The Art Deco, Grade II listed building which houses the Lounge Restaurant and Bar used to be a building society. These days, it is part of The Light, Leeds’ flagship retail and entertainment centre. Perfectly located for a mid-shopping spree bite to eat or the ideal location for a celebratory meal, it has a seasonal menu that neatly balances local sourcing with both traditional and modern culinary influences. Locally reared buffalo or beef might come with a horseradish mash and red wine sauce while the seared scallops could be partnered with a more cutting edge combo of tempura cauliflower and green pea foam. On Sundays, the lunch always includes a roast and, of course, Yorkshire puddings. Hearty desserts such as the bread and butter pudding with English custard complete the picture. A fireplace is the focal point for the relaxed upper level while the lower level offers a more formal dining experience.
