The Reliance
This stripped-back Northern Quarter gastropub is the type of get-your-paper-out Sunday afternoon bolthole that every Leeds resident wants in their neighbourhood. The wines are good, the beers are local and the British pub grub is a giant leap above average. The seasonal menu, chalked up on boards above the scruffy wooden bar, changes weekly and mixes classics with imaginative vegetarian options like celeriac, leek and black truffle gratin with pear and radicchio. Start by asking your heavily tattooed waiter for a plate of home-cured charcuterie, made in-house, and prepare to linger.
