Blue Sakura Leeds
@yourfriend_chichi
This place was amazing! Especially coming from London, I was shocked by the quality/price and being bottomless.
From the beginning, they offer you a top-quality service. They have space for big luggage, bring you to your tables which I found pretty large and explain how to order from the tablet.
The bottomless doesn't include drinks, so keep that in mind in case you have a budget.
All the sakura around the restaurant makes the atmosphere feel special and during the evening more as they lighten up.
My friends and I loved it so much that went twice, so definitely recommended!

Mowgli Street Food
@yourfriend_chichi
Funny enough, I didn't like Indian cuisine till I came here!
At that time I found this restaurant on TikTok and find cute because of the fairy lights and wooden swings as seats.
Once we arrived there, the location was up to standard along with the food which was delicious and affordable.
Tip: if you want to seat on the swings you should book in advance as they are a popular choice.

Pizza Loco
@yourfriend_chichi
As an Italian, this reminded me of one of those local pizzerias we have in Italy.
The ones that you often choose to take aways and when you decide to eat in you get a familiar vibe.
I could feel the quality of the ingredients was fresh and that the owner, who lived and worked in Italy, made sure to bring to the UK the same care, passion and respect we Italians have for our food.

Fazenda Rodizio Bar & Grill Leeds
@yourfriend_chichi
Are you a meat lover? You definitely need to dine at this restaurant!
Rodizio are Brazilian steakhouse where you pay a fixed price for different cuts of meat. The waiters will come to your table with long vertical skewers, explain which meat they are serving and if you agree, they will cut in front of you.
In this restaurant, there was an unlimited sides option included and the drinks weren't.
The overall price is definitely not for budget dining, but if you take into consideration the amount of meat you can eat and the quality of food, service and drink you get, it is definitely worth going and I would love to have it in London too.

Lupe's Cantina Mexicana
@yourfriend_chichi
This is a cute Mexican-style restaurant with particular decors all around (even in the toilet!) together with Latin music and of course, tasty food and drinks.
We found it thanks to a local who suggested it to us and we enjoyed it so much.
The place has both outdoor and indoor seats, as it was summer when we went, we enjoyed a nice evening breeze in the outdoors.
The food was tasty, with true Mexican recipes and fulfilling dishes and cocktails were so good too.
Tips: Book in advance as it gets full pretty easily!
