"This is a restaurant where the food should be savoured, meaning a visit should be an end in itself, not the 'eating part ' of a night out it 's a foodie heaven. The tasting menu gives little away with regard to the dishes being served; it just lists the main items with no pretentious descriptions, which is great! Each new dish is a surprise even though one knows what the food items are. For example, there 's no indication in Fennel, Rice, Pea, Mint that it 's presented as arancini. Each dish was prepared to perfection and the quality of the produce shone through; I found myself eating things I had previously thought I didn 't like beets and radish, for example but not even the beauty of the arancini could cut through my loathing of rice. My loss, I suspect : The senior staff were knowledgeable and friendly but we did feel a little rushed on occasion when the more junior waiting staff tried to remove plates before we 'd finished with them, however this only happened twice in nine courses. I really enjoyed the fact that the only real decision I had to make about my meal was which of two desserts to have; the tasting menu stands on its own, although there are a couple of specials available, one of which we added on since the menu is for two and we were three. Absolutely outstanding porchetta from locally raised pigs, cooked to a melting, buttery perfection. I shall certainly be back."

Absolutely gorgeous food and very friendly service. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to have an entire vegetarian tasting menu, and my boyfriend enjoyed it too, even though he's usually a carnivore through and through. The Radish, beetroot, rhubarb and labneh dish was outstanding. Will be back!

This is the second time I have been here after 6 years and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent, friendly and knowledgeable service. It really felt like the lovely staff were looking after you. Brilliant menu with an interesting choice of dishes, you will probably come here and have something you have never had before and love it! Delicious food and great restaurant setting. I’ll definitely be coming back when I am in Leeds again. A really special place.

when I arrived, the restaurant did not have my reservation since opentable had not passed it on. I appreciate that they no longer work with this restaurant, but not to pass the bookings they have taken is very negligent. when it happened, they could fit us the same night, although over an hour later and on a table that was not ideal. you failed to pass on this booking would have led to a ruined birthday meal for my partner. the restaurant saved the day, but I would not recommend their booking service to everyone.

"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."
