From Vegan Gyros to Sunday roasts, there’s something for everyone.
Looking for new places to eat in Leeds? Wellington Place is home to four unique restaurants with a variety of food options, perfect for your early evening scran or late-night dinner.
Just a stone’s throw away from Leeds train station, bus routes and carparks, Mad Frans, The Good Luck Club, Hoist House and Veeno are just a few of the places to visit at Wellington Place, but all deserve a spot on your city centre dinner hitlist. Let us introduce you…
1. Mad Frans
Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, some afterwork nibbles, a burger and a beer or even a three course Sunday roast – Mad Frans is a Leeds restaurant that’s well worth a visit.
Celebrating the very best of Yorkshire produce, Mad Frans uses fresh ingredients and offers a selection of craft beers and ales from local breweries. The menu is packed full of variety and includes Slow Roasted Beef Sirloin Carvery baps, Frans’ Fried Chicken burger and even Frans Thai Green Chicken Curry.
Visiting at the weekend? On Saturday, Mad Frans opens its doors for a bottomless brunch where everyone is catered for thanks to their large menu.
If you’re more of a Sunday roast fan, look no further. Mad Frans Sunday sharing boards, made up of 12-hour slow roasted Yorkshire beef sirloin, crisp skinned pork, fluffy roasties, giant Yorkshire puddings and a dose of Frans’ signature gravy are well worth shouting about.

2. The Good Luck Club
Inspired by the bar and grills that make up New York City, The Good Luck Club offers chargrilled dishes from the centre of Wellington Place. Serving food from lunch to early evening, The Good Luck Club uses ingredients from local suppliers and is sure to keep you coming back for more.
Based around a huge charcoal grill, you’re invited to customise your own dish by making a choice between a flatbread, salad, burgers or a bowl which you can top with something from the grill – whether its award-winning Skyes House Farm meat or slow roasted vegetables.
If you’re not looking to grab something from the grill, they also offer 10 different types of burgers including a homemade vegan Cajun bean burger topped with salsa, quacamole, romaine, tomato and onion, in between a vegan pretzel bun.
