Scratching the surface of Leeds’ hidden city. Hidden rooftop bars, beautiful nature spots, and unassuming restaurants that foodies don’t want you to know about.

The Leeds Library

You've probably walked passed this hundreds of times and had no idea. The Narnia-style doorway leading to this gorgeous, members-only library is next to Paperchase on Commercial Street. It's nearly 250 years old but most Loiners don't even know it exists.

Passion Supper Club in Carlton

Carlton is home to Yorkshire's famous forced rhubarb and secret supper club hosts Simon and Remmy. They host tables of ten in their cosy home with dishes like rack of lamb and (obvs) rhubarb-based puddings.

The Hollies at Meanwood Park

Just 10 minutes outside of the city is an oasis of babbling streams, dense woods and a picturesque valley trail. Best of all there are two lovely pubs at the end of the trail.

Bulgogi Korean Grill

A new nightlife spot is emerging in the city which is all thanks to Leeds Arena opening. It's not quite established yet with there being lots of scaffolding in the way, so you may have missed this little corker.
