No 14 North Lane Restaurant & Bar in Leeds

Outstanding food and service, can’t wait to go back 😋

Our party of four had a fabulous meal with impeccable service in a lovely dining room. Every part of the meal was divine, and the staff were prompt, courteous and attentive. Each course was sublime -- starters, wine, mains, desserts and brandy. Easily our best meal in the UK, and we had some fine dinners this week in London before driving to Leeds today. Absolutely worth every penny.

Not even finished the meal and need to give 5 stars, best steak of all time

Upmarket restaurant with excellent chef. Open Wednesday to Saturday. Necessary to book. Limited number of covers.

Outstanding meal - the scallops were perfect - best meak I’ve had in

Amazing restaurant… food was excellent and service was spot on 👍 can’t wait to come back.

Excellent service and food, will definitely go back.

This place reminds me of the house in the film the holiday, is so cosy and beautiful. The food is some of the best Iv ever eaten. The staff are attentive, and so friendly. It’s an absolute must try. You truly will not be disappointed. The wine selection is also amazing. I wish I could give 10 stars ⭐️

A favourite place, with a chic interior!

Been twice now, after a recommendation. Food, atmosphere, staff all brilliant... really friendly owner, always there front of house. Had lamb first visit, & pan fried calves liver this time. Exquisite on both occasions with good wine choice too. Hoping to have room for dessert next time!!!

Excellent. Every time. A must try

Most excellent find, food and service was unbelievable. Made our weekend. Will make this a must do on every visit to Leeds.

Just left now, it was the most amazing place, small & cosy but the food & management was no1 Husband wanted to try something different, devilled kidneys to die for Prawn & crayfish for me mmmmmm Rib eye just melted in the mouth Confit duck fell off the bone Staff were amazing, couldn’t do enough, can’t wait to go back , leaving starter out so I can fit in a pudding

Amazing food. Really friendly and helpful staff. Great atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Would highly recommend.

Waw what an Experience. The food was cooked to perfection. The staff are absolutely amazing. My first visit, it won’t be my last. Highly recommend

Was passing and the restaurant looked lovely. Food and service were fantastic. We both had the lamb and it was so tender and so tasty. The Shiraz was lovely. Highly recommended.

Went in yesterday with the kids, “can I have two fish and chips and one jumbo sausage on its own, the kids can share the chips “ …… came home with one fish and chips and two sausage and chips …And because of how stressed out the Irish lad is behind the counter I’d be two afraid to go back in case he blame me for cooking the wrong order. Also the batter was barely cooked, it was just a mess…… for such a famous place they don’t half struggle at lunch times it seems…..also just because this is the second time I’ve been served by the lad, I’ve never felt so guilty as when I walk into the shop and he’s serving, like I’m putting the man out by ordering food, there’s no smile, no welcome, no pleasantries, it’s an uncomfortable place to get food … and it’s a shame as I live round the corner and would rather and do drive up to the fish shop at upper Headingley rather than here….

Excellent service and atmosphere would recommend this restaurant to family and friends

I was visiting my son at Leeds university and came here for a family lunch, upon entering the restaurant we received a very frosty and disdainful welcome, I can only assume that he the restaurant manager. Such a shame because the wonderful food and menu was ruined by this man’s lack of general and basic courtesy. It was my daughters suggestion to leave because of this mans attitude and unfortunately, I was in full agreement of her. Shame the experience was ruined by one man’s lack of manners.

Fantastic little place. Great set up and beautiful food.

Excellent evening. Very good food and wine.

Fantastic food service just wonderful we will be back great little restaurant

Came last night and also came about 12 months previously. Great food and very attentive service.

Intimate setting, excellent and personal service, brilliant food. Perfect for a special occasion.

Lovely peaceful drink with a warm welcome.

Food and wine top quality, matched only by the very pleasant service. Great place.

Lovely meal, Fresh Whitby Crab starter. Lamb and Duck both cooked perfectly. Enjoyed the recommended wine. Host was excellent and very friendly. Venue was great, nice outdoor area. Will be back.

Exceeded expectations, a must try

Fantastic food and service. Cant wait to go again

Food was fantastic and the staff we're excellent, especially Shaun. Superb service with comfortable, intimate surroundings. Perfect for a romantic dinner.

Very friendly and cheerful. And the food wasn't half bad either.

Great menu great service excellent venue. Would highly recommend and definitely visit again

I've never had a bad portion of fish and chips from bretts and I've been going once a week for at least two years..reccomend....

Great little restaurant in Headingley. We had the fish and chips which were excellent and great value. The staff were friendly and attentive and there's a lovely little bar there too. We'll be going back.

Best fish and chips in Headingley

Nice cosy restaurant ,great for fish & chips but much much more.

