Description

Ambiente Leeds opened in 2012 in a historic Grade II listed building in the city center. With its bare brick walls, stripped floors, and exposed steelwork, the restaurant offers a casual dining experience inspired by Spain's tabancos. Our talented chefs cook tapas to order in a fire-breathing Josper oven, while the bar area is perfect for enjoying a glass of sherry or wine with a light bite. Guests can also relax on our south facing balcony overlooking the River Aire, making it an ideal spot to savor some tapas and sherry on a nice day.

Did not book but the guy did tell us that we may have to wait a while before been served. Luckily we were served almost straight away but appreciate the advanced warning. The food was really good and service were great Fran was a lovely waitress. Would definitely go again

I have to say, this restaurant was a huge disappointment. We had booked for a group of 12 and arrived with high expectations, only to be let down. The service was incredibly slow, taking about 20 minutes just to take our drink orders. Although the sangria took a while to arrive, it was very basic and lacking in flavor. The rest of the meal was equally disappointing, with all the dishes blending together and lacking in taste and effort. The portions were tiny, even for tapas standards, and some dishes were greasy. The paella was bland and the seafood version had very few prawns. Overall, the experience was lackluster and left me feeling disappointed. If I had to compare, I would say this restaurant is as authentic to Spanish tapas as Taco Bell is to real Mexican food.

Was recommended this restaurant via a food allergy group on Facebook as a place which is really good at handing allergies. I'm so glad I took the chance and visited! My dairy allergy was handled so well, the staff were really confident, clearly knowledgeable and checked each and every time they delivered the food. I was made to feel welcome rather than a difficult customer as everyone else usually treats me. The drinks were amazing, such a great selection and the food was out of this world. I can't tell you which was my favourite as everything was just divine but the chorizo with potatoes was something else!! Nice atmosphere, not too quiet or too loud, staff attentive but not overbearing. Really couldn't fault it at all. We'll definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Vegan options lovely chorizo amazing !!!! However... what on earth were the vegan empanadas ?!?! Spring roll rather than an empandas ??? That was our main issue .... Along with mushrooms not very creamy... We liked their effort to try something new with tapas but didn 'tLove! Toilets they needed a clean! On surface they looked clean but all around toilet various shades of colour and along with mould is there a damp issue there that needs seeing to?

We had a fantastic meal. First we were welcomed by very friendly and helpful staff. The food we had was of good quality and the portions were plentiful. Pan Catalan, Datiles, Albondigas, Gambas, Calamares, Chicharron and Champinones with a couple of drinks and two Cappuccino's plus service which was optional the bill was £78.98. I have to say we could have done with two less Tapas, so when we go again we will order less. Thanks again to the staff for making the evening very special.
