La Bistro in Leeds

Hard to beat this place, service with a smile and tasty food. Our favorite Italian in Horsforth. Dishes cooked to a high standard, enjoy every mouthful. Well presented and we were looked after throughout, will be back again soon.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend after several visits. I was therefore looking forward to meeting up with two girlfriends. I arrived early and a lovely young man seated me and was extremely polite and friendly. I then heard him being told off by a young female staff member for seating me as ‘ it’s not your job’. I could hear this from across the restaurant and felt embarrassed for the poor lad. And definitely shouldn’t have been said so customers could hear her. I made sure I reassured him as his service was spot on. We sat outside in the end and ordered. My friend asked for another pat of butter for her toast and pate. This took a while. We were asked how the food was - lovely but my friend’s garlic bread was a bit dry- no garlic butter or oil. Just a dry bread that had been infused with garlic. I asked if we could have some garlic butter on top please? The lovely waitress went to ask Chef. The bread was brought back with pure garlic purée squeezed over it like a snail trail. My poor friend was in for a shock if you’ve ever tasted pure garlic purée!! Then after another reminder about the outstanding butter request the waitress then brought a side plate ladened with enough butter to feed the whole restaurant. We laughed as we had clearly upset the Chef. Experience not over !! As the waitress cleared the plates we said we were surprised the Chef had put pure garlic purée on the base making it inedible. This was obviously fed back as he appeared at our table ready for a battle. Apparently we don’t know what garlic bread is !! It doesn’t have garlic butter or oil on it. How dare we complain!! I apologised and said Sainsbury’s/M&S etc have obviously got it wrong too. Not at all what I was expecting at this restaurant. However the waiting staff were lovely and got a big tip. Sadly we won’t be returning

La Bistro, La Beautiful!!!! Visited for the second time and was delicious. Mixed mezze Veg Starter was amazing. Wife had chicken pasta and I had the special board Lasagne. Both meals were amazing, we will definitely return.

Traditional Italian fayre in a pleasant setting and with covered outside dining area. It was a nice day so it was an obvious choice to sit outside in their covered terrace. Unfortunately, there was a large party of people inside who, between each course found it necessary to come outside for a fix, find any spare table to sit at and proceed to belch out copious clouds of dazzling blueberry(?) vape smoke across the entire area. The staff and management didn't seem to care the entire place just stank of vile scented vape. Not a particularly nice experience when your pasta is tainted with the excretions from someone else's lungs. Through the entire meal, starters, mains and even through finishing our wine. Alas the two young female staff were also clueless and aimless. Not an ounce of initiative between them and with faces looking like they were slapped in the kitchen before coming front of house. The misery of having to work was tangible. Nice food but unlikely to revisit.

Lunch on Saturday - Greetings coming in and being shown to our table. Extensive Menu even on the £19.95 deal. Starters of 2x Kiremit Kofte (Meatballs) so tasty, 2x Green Lip Mussels slightly over cooked but still good. Mains of Pollo Aula Boscaiola, Lamb Moussaka, Mixed Skewers, and Seafood Pizza enjoyed by us all. Two of us had to ask for doggie bags! Lovely Resturant can see why it is so popular.

I really cannot fault this fantastic little restaurant. The quality and freshness of the food , the service , the atmosphere and the value for money . It definitely is my favourite .

What a gem. I booked this for our wine tasting evening for 20 people, so helpful and easy to arrange. It was a warm evening and busy for a Monday, lots of customers eating in the outside area, despite this the staff were very attentive to our needs. Our 2 course meal was, the most sumptuous bruschetta or duck & orange pate, followed by prawn linguine or chicken Boscaiola. The Mediterranean vegetable casserole was highly rated by those who had chosen it. Altogether a very successful evening, enhanced by the excellent food and wonderful staff. Thank you. I will recommend this to family and friends and hope to return in the future.

We attended the restaurant as part of a Wine Tasting Group on May 14th. We were greeted warmly by the staff. The table were nicely presented and the food when it came was great. Because we were a group we had a limited choice. Starters were Bruschetta or Pate, both good, mains Chicken or King Prawn Linguini, excellent. There was a vegetarian option. The staff were pleasant and efficient and the restaurant had a nice ambiance. We will certainly return and would recommend it to friends and family.

Visited for a bottomless brunch with friends. Great service and very attentive. Surprised with the quality and quality of food for a bottomless brunch - it was lovely. Drinks were great, big selection of drinks from a variety of wines, spirits, larger and Prosecco. Would recommend.

