Leeds 'Hidden Gems' Food Tour

Value for money tour, visit was of good length and the places visited were excellent. Chilli Shop and the indian outside the train station was a personal highlight. Undergrpund bakery is excellent.

Ellen was so warm and welcoming and had really good working knowledge of the area and the cuisine that is available in Leeds. She was a pleasure to chat with and we all really enjoyed her company. 🥟 Taste of Xiangchi Asian street food. We had a braised beef and rice dish that wash really tasty. 🌮 Neon Cactus It took a while to get served with our tacos, but it was totally worth the wait. 🇮🇹 Stuzzi We were served a huge Arancini each, the service and food were great. 🌶️ The Chilli Shop This was a really fun stop to try out some chilli sauces and have a quick lesson about the Scoville scale. 🍛 Delhi Wala Food: The food was lovely, but as soon as Ellen left us to finish off our meal at the end of her time with us the restaurant started pressuring us to clear our table and go. The meal was paid for in advance, but a really high service charge was applied to the drinks total- please watch out for this when you check your bill before deciding whether or not you wish to pay for the service charge. Given that we were hustled out of the restaurant, I was conflicted about paying the charge.

We did the self guided taste of leeds food tour and it was such a brilliant way to spend the day in leeds. The app functionality was seamless, and also informative about both Leeds and the vendors visited. The vendors were also really well selected, enjoying some great food, even down to the order in which you visit. Without the app I don't think I knew the places existed, never mind willing to try them out. Making it mutually beneficial for both the independents and ourselves. The food we had was beautiful and the qr code scanning made the whole experience hassle free.

I have previously done the Hidden Gems tour and the Harrogate tour - both exceptional with some really high quality and diverse food stops. They were so good that I must have raved about it a lot and subsequently I was gifted the Parent & Baby tour. This was as good as the others - and very well curated to cater for parents with tiny babies. Thoughtfully spaced stops with baby-friendly facilities and again top-notch food. I live in Leeds and come here frequently and there were still new food stops for me - can't argue with that! Highly recommend any of the Leeds Food Tour options, you won't be disappointed.

Had a great time celebrating my 50th birthday with 14 friends. Having Linda as our guide took all the stress and responsibility out of deciding where to go, and when. Moving locations regularly meant that the group constantly mixed up and so you managed to speak to everyone over the course of the evening. We all loved discovering new places in a city we all thought we knew well, and the food was great, and plenty of it!

What a wonderful way to spend a wet afternoon in Leeds. Linda, our tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out interesting buildings and facts as we walked around. Our group was 9 people so it was easy to stay together. We visited 7 very different foodie places in our 4 hours, including the oldest pub, a bakery, a Mexican, an Indian and a chilli shop lock in. The food in every stop was absolutely delicious and there was so much of it we didn't need to eat again. It said the walk was a mile but my fitbit said 3 miles altogether. I would recommend this and hope to try their York or Harrogate walks at some point.

We went on a self-guided street food tour of Leeds and it was epic! Really great venues and so much food - we were absolutely stuffed by the end, but you can take as long as you like. Highly recommend!

I booked this food tour as part of my sons birthday celebrations and we enjoyed every minute. Our guide Lynda was great and arranged a special surprise for my son on the tour. The 7 stops were all different but equally delicious. The food was plentiful so go hungry. Lynda was such fun and knowledgeable and the group quickly gelled. It was a miserable day weather wise but none of us noticed as we were enjoying ourselves so much. Thank you!

I wanted to say thank you to our management team for all their hard work — so I planned a little surprise day out! 😉 Always a risk in case they hated it! We loaded into taxis and headed into Leeds to meet Ellen, our guide for the afternoon. We finally revealed the surprise and ended up having the best four hours eating and drinking our way around some of Leeds’ most iconic and hidden gems! What a great day we had! The perfect balance of a little Leeds history and sampling some of the city’s hottest spots! Can't recommend this brilliant day out enough!

Leeds was a great surprise. Coming back after forty years the place is transformed. The developments in the canal areas are a welcome change with most heritage buildings benefiting. The new plaza areas are a good addition. Lots of food options along with some nice pubs. Enjoyed the Light Leeds’ installations or as we know it “Nuit Blanche “
