Excellent food and service, nice setting, we both enjoyed the meal, not a 6 because my friend's fish was slightly over cooked and the toilets are downstairs and not particularly good
In our opinion the meal was great. Some lovely flavours and a good price for a set menu too! The only bit of criticism (from the wife, not me) is portion sizing, she felt her meal was a bit big. All in all, a perfect meal, well done!
Arts is a Fantastic restaurant I've visited many times. The staff are very good at catering for large tables. It's also a great cosy venue for a lunch or quiet coffee alone.
Good food and price, attentive staff throughout our meal. Had to wait a while for food but not too long and there were over 5 of us and restaurant was busy so not that bothered
An enjoyable Thursday dinner. Good value, reliable choices from the "early bird" menu. Excellent drinks - all in the usual relaxed Arts atmosphere. Always a great place to eat.
cosy romantic bohemian atmosphere with great food & friendly attentive staff.
Staff were pleasant and welcoming. It was quiet on a Sunday night, the food was interesting and well presented.The wine list was quite short but wide ranging.
My 56th birthday meal and 20th anniversary of my first visit to Arts. Early evening, nice summer buzz going on inside and a lovely evening for my wife and I. Thanks to the staff for making a fuss of us both, the food was great (and the portions were huge!) Art's has been consistently one of my favourite places to eat in Leeds and the length of time I've been going proves my point! Ace place, long may you prosper.
We went with the set menu offer. The food was very nice, the staff was friendly. It was good value for money. Thank you very much.
Dependable food and always lovely service. Been eating at Arts since it opened and still great. great lunch plates and wonderful choice on the evening menu.
Wonderful food and friendly staff , very busy so you need to book a table. Good size portions and you definitely won't go hungry. Well worth it
The food was great as it always is, each time I eat at Arts cafe It is always well presented, well cooked and tasty The staff are always friendly, attentive and helpful
Lovely service, tasty food, great value 😀 The menu has good choice and great quality, we had the early bird and it was very nice
We have wanted to dine at Arts Café for sometime now having heard fantastic reviews and we were not disappointed. Delicious food teamed with a relaxing environment and friendly staff - I couldn't have asked for more after a busy week at work. Fabulous Thursday evening treat! Absolutely fantastic and we will definitely be back soon and recommending our friends dine there too :-) Many thanks Jen
Fantastic food very good, excellent service. Great value. We will return to enjoy the quiet atmosphere and lovely wine. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Arts Cafe never disappoints; fabulous food and wine, and the service is always relaxed but timely. Never feel rushed, even at peak time. Highly recommended.
Tasty food, varied menu, changes frequently. Use quality produce, cooked with care and attention to detail. Staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. I love it there. Puddings are divine!
lovely clean restauant, with friendly helpful staff. The food was proper cooking with fresh ingredients, the menu has something for everyone, from light meal/snack to three courses thank you
Booking was easy, the menu was good, the service was friendly and responsive and the food was tasty. The atmosphere is always lively and cosmopolitan
Such lovely food and atmosphere. Great staff 😊. Individual food,I am feed up of going to places that a sister restaurant or two serves. Well done Arts
We were there early on a Wednesday evening and although not full, it was respectably busy... service was very good and the menu choices for one vegetarian and one carnivore were excellent - and the food was delicious! Only had a main course but we both commented on how good it was, and just the right size of portion.
Eaten here several times and from the moment you walk in, you feel welcome and at home. Excellent food, great service and amazing atmosphere. I will be back many more times to come/
it was 9 years since me and my friend ate here and the atmosphere is still a good as all them years ago. The staff had excellent knowledge of wine and food which was reflected in their passion. my only complaint was the main course could of been hotter but I still ate every but of the rump pic lamb. keep up the good work
I visited last Sunday for the first time (with my mum who is a bit fussy) because I had read good reviews on the Internet. I was thoroughly impressed. The cafe itself is light and airy, clean and attractive. The service is efficient and firefly and happy to serve to serve a jug of chilled tap water with our meal. We overdid the vegetarian lunch plate and the fish lunch plate. Both were delicious and generous portions. The flavours and ingredients were fresh and interesting. We were catching a train so couldn't linger, but had we more time I would have opted for one of the desserts which sounded delicious. Will definitely return to sample more of the menu.
The food and service were both good. The service was attentive and efficient without being intrusive. Despite there being two large groups in there were no delays for me.
Great food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Small but good menu and some interesting dishes. Good to see that this place is still here and still worth a visit.
Wonderful staff, wonderful service, wonderful food! Being vegetarian I sometimes struggle for food options other than a "veggie bean burger" or a salad...this is never the case at Arts cafe. I'm always able to choose something delicious and different from the menu nd it never ever disappoints. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food and drinks, and the lovely staff were incredibly friendly - thank you for making my sisters birthday meal so fab! Highly recommended.
Great atmosphere, but a little bit too busy at times. Food was all right, but not extraordinary. Anyway, good place to go and I will lcertainly come back.
Chose from the set menu, had a lovely meal at an incredibly reasonable price!
Gorgeous food which arrived promptly after ordering. service was very very good, the staff were attentive & reacted quickly to requests for drinks etc. Atmosphere was lovely, very relaxed
Very enjoyable food in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The staff were attentive and extremely friendly. This has always been a favourite restaurant of mine and will continue to be!
Lovely staff as always. Very accommodating even though they were busy let us change tables. Reliable food and interesting flavour combinations. Nice laid back atmospher, this has been a regular hangout since it opened over20 years ago!
Excellent as ever. Fish and chips usually best left to the fish shops was yummy and the fish beautiful;white&moist. Very friendly attentive service. As always.
Food was good as normal and the staff are always friendly. Just let down a little this time as they were out of stock of many of the white wines on the list
Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and able to enjoy a few drinks afterwards without any rush. We will definitely visit again perhaps to try lunch next time.
We were looking for a nice non-chain restaurant where we could get a late lunch (after 2pm). The Art's Cafe was perfect as it was busy enough with lunch and cafe customers. Also nice choice for those of us wanting a full 2 course meal, as well as those just wanting a sandwich or soup. The food was fresh and nicely prepared. I particularly liked the mains chicken with chorizo. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will return next time in Leeds.
I've visited Art's Cafe twice for lunch in the previous month and found it very welcoming. The food is high quality and imaginative/creative. I had the peppered mackerel salad and it was a full plate of delicious fish, green beans, sun dried toms, salady bits topped with a poached egg - yummy! It was very good value for money too (oops and we both loved the chocolate sponge with rum 'n' raisin ice cream and cherry sauce - soft and oozy and full of flavour!)
Good service. The food was excellent. The best food I've had in a long time. Downside.....no gap between courses. Felt a little rushed. Portion sizes could be bigger. Will definitely return though. The crab salad was amazing.
Good level of choice. Great service. Excellent value. Pleased we found it through quandoo and trip advisor. Meat was perfectly done and atmosphere was friendly
Lovely food with an original twist - crab salad for starter was actually quite spicy!. Good service and very reasonable prices. Nice, relaxed atmosphere - will definitely return.
