Description:
Banksia is a Mediterranean-inspired bar and restaurant inside Hotel Indigo Leeds, bringing small plates, fresh local produce, cocktails, wine, whisky, gin and all-day dining to Lower Briggate. From breakfast and lunch to date-night drinks, bottomless brunch and Sunday roasts, it is polished without feeling too stiff, which is exactly what you want when the table starts ordering “just a few bits” and suddenly needs structural support.

​

Good for:
Mediterranean food · Small plates · Cocktails · Bottomless brunch · Sunday roasts · Date nights · Hotel dining · Group meals · Business dinners · City-centre drinks

​

Nearby:

Make a Day of It:
Start with shopping around Trinity Leeds or Victoria Gate, wander down towards the Corn Exchange, then head to Banksia for Mediterranean plates and cocktails. If you are staying at Hotel Indigo, even better, dinner and drinks are basically downstairs with no taxi negotiation required.

​

The Tidy Take:
Banksia brings a bit of grown-up sparkle to Lower Briggate, with Mediterranean flavours, strong cocktails and that hotel-bar polish that makes even a casual drink feel slightly more special. Great for brunches, roasts, dates and anyone who likes their dinner with a little extra gloss.
