The Whitehall Restaurant & Bar in Leeds

No puedo elogiar este restaurante y su soltero lo suficiente. Celebré mis 40 años allí y tenía algunas peticiones de menú muy específicas que el personal hizo todo lo posible para acomodar. La atención al detalle y la atención estaban fuera de lo normal. Gracias por la mejor comida de cumpleaños de la historia. (Además, sus asados de domingo son los mejores, no puedo recomendar lo suficiente)

Me encanta este restaurante y hasta ahora siempre he optado por el set de almuerzo con burbujas sin fondo. Es una comida deliciosa, un gran lugar con personal encantador y acogedor. Es una pena que el edificio tenga andamios ya que la gente puede no ver esta joya de un restaurante que vale la pena visitar.

Nuestra primera experiencia en este restaurante, aunque nuestro amigo había estado muchas veces antes. Almorzamos en el menú especial de cangrejos de río y langosta Mac y queso. Esto fue en realidad un comienzo, que con toda honestidad lo suficiente para mí como principal, comprar mi marido se duplicó. Esto era absolutamente delicioso, muy sabroso con el queso suficiente no abrumador en absoluto. No solemos persuadir a la gente de los postres para que probaran uno de los postres especiales, un bollo choux crujiente con cáscara y un centro de caramelo devino, junto con helado, salsa de caramelo y palomitas de maíz. ¡Esta fue una sensación de sabor y textura! Disfrutamos mucho de nuestra tarde allí, el personal era absolutamente encantador, muy amable. Honestamente, habríamos pasado por delante de este restaurante sin saber que estaba allí debido a todos los andamios y comida, pero ¡qué hallazgo fue! ¡Bien hecho todos!

No creo que haya mucho que pueda decir sobre el almuerzo del domingo que no se haya dicho, pero el Whitehall es sin duda el lugar para estar en Leeds en un domingo húmedo y ventoso! El almuerzo del domingo es muy buena relación calidad-precio en £ 20 y todo estaba muy bien cocinado. Ambos fuimos por la carne de res, pero también se puede tener pollo o cerdo junto con el menú normal. También fueron lo suficientemente amables para cambiar nuestro queso de coliflor por chirivías y teníamos cerdos en mantas a un lado. El colorete rosa Pinot era el tono más bonito de rosa pálido y menos de 30€ la botella, lo que no es tan malo para Leeds en estos días. El restaurante estaba muy ocupado, lo que de nuevo lo dice todo con una mezcla muy agradable de familias, parejas y amigos. El servicio fue excelente, amable y eficiente, pero no demasiado en su cara. Absolutamente nada que no me guste y me encantaría volver a probar el menú de la noche en algún momento.

¡La cena de domingo más increíble que he tenido en años! Yo tenía el pollo y mi amigo tenía la carne. ¡Absolutamente hermosa! Y el servicio fue excepcional. No puedo esperar a volver ya. Gracias chicos xx

Amazing! Really not a bad word to say. Incredible service (not on top of us at all but always attentive). Amazing food (good portion size and taste was fantastic!). Decor and cleanliness also top tier. We had a lovely meal and would easily recommend to anyone. We went for Sunday lunch and all got different meats which were so tasty. Mum had the Veg option and loved it (she’s usually a little fussy). Really really well done to the whole team. Is a little on the pricey side but for this food and service it’s a bargain!

We wanted to celebrate our wedding reception at The Whitehall, because they offer the best roast dinner in Leeds. They were so accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. All the guests loved the sharing platters and all said how beautifully cooked everything was. The service was impeccable from all the staff, with nothing too much trouble without being overbearing. Being able to share our special day with loved ones, with amazing food and a perfect environment was everything we wanted. We can not thank them enough and also recommend them enough. See you all again very soon.

The Whitehall doesn’t look much from the outside with the building covered in scaffolding, but it was lovely inside once you’d found your way. Service was excellent throughout and we received a surprise anniversary bonus to finish off our meal. We shared crispy prawns as a starter. Large juicy prawns with no tail covered in a very crispy batter. I had trout for main course with tempura mussels and a creamy leek sauce. Beautiful fillet of fish which went perfectly with the sauce. My wife had a duo of chicken - 2 succulent breast pieces along with a mini chicken and mushroom pie. All very tasty. We mixed and matched our desserts - Chocolate delice and sticky toffee pudding. Both were rich and scrumptious. Total bill including bottle of wine, pint of Amstel and a liqueur coffee was £120. 10% service charge is added automatically.

