"We feel honest about Le Chalet is one of the best kept secrets in Leeds! This was our third visit and it became more and more pleasant every time we were! The staff (especially the owner/manager) is an absolute pleasure. They are always very friendly and welcoming plus, they know how to give each customer this personal note when providing their exceptionally high customer service and always with a smile. Nothing is cumbersome and they couldn't come any more! We have always appreciated ourselves in Le Chalet and this occasion was no exception! The selection of options on the menu is sufficiently large, so there is really something for everyone with many unique items that you fight to find somewhere else! During this visit we had the hot afternoon tea that we can no longer recommend! It was literally the best Afternoon Tea we ever had in every sense of the word! The portion sizes are fantastic, the taste and the aromas are purely exotic and the presentation is mesmerizing, so the whole setup excellent value for money! Special highlights for us were the chicken pasta bakers and the shells that were super freshly decorated and served. Every single article on our Afternoon Tea was exceptional quality and that is quite accurate! Le Chalet also had a wide selection of beautiful teas with a whole range of fabulous flavors. If you gently open the petals as if they flower in your drink when ordering the jasmine fairy tea is an extraordinary extra touch and bizarre quite entertaining. Le Chalet itself has a very special atmosphere and we felt very relaxed and comfortable during our visit! The layout, distributed on two levels, has a bit of balcony feel to it and is spacious, bright and warm furnished for all seasons. The magnificent chandelier hanging above the lower part adds an exquisite air of the class that is almost stunning when you see it first. What Le Chalet gives that something extra though, is the little touches that make you feel good! On the counter there is a small bowl of tiny folded pieces of paper perched with a small shield above, which says a quote. This little gesture made us feel not only satisfied, but, really inspired and we think that is a rare performance for a café / restaurant! If you haven't visited yet, you have no idea what you're missing. We are looking forward to our next visit! Le Chalet is not only the jewel in the crown, it is the precious pearl!"

"Disappointing. We have had many nice meals here so was looking forward to our evening back here. First thing we were waiting mins for water and drinks which we had asked for twice. Second thing was our starters had arrived … the table next to ours had already sent back their calamari starter as it wasn’t cooked enough. Our calamari arrived and we asked if it could be cooked a little more so off it went never to return. My daughters starter had also arrived but as she ordered something different after mins of waiting for ours to arrive she tucked into hers. Eventually managed to track down a waitress to ask where our calamari was it turned up in takeaway boxes. Off it goes again … another mins I had to again try and grab a waitresses attention to ask where our starter was. By this point we’ve been at our table nearly an hour and a half. I said enough was enough as there was no sign of our food arriving and if we could have the bill minus the service charge. The manageress came over as she had been told we weren’t happy and in fairness could not apologise enough. I did explain things would have been better if their staff were more focused on customer service and just keeping customers informed as to what was going on etc as it was so obvious how long we were sitting there without food .. or drinks ! They did not charge us for our bottle of wine or the one starter we had. Overall I think they were having a bad night as we were hearing other tables complaining and as we were walking out the door another customer was asking for the Manager. I hope they get back to how they were as it’s a lovely place to go."

"we visited here on the day we moved out of liverpool to the south. we decided to treat ourselves to a nice meal before we drive to the house to crash for the night and to buy and unpack the next day. we did not know the area and decided to make only one trip and see what we found. we stumbled on a road sign for the lions in wendlebury. when we arrived, the building looked absolutely beautiful from the outside, the hanging baskets made it really so inviting and beautiful and the flower colors were really nice and gave a fab scent. so first impressions were really good. we went in and were pleasantly surprised, we asked if they had space for us, and they did. the host asked if we had been before what we said we had not done so that we showed the three different restaurants from which we could choose, and there is really something for everyone. from a bar/sub area, to a chic restaurant area, to a fabulous escaping area in the open. we decided to sit outside as the night was glorious, and we sat next to the kitchen and facing a beautiful open fire, the furniture was comfortable and clean and very well presented and well maintained without seeing a mark on the glass table top. the waitresses were incredibly attentive and polite, nothing was too much to ask, and the service was fast and to a very high standard. the eating was extraordinary, the children's meals were of an extremely high standard and the adult meals were perfect. the kitchen was open, and we could see inside and the place looked flawless. there were always people who care about eating as soon as the bell went for the service, and there were many employees milling to meet the needs of the customers as soon as they were needed. the atmosphere was also wonderful. it is now my favorite place to go for everyone, and if someone needs a master class, how to do things in a local operation to accommodate all culinary experiences, then this is the place to visit. everything from external and internal facilities was perfectly clean, well presented and well thought-out. I can't judge this place high enough and if they haven't been, they have to visit. a job that is well done by all."
