Leeds: A Place Where Contemporary Trends Merge With Old Culinary Traditions

Visiting a British city isn’t necessarily about clinging to the old culinary traditions. And Leeds, with its diverse and innovative culinary scene, is a vivid proof. Eatagram invites you to explore the city’s dining traditions.

This megapolis offers an astounding wealth of culinary experiences with a backdrop of its gorgeous architecture, numerous museums and historical sights. In Leeds, rich British traditions provide a solid base for a flourishing multinational and trendy dining culture.

But we’ll start our gastrocultural tour with tasting a traditional specialty. As Leeds is a city in Yorkshire, we can’t pass over the iconic Yorkshire pudding. It’s a go-to side dish and, at the same time, a culinary subject to misunderstanding, as it’s not a pudding at all, but rather a fluffy hollow pastry served with gravies or roasted meat. Pies are staples of the local diet. In Leeds, pies come with various fillings and go perfectly with steaks, ale, and vegetables. Pies are commonly served with a side of mushy peas.

And now, it’s time for a multicultural dining adventure. As you wander down the city’s streets dotted with coffee shops, restaurants and food trucks, you’ll find an abundance of Middle Eastern and Asian food. Be sure to enjoy falafel, spicy curries and Thai noodles.

For visitors seeking premium dining experience, Leeds offers a range of high-end restaurants ensuring exquisite dining culture and reimagined traditional recipes.

Leeds is a heaven for craft beer enthusiasts. Local microbreweries and pubs serve an array of ales and beers, which pair well with any meals in Leeds.
