OWT in Leeds

This a lovely place to eat - they have a small but delightful menu with delicious food and generous portions, at a great price. Service is excellent and friendly and there's a really good atmosphere - what more could you ask for.

I've loved OWT since the Corn Exchange days, but when wondering where to go before I headed off to Hyde Park Picture House I decided upon here. The chicken is mouth wateringly good and the sides do not disappoint. I dined solo and the ambience was perfect. Plus, the menu changes so although you'll always get the best chicken in Leeds - the way it is served will always be new, innovative but ultimately, delicious!

Amazing food, the chips were to dire for! So crispy and full of flavour. The focaccia was also stunning and the fried chicken was unreal too! We loved this meal and the service and atmosphere were fab. We will definitely be coming back!

First time eating in OWT and it won’t be our last. Just ended up here by chance ( because it used to be the Corner Cafe) with a friend. What a fabulous find. Really lovely food and friendly, helpful staff. We had a lovely time. Highly recommended.

Great food and atmosphere loved the mocktails and wine pairing too. We had the smoked Barrata it was gorgeous as was the home made focaccia bread. The mains - we had fried chicken and lamb they were also great and really generous portions. The dessert of cinnamon bread and butter pudding with berries was also delicious .

What a great evening. The margaritas were fantastic. The food was delicious. Staff were lovely. Atmosphere was everything we’d hoped for and more. Couldn’t fault it. This was our first time at Owt and we will definitely be back next time we are in Leeds.

What an amazing meal we had at OWT and an equally gorgeous bottle of rose wine. We shared small plates of vegan food which was delicious. The vibe was chilled and relaxed and the soundtrack playing was right up my street. Wonderful company, fantastic food and wine…only wished I lived locally but I will definitely be back on my next visit to Leeds.

After being turned away, and not that politely elsewhere with a 'can't you see we're full' Owt, in the new location on Burley Rd was a delight. Absolutely lovely food, friendly service and great music too.

Tapas style plates of very well cooked, good quality/fresh ingredients. Lamb was perfectly cooked, prawns also perfect. I’ll be back. Also chilled out atmosphere.

We have visited Owt from their early days in Leeds market, then the Corn Exchange & now their fab new place on Burley Road & we love their concept & offering. Very welcoming & friendly staff/owner & fantastic chef in the kitchen. We ate here at their new place last night & think they will (again) be very successful. We chose four sharing plates to leave a little room for dessert. All dishes were so flavoursome & well-cooked. The fried chicken was amazing, served with a ranch dressing. The prawns succulent & tasty - even converted my OH who is not such a seafood lover. We ordered two different desserts to share. Left feeling very happy & knowing we will return soon.

We have always loved Owt since they were in the Corn Ex and we’re excited to see what they had done with their new restaurant. It’s so lovely inside and I love how they’ve kept it in theme with the previous restaurant. The food was amazing as always and the gluten free fried chicken noodles were so good I could’ve eaten it again. My friends dishes all tasted so good too, everyone polished their plates. Love the Owt team and the new gaff is so lovely! Well done x

Absolutely delicious food and great service. Will definitely be back! Good ambience and glad it’s so close to us.

Really excellent food and service. Best Sunday roast for a very long time. Wine also excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

We both got the grilled cheese sando and chips with some green sauce. It was amazing would definitely recommend. Loved the green sauce. Probably could have got by with a portion of chips between us as I was stuffed after.

We had the summer small plates menu. All of the food was excellent, with the tuna and the butterbeans really standing out. Owt also has a wonderful atmosphere.

I’ve been to Owt a few times and always been impressed, but the most recent visit blew me away in terms of food quality. I had the burrata with tomato salad and bread and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since! Simple food but done absolutely impeccably. This is becoming one of my favourite lunch spots in Leeds and is well worth a visit.

My friend and I both had Fried chicken noodle salad for lunch.It was presented well & it was delicious.We were so impressed..My friend had a French toast desert with fresh strawberries and cream,which she said was fantastic.The waitress was so pleasant and helpful.

