You’ve pushed yourself and resisted the urge of staying in bed that extra 3 hours and rejected the idea of not going in now and then to nurse the hangover from the 2 nights before. Yet still, even against these mountainous odds you’ve done yourself and your family proud and graduated with some form of qualification!

Malmaison

1. Malmaison

 

Recently refurbished and a favourite of ROL over the years, Malmaison offers the urban cool feel of their new bar mixed with some god damn awesome food! This city centre eatery has always been known for fine french cuisine, but with the refurbishment of the bar they’re no longer just for the business elite.

From Sierra Nevada on tap and cocktails at the bar to pan roast black Angus New York strip steak & truffle and Parmesan pomme fritte in the restaurant your celebrations will leave you in either a food coma, or carrying on in uni lifestyle for one last night! Malmaison gives you the high end celebration feel with some hearty food – Menu

 

Harvey Nichols Fourth Floor Cafe

2. Harvey Nichols Fourth Floor Cafe

Another of Leeds high end opulent options is the Harvey Nichols 4th Floor Cafe. If you’re looking for some award winning cuisine with service to match you can’t go wrong here. The relatively newly refurbished restaurant features statement mirrors and lighting with a wall of windows to look out over the Leeds skyline whilst sipping your celebratory champagne! They currently offer a set menu option – Two courses for £20, 3 Courses for £22 which you can view Here

Or the evening summer dining menu launches on the 4th July

 

Turtle Bay

3. Turtle Bay

If you’re looking for something a little more “loud”, and we mean that in the nicest possible way, Turtle Bay could be the place for you. Loud in flavour and loud in atmosphere you can’t go wrong celebrating here.  

The food tastes as amazing as they sound, choosing from a host of jerk pit BBQ or one pots, you’ll be celebrating the Caribbean way, well, if you exclude the Leeds rain! – Menu

Pintura

4. Pintura

 

Pintura covers all areas when it comes to dining out. Not only do they have a great selection which aren’t your everyday tapas selection but they wrap all this up in one of the nicest restaurants settings in Leeds. Just on the outside of the Trinity centre, Pintura quickly became a favourite of Leeds city goers when it opened, whether its for an evening meal or a quick stop for lunch. For graduation celebration we’d suggest going for the evening meal as they have over 100 gins on the menu…… we’d also suggest a taxi! – Menu
