The Little Monk in Leeds

Sad this place is going. Owners were great, and the atmosphere was nice. Wish them the best.

Great beers, bottle menu, excellent food, table service, nice vibe.

Smashing little place, great brews and good food! Customer service was excellent couldn't fault it... but we were told it is closing to become a French brasserie? Shame

Best variety of German beers in Leeds. Sad that you're closing :(

Had a lovely few beers - great selection. Nice to have table service. Didn’t have food this time, but the menu looks great, so we’ll be back.

Lovely friendly staff, very cosy and welcoming bar. A must if you enjoy Belgian and German beers.

Good beers and a devilish quiz!

Best place for a beer in Horsforth, food is also really good German sausages 👌

Called in for few beers & food, quality on both.... Staff knowledgeable & great service

Staff were absolutely great, price of food was totally worth it. We will definitely be going again!

Lovely little bar in the centre of horsforth. Greeted at the door and made to feel very welcome, even with the children! Huge selection of beers, including a fair few alcohol free options and a varied menu too. Quiet when we visited. Horsforth doesn't seem to have recovered from lockdown yet.

Great beers. Some very interesting bottles and knowledgeable staff.

Love this place. If you lovely Belgian beer and good food this is the place for you. Also you get 20% off bottles to take away.

I visited twice recently, once for a few beers with a friend, the other for date night with my wife. On both occasions, a Tuesday and a Saturday, the place was full, the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant, and the beers excellent and reasonably priced. A wide range of (I think) German beers on tap and in bottles. The food (again German vines) included lots of meat heavy dishes which were flavourful and satisfying. There were also vegetarian options that looked (nearly) as good to this carnivore. I will be back here time and again. Highly recommended.

The more I drink, The more I think, That drinking is good for me.

We came here twice this week with our in-laws and loved it! Beer selection is fab of course but they did well on recommending something for every palette and there is a great low alcohol range too! On our second visit we tried the food and really enjoy the bratwurst and pitmaster plates. Great portions. I recommend the beans as a side! The game selection is great too (ask the staff for the secret stash if there isn't anything out on display you like - they keep some back to avoid kiddies breaking them!). Lovely atmosphere both Sunday and Wednesday evening. We'll be back!

Fantastic staff and lovely food. The selection of drinks are great and the servers are so friendly and fun (definitely take them up on their recommendations!) We had the Bratwurst and Pit Master dishes and the portion sizes are large! Great value for money and super tasty. Highly recommend

Food and atmosphere are good. Service is excellent from really knowledgeable guys who really know their stuff and are willing to chat and help you find something you like. Beer selection is fantastic. A real gem at the heart of Horsforth.

Our favourite place in Leeds. It's inviting, comfortable, and exciting to try the vast amount of different beers on offer, with every beer described by flavour so you have a good idea of what you're getting. Staff are excellent, fun to be around and very knowledgable, always able to recommend a perfect beer depending on what mood you're in. We've been going regularly for nearly a year now, and have enjoyed every second. Highly recommend, this place is a hidden gem.

Nice place with a good selection of drinks, aswell as a fridge full of bottled beers. We went in on a Thursday evening, for anyone that might go at that same time, try book a table in advance. A good 3/4 of the tables were reserved for the quiz that they were doing that evening. There's a couple tables upstairs, but it looks like there could be a few more tables fitted into the space.

Staff are friendly and attentive. The selection of beers is good and they have a large low/no alcohol collection. The food sounded good on paper but unfortunately we found it dry, too salty and fatty and lacking in flavour. The pit beans were good but the rest wasn't great. We had gone for the sharing plate of different meats with assorted sides. The 'smoked Mac and cheese' had no smokiness or flavour, the coleslaw was too creamy, chips were okay. The meats were dreadful- no flavour at all and very dry- felt like they'd been left to sit under a heat lamp for the entire day. The flat bread that came with the sharing plate was nice. Perhaps the burgers are better...might be worth a gamble but when there are other great pubs out there already selling decent beer and burgers I'll be giving that gamble a miss.

