Review of Distrikt Restaurant in Leeds

Distrikt Restaurant in Leeds

Culinary enthusiasts come from far and wide to sample the excitingly innovative and unique menu at Distrikt Restaurant in Leeds. Taking its main influence from Spanish tapas, the head chef also includes delights from around the globe as well as sourcing ingredients from local Yorkshire producers and growers. The fun and lively array of flavours on the menu is reflected in the sleek yet playful décor, including a downstairs ‘disco’ bar, where guests can enjoy cocktails. Right in the heart of Leeds city centre, Distrikt is the ideal location to begin a night on the town, or alternatively to unwind and relax after the day’s events. Its energetic atmosphere is contagious and is perfect for get-togethers with friends, family or colleagues.

The tapas menu is great for sharing and really makes the meal an enjoyable social occasion. Try the tantalizing corn fed chicken wings in rosemary baharat spices and served with a green chilli and rose yoghurt, or the moreish field mushroom stuffed with dukkah spiced sweet potato, dried fruit, baby spinach and topped with tangy goats cheese. These beautifully balanced dishes are packed with flavour and offer something different then what’s usually found at tapas restaurants in Leeds. Guaranteed to get you licking your lips is the highly recommended soft and sticky pork ribs coated in orange and rosemary za atar spice (a special Distrikt adaptation of the original blend). More unusual are the grilled sprats with warm Mediterranean vegetable salad, lime chermoula dressing and crispy shallots.

As you would expect at any fine tapas restaurant there is a great selection of charcuterie meats and salad dishes. Serrano Iberico is Spain’s most famous ham, and its rich nutty flavour is a hit with foodies around the world. The intriguing sobrasada is made from pork loin and bacon, which has been minced and mixed with black pepper, paprika and spices to create a soft pate. Local flavour can be found in the Yorkshire smoked duck as well as local cheeses served with chutney and oatcakes. When it comes to restaurants in Leeds it is clear that Distrikt gives its guests an exciting culinary experience that should not be missed. The prices are extremely reasonable as well considering the complexity of many of the dishes. A light lunch menu during the week is idea for anyone who wants something out of the ordinary and the Sunday lunch offers dishes beyond the usual fayre. If you are serious about great food then make Distrikt top of your list of places to go!
