Perched at the top of Victoria Gate and overlooking Leeds Kirkgate Market, East 59th comprises a modern restaurant, stylish cocktail bar and a Mediterranean-style rooftop terrace that boasts fantastic views of the city's skyline. Brought to Leeds by D&D Restaurant Group, this glamorous venue boasts insta-friendly interiors, an expansive cocktail list and a multitude of menus perfect for all dining occasions.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday with a meal in the restaurant or fancy a drink with a view on its beautiful rooftop, East 59th promises a stunning setting in which to eat, drink and socialise with friends. Similar to many D&D menus, the décor is all part of the dining experience, with the main dining room featuring a lush tree in the centre of the space, with tropical flowers hanging above guests while they dine. The rooftop, meanwhile, features fake grass, large umbrellas, wooden tables and pot plants inspired by holidays spent in the Med.
The all-day la carte menu features a range of Mediterranean-inspired dishes, while various food and drink offers run alongside this throughout the week. You might like to start with chorizo croquettes with aioli and lemon, or tempura prawns with sriracha mayonnaise. Main courses feature a range of burgers, grills and sharing platters, while other familiar favourites include fish and chips, squash risotto and a Caesar salad. Finish with a waffle sandwich with salted caramel ice cream.
East 59th is a great spot for indulging in liquid pleasures too, thanks to a nifty little option which allows you to add free-flowing bubbles or Bloody Marys for 90 minutes to anyone ordering two or more courses.
There’s a big focus on cocktails here, from beloved classics to exciting signatures. Look out for creations like 59th Fizz featuring gin, elderflower and apple, Prosecco and Blue Curaçao, or Peach Blossom made with peach and orange vodka, crème de pechè, Aperol, apple and lemon.
