#5 All things sweet at Kaspa's Desserts, Leeds



Indulging in chocolate sundaes, ice cream desserts, waffles and more; we jumped at the chance to satisfy our sweet tooth cravings by visiting Leeds best and newest ice cream parlour last week. Bringing with it the new hype and glamour in all things sweet, Kaspa’s Desserts will simply not disappoint.

Nestled inside the The Core shopping centre there is something of a sweet tooth takeover; an explosion of sweet treats that will leave you every bit pleased that a visit to Kaspa’s Desserts was in fact a moment of genius. The reason is simple, the food is just as good to look at as it is to eat. Just as pleasing on the eye, the only problem you will face here is a distinct satisfying case of over indulgence and whisperings of cross table food envy.

The quality of food is excellent, prices are very reasonable and the service was fantastic. The menu is busy, but that does not compromise on flavour. There is a whole range on offer here and the variety appears to be an endless mix of toppings, sauces, sprinkles and flavours. We sat down to our seats and ordered a freshly baked peanut M&M® waffle covered with a rich and warm chocolate sauce and smooth strawberry ice cream. It tasted amazing and looked fantastic. Next up, the deliciously soft New York style baked cheesecake finished with a Brulee glaze and made with a super tasty Madagascan vanilla bean. It doesn’t stop here; the menu endlessly tempts the taste buds with cakes and puddings, glittering and show stopping sundaes and colourful milkshakes and smoothies. On top of this, and by now struggling, we ordered a hot fudge sundae. It came with warm fudge pieces, chocolate and vanilla ice cream with a Belgian chocolate sauce. Just like what had come before it, it tasted excellent. The hype surrounding this place is true and can only be truly appreciated by taking a visit. We left knowing full well that we will be returning soon.

Serving up deliciously sweet flavours on big plates and tall glasses, Kaspa’s Desserts is definitely one to try!

We headed down last Saturday to meet owners head chef John, business manager Justina and their four-month-old Black Market restaurant. Taking on a grade 2 listed renovation challenge and being told the job would be complete in 12 weeks, it wasn’t until September last year and six agonising months later when the first guests to Black Market arrived through the door. The wait had been worth it - Black Market is small, bright, modern, chic and every other word imaginable to describe a cool and trendy independent eatery in the heart of Chapel Allerton, Leeds. The look and feel tick every box, but it is the food which makes Black Market stand out as one of the most exciting places we have visited in a long time.


Without labelling its food, John and Justina are open about what they want Black Market to achieve. They are humble about its early success. They are taking small steps each day and appreciate every success which comes their way. ‘We didn’t want to l…

#25 Fine dining at Harvey Nichols Fourth Floor Brasserie and Bar

The Fourth Floor Brasserie and Bar at Harvey Nichols Leeds is something of beauty and charm. Expect fine dining in super cool contemporary surroundings with a selection of small plates that are served and decorated in style with taste that will simply not disappoint.
Capturing the seasonal feel and cooking with local ingredients is always a recipe to success and tonight we were getting exactly that. The food here is top end and it can’t be without question that Harvey Nichols is putting just as much thought into their food as they are their fashion.


The small plates from their bar menu are reasonably priced (expect £6 – £8 per dish from the kitchen with snacks and desserts a little less) and cover a range of flavours and tastes. For example some of the dishes we were trying this evening included a cured salmon with avocado mousse, beetroot and horseradish to a picture-perfect pork belly, guacamole lime and crispy shallots to the super rich and almost heavenly pecan chocolate brownie…

#14 Visiting Sukhothai

Sawasdee Ka! Five-star food treatment is exactly what we got after visiting the award winning Sukhothai restaurant in Leeds last night. Meaning the ‘dawn of happiness’ Sukhothai did exactly that – as both of us were overwhelmed with the quality of food and service which was presented to us.
We settled at our seats in the busy restaurant located on the South Parade in Leeds. We ordered drinks – namely the bottled Chang so familiar with this fabulous part of south east Asia - before reading through the menu and ordering our food this evening. It must be noted that the list of food at Sukhothai is extensive and truly authentic (owner and head chef Ban Kaewkraikhot opened her first UK restaurant in 2002 in Chapel Allerton following 8 years of running her restaurant in Bangkok).
Having decided our starters, we were not waiting long until we were served our food. First up was a Satay Gai consisting of skewered and grilled tender chicken served with a deliciously smooth peanut sauce.We also …
