Taking root in `994 Roots and Fruits is now an institution, showcasing the very best of fresh fruit and veg through creative and delicious plates of food.
Sitting proudly on the historic Grand Parade in Leeds, a stone's throw from The Grand Theatre and Opera House and the city's Victoria Quarter, Roots and Fruits is an imaginative choice for a meal out in this bustling northern city. With its huge windows letting in plenty of natural light, and the work of local artists adorning the walls, this snug café is a cosy and welcoming stop off on a day out.

Hearty and wholesome food is the cornerstone of Roots and Fruits' menu, with starters like goat's cheese fritters with homemade onion marmalade, and spiced spinach and onion pakoras served with yoghurt dip. Bigger plates range from burritos packed with veggie chilli to lasagne with creamy mushrooms and feta, with plenty of soup, sandwich and jacket potato options. For something to finish the meal, try a slice from the wonderful Roots and Fruits cake selection on the counter, or a board of thoughtfully sourced cheeses.
