Leeds, Mauritian Restaurant Guide

“The food’s awesome, chef Jono delightful and the waiting staff superb!” according to fans of Jonathan Hawthorne’s “atmospheric” modern British dining room: a first-floor space with open kitchen, quirkily accessed at the corner of a building in the city centre, which is “lovely, although the climb up the steep stairs may put some people off”. This former MasterChef: The Professionals finalist continues to offer a nine-course menu for £79 per person (as well as, early week, a five-course alternative). There was one disappointment this year, but even this was “a game of two halves: some so-so dishes, followed by some really good ones”.
