Any good restaurants?
 
It's my girlfriends birthday on the 10th July and, in trying to be a good boyfriend (as well as the fact that she bought me a Playstation 2 for my birthday last year), I've booked a room at 42 The Calls in Leeds, which is somewhere that she's always wanted to stay.

It's costing the best part of 200 quid, but it includes a bottle of champagne on arrival, a Harvey Nicholls goodie bag and £50 worth of vouchers for Harvey Nicks as well so, hopefully, it'll be a nice surprise and she gets some extra bits and pieces as well (as well as the presents that I'll get her anyway).

Unfortunately, being the poor lad that I am, I'm not sure if I'll be able to afford to eat in the restaurant at the hotel ('cos it's 40 quid a head), so I wondered if anyone knew of any decent restaurants in Leeds that I could book at instead - otherwise, I'll just have to skint myself at the hotel :dozey:

I don't kmow Leeds.Is there anywhere you can take her for a picnic?One that you have taken time to pick nice titbits for.It will save on overheads and you can afford to splurge on some nicer food.Mind it would need nice weather for that one but it would be different.

Incog. :)

you could go to hyde park and take a picnic if its nice. it would be quite romantic too, as you'd obviously made an effort for her :)

depends what sort of food you want.... there's a nandos...and several resturant type things in one of the centres..... if memory serves the centre is called the light... its at the top of the highstreet..will find a link

Does Harvey Nicks have a Cafe / Restauant like the one in London. Might be reasonable / trendy.

D'oh - didn't even think of that :disturbd: . May have a look and see - I know that the one in Birmingham has as well (or at least that's what my dad says anyway)

I think ( :erm: ) that she's a big fan of Harvey Nicholls (I've never been to one so I don't know what they're like). I do know that she told me off for not taking her to the one in Birmingham when we visited my parents at Christmas (mind you, she had dragged me to the next sale at 5 in the morning, so I probably wasn't as receptive as I could have been :tired:

Nug hopes that she learns to drive soon

Her learning to drive wont matter mate. Cause if you lurve her you'll get up at 05.00, and stand in the cold and rain to keep her company. ;)

Depends what your looking for. Some nice country pubs a few miles out of Leeds Centre, Hard Rock Cafe is always useful too, the are some nice restuarants just across the river from the Brewery too.

Est Est Est is reasonable
Thai Edge is very VERY nice a little pricey but not £40 per head
Or try the new places in The Light (on the Headrow)
