Located three and a half miles north of Leeds' city center, El Bareto's proximity to the courses of Leeds, Moortown, and Headlingley Golf Clubs make it an ideal choice for dinner after a day on the links. El Bareto is a cozy, family-run tapas bar and restaurant that caters to vegetarians and those with allergies. The restaurant serves traditional Spanish-style small plates of vegetables, seafood, chorizo and meat, along with paellas for two to share. The restaurant's recommended plates include duck with caramelized onions and goat's cheese. El Bareto offers an extensive list of Spanish wines, available by the glass or bottle, along with a selection of champagnes. Vouchers for special offers, such as reduced-price bottles of wine, are available regularly on the restaurant's website. El Bareto opens for dinner every evening except Sunday.
The Orchid Lounge is located in the heart of Leeds' shopping district, just outside the Corn Exchange shopping center, and a three-minute walk from Harvey Nichols. The stylish restaurant offers authentic Mediterranean food and Spanish tapas, with cured serrano ham specially flown in from Spain. Along with traditional tapas, the Orchid Lounge offers more unusual fare, such as razor clams and Moorish-style kebabs, accompanied by a cocktail menu and selection of desserts. Live Spanish music is featured on Thursday and Saturday evenings, making the restaurant what View Leeds describes as "the perfect place for a romantic meal with a loved one."
