Absolutely amazing restaurant. The service was second to none. The food was just perfect. I couldn't have wished for anything better. I highly recommend this place for all. Also very affordable. I proposed to my partner in this restaurant and they made it really special for us, with champagne and home made macaroons. They also presented it on a slate tray with "congratulations". Absolutely amazing
What an amazing little gem of a romantic restaurant in Leeds city centre. The idealised Parisian style was reflected in the decor creating a truly Authentic French experience. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented The staff were friendly and attentive adding to the delightful experience
For our 3rd wedding anniversary celebration, I chose Kendell’s Bistro after seeing it pop up in my social media. After several years of visiting my sister in Paris, I love French food. As soon I stepped through the door, I was in France! From the candle lit tables to the mouthwatering menu. Kendell’s Bistro is as good as, if not even better, than some of the places I have eaten in Paris. It did not disappoint. Obviously, I had to start with the French onion soup. My husband had duck liver pate. For our main, we both chose the slow roast duck leg with dauphinoise potato’s and green beans. I was really looking forward to having a dessert but I was so full from starter and main, I couldn’t let myself not appreciate the dessert to its full potential. So it was a lovely surprise when we received our bill, the staff looking after us, made our visit even more special with two complimentary petit fours that were presented beautifully on a slate that read “Bon anniversaire”. It was a lovely touch to an already wonderful first experience here. Next time, I will either share or skip the starter, as I have the sweetest tooth and I need to try the desserts! The mocktail I had was so tasty. Overall, I can’t wait to visit again. I’ll definitely bring my sister and her French partner when they next visit England. I cannot wait to share the experience of Kendell’s Bistro with them. I especially think her French partner will love to see sticky toffee pudding on the menu! Overall, to summarise my review, the atmosphere, service from wonderful staff and the food were 10/10. One word - flawless! I’m already excited for our next visit. A true Leeds hidden gem which I won’t keep to myself.
We have ordered tea time set menu. Portion okay even though it is french cuisine. Causal and informal without sacrifice on food quality. A bit too dark. For people need reading in good light, better read menu before coming.😂 Mood for chatting is fabulous. Staff are nice and well trained.
Brilliant food from starter to dessert. Made us feel very special on our anniversary. Servers brilliant and not overbearing. Very romantic and cosy ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!
