Description: It's all about a different atmosphere. It's about good food. It's about good service and attention to detail.So no wonder the long-established Sous Le Nez is one of the most acclaimed restaurant and winebars in Leeds. In fact, our award winning basement bar and bistro - in a handy, city centre location - has been providing mouthwatering food to Leeds diners for over 15 years. Our wine list is as unusual as it is extensive, and our lunchtime and evening menus are creative and very popular. And our portions are huge too!

We had a really good meal here. Staff were very friendly. Good starters. Great main course. The highlight though, was their home made sorbets. Will return again, just to taste their bitter chocolate sorbet which was incredible. Only slight flaw. Could do with a few more vegetarian and fish options.

My partner and I had contrasting feelings about this place. I had been previously with some friends and had the early bird menu, which was a bit reduced but still enjoyable. Last night we booked a table thinking to go for the early bird menu, but were instead told that does not apply after 7. When we booked on the... More

A reduced menu due to oven failure can be understood but is no reason for poor service. The food was very ordinary. The fried goats cheese arriving swimming in a synthetic tasting tomato sauce with a few over cooked pale looking peppers, and the goats cheese tart had hardly seen the goats cheese and was a round of puff pastry...

One of my favourite restaurants in leeds. Always book! Fabulous atmosphere in the bar area after work, very busy and a haunt for the professional after work drinkers. Wine list tremendous and certainly takes some considered reading. Food exceptional,beautifully presented and very very tasty. Setting ie cellar set-up is great and the whole experience is one I highly recommend.

There was a family group of 9 and from walking in we were made to feel very welcome. The atmosphere was great busy but not loud. We had the early bird menu which more than satisfied all of the group from ages 8 to 61. The standard of the food was excellent from the starter to dessert. The service was... More

Booked for the Early Bird special to follow Saturday afternoon performance at Leeds Grand (The Full Monty). Fantastic performance by both establishments! Attentive staff and fabulous food at a very reasonable price. You have to vacate your table by 8pm, but we had plenty of time to enjoy our 3 course meal which includes half a bottle of wine at...

The menu was varied for both starters and mains and four fussy eaters easily found choices. The food was all delicious with interesting combinations and everyone liked what they had. The quantities are generous - there was no room for puddings! Friendly and helpful service. Would definitely go again.

Our return trip to Sous le Nez, 2 years + on, was at least as good as the first. The menu is perfect; great mix of fish, meat and veggie options and the wine list is very reasonably priced, as well as a great selection. The haloumi starter was absolutely delicious and banished any memories of rubbery cheese! My hubbie's... More