Absolutely lovely! We had a small wedding lunch there 5 adults and 1 child. We got a warm welcome and our table was ideal. The restaurant is light and airy and very comfortable. The prices are amazing for such great quality food. Everything was fresh and aunthentic. I had a lang casserole and omg it was out of this world! The staff were so friendly and helpful with the menu. This will be a firm favourite for us going forward.

Visited as a family of three. Booked at short notice but we’re really accommodating. Food was lovely, we had the 2 course early dinner offer which I think is great that they do this on a weekend. Service was prompt and attentive, even dealing with our eight year old son’s request for a straw and taking his order from him. Great value … recommended

First visit to this restaurant and we were pleasantly surprised. The venue is modern, authentic and well maintained. The staff were attentive and all very pleasant.

Very good attention, friendly staff, food freshly cooked from good menu, small wine list and bottled beer, would recommend this bistro anytime.

Been a few years since we visited but good to see that the standard remains high. Greeted warmly on arrival and offered a choice of two tables, one by the door or one next to the bar, we chose the latter to avoid any unwelcome drafts on a chilly wet evening. Seated and provided with menus, we chose a bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc whilst we perused the list of dishes available as well as what was presented on the specials board. Meals chosen we opted for duck a'l'orange pate and cheesy peppers to be followed by the swordfish from the specials board and sirloin steak. Orders placed it wasn’t too long a wait before the starters were delivered. The pate was two nice slices coated with a lovely orange gel, accompanied by two slices of toasted bread and side salad. I was told it was very good. My peppers, three in total, were nicely crisp and spicy, which came with a side salad and a small chunk of fresh bread which was used to mop the plate. Both dishes were enjoyed very much. Starter plates removed it wasn’t long to wait before the mains arrived. We could have done with a larger gap in between actually as service was slick and very quick, not that we felt rushed but would have been good to have a larger gap between courses. Anyway, both mains were very well presented. The swordfish came smothered in a rich creamy mushroom sauce, some sliced potatoes and spinach. The sauce was very filling and did outface Sue a little, commenting that maybe it would be better served in a separate jug on the side so that you would be free to have as much or as little as required. The fish was cooked well with skin removed which was a bonus as Sue always finds it a bit of fiddle removing it. My steak was also perfectly cooked and just as requested. Accompanied with chunky chips, a small side salad and a pot of tzatziki. I enjoyed it very much. Complimentary Limoncello rounded off a pleasant evening. Overall then a very enjoyable meal, excellent food and very nice warm and friendly hosts. We didn’t exactly rush with the eating and the whole experience was done in just over an hour. As mentioned, we would have preferred a more leisurely experience but maybe that’s just our taste. Certainly nothing to complain about regarding the quality of fayre provided, it was all excellent and enjoyed very much. Visited 10 Feb 2024

Beautiful food and beautiful atmosphere. Very attentive, friendly staff too. Highly recommended this little Gem. We will see you again soon.

Went due to the great reviews so we were expecting something special. Sadly, whilst the food was good overall there was no “wow” factor. Standard Mediterranean fayre admittedly at a very sensible “early bird” price. There are many other restaurants of this type in the area so probably will not rush back.

An amazing restaurant, my first visit and it certainly won't be my last. The food was delivered quickly, it tasred amazing. The service from staff was so friendly and efficient

