Description:
Olive & Thai is an independent Thai restaurant tucked inside the Grade II listed Queens Arcade, bringing classic Thai dishes, specials, drinks and a relaxed city-centre dining feel to one of Leeds’ prettiest shopping spots. Expect fragrant curries, noodles, sharing dishes, vegan and gluten-free options, and the kind of food that makes “just a quick lunch” feel wildly optimistic.

​

Good for:
Thai food, lunch, dinner, family meals, date nights, group meals, shopping breaks, vegan options, gluten-free options, private parties and anyone who believes one curry and a side dish is technically “being sensible.”

​

Nearby:
Queens Arcade, Briggate, Victoria Quarter, Harvey Nichols, Trinity Leeds, The Light, Leeds Grand Theatre, Leeds Kirkgate Market.

​

Make a Day of It:
Start with a wander around Briggate, Victoria Quarter or Trinity Leeds, then head into Queens Arcade for Thai food at Olive & Thai. Keep it easy with lunch after shopping, or make it a relaxed evening meal before drinks nearby. Either way, it is a strong little city-centre escape hiding in plain sight.

​

The Tidy Take:
Olive & Thai gives Leeds a cosy Thai spot with proper flavour, friendly charm and a lovely arcade setting. It is ideal for lunches, dinners and those “we’ll share a few things” meals that immediately become a full-table takeover. Bring friends, bring an appetite and do not pretend you are only ordering one dish.
