Balfour Kitchen - Leeds

Thanks Balfour for a relaxed birthday brunch. Great food and attentive service. Good wine list. My elderly mum loves Balfour because of the above, and the quiet warm setting.

Girls high tea before work, the food is different from other high tea, they are very nice and yummy but not a big serve, i did not have breakfasts, so i was still hungry after the high tea. We order extra entree - Charred octopus to share, we were not expected the chef put into 3 plates for us, especially during lunch peak time. $55 for high tea with unlimited non alcoholic drink is a little bit over priced, i guess we pay for the service. If they hv scone which will be prefect.

Been here couple of month ago. Very nice place on a  quiet street. Although hard to find a parking.   Restaurant is divided into 3 parts: inside, verandah and outside in a little snuggle courtyard. The deco is a little bit too dark for my taste, so we preferred to sit out side.    I think that were the only good things about the place. The food was fine (i had rice with crab  and my friend had big breakkie) , but not the greatest and quiet overpriced. I've been to the cafe next door (ponycat i think? ) that I found  much better. Coffee was burned. We were unlucky to get there in a rush hour and a staff member was just off her  feet trying to serve everyone   (although could have been a little bit nicer to us). I think it was an ok one time experience.

I was truly disappointed by the meal I had last night, first of all the pork belly was unavailable due to a busy lunch? Which meant only 3 from 4 mains were available, sorry but if you've sold out at lunch get more for your dinner bookings. I booked this table months ago! The fish was less than average and the potato undercooked. Come on, really how difficult it is to boil potatoes and par bake them? As a table of four we spent $550 in this establishment, the drinks were great, the entree of gyoza's delicious, but the mains not so much. My friend couldn't eat her steak as it was rare as opposed to medium rare. If you're going to present yourself as a fine dining restaurant please back it up by what you put on the plate.

I ordered a red balloon voucher for high tea. The booking was really easy. I was called to confirm and sent an email. We arrived and was surprised to find a renovated Queenslander. We were sat immediately on arrival at a beautiful table with a great view. We were given the drinks menu and ordered our teas. Within 5 mins our tea cane out as did our savoury plate. I enjoyed every item on the plate. The brioche buns could have been a little fresher. Then we ordered a second drink and our sweet try cane out. Needless to say we couldn't eat it all. Really enjoyed the different items on each tray. Nice not to have scones and have some different flavors to try. I would definitely recommend.
