The Good Food Guide Restaurant Month: These six Leeds restaurants are offering bargain deals from today
January is notoriously tough for the hospitality industry, but The Good Food Guide is turning the "quietest month" into a month-long celebration of British dining.
From today until February 13, over 350 restaurants nationwide are opening their doors with exclusive deals and set menus.
The goal? To get us back into our favourite dining rooms (or trying somewhere completely new) without breaking the bank.
After the expense of the holidays, the idea of a tasting menu or a fancy lunch can feel out of reach, but The Good Food Guide’s Restaurant Month aims to lower the barrier for everyone—from cash-strapped students to families looking for a night off from the kitchen.
It is a perfect invitation to treat yourself to a glass of something delicious and finally take that seat at a table you’ve been meaning to book for months.
Whether you are hunting for a bargain on a budget or looking for a high-end, refined treat, here are six standout Leeds establishments taking part in this inaugural celebration of British dining.
The Leeds restaurants with offers during The Good Food Guide’s Restaurant Week 2026
Bavette (Horsforth)
- Address: 4-6 Town St, Horsforth, Leeds LS18 4RJ
- Opening Times: Wednesday-Thursday 5:30pm-10:30pm; Friday-Saturday 12pm-10:30pm; Sunday 12pm-6pm (Closed Monday and Tuesday)
- Tripadvisor Rating: 4.6/5 (100 reviews)
- The offer: 50% off drinks (Tue-Wed & Fri, lunch only). Maximum party size of six.
Named the UK’s best local restaurant by The Good Food Guide, in 2024 this French bistro in Horsforth is a masterclass in neighbourhood dining.
Founded by Sandy Jarvis and Clement Cousin, Bavette is a "love letter" to the classic Parisian bistro. While the food—think rich shellfish bisque and perfectly executed steak frites—is exceptional, it's the low-intervention wine list that truly shines.
With Clement's family owning a biodynamic vineyard in the Loire Valley, this 50% off drinks offer is the perfect excuse to explore some world-class bottles.
Bundobust
- Address: 6 Mill Hill, Leeds LS1 5DQ
- Opening Times: Monday-Thursday 12pm-10:30pm; Friday-Saturday 12pm-11pm; Sunday 12pm-9pm
- Tripadvisor Rating: 4.5/5 (1,151 reviews)
- The Offer: Two dishes and a drink for £11.25 (Mon-Fri, lunch only).
A Leeds institution that redefined Indian street food by pairing it with a world-class craft beer hall.
The vibe is casual—think communal wooden benches and upcycled decor—but the flavours are sophisticated. This lunch deal is the ultimate "Bundo hack," allowing you to grab their legendary okra fries (seasoned with tangy amchoor powder) or the iconic Vada Pav (the Mumbai veggie burger) alongside a cold brew for a price that beats any supermarket meal deal.
Maybe Later
- Address: 37 High St, Wetherby LS22 6LT
- Opening Times: Wednesday 5pm-11pm; Thursday-Saturday 12pm-11pm; Sunday 12pm-8pm
- Tripadvisor Rating: 5/5 (52 reviews)
- The Offer: Set tasting menu for £35 (Wed-Fri, lunch 12pm-3pm & dinner 5pm-6pm).
For those looking to venture slightly out of the city, Wetherby’s Maybe Later is an intimate hidden gem run by owners Lorenzo and Jane.
They focus on a small, monthly-changing menu that highlights seasonal produce from Wetherby’s own high street butchers and fishmongers. Their tasting menu is a creative journey—expect global influences like Italian porchetta or French-style monkfish—paired with a wine list hand-picked by Lorenzo, who brings a genuine passion for "thoughtful luxury" to the suburbs.
Tharavadu
- Address: 7-8 Mill Hill, Leeds LS1 5DQ
- Opening Times: Monday-Friday 12pm-2pm & 5pm-10pm; Saturday 12pm-10pm
- Tripadvisor Rating: 4.6/5 (2,623 reviews)
- The Offer: Three courses and a drink for £30 (Mon-Fri, lunch & dinner).
If you haven't experienced the Michelin-recommended Keralan cuisine at Tharavadu, now is the time.
Unlike standard curry houses, Tharavadu focuses on the "Land of Coconuts" in South India. Their three-course offer is a fantastic way to try the Meen Koottan (a famous fisherman’s family fish curry) or their massive, crispy Dosas.
It’s authentic, aromatic, and, as the critics say, the kind of food that makes you "profoundly happy."
The Cheesy Living Co.
- Address: 4-6 Corn Exchange, Leeds LS1 7BR
- Opening Times: Tuesday-Saturday 11am-6pm (Thursday until 9pm); Sunday 11am-4:30pm
- Tripadvisor Rating: 4.7 / 5 (36 reviews)
- The Offer: Fondue for £14.95 (Every day, lunch only).
Tucked away in the iconic Corn Exchange, this modern deli is a haven for British cheese enthusiasts.
Their legendary fondue is served with slow-roasted rosemary and paprika potatoes and fresh focaccia—the ultimate winter comfort food. Whether you opt for the classic blend or their spicy Nduja sausage version, the atmosphere "under the dome" makes this a uniquely Leeds dining experience that feels much more indulgent than its price tag suggests.
Uyare
- Address: 44 Victoria Gate, 3rd Floor George St, Leeds LS2 7AU
- Opening Times: Tuesday-Thursday 12pm-2pm & 5pm-10pm; Friday-Saturday 12pm-10pm; Sunday 12pm-8pm
- Tripadvisor Rating: 4.3/5 (65 reviews)
- The Offer: Three dishes with rice and bread for £25 (Tue-Fri & Sun, lunch & dinner).
Created by the same award-winning team behind Tharavadu, Uyare (meaning "higher" in Malayalam) takes South Indian dining to new heights - literally.
Located on the rooftop of Victoria Gate, it is Europe’s first South Indian rooftop bar and restaurant. This offer allows you to sample their "game-changing" menu, which includes contemporary takes on Keralan classics like the Chick-Chick Chaat, all while enjoying panoramic views over the Leeds city skyline.
