It’s that time again when we round up all the new openings coming soon to Leeds, so take a look, tell your pals and get planning.
We’ve caught wind of the five new places plotting their arrival in Leeds and we just had to fill you in. From all-you-can-eat Mediterranean restaurants in the Merrion Centre to pretty crystal shops in Leeds Corn Exchange, they’re all here. Which will you check out first?
La Fiesta
Things are set to hot up at the Merrion Centre with the arrival of the all-you-can-eat Mediterranean restaurant La Fiesta. Blending flavours from Spain, Greece, Italy and other countries where the sun always shines, you can expect a tempting array of dishes made using only the freshest ingredients, from seafood and pasta to a packed salad bar and churros station.
La Fiesta opens in the Merrion Centre this summer.
Quartz n All
Love crystals? You’ll love Leeds Corn Exchange’s new shop, Quartz n All. Owner Anna has popped up at markets around the city selling her wares, but this April, she’s set to get her bricks-and-mortar shop. You can expect all manner of beautiful jewellery and stones, from chakra bracelets to fire quartz towers.
Quartz n All opens in Leeds Corn Exchange on Saturday 5th April 2025.
Brew + Bao
Did you know that Brew York is launching a brand-new food and drink experience in Chapel Allerton? Working together with YUZU, Brew + Bao will occupy the unit formerly home to Black Sheep Brewery on Stainbeck Road. Punters can delight in over 16 different fresh beers, as well as a carefully curated street food menu including bao buns, loaded fries and lots more.
Brew + Bao opens on Stainbeck Road on Friday 18th April 2025.
Coffee Boy
With outposts across Castleford, Barnsley and Huddersfield, it’s only right that Coffee Boy’s bringing their delicious brews to Leeds next. Set to open in The Light, the self-described ‘funky’ coffee shop crafts all manner of delicious hot and cold drinks, from classic cappuccinos to fruity smoothies. It doesn’t stop there, though, because their wraps, pizzas and toasties promise a tasty lunchtime bite.
Coffee Boy will open in The Light, date TBC.
Little Lotus
It’s all happening at The Merrion Centre, with another new opening coming soon in the form of Little Lotus. Fresh, tasty food is at the heart of the restaurant, with sushi rolls, sashimi and colourful poke bowls taking centre stage. Craving something hearty and comforting? Steamy noodle pots and packed rice bowls are guaranteed to hit the spot.
Little Lotus opens in the Merrion Centre this spring.
