As the days get shorter and temperatures begin to drop, there's something particularly appealing about sitting down to a warm, hearty meal.
Autumn is a good excuse to swap lighter summer dishes for comforting food, from roasts to steaming bowls of ramen.
We've rounded up 13 Leeds restaurants that are perfect for an autumn meal - whether it's because of their seasonal menus, cosy settings or the warming dishes they serve.
