Located in the heart of Leeds city centre, tucked away in Queens Arcade, Olive and Rye is a the perfect spot for a bite to eat while hitting the shops. Alternatively, it also makes a great place for grabbing take-out if you are in a hurry. Upon entering the cafe you are met with a bustling atmosphere, with the option of indoor or outdoor seating. You can enjoy either a cosy cafe vibe or sit outside to appreciate the characterful Victorian architecture of The Arcade built in 1889.
Offering a breakfast menu until 2:30pm plus an all-day brunch menu alongside sandwiches, soups, and a selection of homemade cakes and brownies, here you'll find nearly something for everyone (the menu also contains gluten free and vegan options). If you’re looking for a savoury breakfast tuck into a the O&R full-English with crispy pork belly, apple and fennel black pudding, and home made beans; or try the chorizo hash with sweet potato, spinach and fried egg. Have a sweet tooth? The brioche French toast with maple peaches and lotus biscoff is not to be missed.
If you’re heading here for lunch, there is a small selection of sandwiches served on ciabatta available. Tuck into the panko crusted chicken and mozzarella with chilli jam and herb mayonnaise or the mojo pork topped with Swiss cheese and chutney. If you are looking for a lighter bite, try one of the the Caesar or falafel salads.
Olive and Rye serves an array of homemade cakes and scones as well as brownies from Brown and Blond, enjoy alongside one of the speciality coffees made with Darkwoods coffee beans, or have a pot of tea, with a selection of loose leaf teas available to choose from. If you are celebrating or looking for a little luxury, treat yourself to a brunch cocktail or bottle of Prosecco.
