Browns in Leeds

Had a lovely meal - with fantastic service from Danny and Bella! Food and drinks were 10/10 and we had a lovely time overall! Will definitely be back!

I can't fault this place. We rarely venture into the city centre for nights out these days, but used to come here a lot when we were a bit younger. On a rare trip out we came back to a place we have always loved and it did not dissapoint. Firstly it was pleasantly buzzing, but not rammed busy on a saturday evening, with a relaxed but vibrant atmosphere. The feel and style of Browns is ever stylish and decadent, and I feel like we are in some movie from the 1930s (in a very good way by the way). Now the service was excellent, we arrived without a booking and were greeted by lovely freindly ladies, and taken and a cosy snug corner of our choice, with no wiating at all. Our Waitress was delightful (I wish we had got her name, but if her manager is reading this she has red hair and was absolutely lovely). Without pressuring us or bothering us, and in the most natural, and relaxed frinedly manner she got us our menus and drinks and left us to choose. she didnt leave us waiting long, yest without pressuring us or being intrusive she checked in, and when ready to order took our orders and in what seemed not time at all returned with our food. I feel like I have waited longer at Mcdonalds (not that i visit there often). We both had steaks, Medium Ribeye for me and Medium Fillet for my partner and we agreed they were cooked to perfection. Along with delicious crispy seasoned fries and melt in the mouth onion rings. The steak was beautiful, crispy and caramlised on the outside, warm, through but pink and tender on the inside, and literally melted in the mouth.For dessert we had the most sublime Creme brulees. And again, we werent pressured but likewise did not have to wait long for our desserts. All in all it was a lovely experience, great food, great service. Thank you so much :)

Ousoumane was very kind and helpful! Great service. Thanks

Visited on Friday for a friends gathering, the first of a few Christmas get togethers. As always the food was pleasant but what really stood out was the excellent service we had from Darcy. She was attentive and actually seemed happy in her work. Thanks Darcy.

My first visit to Browns was amazing! The braised beef was the best I’ve ever had, and the staff were lovely—especially Clara, who was attentive without interrupting. The festive decor created a perfect Christmassy atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!

Had a lovely breakfast at Browns, Darcy was a great waitress, very friendly service. She helped us move to a warmer table with a heater which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!

Excellent champagne afternoon tea including excellent gluten free option! Darcey was excellent serving us and was very attentive.

Came in a week ago for a few chill drinks. Great pint of Guinness and superb old fashioned! bartender Luke was very chatty and gave great cocktail recommendations. Would recommend bar for date night or a few chill drinks.

Platter for 2 starter lovely The surf and turf the steak and trimming lovely but the lobster was rather dry as not much butter and heat lamp damaged/overcooked and dried out. Music was way too loud and our server was too quiet to be heard due to the back ground talking and music We where also left with no dinner plates for when the mains arrived overall a good night let down by some silly mistakes

Very nice afternoon tea and great atmosphere. Lovely service from Will!

Darcy was an amazing waitress and really made our visit

Went in for dinner with the family- absolutely fantastic place, food was amazing and our server Molly was super friendly. Would definitely recommend. Thank you

Darcy was a fantastic waitress and provided excellent service. The Sunday dinner was out of this world too.

Lovely meal after the cinema on Sunday afternoon. The food was spot on. Neither myself nor my husband left a scrap. However, what I’ve really appreciated was the way the staff treated us. Clara took our order (we were having cocktails before the meal) and asked if we would like her to put the order through after we had had time to enjoy them. How rarely this happens in my experience! Normally get things pretty much at the same time. Clara quietly asked if we were enjoying things - once, maybe twice, but not every two minutes. And at no point did she say ‘you guys’ - a real turn-off. Well done Browns in your excellent staff selection.

Lovely place nice food highly recommended

Molly the waitress was brilliant-thanks Molly

Amazing service from Darcy at Browns!

Dropped in got a table Amazing service n gorgeous food and good value too

Beautiful afternoon tea and excellent service from Darcy and the other staff! Thank you!

Lovely place lovely food and molly our waitress was lovely too

Thank you Molly! Great service and food

Had an absolutely stunning gluten free afternoon tea. Darcey was a fabulous hostess and made the entire experience extra special.

Darcey was very accommodating and ensured we sat somewhere comfortably. Food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

Superb spot for drinks, good atmosphere, and great staff very in tune with customers and really friendly .

Darcy was a lovely hostess, very friendly with her lovely Midlands accent and excellent service. Thank you

Darcy offered us great service and we had a lovely meal

Great meal & lovely service by Darcy.

