This chic restaurant has a light, airy ambience that is soothing and refreshing. As such it is the perfect stop for busy shoppers needing to rest and refuel but it is also ideal for romantic dinners, catching up with friends and even family celebrations. Immediately upon entering the dining space guests are made to feel welcome and at ease. An extensive selection of dishes from light nibbles to meaty main courses, ensure there is something to tempt everyone’s stomach.

Head Chef Richard Walton-Allen has created a fantastic menu that showcases the very best of European cuisine. His dedication to only serving the finest of seasonal ingredients has led him to source as much produce as possible as from local suppliers. Harvey Nichols 4th Floor Café is not just an eaterie in a department store; it is in fact one of the top European restaurants in Leeds. A quick glance at the a la carte menu is enough to know that this is a meal that should be savoured and enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Pan fried wood pigeon wrapped in prosciutto and served with puy lentils, pancetta, oven dried tomatoes, baby beetroot and port syrup is iron-rich and earthy, while the seared scallops with beetroot remoulade, gelee, radish, toasted pine nuts and horseradish is slightly sweet with a kick.

Impressive mains follow and vegetarian options include the decadent black truffle gnocchi with petit pois a la francais, roast salsify and asparagus. When in season meat lovers can enjoy roast saddle of lamb with pomme dauphine, cauliflower puree, roast grelot onions, black pudding fritter, greens and a rich lamb jus. What better way to end your meal than with one of the playful and innovative desserts! The pineapple tarte tatin served with almond and caramel cream and almond chilli brittle comes very highly recommended. Guests in the mood for an indulgence can enjoy a selection of local cheeses served with a 50ml glass of HN LBV port 2006.

Anyone not wanting to cook a traditional Sunday lunch is more than welcome to drop by the restaurant to indulge in succulent rib eye steak with shallot puree, sautéed wild mushrooms and parmentier potatoes or sea bass fillet served with clams, jumbo cous cous, young vegetables and stuffed quid accompanied by a cod and chorizo mousseline and shellfish and vanilla jus. There is no question that the food on offer at Harvey Nichols 4th Floor Café Restaurant is of a very high standard.
