We were not prepared for how AMAZING this food was. Tried two of the vegan options (the arancini and the potatoes), and were absolutely blown away, some of the best food in Leeds for sure. Also incredibly good value for money, fabulous service and beautiful decor. Can't wait to come back and try the new menu!!

What a place to eat. A hidden gem with an excellent menu. Fresh ingredients, excellent service running the restaurant and vibing atmosphere within the beautiful Leeds Corn Exchange. A good menu is a short one with excellent dishes. I tried Chicken & Gravy, which is a must. Unique flavours and a juicy fried chicken is melting in your mouth. Triple cooked potatoes are on fire. Moreover, the owners respect the other shop owners inside the Leeds Corn Exchange and try not to overla their product offerings. My only comment is that I want to see a small and unique selection of beers. Although I am European and I love wine more, my friends are enjoying more beer. I will be there again soon to try the OWT RAREBIT and CHEESY PLATE.

I've eaten at Owt in Leeds more times than I can count and the food is always amazing. I dropped in this morning as soon as they opened for a coffee and something sweet for breakfast. Great selection of drinks and I had the chocolate chip bread and butter pudding. Yep, for breakfast. As with all Owt's food the flavours and balance of everything was perfect. Melty chocolate, delicious bread, and cream - can't go wrong! The restaurant is bright and airy, the staff are always really friendly and helpful (and no judgement for my strange breakfast choice!) can't wait to go back on a thursday evening when they open later for dinner!

Saw this place was recommended in The Guardian Top 10 Places To Eat in Leeds and yes it certainly deserves its ranking! Staff are attentive and informative and the food-flipping delicious 🤤

H. P.

I can’t even put into words how delicious this meal was, great vegan and vegetarian options and please please get the hash browns or the triple cooked chips, they were incredible!!

C. H. C.

Had a fried chicken on toast and a ratatouille 2 ways at OWT, with a glass of rosé wine. The food was great and the wine was perfect for such a warm day. We had a lovely server and a great time.

What a lovely little place for a light lunch (but you might need to share, as we did, because portions are quite a reasonable size!). Their deep fried chicken was beautifully tender & tasty, chips excellent & winter remoulade lovely. And they present you with a carafe of water when you sit down, I wish more places did.

A. G.

Yep. No trip to Leeds is complete without a visit to this colourful addition to the Corn Exchange. Seasonal brilliance on the menu with a leaning towards all things potato! Overtly vegan friendly and even had a carefully curated site-wide dried flower display to zero in on the homeliness. Food for all the family and some…

A. E.

Owt is an absolute gem of a place. Wonderful people, free coffee and truly excellent food for very reasonable prices. Most costly dish is the daily fish, £8 when i had it, but this beat out some main courses I've had for 3x that price at speciality fish restaurants, and I'm not sure what more there is to be said after that! Whether you're a meat eater, a vegan, or somewhere in between, there will always be something to satisfy you. Plus, James and Esther will be more than happy to make any changes they can to suit your needs! Don't be afraid to ask! If you're in need of a filling, great value lunch in Leeds, you'd be hard pressed to do better than Owt.

L. M.

Absolutely delicious, locally sourced food for an affordable price! There's things for meat eaters and vegans alike, with the menu changing weekly. I had the big hash which I really loved, the vegetarian sausage is their own recipe and one of the best. The staff are also lovely and always looking for feedback. Looking forward to seeing more of them! Update: I come here almost every week now. It's never disappointed me! A must visit for foodies in Leeds!

A. I.

Good tasty chicken however we can do with some sauce. Coffee chai was from a tin which was not authentic and didn't taste great.

j. w.

Absolutely love this place, the food is always top quality, tastes amazing and the service is incredible. The specials are always great and worth a try if you dare stray away from the classics!

K. R.

Absolutely out of this world food. Nice little place with super friendly staff. Had the pan fried salmon with new potatoes and greens, and it was tremendous! Highly recommend.

L. S.

Really enjoyed our meals here (green salad the best I've had in years. Very simple whole crisp lettuce leaves with a beautiful garlicky vinaigrette, moist and ultra tasty lamb burger, unusual but excellent fresh lemony pepper and ricotta dish). One of those great occasions when you end up somewhere out of starving, grumpy necessity but it turns out to be a wonderful surprise. Lovely service too.

B.

A hidden gem! Absolutely delighted to find Owt. I had the hash brown bun and it was absolutely delicious. Affordable pricing and lovely atmosphere. The dried bouquet of flowers on the tables was a lovely touch and we had a friendly welcome. Truly lovely food, can't wait to come back :)

C. E.

Lovely food. Hashbrown salad was superb. The pickled onions were a perfect addition to a lightly fried hashbrown. They really are masters of flavour. Unassuming combinations come alive with there flavour balancing skills. And you get a free coffee ☕

C.

Great find in kirkgate market. Fish was fresh and everything else on the plate was delish. Very friendly staff and I like how colorful the dishes are! Will definitely return.

J. G.

Cannot recommend this place enough. Exceptional homemade food, wonderful humans, great coffee and an ever changing menu. The fried cauliflower was the hangover food of vegan dreams 🌱😍

J. L.

Chickpea tofu with salt and pepper chips, chimichurri & salad. Tasted absolutely class, and some of the friendliest staff ever. A massive hidden gem. New menu every week keeps it interesting as well

A. G.

A truly refreshing change to the generic restaurant food experience in Leeds. Owt serves straight up - Incredible, fresh and honest food with a menu that changes fortnightly. Even then these words can express just how much joy this menu brought me. With some of the most potent wine in the land and a wonderful service, this place is a one you can’t afford miss.

