"We spent a little while looking for Cantina including looking around the back of the building for an entrance, however that seems to be an upstairs sometimes only offer [shrug]. The Old Red Bus Station is a city centre bar on Vicar Lane in what was until 1990 a bus station complete with a newsagent. It is now a grungy industrial bar which is open late into the night/morning. There are bench tables near the entrance door and we opted for the darker atmosphere in the back. I won burgers for two in a Christmas competition and only paid for our drinks. I needn't have booked as the bar was quiet even on the Thursday afternoon before Christmas. The menu can be downloaded and I hope to add a 2023 screenshot. The Christmas special burger was off so we had two Spicy Chick N Stacks, with fries. Also Vocation IPA and a bus station pilsner. The food arrived promptly with a smile. The french fries were perfect and we really enjoyed the burgers. Be advised that they really mean it when they call them spicy. One diner ditched the pickles which the other ate. I see from the menu that the second burger is only £1 on Thursday which means great value for 2. We enjoyed our visit and I will certainly return for a quick bite and beer whilst out in Leeds. Especially on Thursdays. Probably not somewhere I will go for a romantic destination meal."

Had a couple of burgers there, pretty basic and could be served warmer to be honest. Deep fried basic Junk food .

Great that it’s an all vegan menu, the food is good quality but the portions are relatively small. It’s fair for the price but if you want the wow factor for a higher price, would recommend Doner Summer which isn’t far away.

Used to love it here, the menu has changed over a LOT in the past few years and is now much smaller than it used to be. There are a few items that I miss (including the wider range of burgers they used to serve back in 2018/2019) but for the most part, what they have left on the menu is solid, good quality fast food at a decent price. I recommend the seitan nuggets and macaroni cheese!

I’ve visited Cantina quite a few times I’ve had their Sunday roast and more recently the burgers and more snacky foods. They’ve recently had their buy a burger, get another for £1 offer which is a great deal! They don’t accept cash, though. The staff are always friendly and attentive and the food is good. However, there’s always something that makes me dislike it here the place is usually too cold, too noisy and the toilets really need revamping! Updated from previous review on 2023 05 21

Been wanting to go here for a while so was excited to finally give it a try! A good location and a cool venue, however, the signage was a little confusing as we followed the signs to go upstairs to find out its downstairs only. We got the sriracha cauliflower burger and the hash down burger along with poutine fries. We didn’t realise that you got fries with the burgers so we got the poutine to share so we were overloaded with chips lmao. Both burgers were amazing, the cauliflower Pattie worked really well and the seitan patty in the hash down was sooo good. The hash down in general was amazing, the cheeze and the onion sauce and the hash brown worked so well together. The chips were great, c...

I really wanted to like it here but the food was just not for me. We ordered the loaded combo for two and it was just trays of deep fried everything including seitan, cauliflower, arancini and even deep fried olives! We ended up picking off most of the batter as it was just too much. The smacked cucumbers were nice and zingy and the hummus was ok but not amazing. I think it would have been much better if the olives and seitan were not deep fried to give a bit of variety to the platter. We probably should have read the menu more carefully to be fair, but I can't imagine many people wanting to eat that much deep fried food in one sitting! As for the drinks, there's a good selection of vegan be...

"My son expressed his desire for a restaurant that wasn't too fancy or too casual. It's always a challenge to gather grown-up sons for celebrations when they are spread out, especially when you're unfamiliar with the restaurants in Leeds. After scrolling for hours and exchanging options, we finally settled on Gallery 41, which happened to have a 20% off deal on all food for certain days in November - perfect for N's birthday. After a long journey and a chilly afternoon at Kirkstall Abbey, we were ready to eat, and boy, did we eat well. The olives were a hit with my sons and husband, while the garlic bread was described as some of the best they'd ever had. The Skin Fries were a crowd favorite, so much so that we almost fought over the last ones. The main dishes were equally impressive, with the meat eaters raving about the Spiced Pepperoni and the Vegetarian option wowing my husband. I couldn't resist the Florentina pizza, a personal favorite of mine. Dessert was a hit as well, with everyone indulging in their sweet tooth. The atmosphere at Gallery 41 was perfect for our family gathering - quiet, cozy, and conducive to good conversation. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I look forward to returning with the rest of my family and indulging in more of Gallery 41's delicious offerings. In the end, it's the simple things like family, good food, and quality time together that truly matter. Thank you, Gallery 41, for a wonderful dining experience."
