Whether you’re planning on impressing a new client or looking for a restaurant for regular meetings,
we’ve put together a quick guide to our favourite venues for a business lunch in Leeds.
Featuring everything you need from a chilled atmosphere to free WiFi, these restaurants serve some of
the best food in the city, which is also a must for creating a great impression!
Banyan Bar & Kitchen – The Old Post Office, 2 City Square, Leeds, LS1 2ES
Banyan is a stone’s throw away from the train station, which makes it ideal for a business lunch in Leeds
– especially for a client visiting from out of town. It’s a relaxed little place that serves delicious food and caters for specialist diets.
It’s never too busy or too loud, so its large tables are great for spreading your paperwork out and getting plenty done while you eat. The WiFi signal is strong and there are plug sockets everywhere, so there’s no fear of your laptop going down mid-meeting.
Gusto – 10 Greek Street, Leeds, LS1 5RU
If impressing your client is top of your list of priorities, then Gusto should be on your shortlist. The food
is contemporary Italian based on classic dishes, and everything on the menu is delicious!
Their lunchtime set menus of two or three courses allow you to order great food with the minimum of
fuss, leaving you more time to focus on business.
The Good Luck Club – 6 Wellington Place, Leeds, LS1 4AP
The Good Luck Club owners recognised the need for venues for business lunches and tailored their
restaurant to that market. They installed plug sockets in all the booths and made sure that the free WiFi
has enough bandwidth for everyone to use effectively.
But what about the food? Well, you can tuck into one of their spectacular burgers (we particularly love
the chicken and avocado) or try something a little healthier, like the smoked salmon and poached egg
salad – either way we’re sure that you’ll be impressed.
These are our top three choices, but there are loads of other great places to take a client, associate or
your team for lunch in the city – you could try The Alchemist in Green Street, Friends of Ham on New
Station Street, and Mans Market on Wellington Street, for example. Whichever of these great restaurants you choose, we hope that you’ll have a successful and enjoyable business lunch in Leeds… and of course you always have us if you need somewhere safe and convenient to park your car!