I’ve been meaning to do a review of Owt for ages! My partner and I have been quite a few times over the years, starting when it based in Kirkgate market. We love it, the food is always bang on, fresh and tasty. The French co-owner (I forget your name, I’m sorry!) married to the chef is just lovely, and makes us feel like friends when we visit. I love the way the chef incorporates salsa verde on every menu change, he’s nailed his recipe and it lifts everything up to the next level. My personal favourite is the bhaji ‘burger’ on sour dough, it blows me away how good that is! The last time we were there, the owners were mulling over moving away from leeds to do rising costs etc, but I really hope they stay!if you’re reading this and you haven’t been yet, go now before it’s too late!

Let me tell you somat, I love Owt. Been a few times and always superb food, excellent wine and stupendous hospitality. Great value too

Always the best food, vibes, service and time at Owt. My sister loved her fried tofu baguette and my GF fried chicken ranch salad was incredible. Finally got to try the chicken and it was the best fried chicken in leeds hands down. They have plenty of veggie and vegan options too on their seasonal menus. Always recommend no matter which menu though. Even their drinks selection is top tier. Had some of their amazing wine previously but this time just had a cloudy apple juice which was so nice. Not your averages juices and smoothies! They’re always so fab and lovely, giving the best service too. Obviously the interior is stunning and it’s such a lovely spot to eat even on a boiling summers day! Support your local independents!

I literally cannot fault Owt at all, they are my favourite place to eat in Leeds! The food is delicious and there’s always tons of options for all dietary requirements. The staff are all so friendly and considerate as well as going above and beyond! Would definitely recommend to everyone!

I love owt ! I go once a month to try their new menu and it never disappoints. Top tier service, the girls are so lovely and accommodating !

Came here for a meal with family, they were very accommodating for a walk in of 6 on a Sunday, the food was delicious although small menu everyone was happy. However, the let down for us was the waitress was quite rude, I don’t know if she was having a bad day. She did not ask for any drinks orders and then missed 2 peoples drinks orders by walking away. She also was quite short with us throughout the meal and rolled her eyes at us! Unfortunately this was a let down and would probably reconsider next time as didn’t feel particularly welcome after this.

I love, love, love it here. The dishes are delicious and so thoughtfully put together. James and kitchen team are geniuses. Esther and co are so lovely and friendly. Oh and the wine is very, very good from Esther’s dad’s vineyard. Menu is ever changing but you’ll always find their fabulous fried chicken featured somewhere! Highly recommend

I've been dining at Owt for a couple of years, and it never fails to render me comatose. Which perhaps says something about my lack of impulse control, but damn, I wouldn't be absolutely gorging myself at this place if the food wasn't so exceptional. Last night they accommodated myself and 10 friends for a birthday celebration. We enjoyed wines from co-owner Esther's own family vineyard and then proceeded to bring shame to the human race with our level of gluttony. The fried chicken, mash, and gravy was a crowd pleaser. The arrancine was divine. And my choice of the special: a spicy noodle and mushroom soup, reached Mariana Trench like depths of flavour. Also we had these sweet dill pickles and some more fried chicken on the side and that stuff was dope too. Hey I haven't even said anything about the dessert : it was like some kind of berry and white chocolate bread & butter pudding with vanilla ice cream. It's probably what pushed me over the edge into uncomfortably full levels of self-indulgence, but it was totally delicious and I regret nothing. Consistently amazed at how Owt seems to still be a sort of hidden gem, but I can't see it lasting long because this scran is GOURMET.

Tried triple fried chips and salad w mustard flavour and delicious soup. Not many tables. They give filter coffee on the house which is v sweet.

Great place to meet for lunch, with delicious food and great service. Quite a small menu, and this includes vegetarian options. Will definitely go back.

Owt came highly recommended and we were advised to try the coley or just the hummus and chips. The menu had just changed, so no coley but the food was delicious; fried chicken with a garlicky aioli dip and crisp lettuce. My husband had the...

