The Station Inn Apartment

From baguettes to bavettes, there’s something so overtly French about this terrific neighbourhood bistro that it’s a wonder they don’t have the tricolore flag hanging outside. Its unlikely location in the Leeds suburb of Horsforth is a result of the relationship between Leeds native Sandy Jarvis and Frenchman Clément Cousin, who met while working in some of London’s top restaurants. Cousin runs the chatty service, while Jarvis is in the kitchen working on proudly Gallic classics – expect to spot delicious renditions of the likes of 'oeuf en meurette' and 'Paris Brest'.