Fantastic selection of Belgium and German beers, and really good food highly recommend.

Nice place with a connecting restaurant

wine is very expensive. Happy hour for beer is OK. Decor is a bit sparce. Not very inspiring. Owner wearing shorts and plimsolls not a good look.

Nice range of bottled beers and fabulous service from Evie, Casey and Ella.

We’ve visited The Little Monk quite a few times now and this is the place to go for anyone who loves their continental beers. They really do know their stuff and the choices are endless. The food is also really good! We tried the Kreuzberg kebab which I can definitely recommend. Really fresh and came with 4 different sauces. I’ll be back again very soon!

Relax modern vibe with a well knowledged owner, hidden gem👍

Great bar/kitchen. Friendly team and great drinks selection. A good variety of beers.

Great beer, great food (rolling variety)! Highly recommended 👌🏽

What a cute place. The staff were all really nice, informative with dietary restrictions and what menu options I could have. The food was lovely and the restaurant was warm and inviting. I’d recommend this place.

We had a lovely meal at the Little Monk on Friday, in the snow and ice it was so cosy inside! We had a mixed starter, pad Thai and beef massaman. Really tasty, hot and fresh, the massaman felt authentic, full of whole spices. Then we finished with mango sticky rice to share, lovely! I will say I think the Fritz Kola advertised was just post-mix cola, not a big deal though. Really good Thai food at a reasonable price, and lovely service. Thanks Little Monk! 😊

Very nice food, reasonable prices, very friendly staff.

Brilliant atmosphere. Great live music. Excellent food and service. Will certainly go again.

Great welcome friendly staff, delicious food

Drinks⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing food and drink selection, definitely recommend going whilst they have the Thai Quarter there. The atmosphere was also amazing due to the fact they didn't have music on loud allowing you to converse with the person/people you have gone with without feeling the need to shout to be heard. Staff were fast with service too. Will definitely be going again for food and drinks at a later date.

Great find, excellent beer selection. It's definitely worth a visit!

First class selection of reasonably priced drinks and excellent service. Next time we will try the food.

Difficult to judge as it the Light switch on so very busy. Have a good selection of beer's and wine. Very helpful staff and we were served quickly.

Fab food, fab location and fab staff.

Absolutely amazing place, with a great range of beers, lovely staff and owners. Love the new guest kitchen 'Thai Quarter' it is so tasty, I highly recommend, especially the mixed starter. We will definitely be coming here often!!

Interesting variations on classic Belgian dishes. Several options on the menu were unavailable. Wide selection of bottled beers, alongside small range of draught beers.

Food was nice and the choice of beers was extensive

Wonderful addition, great selection of beers with good knowledge from the staff. Haven't tried the food but have heard good things. Always busy here, has become very popular.

I had the meatballs with mushroom sauce which was absolutely delicious. The beers available, both alcoholic and non alcoholic, are fantastic. Such a massive interesting range, I think this might be our new favourite place in Horsforth!

Been here during both cold winter nights and intense summer heatwaves, and it is a lovely place to warm up/cool down. Always an astoundingly wide selection of beers to suit nearly all tastes, as well as an impressive food menu. Feels like a real escape to a modern pub in the continent. The table service is efficient, and I would recommend this place if you're with a group of friends, or perhaps on a date, a lovely place to socialise with a relaxing atmosphere. Playlist is top quality as well.

Well where do I start with all my praise. We normally go into Leeds to eat and drink on a Saturday afternoon but for various reasons decided to stay local so we plumped for the little monk. Now my son and I know our craft beers but we're blown away by the choice they had there was something for everyone beers wine etc etc. Now for the food I normally have something to not really complain about but that is annoying is when you go to a food venue and you may have a great starter or main and say the chips let it down or the chips are great and the main is not you get my drift well there were 3 of us and we had different meals and each one was absolutely perfect I could not fault a thing even the owner was really pleasant and attentive but in no way overbearing This place is my new favourite place and I can't wait to go again so guys get yourself down and support a fantastic local business

Had a fantastic evening. Food was lovely and great portion sizes. Staff were so friendly giving history of the different beers. Will definitely be going back soon.

