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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
