I love the Art's café - the service is always prompt but if you want to sit and chat they leave you to do this. On this visit we both had the vegetarian Sunday dinner which was lovely - bubble and squeak bon bons (although I do like the nut roast - wouldn't it be great if there were TWO options for a sunday roast for veggies once in a while?). And then we shared the sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel sauce and popcorn ice cream - which was pretty special although maybe a bit too sweet for me. They have had the same menu for a while now - it is always exciting when they change and there is a new choice of mains and desserts. The prices are reasonable, the food was tasty and brought to us quickly and hot (even though it was busy) - it remains one of my best places to go for Sunday lunch, and actually for any kind of lunch or dinner in Leeds. As a vegetarian I just always wish there was a bit more choice (and for some reason: the starters are always the best - but this is across the board, not just at Art's).

I booked during the week to go with my husband and parents. It didn't communicate on website that there was a valentines menu available/ only a valentines menu available. My parents were visiting and I recommended here as they love fish and chips, which arts cafe normally do brilliantly. I asked if they could still do this dish and they couldn't. I didn't really like and thing on the small valentines menu so was just a bit disappointing to find out once we were there as had i known or been told when booking I wouldn't have gone there tonight

Great food, great atmosphere, good service - as it always is there. They seemed a little more hurried than usual but was a fairly busy. We had to wait a bit longer than usual for our food but what should you expect with such a great value offer running...and it just meant we enjoyed more of the wine.

The room is very welcoming and warm with interesting paintings. The staff were brilliant and went out of their way to accommodate some slight changes to individual dishes to suit my guests. The food was hot, tasty and well presented, although the fish potions were a little small. Only criticism, hard seats, otherwise, excellent

Overall lovely meal amongst the rest of the guests at the table, however my fish dish didn't come with any vegetables, so not really substantial enough for the price. Had to steal some of my boyfriends chips, which unfortunately were a little undercooked. Left still hungry.

Our second visit to Art's, and just as great an experience as the first. Food choice is varied, with the day's Specials offered also; prices are very reasonable for a City Centre venue too. The decor and layout of the tables lends itself to an intimate and friendly ambience. Staff are lovely, helpful and cheery - no-one standing on ceremony - very relaxed. As they have a two hour slot per table, I can imagine if you wanted longer it may be best to book a table around 8pm? Just a thought. We ate earlier around 6pm, and two hours was plenty of time for our party of 6. We shall be back (hopefully on a warm summer evening - unlike the snowy January night we have just had ☺).

Love this place, food and wine always good. We had the 3 courses for £15 menu. Whitebait for starter was really good with the remoulade, bit spicy that worked well. Main I had the smoked goats cheese and summer veg risotto as a main - bit bland by the time I got half way through and had food envy of my friend chicken dish which they enjoyed and looked delicious (wouldn't normally go for chicken but this was impressive). For dessert had the choc orange ganache and passion fruit sorbet - amazing, best dessert I have had in a long while. The portion sizes are never big but always nice and it means you can have 3 course without feeling stuffed. Service great and like the ambience. Worth visiting.

Have been many times before love the food and service however on this occasion we were told on finishing the starter we would have to leave for 7.30. We felt a little uncomfortable after this and felt we should have been aware before we ordered, I booked the table in August. There was plenty of time so didn't really see the need we didn't order sweets as felt wanted to leave. However the food was as lovely as always.