Great food freshly cooked, highly recommend the guy who served us was really polite and friendly too! Will be back!

Lovely quiet restaurant great food particularly the fish great wines well chosen, great wine of the werk

Only had takeaway and nothing special

I had some friends visiting from abroad and they wanted to sample a good British Fish and Chips. So I naturally thought about taking them to Bretts, since I've been coming for over 13 years. Normally I just use the take away from the side, but this time I thought I'd take them to the restaurant. I wish I didn't now. As soon as we walked though the door, I felt very uncomfortable. The gentleman (who I can only assume is the manager) obviously didn't want us to be there. We felt very rushed, I mean you could call it 'efficient' but we were served so fast we didn't a chance to settle down first. Everytime I said thank you that he did something, like taken the plates, not even a 'no problem' or 'your welcome' or a 'thank you back'. I've never felt such distain from someone serving us. The food was still however excellent, and despite the service, my friends said "it was the best fish and chips they ever had and now they are spoilt and would be able to enjoy fish and chips anywhere else. What really confirmed that it was just us that he didn't like, was when another couple came in shirt and tied, he was more entertaining and even laughed. Even the girls serving us were better mannered than he was. I'm really sorry Bretts that you have such a person working for you. I'm both dissapointed of the service and embarrassed that I took my friends. I'm sure if he was to read this he would be delighted to hear that i will not be taking myself or any of my friends to the restaurants in the future. To any one wanting to go. I would recommend using the takeaway part around the side.

Decent fish and chips, a bit pricey

Lovely in side. Food was excellent and service had a nice time with my family

Lovely place for a meal, great atmosphere and friendly staff! Some of the tastiest food I've tried, will be visiting again!

Friendly service, brilliant food, cheap prices and a nice seating area out front in the sun.

Very nice. Best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Really light tasty batter and perfectly cooked flaky fish. Good friendly service too.

First thing that needs mentioning is that this restaurant has recently changed hands and has a completely new menu and management in place. But don't let that put you off. The food was truly outstanding. We were made to feel so welcomed and was treated like Queens (Corny, I know but so true) We will definitely be back.

This amazing restaurant is under new management and is out of this world

Absolutely first class food. You will not be disappointed. You would be wasting your hard earned money going anywhere else.

Lovely interior and lovely staff x

What a gem of a place! The food is just delicious, the service was impeccable. A small place but nice layout and finishing. Highly recommended, if attending a cricket game, booking advisable.

Don't know about the fish & Chips but they are really bad bout getting back with information.

Good choice of food and great service. The fish and chips are lovely.

Best fish & chips in Leeds staff always friendly & helpful

Top notch fish and chips! Lovely crispy but soft batter. Chunky and well cooked chips. And some perfect mushy peas to top it all off. I would definitely recommend!

Not as good as it used to be to be honest...but still nice enough.

Nice but probably the smallest portion of fish and chips I've ever had

Cracking fish and chip restaurant. Great service and good for a take-out too!

Great chippy, but it can take a while to get served when it's busy.

Top notch fish and chip shop - take away or eat in

Wonderful little restaurant with fantastic service and incredible food. A leeds institution in the heart of headingley. Give this a go! 5 *

takeaway= Best fish and chips ever

Fabulous Yorkshire fish and chips. Excellent service too. Highly recommended.

Charlie Bretts has most definitely changed for the better. The dated, shabby interior has been replaced by a vibrant, welcoming and well-designed dining area. Their trademark fish & chips are still on the menu, but there is so much more to choose from now - something for everyone. The location is also brilliant - I strongly recommend taking advantage of the garden on a warm Summers day!

Best fish and chips in Leeds. Ignore others comments comparing with the local take outs - ridiculous! Old fashioned Yorkshire fish & chips at its best.

If I could give zero stars for a rating I would but then my review wouldn't appear. The take away side is convenient in Headingly when out late but to be fair you might as well make the walk to anyone of the billion other take away places that aren't that far away in hyde park or even closer the ones down the road by the spar, which are open later and most offer more choice. Anywhere else is also more affordable and a lil bit more value for money. Eg meal deals for one. The restaurant side isn't anything to shout about as well. Very dark, nothing interesting and has about as much atmosphere as a funeral (and considering the age of some of the patrons it looks like a funeral could happen sooner than you think with some of them). I also used to pop in on a mate that had the misfortune to work there once as well. The owner (some irish lady is the only distinguishing thing I can remember about her) treats her staff like something she's scrapped of her shoe so it's understandable why many of the employees don't have a grin on their face or add much to the atmosphere. Plus to top it all of after hearing a few stories about the amount of rats around the back and the owner of the building turning up drunk at night demanding chips and making a state of the place. It's kind of left me not to keen on getting food there unless I'm bordering on starvation. Even then I'd probably hesitate.
