This is the second time I have been here after 6 years and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent, friendly and knowledgeable service. It really felt like the lovely staff were looking after you. Brilliant menu with an interesting choice of dishes, you will probably come here and have something you have never had before and love it! Delicious food and great restaurant setting. I’ll definitely be coming back when I am in Leeds again. A really special place.
Wow! This was an outstanding, superb dinning experience in every level.
We were impressed by the authenticity and quality of the food. All the dishes were unique and incredible, not one single disappointment. So many layers of flavour and texture. Very pleased to see such a creative selection of non-alcoholic drinks.
The cosy atmosphere and service were the icing on the cake. Perfect.
This restaurant is far, far superior to others within the same price range in Leeds. We'll certainly come back!
Our new favourite spot!
Everything about this place is lovely - the menu so well considered, the atmosphere relaxed and the service attentive and welcoming.
If it's still on the menu - make sure to try the ox tongue.
We enjoyed it so much we've booked again for when my parents come to visit next weekend :)
Third time we've been and our favourite place in Leeds. Really wholesome approach to a restaurant experience, warm and welcoming and feels like you're being treated in someone's home
Went for dinner, with three courses for £29.50. The menu was short, and seasonally focused. I particularly enjoyed the ox tongue for main, which was tender, and served in a beautiful rich sauce. Service was super friendly and laid-back. Can highly recommend!
Excellent standard of food with a brief yet confidently simple menu. Intimate atmosphere; akin to visiting a friend or neighbour, rather than a bustling restaurant.
Would definitely visit again should the opportunity arise.
A place for people who like to eat.
In this day and age we are bombared with fancy plates and gimmicks to give the impression of fine dining. This is not this place.
The swine that dines is a place for people who love food. Uncomplicated dishes that shine in your taste buds. The freshness of ingredients, the balance in the flavors, the sheer LOVE in the food is palpable. All this combined with the amazing service and cozy place make for an unforgettable dining experience. Best place in Leeds hands down.
A gem of a restaurant in central Leeds. Everyone must try.
Every dish is perfectly made and so delicious with really interesting combinations.
I'm here as I write this. I'm just so blown away I just had to write about it while the flavours are still pouring around my mouth and Van Morrison is singing in my ear. The Swine That Dines has just sky rocketed into the number one slot for restaurants in Leeds as far as I'm concerned.
Jo and Stu are quite simply in a league of their own. They do what they want, as it pleases, and oh my gosh it pleases. I'm into some of the fancy upmarket restaurants further towards the center... But the cold hard truth is, the pale in comparison to the homely vyb, good times and exceptional food found in this humble 5 table eatery on the border of the city centre
It's personal, it's beautiful, and it's oh so tastey. Chat to Jo about the food, she'll tell you all about it. Perfect front of house service.
I had the ox tongue (the menu changed regularly) and it was without doubt the best dish I've had in Leeds.
The wine list is amazing too!
Just get yourself booked in.
Cannot praise this little local gem enough. Offering some of the most interesting food in Leeds, and with such friendly and personable service from Jo as well, who always makes time to make you feel like your table is the only one in the place. The ultimate compliment was when we took French friends to the Swine, and they raved about the ox tongue in particular! Most recently, had an excellent black bream fillet and a lovely home-made cordial too, highly recommend this place.
