La Rambla

Occupying a prime spot in the centre of Leeds, La Rambla's promise of delivering honest, flavoursome Spanish cuisine will tempt visitors from far and wide to step inside. Set in a Grade II listed building, the rustic and warm atmosphere invites all to relax here for an evening. Music quietly plays in the background and soft lighting gives the restaurant a warm glow, as do the smiling staff who are always on-hand with their helpful and friendly service. La Rambla is fast building a reputation among locals as the go-to place for tapas. When it comes to the food there are no tricks here, just authentic, traditional tapas inspired by the flavours of sunny Spain. The chefs themselves are Spanish so diners will be served expertly cooked authentic dishes derived from Spanish regions. The extensive menu boasts attractively presented options such as aubergine and cheese with balsamic reduction, served on toasted bread, Spanish sausage cooked with red wine and onions, and lentil soup garnished with potatoes, carrots, chorizo, ham and paprika and topped with sherry vinegar. Among the many tasty choices on the menu are traditional favourites such as freshly made seafood, meat or vegetarian paella, fluffy homemade Spanish omelette with alioli, smoky chorizo on toasted bread, and patatas bravas - fried potatoes topped with bravas sauce. Make the most of the light-lunch-for-two deal available Monday to Friday until 4pm, whereby four tapas dishes with bread cost just £12 per couple, while three dishes to share are £9.95. Sticking to the theme, the restaurant also serves a great selection of Spanish beer, wine and liqueurs - not to mention jugs of fruity Sangria, which can be whipped up in no time. Rather than just reading about La Rambla, why not go and sample the mouthwatering food for yourself
