Description:
Kendells Bistro is a cosy French restaurant in Leeds’ cultural quarter, serving classic bistro dishes, French wines and candlelit atmosphere with plenty of old-school charm. It is romantic, relaxed and wonderfully unpretentious, the kind of place where dinner feels like a tiny trip to France without anyone making you attempt the accent.
Good for:
French food, date nights, pre-theatre dinners, anniversary meals, wine lovers, cosy evenings, special occasions and anyone who thinks candlelight makes every meal at least 27% more dramatic.

Make a Day of It:
Start with a show at Leeds Playhouse or a wander around Victoria Gate, then head to Kendells Bistro for French food, wine and a proper sit-down dinner. It is a brilliant pre-theatre shout, but also ideal for those nights when you want somewhere intimate, grown-up and nowhere near boring.
The Tidy Take:
Kendells Bistro is one of Leeds’ proper little gems. Cosy, candlelit and full of character, it nails that French bistro feel without going stiff or snooty. Perfect for dates, celebrations and anyone who wants dinner to feel special without the restaurant acting like it invented butter.