9 of us had the most amazing meal at Browns and Molly was the most friendly, professional and forthcoming waiter we could have wished for. She made our evening a lovely experience and we will come back for more! 👍🏻

great food once again and the wonderful Darcy and Maura who looked after our table with great care👍😁I recommend👍😁👍

It was pleasure to be served Afternoon Tea by Elsa today at Brown's. She was very helpful and friendly. The Afternoon Tea was yummy and the restaurant were very obliging and let us book it for 1.30pm instead of their usual 3pm-5pm. All in all a lovely experience. Thank you to all.x

A quiet Thurs lunchtime. Good service. Drinks expensive but not outrageous. Perfect duck/plumb etc. starter! Chicken and leek pie and mash, too dry, poor (too flaky) pastry - deeded gravy and some veg on the side. Perfect chocolate tort (when served with icecream). Overall: very good/bordering on excellent.

It was a large group of 15 for food and 25+ for drinks. We were very well accommodated for in a separate room , received excellent booking service with all my pre queries were answered.

Gorgeous food cooked to perfection.Outstanding table service from Darcy our waitress who was attentive without being over the top. Lovely venue with a lovely ambience .

Received a £25 off birthday voucher email from Browns, so decided to go for a meal there while spending the day in Leeds. The setting is in a lovely old building, and being early evening it was fairly quiet in the restaurant, which we both prefer - can't abide having a meal surrounded by noisy diners. Our first choice dishes weren't available on that day, but the ones we did choose were very good. We had excellent service throughout our time there from our waiter, Oscar. Overall it was a very enjoyable meal and we would definitely go again in the future

We spent a lovely evening at Browns in Leeds. Food was gorgeous and our server Molly was an absolute delight . Keep up the good work .

My mum and I popped in for a bite to eat this evening. The food was really delicious. Molly our server was bubbly and welcoming. Will definitely return around Christmas!

Wonderful cocktails ! Brilliant service from Molly and Clara. Lovely evening out with my family!

Excellent food and service, a little quicker would of been nice but only a grumble.

Good food, horrifically slow serivce. We had to ask to order food, drinks, dessert, get the bill, get the card machine. They only offerd us table water when ordering our 3rd drink and desserts.

Big shoutout to Oscar at Browns for making my visit exceptional! His attention to detail and friendly attitude made all the difference. He recommended dishes that were spot on. Truly one of the best service experiences I’ve had – Oscar made me feel valued and welcome. Can’t wait to return!

Service was a little slow for a weekday afternoon but served in a polite and friendly manner when the server eventually arrived.

Had an evening of drinks here. Very helpful staff. Great selection of drinks. Great location. Enough big space for large groups but also areas for small groups and couples. Good atmosphere and great looking space to spend time in.

The food was ok, maybe not the best Brown’s food I have ever had, but Frankie’s service was outstanding. I am a lone diner and sometimes get overlooked or not treated well, but I would go back for the service.

Visited for the first time for a wine tasting. It won't be the last time. Fantastic place

We went for dinner before going to the cinema! Really nice atmosphere even if the place its was packed. We had cheese soufflé and teriyaki chicken for starters and 2 seabass risotto as main,they were lovely as always cant go wrong with Browns! Incredibile and friendly staff. I cant wait to go back. Thanks Browns🥰

Perfect food served on schedule and excellent staff made our wedding reception memorable

12/10/2024 I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an afternoon tea prepared by Chef Ela, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was inviting, with a beautifully set table that perfectly captured the elegance of the occasion. Chef Ela's attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the experience. The selection of teas was diverse, offering something for every palate. Each blend was carefully curated to complement the exquisite array of pastries, sandwiches, and scones. The standout items were undoubtedly the scones, which were light and fluffy, served warm with clotted cream and homemade jam. The finger sandwiches were equally impressive, featuring a delightful mix of flavors and textures—each bite was a little burst of joy. The pastries were a work of art, showcasing Chef Ela’s creativity and skill; they were as delicious as they were beautiful. What truly made the afternoon special was Chef Ela herself. Her passion for culinary arts shone through as she shared stories about each dish, making the experience feel personal and memorable. Her warmth and enthusiasm created a lovely atmosphere that made us feel truly pampered. Overall, I cannot recommend Chef Ela's afternoon tea highly enough. It was a perfect blend of flavor, elegance, and hospitality. Whether for a special occasion or simply a treat for yourself, this experience is one you won’t want to miss!

Zack’s Guinness was brilliant!! Best in Leeds easily, will be back

Lovely atmosphere, came for a few drinks and had amazing seasonal cocktails from Jack! Will be coming back very soon

Lovely meal. My thanks to Prabh the Chef.

Service at browns at the bar has gone down massively I would not recommend this place for drinks only overpriced and underwhelming.

Jack is ace!!! He has been wonderful and has made our evening something we will never forget.

Jack provided great service all evening!

Nice food, good service, would return.

If there are various dishes with salmon on the menu and when the menu is handed over, it is not stated that salmon has run out, that is strange. Furthermore, we had a nice breakfast.

Been coming to Leeds a long time and really can not fault Brown's. Everything about the place is perfect. Special mention to ZACK. A credit to this establishment and pulls the most amazing creamy pint of Guinness. 10/10. Food was amazing also. Already looking forward to coming back .

