The Cut & Craft Leeds
23 King Edward St, Leeds LS1 6AX, United Kingdom
OUR TRUSTED 8K HAPPY PARTNER
If you're after a place in Leeds that delivers style, flavour, and a touch of indulgence, The Cut & Craft Leeds is one of those spots you’ll remember-and return to. Tucked inside the iconic Victoria Quarter at 23 King Edward Street, this restaurant-bar hybrid blends old-world elegance with modern flair, serving up a menu that’s both polished and unapologetically hearty.
The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a gorgeously designed space-high ceilings, striking chandeliers, and leather booth seating that gives off sophisticated brasserie vibes. It's the kind of place that’s just as good for a casual weekday lunch in Leeds as it is for a date night or celebration dinner. And yes, there’s outdoor seating, perfect when the Yorkshire sun decides to show up.
But let’s talk food. One of the stars of the show has to be the 10oz Dry Aged Sirloin with Half a Grilled Lobster-a surf and turf duo that perfectly captures what The Cut & Craft does best: premium ingredients, no fuss, full-on flavour. For seafood lovers, Oysters and the Seafood Tempura are beautifully presented and fresh, offering that perfect mix of crisp, tender and ocean-salty satisfaction.
If you're leaning more toward comfort food with a twist, their Braised Beef, Truffle Fries, or the Mac N Cheese are absolutely worth a try. The Lamb Trio on Mint Pea and Lamb Croquettes have a melt-in-the-mouth texture that showcases the kitchen’s attention to detail. Vegetarians aren't left out either-the Goat Cheese Salad is more than just a token dish, and their vegan offerings are equally well thought-out.
Ask any local, and they'll tell you the Sunday Roast Platter for Two here is a bit of a cult favourite. Think rich, slow-roasted meats, crisp potatoes, velvety gravy, and all the traditional trimmings. Pair it with a glass of red wine or even Prosecco for that elevated weekend feel.
The bar at The Cut & Craft Leeds is a destination in itself. Their cocktail menu is inventive but not overcomplicated. Classic choices like the Margarita are balanced and punchy, while seasonal signatures give regulars something new to look forward to. Gin fans will appreciate the curated selection of British and international labels. Prefer bubbles? You’ve got Champagne and Prosecco by the glass or bottle. And coffee lovers, don’t worry-they serve up proper barista-style coffee, and it’s great.
One thing that keeps customers coming back is the vibe. There’s live music on select nights, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, and an atmosphere that strikes a sweet spot between lively and laid-back. It's also popular for solo diners, thanks to its attentive service and comfortable seating at the bar or cozy tables for one.
The private dining room is ideal for group bookings or celebrations, and the team here knows how to make you feel special without going over the top. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, a long dinner, or late-night bites and drinks, you’ll walk away satisfied.
There’s no shortage of restaurants in Leeds city centre, but not all of them hit that balance of style, substance, and accessibility like this one. You’re getting premium quality dishes, an extensive wine list, great beer, and expertly made cocktails-without the stiff fine dining pretension. And considering the setting and service, pricing remains reasonable.
A few honourable mentions from the menu? The French Onion Soup is deep, sweet and savoury with bubbling cheese. The Garlic Prawns? Bursting with buttery goodness. And don’t sleep on the Raspberry Sorbet if you’re looking for a refreshing way to end your meal.
