Leeds restaurant Kino closing down after just two years
A Leeds city centre restaurant will be closing its doors for good after only two years.
Kino was launched with the backing of Opera North in New Briggate in September 2022, in the renovated Grade II-listed space beside The Grand Theatre. It serves up locally sourced food, including charcuterie, cheeses, poached pears and goose sausage rolls.
It will be closing for the final time on Saturday, December 21. The restaurant said it had been a 'really difficult decision,' adding they 'sadly just couldn't make it work'.

It's been a really difficult decision. We're looking at new opportunities to use our big, beautiful space, but for now it's goodbye.
"Huge, huge thank yous to everyone who has worked so hard in the Kino kitchen, and to everyone front of house. And thanks to YOU for supporting us. ALL our love, the Kino team."
