Victoria Leeds has just elevated the elegance with a brand new addition – introducing Caffè Concerto.
Boasting one of the most exquisite interiors we’ve seen and a menu that celebrates the vibrancy of Italian cafe culture, Caffè Concerto hits the mark for food and ambiance. We went down to find out more about this elegant dining destination.
The Victoria Leeds opening is the latest in a long line of stunning locations for Caffè Concerto. They first opened their doors in 1996 on Regent Street, London. Since then, they’ve branched out internationally, earning a reputation for accessible luxury. And their Leeds branch is no exception.
“Leeds is an exciting, vibrant city with a deep appreciation for quality food and cultural experiences, making it an ideal location for Caffè Concerto,” Director Maher Al-Hajjar explained.
“Victoria Leeds, with its upscale retail mix and modern yet classic design, aligns beautifully with our brand identity. We believe that Caffè Concerto will be a perfect addition to this area, providing a space where guests can escape, celebrate or simply relax in a stunning setting.”

Step through the sleek glass doors and you’ll be greeted by soft ambient lighting, lush seating, marble surfaces and signature chandeliers. It’s a beautiful space to unwind, whether you’re popping in for a quick espresso pick-me-up or looking to wine and dine someone special.
Speaking of food, Caffè Concerto has you covered from sunrise to sunset, serving breakfast through to dinner. Of course, there’s also afternoon tea and delicious desserts thrown in for good measure.
The menu is a treasure trove of culinary delights, catering to all with veggie, vegan and halal options. Favourites include the Spaghetti alla Carbonara with its delectable balance of creaminess and saltiness from the smoked pancetta – finished with a breadstick for extra crunch. The homemade pesto in the Spaghetti al Pesto is so moreish, while the Braised Lamb Shank is rich, hearty and savoury.

To finish, we loved the bright pink Love Concerto Mousse. And as the winter draws in, you can’t go wrong with the Concerto Hot Chocolate. Creamy and comforting, there are few better ways to warm up.
You’ll need something to wash all that down with, and it just so happens that Caffè Concerto is renowned for its lavish beverages. Choose from a sommelier-curated collection of wines, refined spirited creations and signature cocktails.
Their latest cocktail innovation is the Love Concerto Punch, where tropical flavours meet a fizzy flourish. We were also impressed by the Berry Gin for its sweet but not too sweet fruity twang.
