Anthony's 19 Boar Lane, Leeds, 0113 245 5922

At the heart of the kitchen's creative playfulness are dishes based on really good meat or fish, perfectly cooked. The flavours are clean and distinct, the service informal but attentive. Every plate brings excitement and laughter.

Is it a deli or is it a restaurant? Well, it's bit of both. We felt as if we were eating in a shop, as people came and went, shopping for their lunches or dinners, but the food's very fresh and utterly delicious. A pity it's open only at lunch.

Now celebrating its 21st anniversary, it's easy to see why it has prospered. Medieval setting, but cooking full of crisp, modern flavours. The menu changes with the seasons, featuring top-quality local produce.
