As winners of the best sandwich offer at the 2013 National Pub Food Challenge, you can be sure that there is a healthy offering of ‘sarnies’ on the menu. Indulge in a shrimp po’boy, featuring Cajun crumbed deep fried king prawns with crisp leaves, garlic butter and spicy mayonnaise. The classic Philly cheese steak comes highly recommended and with sliced rump steak layered with sautéed onions, mushrooms, peppers and melted cheddar cheese is it any surprise? Like many British restaurants in Leeds there is also a variety of burgers and mission style burritos, which are all hearty and mouthwateringly good. What is so special about So! is that they cater for guests who are gluten intolerant, although some of the sandwiches can not be made ‘gluten free’ due to other ingredients. If in doubt the servers are only too happy to help.

Eating is a social occasion and at So! Bar and Restaurant they have honoured this fact by supplying many different sharing platters and boards. Try the ‘cone of wings’, which are hot and spicy but accompanied by cooling soured cream and celery sticks. Always popular, the nachos are heaped with cheese, refried beans, salsa, guacamole and lots of soured cream while the scoobies are flour tortillas stuffed with different fillings before being toasted in a frying pan. Of course main dishes are also on offer and diners looking for something a little more traditional can enjoy egg and chips, fish and chips, rack of ribs, or sweet and sour duck. Restaurants in Leeds usually have a great dessert menu and So! is no exception. Choose from frozen lemon meringue pie, open summer trifle, salted caramel brownie or the intriguing ‘chips and chips’ featuring doughnut fingers dusted in sugar and served with chocolate fudge and toffee sauce and Oreo ice cream on the side.
