The Ivy Guest House - Near Roundhay Park

Housed in a former mill, along with a beer hall and cocktail bar, this unpretentious restaurant attracts a young and lively crowd keen to sample its wood-fired cooking using a grill imported from the US. Utilising fire and smoke to enhance quality produce is the name of the game – with the 1kg côte de boeuf on hand if you're feeling flush – but the kitchen isn't afraid of adding in bold flavours too, as evidenced by the nduja with the oysters and the gochujang glaze on the crispy pig tails. Pleasingly, there's plenty of choice for vegetarians too.
