First look inside 'stunning' new Leeds restaurant perfect for a special occasion
European-style restaurant chain Caffè Concerto has opened the doors to its first northern restaurant - and we've had a peek inside.
The brand recently announced that it had chosen Victoria Leeds as the location for its first venue in the north of England because of the city’s vibrant food and drink scene and the destination’s strong footfall, engaged visitors and high calibre food and beverage operators. Located within Victoria Gate Mall, Caffé Concerto diners can expect luxurious yet contemporary décor with a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The 2,000 sq ft restaurant features a grand art deco-inspired bar and gracefully hanging chandeliers which create a stylish and elegant look, meanwhile mirrors and greenery adorn the walls giving a sense of space and vibrancy. The venue has 138 covers and boasts outdoor seating onto Harewood Street, providing a stylish al fresco dining experience.

Diners can enjoy a wide range of menu choices including Italian-inspired classics, afternoon tea and luxury cakes, making it the perfect choice for a shopping day lunch, special occasion or Christmas party. Caffè Concerto director, Maher Al Hajjar, said: “We've been working incredibly hard to create a stunning new restaurant for our first northern venture and we are really proud of the result.
"We are very much looking forward to throwing the doors open to customers and welcoming lots of new people to enjoy the Caffè Concerto experience.”
Caffè Concerto’s first northern restaurant will be its 22nd outlet in the UK. The brand already operates 20 restaurants in Greater London and one in Birmingham’s Grand Central Station.
The restaurant joins an envious line-up at Redical’s Victoria Leeds of both international and local operators including The Ivy, The Ivy Asia, Cut & Craft and Le Blé. Rachel Bradburn, leasing director at Victoria Leeds, said: "Caffè Concerto’s decision to open its first northern restaurant at Victoria Leeds is a testament to our reputation as one of the UK’s most trusted luxury retail and leisure destinations.
"Its decadent menu, elegant decor, and vibrant al fresco space will elevate our food and drink offer, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences.”
Caffè Concerto bookings have been open since Monday, November, 25. Visit the website here for more information and reservations.
