"Spent in the afternoon in Leeds and had heard from this place, it won a Good Food Award this year. I booked a table and we ordered a chicken carving, that was one of the daily specials and a veggie burger, we split a Polish apple cake with ice cream. I was lucky to have cooked a great house Polish food, but that was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and had so much taste, the attention to detail was top, it was more like restaurant quality food. The Veggieburger must be the best I tasted, and the chicken was also hearty and tasteful. The way they eat there with flowers or the drizzle on the dessert looked great There are many parking spaces on the streets nearby and it is not too far from the center or the highway by car. Prices reflect the quality and presentation of food. The restaurant is beautiful and there is a relaxed atmosphere here. I would book in advance if the guests left, another reservation came and that was Saturday noon. Thanks to Monika our waitress for the advice and attentive service and Luke for creating these wonderful meals. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this amazing small restaurant for all"

The warm welcome from the friendly couple who own the restaurant are only outdone by their incredible food and the passion that goes into providing truly excellent food. We really enjoyed the personal touch of being able to chat with the chef about our food as we ordered. We tried the pancake, pierogi, and zurek special and thoroughly enjoyed every bite of each dish this place is something really special.

Driven past this place loads of times, finally popped in for lunch, glad we did. We shared a meat platter, a soup called Zurek and some garlic potatoes. The platter was Poland to a T, sausage, meat spread and cheese with pickles. And the soup was served in a loaf, like clam chowder, but with sausage, egg, bacon, potatoes and carrot. It's not often I find a dish I've not had before, but, I will be having it again. Excellent, thanks Neil, (he's the man behind the counter).

The veggie burger was possibly the best I've ever had, and the chicken was hearty and full of taste. The presentation of the dishes, with flowers and drizzles on the dessert, was visually stunning. There are plenty of parking spaces nearby, and it’s conveniently located not too far from the city center or the motorway. The prices reflect the quality and presentation of the meals. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, creating a relaxed atmosphere. I recommend making a reservation in advance, as it was quite busy—another group arrived while we were there on a Saturday afternoon. A special thanks to Monika, our waitress, for her helpful recommendations and attentive service, and to Lu...

This restaurant offers a wonderfully cozy atmosphere with a friendly and professional family-run staff. While it's not the cheapest option, the experience makes it well worth it! The food embodies the heart and soul of Polish cuisine, enhanced by the personal touch of the owner, who is a culinary artist. Each dish is bursting with flavors and evokes beautiful memories, especially for those familiar with Polish cuisine, featuring delightful pickles and spices. The meals are not only well-cooked but also beautifully presented. And the blueberry cheesecake? Wow, it was something extraordinary! Light and flavorful, with the perfect sweetness. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Be sure to make a reservatio...

"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."
