Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Leeds and Liverpool Canal

"If you like a good steak, immediately book a table at Hawksmoor, a beloved British steakhouse with a few outposts throughout the country. The menu has many options, including for vegetarians, but the rib-eye is the way to go (especially if you add the bone marrow gravy). Hawksmoor is also known for its massive Sunday roast, available from lunchtime on Sundays, and it's the sort of spot where you can pop in for a burger at the bar or go all out for a special occasion."

"Housed in the old Grade II-listed courthouse building on Deansgate, Hawksmoor has a refined aesthetic that perfectly complements its best of British menu offering. Widely regarded as the best steakhouse in the city, everything is a labour of love here – from the beef to the wine, to the cocktails and puddings. If you struggle to get a table, there’s sometimes room in the bar."