The menu is simple and straight forward which allows the chef to focus on making everything perfect. We had the chicken salad, croque monsieur and chips. All absolutely amazing! Reasonably priced too, Can't wait to go back.

On a hurried lunchtime visit to LeedsCorn Exchange.I found Owt..Happiness. A Croque Monseueir to remember

Nice poeple, beautiful settings ! Great food (especially the green lettuce). Very helpful waitresses. Five stars from me !

Ordered the green salad and some chips, surprised to just be given a single deconstructed lettuce in a bowl with some dressing drizzled over it. Suggest you rename it to ‘Lettuce’. Otherwise menu very limited.

Late lunch at OWT yesterday, very impresses with both the service & food from a small but impressive menu, Food had fresh taste & texture in abundance washed down with their fabulous rose wine

Went to eat on a Sunday fro brunch with family at OWT on feedback from others. Friendly staff and interesting tasty food. Food changes at different times of the day.

This is the verdict of my 13 year old daughter. It's difficult to explain why she held the airport butties in such high regard. Maybe it was that perfect set of circumstances which inflated her opinion? Try as I might, for years I could not...

Unpretentious and understated. Absolutely beautiful food prepared with love and attention. Lovely friendly service and delicious wine also from the owner’s father’s vineyard. I said to her as I paid “It’s not hard is it?” She replied “Yes it is actually. We know how we...

This is one of my favourite restaurants in the world. Ok, it’s not El Bulli, or a little shack by the beach that does bbq lobster and sunsets but it’s amazing value, great, interesting food and the hospitality is magnifique. The owners are lovely and...

Superb food, and great service. Accommodated our 2 (excitable) children and were very friendly. Highly recommended.

Went for lunch with a friend, very friendly staff, felt at home. Amazing fresh food and refreshing rose. Loved the hashbrowns, so crispy, and all really affordable, will be returning.

Our first time here. The menu is small but changes every two weeks. The food was very tasty, sourced locally & very fresh. The wine is imported from a family run vineyard & worth a try or two 😉 The service was 10/10 My favourite...

Had an exceptional experience in this place! Me and my boyfriend looooved it sooo much! Half of the menu is vegan which is so rare to find these days. You can feel that the food they make is made with love. The atmosphere and service...

We went here yesterday after looking around Leeds trying to find somewhere for breakfast (that wasn't a chain). We found this place just as it opened and thank god we did! The hash browns are something else and the bacon sandwich was the best I've...

Went here back in Feb for a cheese toasty on the way to work. What a treat! It was really great and I was given a complimentary coffee while I waited. Friendly service from all the team. Looking forward to going back in and trying...

A firm favourite of mine whenever in Leeds city centre, food is always amazing and always so exciting and different. New menu each week, meat, fish and veggie/vegan dishes. All locally sourced and prepared in house. The grilled cheese sandwich is amazing! Free coffee and...

Visited Owt on the recommendation of our son. Situated in Kirkgate market in Leeds on the fish stall aisle. Had a coley and mushy pea sandwich. The peas tasted really good, the fish freshly cooked. The noodles with tofu were excellent too. The free cups...

Consistently amazing, week after week. An absolute must try if you’re in Leeds. Super friendly owners and maximum taste. Recent highlights include the fried chicken and arancini!

I had heard good things about this market based eatery and one lunchtime found myself walking past and venturing in. Limited menu but understandable being a small venue with limited seating although the majority were takeaway. Having said that there was ample choice On the...

Highly recommend the bacon and egg breakfast bap, excellent value for £3, look forward to trying their lunchtime food. All foods sourced on the market.

If you can stomach being stuck in a rather pokey spot at the bottom of Fish Row, this place turns out quality, good value food, made from local ingredients, including vegan options.

Had been meaning to go for ages! So not disappointed. In the atmospheric Leeds Kirkgate Market. Love the ethos of using produce from the market for their dishes. My vegan winter tartine was delicious as was the gorgeous ginger cordial. Beautifully presented by lovely friendly...

