I’ve been lots of times. Always lovely. Extensive menu. How ever the portions are too big - no room for dessert! I love the moody lighting but I could barely see my food - I like to use all my senses when dining. The temperature of the restaurant could also always be a degree or two lower. However I shall be back wearing super lightweight clothes, not having eaten all day & I may have to use my phone torch more than usual!

A fantastic French restaurant with amazing food and very attentive staff good for gluten-free options. The drink surprised very reasonably for a restaurant but some of the food is on the expensive side but that won’t stop me going again and would thoroughly recommend anyone else.

The candle lit atmosphere was cosey, but made it very hard to read the menu - needed the torches from our phones to read it. Staff were friendly. We had the set menu. Overall the food was nice, but not amazing, and we would have welcomed some vegetables with our main courses. We had to pay a supplement for the steak but it was tasty. The pork was soft but quite fatty and bland. There was a lot of salt used in every dish -we needed to drink a lot of water with our food. Overall pleasant but not amazing.

Kendalls Bistro has always been my husband and my favourite restaurant in Leeds. We were given a very warm welcome by Sharon the Maitre d. We were celebrating both a 50th and 60th birthday and the service and attention to detail were outstanding. We love the chabby chic environment which has a real buzz and great atmosphere without being too noisy. The food lived up to past experiences with Steve's culinary skills at their best. We ate fish and meat dishes and everything was delicious. We had a few complimentary treats before and after the meal which just added that extra special touch. We will definitely be back again soon.
