Upon arrival at the Empire Cafe in Leeds, you will notice signage from a bygone era and inside awaits an intimate, simple dining experience complete with a refreshingly simple menu.
The Empire Cafe was transformed from the former La Strega Cafe on Fish Street in Leeds city centre by Chef Sam Pullan. Back in October of last year he and a team of builders discoved the 'Empire Cafe' sign which is thought to date back to the first half of the 20th century.
It's small, really small, but offers an affordable bite to eat and a range of classic cocktails - with a bartender on hand to make you a custom choice.