Great Sunday lunch with friends. We all enjoyed the fantastic food and service. Great value for top quality food. We will definitely return.

Faultless service, food and kind hospitality from the moment we walked through the door till we left. Out with discerning friends who thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal. Lena and her colleagues provided great service with a smile. Thank you so much ! Highly recommended. We will return x

Fantastic food, brilliant service from all the staff. Definitely go back there. Highly recommended. Staff very attentive.

Visited this restaurant many times. Usually for Sunday lunch which is absolutely superb. This week we visited mid week and sampled the Ala carte menu. We always go all out here and have a 3 course meal , as everything is so delicious. The staff are very friendly and give excellent service with a smile.

Father's Day Sunday roast Delicious roast dinner, gravy was so tasty!! Fab kids menus too! My kids lived the roast dinner and also burger with chips. Great wine and cocktails, great service, lovely staff, we will definitely be back 😋

The food was good, tasted fresh. Fairly priced. Service was great, friendly staff. Unfortunately loosing a star as I just didn’t feel like it was clean, crumbs round the window ledge and murky glasses. The construction work outside isn’t ideal either for a romantic setting.

Being unfamiliar with Leeds, and having a couple of hours to spend before our afternoon train departed south, we went in search of the best Bloody Marys in the city within staggering distance of the station. Fortunately the guy who recommended the Whitehall Restaurant & Bar was also an experienced bartender, so we sought it out. The fact that it turned out to be bang opposite the hotel we had checked out from four hours earlier didn't dampen our spirits. We were offered BM's on a Vesuvial scale, spiced in a range between 0-10. My friend opted for a 3, I boldly suggested an 8 (accompanied by olives, hummus and flatbread and a tidal wave of H20). My follow-up No.6 grade Bloody Mary packed no less a punch in its seasoning. All beautifully served by the ever-attentive Hannah (no doubt checking that she wouldn't need to make a 111 call). We will certainly return for the full enchilada next time as the menu and dining room looked enticing. Very busy for midweek luncheon service, and rightly so. The fact that the Whitehall is independently run was the icing on the cake.

Sunday lunch with friends… absolutely delicious. Great service, & atmosphere. Best lunch we’ve had in ages. Will definitely return for our next Sunday lunch out. Good value too.

Decided to try The Whitehall after seeing reviews and the food on their Instagram. Visited on a Saturday night at 7pm - was quite noisy but a good atmosphere. Service was excellent. Tomato garlic bread was very disappointing- hard and not very warm - appeared that it had been cooked some time before it was served. Also tasteless. Crispy prawns and scallops were nice but nothing special. French Onion soup was nice but more bread/cheese would have been better. Main courses were all good. See further comments below re temperature of the food. Desserts came out amazingly quick (before the coffee) and the rice pudding had a skin on top of it. Having said that it was fairly tasty. One dessert came wrong and was replaced with the right one almost immediately which seemed odd but the large table next to us did also order desserts so we were thinking maybe just the wrong one was brought to us. Our main gripe is that nothing was hot - all food was lukewarm some with ‘hot spots’- we felt it had either been sat waiting or re-heated. It didn’t feel like freshly cooked food (apart from the steak) which was a shame as that is what we expected. Coffee was again lukewarm. Overall we felt if the food had been hotter and some parts of it tastier, it would have been more enjoyable Concensus is we would return but on a night when it was quieter to see if the food seems fresher then . A little disappointed tonight but the service was good and staff friendly and attentive

Absolutely lovely restaurant food and service the menu is great it has an open kitchen, the service we received was top class and the food was cooked perfect, for starters we got the muscles and scallops, we got the lamb to share which was amazing including the pot of gravy, cheese board and 2 espresso martinis, we will definitely be back, don’t miss this place if your visiting Leeds, we were only here for 2 nights Thank you all the team for a great dining experience

Went for Valentines night. A very busy night but the service and food were excellent. We had a sharing Beef Wellington, the best I have had anywhere. The dessert was delicious and fabulously presented. Will be back soon.

Brilliant staff Lovely food Really enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant Will be back very soon Large choice of food and drinks

Every time I go I enjoy my food here - meaning food is excellent and so is the service. Hands down my fave restaurant in Leeds and will keep returning 👌.