We’ve eaten at La Bistro a good 20 or 30 times now, and as the title suggests, it’s our favourite restaurant in Leeds, not just Horsforth. For context, we are a family of four with two young kids, aged 10 and 7 at the time of writing. Given that background, the things we tend to look for in a restaurant are good food, a nice environment, solid service, consistency and a tendency to cater well for kids (and for me, that’s not simply about having a kids menu; I’ll come back to that later). La Bistro ticks every single box, every single time. First and foremost, the food here is fantastic. For all of us. Personally, I’m a lover of Mediterranean food, though as much as I do try to mix things up, I struggle to get past the meat platter; it’s delicious. The menu leads with a selection of Turkish dishes, everything from hot and cold mezes to Ottoman style seafood, and this is my personal favourite section of the menu. But there’s a lot more on offer beyond that, including a wide choice of pizzas and pastas, steaks, burgers, plus a smattering of Greek favourites like stifado and moussaka. For this reason, it’s always been a go-to whenever we’ve been looking for somewhere for a big family group. We’ve had tables of around 20 adults and children, some fussier than others, and everyone has gone away happy and full. There is something for everyone, even those with certain food intolerances. Kids can choose from a smaller portion of any pizza or pasta (they’re still generous, btw!), or a selection of other options like chicken nuggets. One final word on the food, the early bird deal (which runs from Sunday to Friday until 5pm, I think!), offers two courses for something like £19 is fantastic value. Whilst I’m partial to a calamari starter, my wife loves the desserts! There’s a good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. From a personal point of view, I prefer a draft beer as opposed to bottled, however the 500ml bottles of “Efes Draft” are the next best thing. The restaurant itself is modest in size and has a modern, cozy feel. Though the restaurant isn’t massive, there’s ample space between tables, and you don’t feel like you are a top of one another. It’s a nice, relaxing place to be, even when the place is busy. As good as the food is (and it truly is brilliant), what makes this place is the staff. To a person, they are absolutely fantastic. Welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive. Again, no matter how busy it is. Our young daughter gets on like a house on fire with the owner, who is brilliant with both of our kids. Some time ago, my daughter drew a little sketch of him while at the table; to this day, that picture remains pinned on the wall at the back of the restaurant. Just a lovely touch, that delights our little girl every time we go back. Whenever the kids’ birthdays come around, La Bistro is always the place they ask to go. Not TGIs, not Nando’s, not Five Guys. That in itself speaks volumes, for me. A visit to La Bistro is like a warm hug from family. Every single time, bar none, we’ve walked away having thoroughly enjoyed not just the food, but the whole experience. It is consistently excellent. It’s what eating out as a family should be all about.

Fabulous food and service! The chicken asparagus is to die for!! Will definitely be returning. The wines are damn good too.

Easily worth five stars, lovely welcome, great atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. The menu is very varied with a Mediterranean theme, nice to have something different to choose from. We were a party of four, all ordered different starters and mains and all were excellent. Our starters were deep fried calamari, pan fried gamberoni, meat balls in tomato sauce and cheesy pizza bread, all very tasty. For mains we had chicken with aubergine and goats cheese in a tomato sauce, chicken skewers with dips and sea bass fillets stuffed with spinach and feta, all excellent. Prices are reasonable as are their wines, we had a Chilean Sauvignon which was good quality. Would definitely recommend a visit, they made us feel very welcome and we will definitely return.

Good food, well presented, hot very tasty and good value. Good vegetarian options.Great service, we were well looked after by people who cared.

One of our favourite restaurants and often chosen for a family celebration. Held our daughter’s baby shower here…….lunch for a large group. Wonderful service and attention. Delicious food as usual. Allowed us to put up decorations and have a table set aside for presents and cakes. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you so much to all the staff.

Another lovely meal at our favourite restaurant. This place has never let us down. Gorgeous food (pasta alfredo is delicious) friendly staff and a cosy atmosphere. Everything we needed for a family meal out.

Whatever time you visit, the value is in the early bird menu… two courses for £18.95 all day Sunday to Thursday… good selection of dishes from starters to mains. There is a daily specials board too… I!recommend having the mussels starter and la bistro mixed meat platter… there’s a supplement for certain main dishes due to the cost but when you consider the mussels are £8.95…. Paying a £2 supplement isn’t too bad especially when the mixed meat platter is £19.95 a la carte… great atmosphere and good service, I’d advise you to book as it is a busy restaurant which doesn’t surprise swing as the food and service is fab.. thumbs up 👍

We visited as a bit of an impromptu date night, really glad I called up a few hours before to get a table because this place gets busy - and rightly so. The manger was absolutely lovely, got us sat at our table straight away. I had a lovely glass of wine, recommend the Zinfandel. We got our 2 course on the Sunday - Thursday deal. I had halloumi to start which was perfectly cooked. I then highly recommend the salmon for mains, the sauce that it came in was to die for. All the food was of a fantastic quality, the restaurant was clean and the staff were very attentive. I will definitely be returning here, a new favourite!

Eaten here many times but today the food and service were amazing. We had the bottomless brunch which is amazing value! The chicken skewers were beautiful and the friendly staff really attentive. Highly recommend and looking forward to coming back.

So we had a lovely family meal tonight. The food and service exceptional as always. Could not have falted anything. We will be back soon.

We arrived as a family of four yesterday for some dinner as a last minute stop. Even though we hadn't reserved a table, we were seated outside in the awning, which was a very cosy and lovely spot. Fresh flowers underneath a nice canopy with atmospheric lighting, coupled with a nice outdoor temperature meant it was very relaxing. The staff were lovely and attentive. We ordered starters, mains and dessert and each one was delicious. I had the pollo asparagi and even though I was full, I couldn't leave it, it was so nice. My husband had the one which had the selection of different meats (I can't remember the name of it now but he was really happy with it), and our children went for the pepperoni pizzas, which looked freshly made and delicious. We came away from the restaurant feeling relaxed, full of good food and content. And that's all you want from a lovely meal out. We will definitely be back.

