Raymond Blanc’s French brasserie in a Victorian mill
Brasserie Blanc Leeds offers a refined yet relaxed French brasserie experience, set in a beautifully converted Victorian mill near the waterfront. Part of acclaimed chef Raymond Blanc’s collection, it pairs classic French cooking with dishes inspired by his global travels, all built on fresh, seasonal ingredients from top British producers. The rustic-yet-sleek interior — exposed brickwork, low vaulted brick ceilings and an industrial-chic style — creates an intimate vibe, while the riverside terrace is perfect for an aperitif.
What to order
The menu is full of French classics and signature plates. Start with the cheese soufflé in a rich Coastal Cheddar sauce or the crab and sweetcorn bon-bons, then move on to the herb-crusted lamb roulade with Jerusalem artichoke purée, dauphinoise potato and lamb jus, or a classic Chateaubriand or filet de boeuf. Finish with the pistachio soufflé. It’s seasonal French cooking with real warmth.
Who it’s for
With its elegant setting, riverside terrace and Sunday lunches, Brasserie Blanc suits special occasions, leisurely weekend meals and relaxed dinners alike. Attentive, knowledgeable service makes it a dependable choice for couples and groups.
