Look around and feel the real spirit of Leeds in daylight. You'll see flowers, craft supplies, meat, seafood, stationary, and food! Also check out the original first stall of Marks & Spencer. It's beautiful and it's modern too. Great place to buy fresh fruits if you like healthy snacks.

In a normal time, there is a Sunday market every two weeks. The ruins are beautiful and you can have a picnic in the surrounding green area. If you fancy to have a walk, this is a perfect go to place, but if not, it's a short bus ride.

It's so cozy inside and being there with a cup of tea or coffee, is just perfect. Good place for brunch too, I always go for their american pancakes with berry compote, yogurt, and maple syrup, I just want some more.

A combination of Malaysian and Chinese cuisine, they cure my need of Indonesian food. I would say this is not the best place if you are a hygiene freak, but if you are up to some street food level goodness, come here. My favs are Malaysian Spicy Fried Rice, Laksa, Dark Soy Chicken Rice, and the flat rice noodle whose name I always forgot (but they'll help you).

Some real good thai food in affordable price. Tbh, I am not a fan of their pad thai, but all curries taste great. My fav is Panang Curry with Ginger and Garlic Rice. They have lunch deal as well which offers you starter and main course for less than £8.

Also situated in Leeds Kirkgate Market, Manjit's kitchen gives you options of good Indian cuisine. My fav is Mumbai Burger. Seriously, a burger with potato ball as the patty does not sound appealing. But, try that Mumbai Burger, and flavours are exploding in your mouth. They have these magical sauces and condiments which flow into your mouth once you take a bite of its Mumbai Burger. Bonus menu is Mango Lassi!

Located in Leeds Kirkgate Market, OWT offers something rather different. They changed their menu every month, using ingredients supplied by their neighbours in the market, and open for breakfast and lunch. It's simple, fresh, but high in quality.

Casual eat and good drinks? yes please. It's all about vegetarian indian dish. My favs are paneer and mushroom tikka and okra fries. I love the mango beer, but some of friends like the pale ale better. Well, they have one for everyone, right? this place can go busy on dinner time, so prepare for a long waiting time if you aim for that.

A true speakeasy jazz bar! A bit expensive in drinks and entry especially Friday and Saturday, but if you love jazz live music, this is the place where you can dance, sing along, or just... enjoy your drink.

Just next to the oldest pub in Leeds, Turk's Head offers a younger and more sophisticated atmosphere inside. Stay outdoor in the sunny day, its secluded alley will make you feel like you are not in the city centre.

The intimate pub feeling, the selection of drinks and snack. Oh, did I mention about their banoffee pie? If you visit The Reliance after a dine out somewhere else, skipped the dessert and get the pie here! Also, they do have a restaurant as well which offers you the next level of pub food.

Situated just 7 minutes away (walking distance) from my place, this Leeds local brewery offers a good selection of beers. If IPA is your kinda beer, this is a perfect place to unwind. They just opened a new outdoor space in case you want to enjoy a very rare nice weather of Leeds. Think about snacking? Fear not, they provide pizza for you to munch.
