Grill classics and seafood in the Old Post Office
The Restaurant Bar & Grill occupies the historic Old Post Office building in the heart of Leeds — a striking setting with soaring high ceilings, elegant architecture and an open kitchen that puts the cooking on show. Warm lighting and rustic décor make for an inviting atmosphere, while in warmer months the outdoor terrace, with its lush greenery, offers a lovely spot for al fresco dining.
What to order
The menu centres on signature steaks, fresh seafood and seasonal dishes, with globally influenced flavours and premium ingredients. Start with the zesty salmon tiradito or crispy squid, then move on to a well-cooked steak — the ribeye is a favourite — or a seafood plate. On Sundays, the roasts are a highlight, served with rich bone-marrow gravy and freshly baked beef-dripping Yorkshire puddings, alongside a strong brunch menu of eggs benedict, smoked salmon tartine and shakshuka. Vegan and vegetarian options feature throughout.
Who it’s for
With its handsome setting and expertly crafted cocktails, this is a good choice for a special occasion, a date or a celebratory meal, as well as a relaxed weekend brunch or Sunday roast. Attentive service makes it a dependable city-centre pick.
The Space
Set in the landmark Old Post Office on City Square, the room still shows off the building’s gilded ceiling and grand pillars, now paired with a lavish makeover. Honey-onyx marble, deep walnut panelling and olive-green leather banquettes lend it the polish of a Manhattan grill room, anchored by a handsome feature cocktail bar.
Tall windows flood the open-plan space with light by day, while the open grill puts the cooking on show and a greenery-draped terrace opens up in warmer months.

A wonderful light lunch snack – we shared an Asian platter with friends, which was very tasty. Wonderful atmosphere, and our waiter Adrian looked after us attentively and provided wonderful and friendly service.
Really fantastic food!! We came in for a quick bite, but couldn't resist the fried dish, which turned out to be 10/10! Maria looked after us so well, was so friendly and attentive, that she made the food even better!
