Honestly love going to Hern, the food, service and atmosphere is always perfect. The hosts are very knowledgeable in the food and wine. The atmosphere makes you feel as if you’re dining with friends making the small, intimate space comfortable.

Incredible food- menu changes more or less every week and there’s a set menu that can be adapted for allergies/requirements. Really small place with great service and a good range of natural wines. 100% recommend!

What an incredible place. Beautifully cooked, seasonal menu with the most wonderful wine pairings to run alongside. Everything felt so thoughtful and intentional. Excellent service from friendly, knowledgeable staff. To top it off, it is also incredibly reasonably priced. I think about the time I had at Hern regularly and I cannot wait to go back for more.

We very much enjoyed the set menu dinner with wine flight. We started with a range of very tasty appetisers to share followed by an asparagus starter then a delicious optional turbot dish. The main was bbq pork. The lemon dessert with olive oil foam to finish. All the courses were freshly prepared to order with excellent flavours. All appropriately sized for the meal. The wind flight was unusual, interesting wines that partnered the food very well. Service and ambience are reserved but very efficient.

Locale semplice, cucina di classe. I menu sono fantastici, con un ottimo bilanciamento di carne, pesce e vegetariano. Si finisce il pasto soddisfatti ma non appesantiti. Io servizio è professionale, alla mano e cortese. La carta dei vini potrebbe beneficiare di qualche aggiunta ma è estremamente interessante. Consiglio questo posto vivamente. Calcolate £70 a testa circa.

Went on a Saturday for the set menu with and added cheese course and suggested wines. Service was relaxed and friendly, and pacing of each course was just right- neither waiting too long or feeling rushed. All the food was well presented, and I particularly enjoyed the lamb main.

Hern is a small intimate restaurant situated in the trendy Leeds Suburb of Chapel Allerton It offers a fixed set menu With a small space such as this and no room for manoeuvre on the menu the cooking and service needs to be absolutely on point…and it is!! An excellent menu with every dish worthy of minute examination, in short great service and sublime food

Fabulous food, beautiful little restaurant and super cool and friendly team. Myself and my Husband visited this weekend and had the most amazing meal at Hern. We’ve lived in the area for over 9 years and whilst Hern had only been open for the last 4, we have always bypassed booking in - well absolutely more fool us!! This place is incredible! For me, the Venison was probably one of the nicest pieces of meat I’ve ever tasted - absolutely melt in the mouth joy! As a non-drinker, I was most impressed by the AF options available. Some of the best places I’ve eaten have really let themselves down on the choices available but the ‘soft-drinks’ were way more than that - the L’antidote was a treat! Thank you again to the whole team - we will definitely be back. (Only one teeny tiny niggle…. the space was a tad on the cold-side - but I do appreciate this is so hard to manage, especially in Winter!)

Had a special family meal here and wow, probably the best fish dish I've ever had. I usually take a lot more photos but the food was just too good. So impressed with the menu with such imaginative dishes and favour. They offer a four course menu with optional extras and several tasty starters and bread to wake your taste buds up before the main event. Delicious, great value, will definitely be back...oh and they made room for us to take our dog after ringing to ask if it was possible. 10/10!

I've walked past Hern so many times in Chapel Allerton and always wanted to visit, but, shamefully was put off by not being able to book online...so now you can, I booked as soon as I could and ventured down the road this evening. I've got nothing but praise for the place, from the calm, attentive service to the amazing wine (order the Cinsault, you won't be disappointed), to the brilliantly cooked food. I'll be back, again, again and again. Cheese course also worthy of a mention! Thank you Hern.

We enjoyed our meal in this quirky and intimate small restaurant . The food was interesting with some unusual combinations of ingredients . The portions were just right for me and I was particularly impressed that they were able to rustle up a vegetarian alternative to the main course at the last minute as the message that I didn't eat meat had somehow got lost on the way . Attentive but not intrusive service . I hope they do well : it's great to be able to have something different and inventive from time to time . Family who are used to southern prices felt the charge for the four courses was very reasonable .

When I booked I had forgot that that my friend was pescatarian. However as there was an optional additional fish course we hoped that this could be substituted for the meat main course. But told that wasn’t possible so she received a rather inadequate none meat course instead. I did let the owner know that we were disappointed by that response and was told that the fish is more expensive than the meat course. The flavours of everything were superb and quite unique.

Great set menu, delicious food, good service, and not bad value compared to other set menus in the city. Natural organic wines really interesting...though I think they should break with the ideology and have some more accessible bottles/wines by the glass.

The service was excellent. The setting very basic but pleasant. There is a set menu but I didn’t like one of the courses and was provided with a fantastic alternative. It was no trouble. Had a really lovely wine which was recommended to me. Each course was explained, which we liked. We thought the potion size was perfectly adequate. Personally, I don’t enjoy feeling stuffed at the end of a meal (maybe my age!!). I usually don’t have room for so many courses and I really enjoyed having so many. For those with bigger appetites, there was the option of adding a fish course and a cheese course. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed it and will go back again. We enjoy supporting local independents. Keep up the great work!

Such a nice little restaurant - love the concept, no food waste. Service and setting both great and wine list is excellent. We’ve been three times now and every time it’s the same issue - ridiculously tiny portions, always leave hungry. Simply not good enough especially as they have increased their prices - which is understandable in the current climate but just dish out reasonable portions! Last time we went all 6 of us had the same complaint. Everything is a 5/5 apart from the portion sizes.

We went here with high hopes but didn’t think the experience matched the reviews so far. The two times we called to book we were told rather abruptly (rudely!) that there were no tables. We thought that was a good sign at least that the food was good. It was generally ok, main meal very small and the service felt rushed - you really do literally have the table for a set time. Whilst the price is ok for the four courses, you inevitable end up buying wine and the best part of 200 pounds later for two people, you’d think the service would be a little better - waitresses didn’t do a great job of pretending to be interested in talking to customers. Black Market food in our view is much better, as is the service. That said, it may have been an off day at Hern as clearly there’s many reviews giving it 5 stars.

Stunning food that lets the ingredients speak for themselves. Whoever is in charge of the menu loves food for what it is, rather than what the trends are, and it shows. The meadowsweet pannacotta with plums poached in wine was one of the nicest desserts I've ever had. Can't wait to return. Edited: returned twice since, and it was equally as stunning. Venison with celeriac and hazelnuts, and rhubarb sorbet with meringue and blood orange cream were highlights of our recent visit. Absolutely love this place.

Delicious food. So tasty and fresh. The meatballs are so succulent, the chicken lovely, non fatty chunks. Tzatziki is very cool and the feta in the Greek salad is so creamy. Delivery is on time and nice delivery people. I once won a free meal in their weekly Facebook page giveaway. I was so excited. Ha.
