Anthony's Restaurant

Anthony's brings a breath of fresh family air to the Leeds culinary scene, with Anthony Flinn, recently of El Bulli and The Vineyard, and his partner Olga, with Tony senior and sister Holly in charge of business and front of house respectively at his new eponymous restaurant. Anthony was hailed as "a new Gordon Ramsay" at a ceremony where he was presented by Albert Roux with the Remy Martin overall Excellence Award in 2004, the youngest winner ever.

This is a team that could take a lot of holding and the word is to keep an eye open for great things. The menu smacks of an imagination well under control but bursting to try new ideas once the clientele has firmed up.

Starters could be dressed salad of crab with a green pumpkin seed praline or an Anjou squab with jabugo ham and pink grapefruit drops. Salt cod features amongst the main courses as does suckling pig with jersey royals and a mango flavoured jus, or for something rather different roast breast of duck with olive oil and chocolate bons bons. A serious wine list repays attention, with house wine at £18.50 or by the glass.
