Brasserie Blanc - Leeds

One of the greatest pleasures in life for celebrity chef Raymond Blanc is sharing a good meal with family and friends. He achieves this through Brasserie Blanc, where his team take great joy in serving authentic French cuisine in a modern, brasserie atmosphere. All their dishes use the finest ingredients, sustainable freedom foods, free range and natural or wild produce.

With six outlets, the brasserie retains the individuality of each of the locations, while maintaining a uniform standard of food and service. The menu has several signature dishes like Maman Blanc's miscellany of salads, pumpkin and kirsch risotto and Burgundy snails in garlic herb butter.

Some interesting mains are local sausages with spring mash and mustard butter sauce, Aberdeenshire rump steak and chips, Dutch calf's liver served with roasted vegetables and of course, Raymond's trout and salmon fishcake with creamed leeks. There is a healthy selection of childrens options also.

The wine list is French in concept, but includes New World wines, and offers over forty-five varieties, including the house wine, ensuring there is something for everyone. In addition to a range of French cheeses, selected by the Premier Cheese Company, you could settle for their favourite dessert, baked Alaska with flaming Grand Marnier, to end the meal on a sweet note.