Dropped in for some food & a drink today. Fabulous, classy place. For any Guinness drinkers out there dont go anywhere else for a pint, best pint of Guinness in Leeds pulled with care & full attention & dedication by Zach for my husband. Hope the owners cherish & recognise this lovely young lads skills.Friendly, chatty & a real credit to your team of lovely people. Thank you Zach.,it was our pleasure to meet you. We dont have to search next time, we will be straight in. , we hope you will be working (No pressure) Xx Carol & Shane from Dublin xxx

Nice bar, lovely atmosphere but maybe have someone at the bar to serve. We were the only two people at the bar and still took over 20 minutes to get served while staff concentrated on table service only

Visited Browns the other day with my family and had such a lovely time. The atmosphere and the food was amazing but I have to thank our server Skye who was so kind to us. She served us with a constant smile and definitely made our experience. I am definitely coming here again!!

It was nearly empty for breakfast, but great food

Came to Browns for dinner last week and the service was amazing!! The food was all delicious and beautifully presented but the best part was the staff, we were served by Molly and she was lovely! Very attentive and willing to engage in a great conversation and help us whenever we needed! Thank you Browns, we will be back!!

Lovely place, Frankie gave us great service the whole evening

I like Browns as a place to enjoy a quiet drink in refined surroundings.

Came for lunch today and was served by molly, lovely girl, food was very nice, will come again

Went into browns for bite, had Darcey as our waiter. Lovely service!

The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was mediocre and the portions small. I had the rhubarb pork belly which was fine but nothing to write home about. As you can see from the photo the sauce had a film from being reheated and it tasted like any average barbecue sauce. Disappointing for the prices.

Always love coming to Browns, I’ve been visiting for years. Love the decor, the vintage feel of the place and the food is AMAZING. Sometimes the service can be a little slow, the waitresses can be seen standing around having a gossip when you might need them, but they’re very friendly and good at their job. Had brunch today and it was so good - can’t recommend the pancakes enough 🥞

We had lunch. Frankie who served us was nice and friendly but professional. The food was great and the cauliflower cheese was the best I've ever had. So all in all a good place to dine

Really lovely experience, Darcey was very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed our meals. We all had a great lunch and relaxing Thank you Darcey

great atmosphere, came for a family meal and got served by darcey, she was very attentive and advised us on her favourite dishes, which helped us make our decision. Food was also delicious!!

Our first time at Browns, great atmosphere, so many different things I wanted to try. Experience made even better by fab service from Darcey.

Best service this summer from Mollie

The scallop starter is a must try!

Manuela is the most excellent, warm hearted server! She completely made the experience, she is so lovely

Just stopped for a drink after meeting family

Great service from Elsa. Great gluten free options too

Lovely cocktails served by polite well presented staff

delicious food great people and atmosphere👍

Great afternoon tea, the scones were the best weve had in a long time. We will be back.

Fresh taste of home , friendly staffs, Good price

Food came very cold was such ashame.

Solid brunch of eggs royale in a fancy looking restaurant. Service great and served a good pint of Guinness

Great decor, chill atmosphere, good food and prices aren’t too high. Frankie was a very attentive server.

Visited for my daughter's graduation meal and had the special grad menu. Service was very good, food was lovely, and my daughter was made to feel special with free champagne and treats. The atmosphere was lovely too.

Popped into Browns in Leeds City Centre on a quiet Wednesday arvo. My partner and I treated ourselves to their British Afternoon Tea set, and it was proper posh. The place has this swanky modern grand cafe vibe, all sleek and stylish. Being midweek, it was blissfully peaceful. The whole vibe was dead fancy but not stuffy for me at least. Tiered stand came loaded with dainty sarnies, scones that were just chef's kiss, and some seriously indulgent cakes. Tea selection was top-notch, I also had cappucino coffee which was creamy but light, perfect blend. And the staff were attentive without being in your face. If you're after a bit of midweek indulgence without the weekend crowds, this is your spot. If you're after a bit of British elegance, this is your place. Perfect for a chilled date or just treating yourself!

Very empty at 2.30pm on a weekday, service very slow, items ordered were forgotten. All in all food good Pulled lamb shepherd’s pie lovely and tasty all though there were quite a few lumps of fat. Bread basket we ordered immediately to arrive before even ordering starters wasn’t delivered until our main course. Waiting to pay bill took forever due to ‘system problems’

Good portions and choice. A bit cold and Yorkshire pudding dry but rest of Sunday roast was fine

Great meal Lovely staff and fantastic service especially from Alisha.

I had such a fun experience at browns today! what a great start for a saturday!! Lauren provided amazing service and made sure we were all comfortable throughout our breakfast. 10/10 would dine again. Keep it coming…

Really nice food and the waiter Ousoumane was extremely polite and helpful. We will definitely come back!

The services was amazing , breakfast incredible and our server accommodated to all our needs

Food was good, drinks nice and the server was lovely, however the restaurant had not 1 bottle of ketchup in the whole place. The state of the bathroom was horrific though, I'm glad I went after my meal as I dont think I would have been as comfortable eating there. I will not return for that reason.
