This restaurant made the lunch time list due to the ease of order, great service and delicious food. Salvos Café is a sister eatery from the main Salvos Italian located just a few doors down.

This small dining area provides the perfect space to enjoy some fine Italian food. As they say themselves, the real taste of Italy is available in Salvos Salumeria. If you are a sandwich fan, you can expect to enjoy some delicious meats such as prosciutto and salami, all wrapped within delectable Italian baked breads with freshly cut salads and ripe tomatoes, giving you a true Italian lunch time bite to eat. If you are looking for something less carby, Salvos Café also offers a good range of salads that are made fresh only using natural ingredients.

If you happen to be in Headingley around lunch time, I would recommend Salvos Café as it provides the perfect spot to enjoy a quaint, relaxed and delicious dining experience.
