highly recommend the focaccia
It is quite simply the best food in Leeds. Gluten free chicken roast. Gluten free fried chicken. It is 10 out of 10 I almost cried. If you visit you will not be disappointed. 10/10 Gluten free fried chicken
Always the best food, vibes, service and time at Owt. My sister loved her fried tofu baguette and my GF fried chicken ranch salad was incredible.
Finally got to try the chicken and it was the best fried chicken in leeds hands down.
They have plenty of veggie and vegan options too on their seasonal menus. Always recommend no matter which menu though.
Even their drinks selection is top tier. Had some of their amazing wine previously but this time just had a cloudy apple juice which was so nice. Not your averages juices and smoothies!
They’re always so fab and lovely, giving the best service too. Obviously the interior is stunning and it’s such a lovely spot to eat even on a boiling summers day!