Most definitely recommend this place. We went for a friends birthday meal yesterday. Food was amazing and such a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Couldn’t ask for more

Father's day treat and la bistro delivered as usual a lovely meal ..very enjoyable. All stuffed ...and 2 lemon cello to wash down that fantastic meal ...

We popped in for a spontaneous meal midweek. Been plenty of times to this lovely place but haven’t been for ages. We sat outside in the lovely little terrace on the front.

Delicious outstanding food staff are very friendly. Food arrived hot and on time our meals was delicious I’d highly recommend 10/10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Sometimes only a steak will do but worried about doing so by takeaway. Need not have worried as the quality has convinced us to visit this restaurant in person as soon as circumstances permit. Only slight issue - possibly due to Just Eats website with whom I have raised the issue - that no option on website to specify rare/medium/well done so that had to phone restaurant to solve this. Any way both our medium and well done steaks were cooked excellently and packaged to keep warm and not even need plates! Look forward to visiting for another steak in May!

We ordered a delivery from La Bistro at short notice. Food arrived 15 mins earlier than they said, which was great. I've eaten there many times before and it has always been great and the takeway delivery was very nearly as good as in the restaurant. Tasty, authentic and really hot. Obviously you can't create the restaurant vibe at home but it was as close to the real thing as you can get.

I ordered food from here for my birthday this evening. Food arrived quickly, they took note of my requests, Food was spot on, the garlic bread was amazing delievery guy was friendly, will order again and recommend. Thanks la bistro look forward to visiting after lockdown x

Ordered: chicken and asparagus, margarita pizza and lamb skewers.Chicken was touch, pretty bland and the sauce was watery. They were generous with the asparagus in that the stringy part of the stalks were included. The menu stated the'dish' was served with chunky chips. I was given five, yes 5 greasy chips. Pizza - was undercooked meaning the base was doughy and the cheese was barely cooked and topped off with too much overpowering basil.Lamb kebabs - meat was tough, can't really go wrong with rice and a side of lettuce (i think), cucumber and tomatoes.Portions were small and the whole meal was very unsatisfying.

My sister and I came here last night for her birthday meal. From the second we walked in to the minute we left we had first class service. The owner made himself known and the staff were so attentive. We had the door opened for us on our way in and way out. The food came so quickly but with a nice space in between the starter and main. We had to time slot to be out but we wasn’t rushed or pestered, we went over slightly and they were not bothered in the slightest. They actually brought my sister out a cake and sang to her which was brilliant! The restaurants decor was so homely and classy, lovely quotes around the place. It gives you such a warm feeling, social distancing in full place but not over powering and very very clean. I had the pollo Alla Boscaiola for my main and WOW, probably the NICEST chicken I have tried in my life!! I never expected it to taste so amazing. Very generous with their portion size but not over facing. You can just tell the staff are happy and based on the owner I understand why. 2 of the staff were young and their customer service skills were out of this world. Thankyou for an amazing meal, you have certainly made my standards higher when eating out and I will certainly be placing a delivery throughout lockdown. Credit to you all!!!! The starters below was king prawn and cheesy peppers. Again they tasted sensational!

Food good and good portions. Some confusion over price of specials Staff very attentive. Busy atmosphere. Let down was lack of enforcement of Covid rules. People not challenged walking through restaurant to the toilet without a mask.

We had yet another fantastic meal at La Bistro, really enjoy the environment the food is 1st class, very reasonably priced and the waiting team are great too. Looking forward to revisiting.

Had another gorgeous meal yesterday at La Bistro, it is without doubt our favourite place to eat in Horsforth, especially as a family. My teenage boys would choose here as a first choice everytime! The food never disappoints, the atmosphere is always lovely & relaxed, the staff are very attentive and the owner always makes us feel very welcome, like part of the family. Can’t recommend this little gem enough, especially at this unprecedented time, they must need everyone’s loyalty & support more than ever.

We called in today for a birthday celebration. Its one of our regular venues particularly when it's a special occasion and once again this lovely restaurant really hit the mark. The menu is one of those where you are really spoilt for choice, so we try to make a different choice on each visit. Starters of falafel and cheesy peppers came with a dip and nice salad garnish. The king prawn with chilli linguine and house burger were top notch, the latter being our favourite and consistently well prepared menu item when we visit La Bistro. Service was once again efficient and friendly. This is one of those places to head for during these uncertain times. Give it a try even if it's to "suffer" the birthday candle in the ice cream!

