Visited here for the first time for Valentine’s Day, after hearing about its romantic atmosphere. Firstly, I must say, I absolutely agree. It is absolutely beautiful inside with candlelight and dimmed lightings surrounding. Secondly, the quality of service from the waitresses was outstanding; very professional and helpful. I’d only tried their set menu for valentines, but the food was overall good and well decorated, especially the dessert. However, as to my critical pallets, I thought the beef wellington was slightly too salty so I had to request lemon wedges to neutralise it. The dessert was overly sweet, like every part of it, so maybe an addition of an extra dimension of freshness could really uplift the experience(such as fresh fruit). Again, this was the set valentines menu, so not representative of their general menu, but I will be returning to try it. Lastly, I was surprised the bartender wasn’t able to make a common cocktail off the menu, maybe they didn’t have a bartender for that night as majority of people had wine & champagne instead. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a romantic dinner, or just in general.

If only Google Maps had a 6 star option - Kendell's Bistro is one of the most enchanting and delightful restaurants I've ever visited.From the moment my partner and I walked in to celebrate our anniversary, we were met by warm and welcoming staff with outstanding and friendly customer service skills. Every member of Sharon and Steve's team were great.The atmosphere of this bistro is leagues ahead of every other restaurant I've been to in Leeds. Lit by candles and decorated with traditional French art pieces, you truly feel in the heart of France - the aurora is truly romantic and magical in all the right ways.Once we were seated, we were treated to a complementary class of fizz which was a nice touch. After some olives to start, we had the Lamb Shank and the Confit of Duck. Wow. Both dishes were plated eloquently and tasted absolutely divine. 10/10.Having enjoyed our meal, we were reassured that we had the table for the rest of the evening, so we enjoyed some wine and soaked up every bit of the atmosphere.To conclude, the work and heart that Sharon and Steve have put into this gem over 17 years shows. With unrivalled character, charm and pure delight, this is what dining is all about.

We booked this whilst working in Leeds and disappointed we were not! The restaurant was quieter then the weekend I guess. For us it was perfect as we could easily converse and admire the surroundings eclectic but in a good way. The huge candelabra did its best to remind us of the Disney beauty and the beast. Lighting is based on candles giving a more subdued effect. The toilets are akin to the dressing rooms of the Moulin Rouge with the theatrical take on the lighting! The wine is excellent one of the choices is a pinot noir not cheap I think it was £85 a bottle but it was outstanding such a depth to it. We ordered some starters and bread. The bread and butter were just what we needed to start and a mixture of croquette de jambon, boudin noir and oeuf aux meurettes. All were hearty starters and devoured with aplomb. Additional surprise order was the escargot ideal for the 6 of us though 2 only really wanted to try them. We braved it given the impressions you get. They duly arrived underboastry and each one in a individual hole. Taking one each the garlic butter masks a lot and probably easier to digest. And all 6 were tried and none projected back out. The mains were steaks a tournedos de boeuf and classic steak au poivre vert. Add a few sides if what seemed like aligot pomme dauphoinoise and some broccoli. The steaks were well received and left no room for desserts bit we did have a cheeky cocktail. Service was great and a pleasure to share our good day with them. Well recommended as a place for charm individuality and service be it a lone diner, couple or group

What a great find! A relative told me about Kendell's Bistro, so I thought I'd give it a go. Steve Kendell is the head chef and owner and he has created a fabulous French bistro in the heart of Leeds. The food is perfectly cooked and the portion sizes are good; not the fussy small plates you sometimes get in higher end restaurants. I thoroughly recommend Kendell's for a great meal and fun night out.

A warm, delicate atmosphere with fast service and friendly staff. The food was delightful, tried snails for the first time and enjoyed them. The menu offers most of my go to French dishes - would definitely visit again especially to try the onion soup!

This was my second time visiting Kendell's Bistro. The food was still very delicious and I loved the onion soup very much.I was a little bit disappointed that they removed ox cheek and duck leg from their tea set menu.I hope they will add them once again while they change the menu next time :)