Another fantastic meal and great service. The presentation of the food is second to none and the taste was great. Hubby had a fabulous steak and my halibut dish was sublime. Servers are attentive, quick to notice if you need another drink and all very friendly. Atmosphere was also great- has a great vibe.

Beautifully cooked food and such attentive service. I had the fish pie special (as did one of my friends) and thought it was superb. However my friend told the waiter that she was a bit disappointed as for the price it didn't have enough fish. I totally disagreed but the staff took her complaint very seriously and the manageress came out to apologise but explained that the chefs carefully weighed the designated portion of fish for each pie and it was highly unlikely that hers had less. This is a restaurant that takes its cooking very seriously and has extremely high standards. If I'm ever back in Leeds I'll definitely be back.

Superb Sunday lunch , good quality fresh ingredients and well presented . Service was attentive too and was very busy so must be popular

Nice and friendly welcome. Love the fact they have Heineken Zero on draught. Wife had a Rhubarb based Cocktail. Fantastic starters with a Cauliflower starter which was SO tasty. A sharing main of Lamb with two sauces, 2 chips or fries and some Spinach was devoured. The lamb was superb. Great Grub and Great Service!

Visited for a birthday celebration the food was excellent we had steaks and lemon sole as main courses and they were excellent the service was good and the staff friendly overall a lovely restaurant with great food would definitely visit again

Went for a late lunch yesterday with ex colleagues. Was quiet but food & service more then made up for lack of ambience due to timing. We all did the set menu & my French onion soup starter & pork belly main certainly hit the spot on a cold Autumnal LEEDS day. The restaurant is currently wrapped due to scaffolding and no doubt presents a challenge but once inside all as normal. Great food & fab service at a reasonable price. We enjoyed a lovely pm catching up & this was a good choice & price for the quality of the food & the copious amount of wine we drank!

Absolutely fabulous service and food was outstanding. We were served by Luke tonight and he was incredible, really quick and efficient, he was super friendly and so nice to get along with. Thank you so much for making it such a lovely night!

Absolutely fabulous service and food was outstanding. Batter prawns to die for, steak cooked to perfection. And finished woth Berry cheesecake. Would 100 percent go again. The young lady alana who served us gave exceptional service

The restaurant was amazing, George, my waiter was very attentive, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, it was a pleasure to be looked after by him. I chose oysters, followed by seafood linguine which was the best I have ever tasted, seasoned to perfection. The design of the restaurant has clearly been well thought out, it is only a real shame for both the owner, and staff, that the restaurant is shrouded in scaffolding! Were I to live near Leeds I would make this a regular haunt without any hesitation.

This was our third time at Whitehall, we are not from Leeds but have made a point of visiting here when we come. We came for a meal prior to a concert at the area. So had booked to have the early evening menu. Which...

Third visit but this time on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. As always, stunning food and fab service! Will be back again!

Lovely food and a great service, the only criticism is the sirloin steak was a bit tough but that’s not down to the chefs I guess, seasoning was perfect and that’s what the chef does.

Amazing food & great service The staff were attentive & enthusiastic and knew the menu & specials inside and out and made suggestions in food and drink Food was delicious- and beautifully presented

Brilliant. The best Sunday lunch around, we do a 40 mile round trip for this. The pink beef is so tender and the gravy immense. Puddings to die for and really good attentive service.!

Wow. This was a great meal. We came while we were visiting Leeds and it was amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sauce was delicious. I would return in a heartbeat.

We selected The Whitehall as a dining location during our recent trip to Leeds. Lovely modern restaurant with friendly staff. It was quiet while we were there (5:30 pm seating) so very easy to carry on a conversation. We both had steaks and they were...

3 courses and half a bottle of decent wine for £30 or so - add a little for steak (very nicely cooked, excellent Yorkshire blue cheese sauce, great chips) and plenty of other choices. Friendly service and nice ambience.

This was a late lunch at a place that had been recommended. The staff were great and very helpful. However the food was somewhat disappointing for the prices charged

Booked and took advantage of an offer for 3 courses including wine. All the starters were very poor and all lacking in seasoning. In particular the “focaccia” bread with oil we got as an extra dish. Which wasn’t focaccia, nor was it Extra Virgin Olive...

The food is consistently good and there is a wide variety on the menu, but the staff and the service makes this place extra special! It has fast become one of our favourite places to eat in Leeds.