We had a bottomless brunch for my friend’s birthday and it was faultless. Really friendly staff, an imaginative menu that was actually filling and a good selection of drinks. The staff mentioned they don’t do many bottomless brunches and I can’t imagine why. It was great! I highly recommend giving them a visit whether it’s for a bottomless, a few quiet drinks or a meal out 😊

Went for my first bottomless for my friends birthday, was really good service, friendly staff, the food and drinks were faultless! Would highly recommend to others!

Bottomless brunch is such good value for money!! Thanks so much!!

Best bottomless brunch I've had

The Little Monk is one of the best bars for Beer you can visit in the City of Leeds. Thomas, the owner, is super knowledgeable of beer so is fantastic for recommendations if you are undecided. There's plenty of options on tap, all of which never fail to disappoint, whilst having so many more options in the fridge. There are house draught options, whilst the other taps rotate frequently, which is great. I'd recommend the St-Feuillien Five on draught during the hot summer days. It's served in (I think) two-thirds of a pint, so your beer stays fresh throughout the whole drink, and it really hits the spot. The bar is also perfect for playing board games with your friends, and there's plenty to choose from. 5/5 - always.

A really good small bar with a beer range in inverse proportion to its size. It specialises in Belgian and German beers, with British, American and French also featuring. The cheese and meat platter was excellent, albeit a bit pricey. V helpful and pleasant owner.

We had a lovely lunch. Great range of beers and really enjoyed our food. Also great to see food allergies covered with nice alternatives. Keep up the awesome work, can't wait to return 👍

Great food and great selection of beers. Staff were knowledge and friendly. Would definitely recommend

Great place with an amazing selection of German and Dutch beers. Excellent food and very knowledgeable host well worth a visit

Good place to meet with friends and have a mixer of drinks , lovely place to go .

Delicious and delectable! The building had a great atmosphere, and staff were attentive to us despite it being so busy. Our food was scrumptious - or, to use the language of the land of Leeds, 'dank' - and we will definitely be going here again.

Cosy spot with a great variety of beers. Wish upstairs was open to sit!

Wonderful staff, excellent Beer and Coffee. Definately be going again

Massive selection of drinks, and the staff are very helpful to guide you through the options. Was very impressed with the Vegan options that are available on both the food and drinks menu (again the staff know their stuff and helped guide us through the options).

Brilliant service! Brilliant drinks selection! Brilliant food! If you haven't been yet.....GO! Well worth it.....not the cheapest, but worth every pence!! Highly recommended! BRILLIANT!!!

Fantastic pub with amazing selection of beers, tasty food and great service. Menu features a selection of small and large plates perfectly geared up to accompany the wide range of Belgian and local beers. Nice addition to town street!

High quality food, high quality beer We're lucky to have something like this in horsforth

I really like it here - nice choice of fruity beers, really nice staff, the food is lovely, and the vegan bratwursts are the best I’ve ever tasted :-)

Went there for my birthday and really enjoyed it here. The food was great, the beer selection is phenomenal and the staff were absolutely lovely. I'll 100% be going back!!

A German themed bar/restaurant, the last thing I expected in a converted Pizza Express on Horsforth Town street! Fantastic choice of beers and hopefully next time I visit will be able to try the food which sounds amazing!

Favourite for food and beer in Horsforth

Somewhat surprised to find this little gem in Horsforth. Solid selection of Belgian and German beers. Very knowledgeable owner/manager Thomas who gave us some great recommendations on beers to taste (after asking whether I was driving or not - which I was not thankfully as some of the beers have a good kick) and a genuinely interesting and friendly guy to chat with. Had a few appetizers which were also very good (e.g., the mushroom croque and Yorkshirewurst). They have been open for about a year and hopefully their business will grow well. All in all a great addition to the pizza places and pubs in Horsforth. Will certainly go back when next up.

