    A LOCALS GUIDE OF WHERE TO EAT, DRINK AND SLEEP IN YORK

    I am ever so proud to call York my hometown. Born and bred in this city, I beam when I tell someone this little piece of news.

    It’s steeped in so much rich history that it’s hard not to get lost down cobbled streets and find yourself in old castles and towers that are within a few hundred yards of one another. It’s so different to your usual UK city break because you feel like you’ve stepped back in time ever so slightly, it provides that sort of escapism I think we all need from time to time.

    With bars, hotels and more popping up all over the place I wanted to let you in on some of the best kept secrets that are hidden behind those city walls!

  • THE “IT” RESTAURANT TO BE SEEN IN: THE IVY, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    THE “IT” RESTAURANT TO BE SEEN IN: THE IVY, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    Our meal was provided to us free of charge in exchange for an honest review. 

    This place is now the “IT” restaurant to be seen in. The Ivy Leeds. It’s has brought a slice of the famous London restaurant scene up here to the North and there’s plenty more popping up left, right and centre. It begs the question – is it loosing it’s exclusivity? But fear not, the moment you walk in to the restaurant you are met by warm hostesses to check you in and lead you through the closed-door in to a festival of colour and 1920’s elegance that is the décor of this place. If anything, this place is a feast on the eyes! We hoped the food would also follow suit.

    BAR & GRILL AT THE DAKOTA DELUXE, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    BAR & GRILL AT THE DAKOTA DELUXE, LEEDS | QUEENBEADY

    When we had the pleasure of staying at the Dakota Deluxe Leeds last month (you can read my review here) we were also treated to a wonderful meal at their very own signature restaurant, the Bar & Grill which is situated inside the hotel. They have their very own bar, which is oh-so very elegant and was already quite busy at 8.30pm, so we decided to skip pre-dinner drinks and head straight downstairs to the cosy, speak-easy style restaurant in the cellar.

  • MARCOS ITALIAN, LEEDS REVIEW | QUEENBEADY

    MARCOS ITALIAN, LEEDS REVIEW | QUEENBEADY

    MARCOS ITALIAN LEEDS

    Just under two weeks ago we stepped foot inside the entrance of Marco’s Italian, or, “Marco Pierre White New York Italian” to be exact. The home city of Pierre-White himself it only seems fitting to open up a restaurant here in Leeds for the local’s to enjoy. It’s location is a little bit out-of-the-way if you didn’t know it was there and is attached to the Ibis Style’s hotel just need Leeds Direct Arena so it’s great for catching a bite to eat if you are seeing a show or concert. I’ve always been a little sceptical of hotel restaurants but luckily, the Firelake at the Radisson Blu changed my mind on that earlier on this year. When I was invited I had completely forgot that I had already been to the same chain in Oxford, so I was hoping this visit would blow me away and be a little more memorable!
