The Stroom Restaurant in Leeds

At first glance the imposing 19^th Century façade of The Stroom Restaurant in Leeds may give the impression that a stuffy, formal dining experience awaits. However, this could not be further from the truth. Upon entering you are greeted with fresh, contemporary and relaxed surroundings. Sleek, modern furnishings combine with simple place settings to give you the ultimate dining experience. There is also a sophisticated cellar bar where you are welcome to have a drink and relax before your meal. Head chef Richard Guitton is sure to delight your taste buds with his take on modern European cuisine. Blending deep, intense flavours of the Continent with traditional British classics, this award-winning chef has created a menu that is second to none.