First class beer, food & service 👍

Good variety of beers, good food

Food is good. But to be honest my fav beer is fruity dry Belgium beers, so my focus was on these. Great service, food and beers

Wow! What an amazing experience! The best Sunday roast in Leeds! Impeccable food and a sterling level of service provided by the team at The Little Monk!

Good variety of excellent beers and nice sharing plates. I recommend it

Excellent beer selection. Great food massive schnitzel. Wonderful service. Thank you!

Tasty food, had this week’s special which is Mongozo Coconut Crab Beignets and beer battered Haddock Burger, the batter is so light and crispy😋, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, definitely will be back again soon.

Very tasty food and friendly staff.

Food was good - nice bratwurst and sauerkraut. Beers were mainly Belgian so not really to my taste but can recommend the food!

We had a fantastic experience - food, drinks and staff were amazing. I was especially impressed by the quality and speed of service, specifically the knowledge about the beers.

Been here a few times, selection of beer is excellent if slightly overwhelming. Hits the spot each time and good to try new options on top and bottle. The food is also superb (some of the best in Horsforth I dare say) and will be back to go through the menu. Top draw 👌

Joined some friends here after I'd had a pretty heavy night out they have some good non alcoholic drinks, the beer menu looks great and had a fantastic croque Monsieur

Great food, drinks and by no means last, great service.

Enjoyed drinks here many times and they provide an amazing arrangement of flavoured beers and lagers, they provide a great knowledge of the drinks menu. They aim to please and steer you to the beverage of your choice. The food is lovely, I had a pork schnitzel which tasted very flavoursome, tender pork with a crumb that tasted of aniseed and sweet maple Syrup. Will definitely be back!

The Staff and owners are very friendly and accommodating. The food (I had the veggie platter) was beautiful! The selection of beers is really really good. Authentic Belgian/German/Dutch food and beer. My only gripe is the location; for me a taxi is too expensive and there’s no direct public transport… if I drive I can’t enjoy the beer as much 🤣 10/10!

Really interesting place, great beer and food too. No corners cut.

What a great place with a great atmosphere, fantastic selection of beers, the staff are really friendly and they provide a professional and amazing service. What more could you want. I would definitely recommend visiting here. We will definitely come here again for a visit.

Very pleasant attentive staff and a nice welcoming atmosphere.

Great place! Good beer, great food, really appreciate the vegan options. Excellent service, didn’t have an empty glass all night!

Very wide range of beers. Some good food as well, but mostly beer.

Great little boozer! We popped in for a couple of beers not really knowing what to expect. Good selection of alcohol, friendly staff and games. We played Mario jenga. Loved it.

Fab place! We popped in for lunch on our way home to Teesside and loved it so much we decided to book into a local hotel for the night and come back in the evening for drinks! Lovely staff, great atmosphere. The food is unreal and the beer selection is next level. Thanks for a great evening and we will be back soon!

Really nice winter food to warm you up and awesome selection of beers. Very interested to see what the summer menu will look like

Fantastic food and beer. Amazing staff. Lovely atmosphere. A must visit.

Great beer, tasty mussels, excellent service and fun board games. A hidden gem on Horsforth’s Town Street.

Great food and beers, thanks for the Halloween quiz Tom ☺️

Lovely and very knowledgeable and attentive staff. Thank you

Absolutely great experience, starters were brilliant, the soup my partner ordered was that good I ordered additional starters to mine as it was so tasty! The mains were just as good, the knowledge of the staff regarding the beers was great aswell, highly recommend this place! Can’t wait to go again! Thank you!

We had a great evening here last week! Lovely staff. Brilliant range of beers including some tasty non-alcoholic beers. Great space and family friendly. Pleased to see vegan options on the menu. The vegan meatballs were delicious! Bratwurst - ok - would prefer more fake meat style sausage. Will definitely return - lovely addition to Horsforth.

I was at The Little Monk for a Who Let The Dad's Out social, organised by Emmanuel Baptist church, just down the street. The bar has a great range of beers and the staff were very attentive. I was driving so just had a low alcohol beer (which I normally steer clear of) but it was really very good.
