If you\u2019re anything like me, food is always a top priority when making any big decision. When you\u2019re deciding where to go to university, it\u2019s always worth getting to know the city you\u2019re thinking of choosing as well as the university, and places to eat can play a big part in this. Luckily, there\u2019s a great variety of places to eat in Leeds, and with restaurants, cafes and takeaways to suit every need (as well as the student budget), you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice.<\/p>\n

Bundobust<\/a><\/h2>\n

If it\u2019s Indian food you\u2019re after, look no further than Bundobust. Putting a unique and dynamic twist on traditional Indian street food, this place really goes above and beyond the average curry house. Although you may not recognise everything on the menu (it\u2019s mostly South Indian dishes such as masala dosa, pav vada and idli sambhar) it\u2019s sure to be an adventure in trying something new, rather than ordering the same old chicken tikka masala you\u2019ve had a thousand times before. The restaurant\u2019s street food ethos makes it affordable for students, with small plates coming in at around \u00a33-5 each. It\u2019s the perfect place to go with a group of friends, as you can order a selection of small plates and split the bill without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n

\"Indian

Real Burger Inc<\/a><\/h2>\n

This little burger joint right opposite the university makes for the perfect Friday night treat after a long day of lectures. Offering an all-American experience with its diner-style d\u00e9cor and a drool-worthy selection of burgers, shakes and waffles at decent prices, you can just hop over from Parkinson Steps and pig out for under a fiver. And they\u2019re not stingy either \u2013 you definitely get the most for your money, with big portion sizes and a side of chips included in every meal. The burgers are to die for, with the most succulent, tender chicken sitting on soft, perfectly toasted brioche buns, and melting cheese oozing out of the middle.<\/p>\n

The Humpit<\/a><\/h2>\n

Hummus fans can now rejoice with the opening of the new branch of the Humpit in Leeds University Union this September. Previously a little-known secret tucked away in the Corn Exchange, you now have access to hummus bowls, soft, pillowy pitta breads and crispy, spicy falafel right on your doorstep. Although it\u2019s little too pricey to reasonably go here for lunch every day, it\u2019s not too bad for the occasional treat.<\/p>\n

\"humpit

The Greedy Pig<\/a><\/h2>\n

This is the best place to go for breakfast in Leeds, hands down. If you\u2019re looking for fluffy, thick American-style pancakes, this is the place to be, and although it\u2019ll set you back a fiver for a stack of pancakes with butter, maple syrup and a choice of blueberries or bacon, it\u2019s the ideal place for a Pancake Day treat. Or any day treat really.<\/p>\n

Laynes<\/a><\/h2>\n

A little caf\u00e9 located right by the station, this place is perfect for a morning pick me up if you\u2019re killing time before your train. With a lovely selection of artisanal coffee and cakes, it\u2019s also a good place to study (or pretend to while you\u2019re actually people-watching or scrolling through Instagram) or meet a friend for brunch. Although it\u2019s a little on the pricier side, the quality of the coffee and food are worth it.<\/p>\n

\"Laynes

Sukhothai<\/a><\/h2>\n

This is a good place to take your parents when they come to visit. Just a little too far on the fancy side to be affordable to students, but still delivering on the quality of food, ambience and service, it\u2019s a sure-fire way to impress mum and dad when they come and eat out in Leeds. They really go above and beyond to give you an authentic Thai experience, from the little bowls carrying complimentary jasmine tea to the drumming and song and dance they make when it\u2019s someone\u2019s birthday. With branches in both Headingley and central Leeds, this is a great place to go for special occasions.<\/p>\n

Whites<\/a><\/h2>\n

A classy caf\u00e9\/bar in the heart of Headingley, this is the perfect place for all occasions. Whether you\u2019re in the mood for lunch, dinner, afternoon tea or even drinks in the evening, Whites has you covered. The fairy lights and low-level lighting create a great ambience, while the staff are always friendly and welcoming.<\/p>\n

\"Whites

LS6<\/a><\/h2>\n

Formerly known as the Clock Caf\u00e9, this is another place that\u2019s atmospheric enough to make you feel fancy, whilst also being affordable enough to enjoy yourself in without worrying. It\u2019s Hyde Park location makes it a popular haunt for students grabbing a bite to eat or catching up on a few drinks in the evenings. They also have a whole host of events like poetry readings, pub quizzes, jazz and open mic nights, so you can pretend to be cultured.<\/p>\n

Oranaise<\/a><\/h2>\n

Finally, this unique caf\u00e9 in Hyde Park is a real taste of something different. Boasting a rich menu filled with Middle Eastern delicacies, you\u2019ll be spoilt for choice if you want to try something new. It\u2019s perfect for vegetarians and vegans as well, as they have a whole separate menu to cater to your veggie friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