Where do I start... came here with my partner this evening and we ordered a two course meal each. The starter was good. However, the main I ordered a burger and it was very average to say the least. I am never one to complain but for the price and quality I was disappointed. I raised this with the manager and they passed it onto the owner. This is where it got uncomfortable. The owner began to get aggressive and made the evening very uncomfortable for me and my partner, just because we thought the quality of the food was poor. He made us feel like we didn't know what we was talking about and that we was wrong for accusing his burger was not up to standard as he mentioned he gets it from the best butcher or something. Never have I ever encountered anything like this before. While we was happy the burger was taken off the bill (as it should of been). We was appalled by the confrontation and in all fairness it ruined the night for us both as we was embarrassed by not only the awkwardness but the lack of respect. It was a shame really as we enjoyed the starter and we happily shared this with the owner.

Hemos visitado la bistro con poca frecuencia durante varios años. Durante el brote de Covid intensificamos esto y tuvimos nuestro obsequio familiar semanal "comida para llevar a la bistro". Tuvimos un par de meses de descanso y esta noche tuvimos una comida para llevar. Lo disfruté tanto que me siento obligado a revisarlo. La comida siempre está muy caliente, bien preparada y muy sabrosa con porciones de buen tamaño que son de un buen nivel. Las comidas para niños también tienen una excelente relación calidad-precio.Muchas gracias La bistro por lo único que nuestra familia esperaba cada semana en el encierro. Las buenas empresas locales como la suya merecen el intercambio. Visita la bistro, no te decepcionará.

Servicio de 5 estrellas, la comida era increíble y el personal era profesional y amable. Me sentí muy seguro en estos tiempos extraños de Covid, seguramente volveremos. Enhorabuena, La Bistro y todo su personal han sabido adaptarse a las circunstancias actuales sin perder el ambiente de las comidas en un restaurante. . . . . gracias

Fui a darme un regalo para el cumpleaños de mis nietos. Todos nos sentimos seguros con el personal que se aseguró de que se siguieran todas las regulaciones de Covid para que no afectara nuestra noche en lo más mínimo. El servicio fue excelente y la comida deliciosa y de muy alto nivel. Definitivamente vendrá de nuevo

Amazing quality food, friendly staff, overall excellent atmosphere. Really enjoyed my experience here, we will definitely be coming again!

Hemos visitado La Bistro muchas veces en pareja y en familia. Nunca hemos tenido una mala experiencia, el servicio y la comida siempre son increíbles.A nuestros niños también les encanta estar aquí y el personal siempre hace un escándalo por ellos. Nuestro hijo dice que la pizza calzone es la mejor que ha probado y que si vamos a cualquier otro lugar para comer, ¡siempre compara su pizza con La Bistro! Sigan con el buen trabajo chicos.

Tried this place through recommendation. After couple of hours in there all I can say is tasty food, efficient service ,nice ambience. Will be back again .

Fui el domingo después de las recomendaciones, como un regalo para mi cumpleaños. Los entrantes promedio fueron seguidos por pollo muy duro, como pollo congelado barato, que tuvo que ser devuelto y vuelto a hacer. Esto resultó en que comiéramos nuestra comida en diferentes momentos, lo que no es ideal cuando sales con tu pareja. Mi pizza era bastante buena para ser justos. Cuando llegó la factura, no hubo disculpas por la inepta ofrenda. La factura de 55 se pagó con 3 20 notas y adivinen qué es lo que no obtienes en este restaurante. Esfuerzo muy pobre.

Muy decepcionado mientras viajamos a través de Leeds para una noche rara. Comida ordinaria. Bebidas limitadas. El servicio era bastante intrusivo con demasiado contacto en la mesa y el personal se movía de un lado a otro detrás de los comensales (sin ninguna razón).Nos sentamos, nos sirvieron y pasamos 2 platos en 40 minutos, lo cual no es ningún tipo de experiencia. Probablemente estoy más decepcionado por las críticas sobresalientes aquí que no puedo comprender, y seguramente debe haber mejores restaurantes en Horsforth.

Wonderful food (as always) - arrived piping hot at the time they said it would (30 mins after I phoned). Flawless - I will definitely use their delivery service again.

Been La Bristo many times, never had a bad experience. Always excellent food and service, cant wait for my next visit!

We had two takeaways from here during lockdown. Both were lovely and a great escape from the monotony of being confined to home cooking!

The only words to describe this place are "absolutely amazing food and a very comfortable, friendly restaurant" definitely recommend!!!