This was absolutely delicious! Nice staff, nice menu, fresh products direct from the market! I recommand 100%!

We came with my boyfriend for a lunch and it was simply delicious. The staff is super nice, the portions are generous, the menu changes every week and the products come from Kirkgate Market. Special mention to the grilled chesse sandwich, available all day!

Although in theory, a bacon sandwich should be fairly easy to get right more often than not I've ended up disappointed until I happened upon Owt this morning! They've absolutely smashed the bacon sandwich, great bread, great bacon, great egg, and lovely homemade ketchup. Ideal...

Have walked past this little market stall before and noticed the appetising sounding menu. For the first time had lunch there yesterday - friend and I paid £7 each for the autumn tartine and small coffee. We were both delighted with our yummy bowls of...

We have been here a few times for lunch, wish we were nearer so we could come every week. Worth finding it in Kirkgate Market. A tiny place, don't know how they make such delicious, pretty food. Only seats a few people but you can...

The food at Owt is always outstanding. The staff are mega friendly and can never do enough to help you enjoy your food. All the ingredients used are sourced from the market so Owt support the other businesses that surround them too. An amazing place...

The panko chicken was lovely and tasty, seasoned to perfection. The broccoli had a tangy but garlicky flavour that accompanied the chicken well. The quality of the food is amazing and you can definitely tell care and love has been put into the menus. I...

Liked the look of this simple looking menu as we walked round the market and we were not disappointed. The panko chicken and the sea bass mains were freshly cooked to perfection with delicious accompaniments. Fantastic with a bargain price. Highly recommended. Well done!

Well-conceived, well-executed hearty and delicious panko chicken and katsu. Brocolli was perfect, zesty garlicky crunchfest. 11/10. Those brownies.... ridiculous. The whole lunch, just lovely, way better than I deserve!

Best fried chicken I've ever had (and I've had a lot), served with unbelievably creamy Mac and cheese with greens. This place is well on its way to become a Yorkshire institution along with Bundobust and Bettys. Give me another plate of fried thigh over...

Best place i've dined from in Kirkgate by a long way! Delicious peanut chicken, along with fresh, crunchy noodles and veg - superb!

Really cool place. Great food, great service and cheap. Surprised there's not more people raving about it.

I ordered pan fried lamb, which came with salad and three times cooked chips. I have to say it was as good as any food I have eaten in a restaurant and brilliant value for £7. I noticed a number of customers ordered breakfast which...

Unbelievable food and amazing service. Food is such good value for money and the vegan sausage rolls are to die for! Since the menu changes regularly we end up coming every week and haven't had one bad meal. Such a good find!

I'll struggle to find the words to describe the quality of the food at OWT. Tucked away to the side of the main food hall, this place serves fantastic food at reasonable prices. They offer 2 dishes per week, usually 1 meat, 1 vegan, cooked...

Lovely lunch of crispy chicken and duck fat potatoes with lemon thyme and wild garlic, with chestnut chocolate cake rated “the best” by my daughter (hard to please). Nice chat, a pleasure to visit: RECOMMENDED!

My favourite place to eat in Leeds! The food is super tasty and great value. Good for breakfast and lunch. The cakes are delicious too. And to top it off the owners are just lovely :) hope owt stays in Leeds Market for a very...

The wife and I visited on a rainy, miserable Saturday lunchtime in March. Owt is tucked away just up from the food court in Kirkgate Market with room for a couple of handfuls of customers. We were greeted in an extremely friendly manner and, after...

I've been here twice now, and have received excellent service both times. The staff are welcoming, friendly and genuinely enthusiastic about their food and the ingredients they put into it. The vegan sausage roll is fantastic (great pastry and satisfying texture), and the options from...

Decided to try Owt after reading about it in Leeds List, didn't quite know where abouts in the market it was but thought it can't be that hard to find, it was. So if you want to try it, its down the fishmonger aisle at...

Best food in Leeds market. Vegatarian Big Hash (with red pepper ketchup) was incredible and the vegan sausage roll was much better than the Greggs one!
