I don't think he'll be that much trouble. His wife on the other hand...

Went to Gusto on Otley Old road a couple of weeks ago after a few recomendations, was very impressed. Everyone was smart casual without being too poncy, service was great, prices reasonable and food very enjoyable. Its also child friendly, we had 2 12 year olds with us. We had a party of 10 all of whom really enjoyed the evening. Its Italian with the normal pasta and pizzas but plenty of other choices including steaks which looked great and a pretty big fish selection.

What about the Stansfield at Apperley Bridge - good food early bird £10 before 7

Yeah, you have basically got it spot on there.
Like Phil said, I would book a table as it has never been quiet while we have been in.

If you do go there, the feta cheese and herb parcels are gorgeous as a starter, although Danny prefers the sardines.

Like I said earlier though, we haven't had a bad meal there.

There's also an Olive Tree at Chapel Allerton (but unless you are in the north of the City, the one in Headingley will probably be closer).

I hate Greek food

I just thought I'd add that.

I like greek yoghurt though, funny that.

Me too, it's terrible, they have a real problem with their meat in Zante. Jesus it's f-cking rank.

It all started in Rhodes in 1979...

(screen goes all wavy...)

Theres me sat in a taverna and I saw my mates plate of moussaka and thought it was shepherds pie, so I ordered it, took a great big forkfull of aubergine base layer...


...and gipped it all back out again.

Jesus wept I've never tasted anything as foul then or since.

And their bread is usually stale too.

Nah, the Olympics is every 4 years!!

SLN is on the shortlist now.

Is that the place by the river near Woodhouse Grove (and about 2 minutes walk for you on a dinner time)?

If so I used to park by there a couple of times a week to go running - back when I was allowed to run (and in 38 weeks will be able to run again) and went in the pub once with John, Danny & Emma but only for a drink.

My friend's son is chef there, and her daughter is a waitress!

La Grillade - Just off Wellington St. French place specialising in steaks but does a lot of other stuff. Totally unpretentious, very friendly staff, really convenient for the station, not too pricey and the food is divine (though not a great amount of choice for veggies).

Gare Girl swears by it (and being French they don't seem to mind).
