Mad Frans Bar
We're open from breakfast through to lunch, dinner and everything in between, making Mad Frans bar and restaurant the perfect spot for a business brunch, post-work cocktails or evening out. As well as keeping our friends fed and watered, there's plenty of things going on at Mad Frans Bar. We know how hard it can be organising an event, that's why our function room in Leeds is free to hire.

With a restaurant menu that caters for vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and carnivore tastes, we've combined a passion for honest, Yorkshire cuisine with a fine dining experience - amongst the city's bustling financial district. The fast-paced enterprises around us inspire our up-to-the-minute menu featuring simple yet spectacular twists.
Services
Whether you're after a full-English, swift sausage sandwich or a coffee and croissant to go - we've got you covered. Our take on meal prep. Build your own lunch around what you fancy, or grab a freshly made snack from our deli counter. For those times when you want to sit back, relax and let someone else take care of the washing up.
We would love to welcome you along to sample fine food and a large selection of wines, fizz and cocktails to accompany your meal. Initially launching on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5pm, we have a menu that covers all pallets and if you book early enough you can take advantage of our early bird offer - 2 courses from 16.95!
We know how hard it can be organising an event, that's why our function room in Leeds is free to hire. The open plan space has capacity for up to 180 people and can be configured according to your vision.

Naturally, the team at Mad Frans Bar and Kitchen firmly believes that good food can 'make or break' an event, so you're invited to meet with our chef to discuss your ideal menu - whether that's fine dining or finger food - and we love a challenge!Of course, what you're drinking can often be just as important as the main event - and that's why we're particularly proud of our Instagram-worthy bar!
Hotly tipped as the 'up and coming place to be', Mad Frans Bar and Kitchen is right in the centre of Leeds' financial district. Just a stone's throw from the city centre (three minutes, we've timed it) we're the place to go when you've forgotten #MealPrep or you want to swerve a soggy processed sandwich.

First visit here and will DEFINITELY be back. Me and my boyfriend both had the lamb shank (new on the menu) it fell off the bone 😋, the mash potato was silk like in texture, from the first bite I knew I wanted dessert. Sticky toffee was on the menu and it did not disappoint! The staff are supper attentive, lovely and come across genuinely friendly. The atmosphere is fab, trendy but not intimidating, the restaurant is clean and still has a good amount of room between tables for those concerned with social distancing. 100% will recommend! Thanks for a lovely meal.

What a fantastic venue with helpful staff and amazing food. We held my 40th party last night and it was amazing. The guests loved the venue, cocktails and food and the doorman was fab too. Thanks for making my night so special. 😍

Booked a table here with 8 of my colleagues a few weeks in advance. Great communication with Staff who also kept the kitchen open for us to have food later which was brilliant (had to preorder food but was no trouble, paid on the day) Food was lovely and the drinks weren't too expensive. Great Staff and lovely experience. Highly recommended 👌

We went on the crazy day of England playing Croatia in the Euros. Was expectedly very rowdy, but the staff handled it excellently. The food was lovely and so were the beers.

This place was recommended to us by a friend and we weren't disappointed. Excellent food and great service. Decent prices too. You can't go far wrong with the Truffle and Parmasan cheese mac bites as a starter, easily big enough to share. The roast beef main was delicious. We'll be back soon.

One of the best Sunday lunches I’ve had in a while. The beef was cooked perfectly as were the roast potatoes. My wife had the vegetarian option which was also superb. I’m into craft beer and there was a decent selection to choose from.

Great ambience split level - friendly and efficient service and Mushy peas and pie was pretty special- recommended as not over priced either

The atmosphere is nice here and looks good inside.
The service is rather lacking though. They didn't serve drinks individually, just put them all in the middle of the table, they also got my order wrong and didn't want to change it, they just dismissed me when I told them.
The food was okay, nothing special though. Could have been better, such as providing toast with the English breakfast, and full cups of tea, they skimped on the hot water.
