Valentine’s Day Dining Deals in Leeds
Blackhouse
31-33 East Parade, Leeds LS1 5PS
Leeds’ favourite Grill on The Square is running two sensational Valentine’s Day dining deals this year! From the 6th to the 19th of February, diners can enjoy a 500g Chateaubriand, thick-cut sirloin fillet with fries, a choice of sauce and a bottle of Malbec to share. Blackhouse is well known for serving extraordinarily good steaks so this is bound to be delicious and it’s priced at just £99 for two!
Blackhouse will also be running a special Bottomless Brunch menu on Saturday 11th and Tuesday 15th for £45 per person. Tuck into two delicious courses from their set menu and wash them down with unlimited beer, wine or soft drinks. I tried the regular Bottomless Brunch at Blackhouse just a couple of weeks ago and it was superb! A short but carefully crafted menu of tasty dishes plus 90 minutes of bottomless booze. I had the steak sandwich pictured above and it was as good as it looks.
Grand Pacific
City Square, Leeds LS1 1PJ
Another one of our favourite dining destinations in Leeds is the fabulous Grand Pacific at Queens Hotel. With its stunning interiors and meticulous attention to detail in both food presentation and service, this restaurant never fails to deliver a memorable experience.
This Valentine’s Day, Grand Pacific has given its already exceptionally good High Tea a romantic twist. Enjoy an afternoon of sumptuous savouries and decadent desserts for £25.95 pp with a choice of tea, £34.95 pp with a glass of Moet or £32.95 pp with a 200ml bottle of Sparkling Rose (or a cocktail if preferred). Valentine’s High Tea is available from 6th February to 19th February.
The Ivy Asia
55-57 Vicar Lane, Leeds LS1 6BA
The Ivy Asia opened its doors in Leeds just a few months ago and I was lucky enough to be invited to sample all its delights! My first experience at The Ivy Asia was a memorable one so I would personally recommend the venue to anyone seeking a date night with a difference. The photos and videos of the interiors you will find all over your social feeds do not do this spectacular venue justice. The restaurant is absolutely stunning and the food is served in an equally theatrical fashion.
For Valentine’s Day 2023, The Ivy Asia has launched a special set menu priced at £75 per person (available 10th – 14th February). On arrival, guests will receive a glass of Veuve Clicquot Rose Champagne and then get to tuck into three courses of Asian-inspired dishes that are as impressive to look at as they are to eat. Begin with three small plates to share between you and then choose your preferred main to be enjoyed alongside sides of chilli noodles and steamed broccoli. For dessert, The Ivy Asia has created a special Valentine’s Day dessert. Pink Dragon is designed to be shared and comprises soft-serve pink ice cream, passionfruit doughnuts and raspberry pearls.
Sky Lounge
Granary Wharf, Leeds LS1 4BR
Offering unrivalled rooftop views across the city, Sky Lounge Leeds offers one of the most romantic settings for a meal for two in Leeds.

This Valentine’s Day, Bulgogi Grill is offering a special set menu priced at £39.95 per person. Start with Korean sushi and vegetable dumplings served with soy sauce and wasabi then cook beef, pork, duck, prawn and seabass on your tabletop grill and enjoy unlimited Korean sides.

Sakku
5 St Peter’s Place, Leeds LS9 8AQ
Whether you’re an avid fan of Japanese cuisine or you have never tried it before, Sakku is a brilliant dining spot with Instagrammable interiors and a fantastic all-you-can-eat offering.

Pizza Punks
Times are most certainly hard and many of us can’t afford to splurge on fancy meals and costly cocktails. If you want to take your other half out for a bite to eat but don’t want to splash the cash, then a pizza date for two might be the answer! Our favourite pizza place in Leeds is offering a cracking meal deal on the 13th and 14th of February. For just £22, you can get two pizzas and two cocktails at Pizza Punks, Leeds.
We love the pizzas at Pizza Punks and you can add as many toppings as you like for no additional cost. The cocktails are pretty good too, especially the Love Hearts cocktail which is garnished with a treat-size packet of retro sweets. Leeds’ Valentine’s Fair is back this year and we can’t think of a better way to spend Valentine’s Day than with an evening at the fair followed by a pizza!
Fazenda
Waterman’s Place, Unit 4-7 Granary Wharf, Leeds LS1 4GL
Treat your other half to an authentic Gaucho dining experience at Fazenda this Valentine’s Day! Fazenda’s all-you-can-eat meat experience is available for lunch (£33.90 pp) and dinner £55.90 pp) but we recommend booking in the evening as this higher-priced option includes a larger selection of meats. Take a seat at your table and immerse yourself in the authentic ambience of this brilliant rodizio restaurant where your table-side service of grilled meats can be controlled with the use of double-sided cards.
Place your card green-side up to invite Fazenda’s meat chefs to deliver fine cuts of meat to your table and flip it to red to indicate you need a break. There are always loads of tasty sides to pair with the endless selection of succulent meats and Valentine’s diners (13th – 15th February) will begin their experience with a glass of sparkling wine and end it with a fabulous selection of Brazillian sweet treats.
