Getting a five-star food hygiene rating is something every food business wants to achieve.
The Food Standards Agency's Food Hygiene Rating Scheme rates businesses from zero to five, with five described as 'very good'.
And dozens of Leeds food businesses were inspected over the summer, with many receiving the top rating.
These 13 restaurants, cafes and takeaways in Leeds received a five-star hygiene rating between June and August 2026.