G. D.

Had an exceptional experience in this place! Me and my boyfriend looooved it sooo much! Half of the menu is vegan which is so rare to find these days. You can feel that the food they make is made with love. The atmosphere and service are brilliant too! This place just hits the spot. Owners are so lovely, honest and transparent. It’s clear that they put so much work in what they do. P.S. they change they menu every 2 weeks! I cannot wait to be back.

C. S.

Owtstanding food, with options for meat eaters, vegans and very conscious of any allergies etc... All food locally sourced. Service was great and the couple working were lovely.

B. S.

Lovely restaurant interior, great options on the menu (many vegan options too) and polite, warm stuff. I’ll definitely be going back to try things on the menu I didn’t get to this time.

J. M.

Had the hash brown and egg sandwich/burger and it was probably one of the nicest things I have ever eaten, the service was incredibly personable and welcoming as-well! To some extent I am regretful that it cannot remain as a small local secret as it is just too good!

M. W.

Amazing food, amazing service, one of my favorite spots in Leeds!!

F. B.

Amazing find! Had a vegan steak with veggies and a salad which was delicious - my girlfriend had a bacon bap (bacon from just round the corner on butchers row!) with homemade ketchup. Apparently was also really tasty. Lovely folks running it, friendly service and nice tunes. Recommend!!

M. I.

A unique gem in the heart of Leeds Kirkgate Market. Originally stumbled upon when I noticed a vegan sausage roll in the display that wipes the floor with the Greggs version! I've eaten here a number of times since and its been a delicious surprise every time. Everything is homemade and they change the menu weekly, they also offer free coffee while you wait or to enjoy with your food. You couldn't hope for a friendlier couple who are very passionate about what they do and it shows in their food. I look forward to every visit!

D. B.

I spotted this place after seeing a Guardian review of their (awesome) grilled cheese sandwiches. Every meal I've had there has been amazing, healthy and what's more they support the market by getting their ingredients on site. The staff are lovely too. Do yourself a favour, ditch the bland chain lunch deals and go here instead :)

J. G.

Amazing food and friendly staff in a really nice relaxed setting. The fried chicken is outstanding. Very good value for money.

D. H.

Amazing little eatery - such an inspired and well thought-through menu, and fantastic value too. Such a spot on concept - ultra local, fresh, quality - and delivered to an incredibly high standard. Hope they thrive and continue to spread the love with their food and good cheer. Oh and the desserts are to die for, plus coffee is free with food. Full of gorgeous grub, and watered for under a tenner - j'adore!

T. S.

Delicious food, friendly staff and I even got a free coffee while I waited. Great addition to Leeds Market

J. P.

An up and coming Gem in Leeds, that will likely become a full blown restaurant in a few years. The food is amazing and sourced from stands in the market. You can literally go and see the butchers/stands where all the food you are eating is acquired. Better still the food is market price, so about £5-8 and is as good as food i've paid £30+ in some high end restaurants. In my opinion, this is the best place to eat in Leeds on a budget.

A. C.

I love OWT. Friendly staff and delicious with acceptable price. ❤️❤️🥰

J. T.

This place is a revelation...... Fair prices for top quality locally sourced food (everything is sourced from the market itself). In a market stocked with high quality food, its hard to beat a varying seasonal menu that caters for all (vegan & fish dishes available) and delivers on flavour. Once you give it a try you'll be back with your friends time & time again. It's a must for any true foody 👌😋

R. M.

I can't get enough of Owt... Plus they're super allergy conscious, very knowledgeable about how to cater for my coeliac (gluten free) diet which is really reassuring. The food is always incredible - the best kind of comfort food - and the free coffee & warm welcome from James & Esther is the icing on the cake. Can't wait for my next visit 😍

c. j.

Food amazing and super service. Walk on past the Ivy. You won’t regret it!

V. S.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Was flavoursome and fresh. Staff were polite and very accommodating. Definitely going back 😋

T. S.

Amazing food! Worth the wait and good value. See you next week

N. M.

Possible I won't have Hash Broons this good until the next time I'm in town. Don't sleep on the house ketchup.

c. l.

Perfect place for a breakfast or a lunch, the food is delicious ! The staff is super nice, the menu changes every week and the products come from the market. Special mention for the grilled cheese sandwich, available all day, and for the tasty cakes!

T. H.

Food was astounding, so fresh and delicious full of flavour. Cooked on the spot. They went and fetched the fish right there and then from the market stall next door. Staff and chefs were so welcoming and accomodating, a hidden gem.

M. C.

Something very different. Excellent food. I had the confit chicken. Welcoming couple with imaginative ideas.Vegan dishes as well. An asset to Kirkgate Market. The menu changes weekly. I will be back

S. P.

Between us had the garlic chicken and a vegan burger, both gorgeous. The food at Owt shows a deep understanding of flavours and a passion for food. Highly recommended.

O. S.

Amazing food. I've eaten both meat, fish and vegan there. Always a new wonderful menu each week. I keep coming back for more

B. F.

Absolutely delicious food, always, and lovely welcoming staff. Seriously amazing grafters, the two running it. Guaranteed they will have something on the menu for you and guaranteed it will be yummy!

B. V. J.

WoWoWoWoW! I think I actually heard my tastebuds thank me after having a toasted cheese. Think Homer Simpson drooling level of satisfaction.🤤 The salsa verde should be sold it's so good and unlike brown sauce it's made in the UK 😉

A. C.

The vegan koftas were delicious! Great place for lunch if you are near the market. The staff are really friendly too.
