Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Greetland

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"Bundobust is a huge beer hall serving craft ales in the heart of Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens. It also happened to win Restaurant of the Year at the 2017 Manchester Food and Drink Festival awards, thanks to its stellar menu of Indian small plates."

"East 59th is one of Leeds' swankiest rooftop restaurants and bars, offering views of the city's gorgeous architecture including the historic Kirkgate Market. Grab a space on their outdoor terrace for jaw-dropping vistas, boujee brunch plates, and NYC-inspired cocktails come nightfall."

"Address: Victoria Gate, 3rd Floor Rooftop, George St, Leeds LS2 7AU. Phone number: 0113 426 5050. East 59th boasts a sophisticated Manhattan-style rooftop restaurant, where you can drink and dine in style."

"Angelica, at the very top of Trinity Leeds, is a luxurious spot at any time of day, but to really get the most out of it we’d recommend visiting at night. Drinking cocktails on their terrace and watching the world go by is an absolute dream, as is their impressive food menu."

"It's not hard to see why Angelica is regarded as one of Leeds' best rooftop restaurants. Along with a mouthwatering menu of fine dining dishes, a beautiful sky-high terrace and a stellar selection of cocktails, the Trinity haunt boasts enviable views across the city."

"Steak and chips for £5 is the signature special of this multi-space eatery–a mix of food space, beer hall, gig location and sceney rooftop–where fluffy pals are not just welcomed, but are often rewarded with a starring role on Headrow’s Instagram page. The action happens over four floors, in what was previously a textile mill. Standout features include the beer hall’s collection of four tanks of unpasteurised Pilsner and 60 international beers, plus the upstairs terraces–where you can while away a relaxed evening, and your dog has space for a leg stretch when it needs it (also known as flashing puppy eyes at other people to attract more cuddles)."

"Headrow House isn’t just one of the coolest bars in Leeds city centre – it also puts on an array of club nights. But while they might fly under the radar, they’re worth checking out. You could spend the night partying in their second-floor gig room, or go along to one of their day and night terrace parties up on the roof."

"A former textile mill and one-time grotty dive pub, the historic building that now houses Headrow House was given a hefty makeover to transform it into the four-floor nightlife venue it is today."

"Loud, proud and OTT as hell, Dollhouse is taking your nights out up a notch - or ten. Shimmy over with the gang where you'll find bright pink decor, Insta-worthy cocktails and cutting-edge music, as well as top-notch entertainment."

"Browns is a British brasserie in a grand café setting, and it’s not hard to see why it’s well-loved all around the country, given the quality of its food and drink!. They have two bottomless brunch options. The first one is £35pp and gets you a brunch dish, a Flat White Martini, and bottomless prosecco, bellinis and Bloody Marys."

"What: Fleur Café's strapline might as well read ‘come for the Instagram opportunities, stay for the breakfasts’. This picture-perfect café features foliage draped over the doorway and pink accents galore, while on the menu you can expect a run of French-leaning breakfast dishes. Our favourite is the poached eggs, paired with brioche and smoked paprika hollandaise.Where: 8 The Light, LS1 8TL"

"Located in The Light, a leisure and retail centre in the city centre, Fléur Cafe is Leeds’ most instagrammable cafe. The decoration is impressive – as per the cafe name you’ll see purple and pink flowers hanging at the entrance. But that’s not all, the walls are pink and beautifully decorated, and not to forget about the roof that has been decorated with butterflies."

"New homemade pasta restaurant Sarto opened this autumn, just south of the bus station, in Munro House. Its simple menu is full of well-considered and refined ingredients, and the wine list is just as well thought-through, once again using Leeds’ favourite winos (sommelier? Wino? Potato potahto, we say) Latitude and Wayward to source some exciting and gluggable options. The wine menu changes frequently (the food does too!) but you know there’s going to be a natural white or orange perfect to pair with our current favourite ‘gnocchi on jerusalem artichoke puree with chervil’, and a bodied red to go with the ‘lamb neck ragu with mint’."

"The brainchild of the guys behind two of Leeds’ indie giants, Laynes and The Brunswick, Sarto is the Northern answer to London pasta bars Padella and Pastaio. Radiatori, bucatini, fettuccine, Sarto master it all, with a tantalising supply of snacks and spritz to boot. Munro House, Duke St, Leeds LS9 8AG – 0113 345 2074"

"Leeds' very first dedicated pasta restaurant arguably offers the greatest value for money anywhere in the city. Diners sit overlooking the open kitchen, which is slap bang in the middle of the restaurant, and the chefs are absolute masterminds. The menu is pretty limited, but each and every dish is a belter."

"The Lounges are a group of modern, fun and slightly quirky restaurants. “What is it that people love best about Lounging?"

"Using seasonal ingredients, Brewers Fayre The Hunsworth boasts a menu of traditional pub dishes. Varied sharing platters are served alongside tempting nibbles and British favourites. Hearty breakfasts are also available for early risers, while…"

"Expect the usual array of obscene burgers that promise to fulfil the brand’s ‘come hungry, leave wobbly’ motto, along with hotdogs, fries, sides and hard shakes. Kids and dogs are both welcome and vegans are catered for too."

"Step away from the soggy meal deal sandwich, and head to MEATLiquor for a real feed, with a lunch deal available during the week that gives you any burger, fries and a soda for a tenner. Mon-Fri, 12-5pm, £10"
