Me & my best friend had brunch there for her birthday treat & the 5 course taster menu with cocktails was soooooo good! Great service, beautiful venue, music & the food was delicious and I even loved the oyster in tequila with caviar! Couldn't fault it and they even made me different cocktails as I don't drink gin thankyou! Great value for money and highly recommend you to go there! I can't wait to go to the restaurant now lol cheers guys awesome Saturday afternoon! � xx

We had the 5 course tasting menu in the bar last night. Each course was interesting and tasty, especially that venison dish! We had it with the drink paring which worked wonders. I really recommend this place. The service is also very good and we were looked after brilliantly. Can't wait to go back

I tried things I would never choose on a menu and everything was amazing from service to taste! Would defiantly recommend to anyone as a lovely treat ❤️ Thank you to the staff for amazing service will defiantly return 👍🏼

We visited here on Friday for my birthday with friends. Amazing cocktails downstairs, and the staff cannot do enough for you. We then had the 8 course chef menu, which was both beautiful and delicious. Would definitely recommend to everyone. I will be returning.

Treated as a VIP as soon as we arrived. The team couldn't do enough for us. The arrival cocktails were so perfect and served with finesse. We were seated at a gorgeous window table and the menu was explained. A 7 course chefs menu was absolutely perfect. Each dish described to us with knowledge and passion! The chefs worked silently in the open kitchen, the dishes that they created were tasty and beautiful. We left with big smiles and full tummys. Well done guys for delivering a shared vision, your passion is obvious, everyone needs to come and share this experience you provide.

A hidden gem. Hands down the best place in Leeds to enjoy a very good glass of Old Fashioned, Signature Negroni and their very own twist of the Manhattan, Catchcherry in the Rye. Thank you Dean, for the amazing cocktails! Will definitely visit you guys when I'm back in town :)

A wonderful dining experience which was provided with great food, an interesting wine float and excellent service. With any premium dining the price is somewhat irrelevant, the food was well thought through and we found that the drinks package matched the flavours well. The service was great and the staff knew the flavours and could articulate and comment on their views of why the pairing complemented each dish.

100% go here instead of Six by Nico - You will not regret it! On a Sunday you can get a 5 course meal (plus complimentary snacks) for just £49, with an optional wine pairing flight for £35. The food is just fantastic! Delicious & interesting, and whereas at some fine dining restaurants you will leave feeling hungry, that would never be the case at V&V! The portions are very generous! Amazing value for money! Go check it out! Support this small, independent business run by an incredible Chef (he’s done Leeds proud on masterchef the professionals too!)

Me and my partner decided to choose here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint. From the moment we entered we felt welcomed and appreciated. Ordered the Sunday Lunch Tasting Menu and each dish just complimented each other. Thank you Chef Jono and the whole team for a great experience and we hope to see you again in the future to try another one of your signature menus, p.s thank you so much for the signed menu, we both loved the added touch 😊

It's good but left me feeling like I wanted slightly more and slightly less, cheese board was overly huge, roast beef yorkshire pudding macaroni cheese, was great if I'd been in my local pub but wasn't what I expected here. Yet the risotto was brilliant. The service was friendly and helpful but disappointed by the music which was too loud for us as they where trying to fill the whole restaurant from one speaker and we where close too it, I suggest more speakers lower volume on each. Lighting, it took us a while to realise that we where occasionally pitched into darkness and then brightly illuminated again, it was all to do with the hot lamps for the kitchen going on and off very off putting. Overall, I've been before and will probably go again but on this occasion was slightly disappointed.

We had Sunday lunch here today and it was great. The food was really good, and it was fun to bring the fine dining/tasting menu concept to a Sunday roast. We particularly enjoyed the vinegar butter and the lamb/pea/mint course. Good selection of cocktails on the menu. The service was brilliant: a really friendly and attentive team added to the experience. Very much deserving of a Michelin Guide recommendation, so it's a shame it didn't make it this year. One suggestion: too many potatoes were served with the beef: as part of such a large meal, I think a couple of less potatoes per bowl would be absolutely fine (you could always offer extra if required). Good playlist too!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday lunch tasting menu. Each unique course was packed with flavour and the presentstion of each dish was fantastic. My fiance had the vegetarian menu. He said each course was some of the best vegetarian food he has tried. The service was prompt and attentive. The paired drinks were perfect too. We recommend Chef Jono at V&V to anyone who enjoys great food. I was so busy enjoying the food, I forgot to take photos!

Top quality dining experience, the tasting menu has a great variety to it and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a special evening out. The restaurant has a personal feel to it and all staff work hard to provide a great experience.

Overall Jono at V&V was a worthwhile experience. Some really good food and friendly service. Not particularly expensive and certainly not a place I regret spending an evening. The Good Bits Overall the food was really interesting. We had the 5 course menu. The chicken liver cereal was an interesting deconstructed ‘pate on toast’. The roast onion and Parmesan was tasty with great texture, like a chunky French onion soup, but not a soup!The haddock was good too as was the chocolate dessert (not a fan of eating ants though!!) Staff were really friendly and attentive, without being overly intrusive. The Bits that could be better The ‘sweet and sour’ chicken wasn’t great. Let down I think by bad chicken. Stringy, tough and not in the same league as the rest of the meal. Only part of the food experience that was below par. Was surprised it left the kitchen like that. Asked about dessert wine as there isn’t one on the wine list (there is a perfectly good Muscat in the wine flight). Was pointed to the digestif section which had no wines at all on it. Odd that a server would think a desert wine is the same as a Baileys, port, brandy or a Kahlua -but they did serve us a glass of the muscat. Lastly, the lighting is a touch on the bright side. I’d be tempted to get some decent white table cloths and tone the lighting down a notch. But maybe I’m just being overly picky!

The taster menu was a great mix of different tastes and flavours. Staff were excellent and the setting is lovely tables not to close together so not too noisy. We were here for our sons 21st and couldn't have been a better choice. The joy of a taster menu, aside from variety is that you have a full 3 hour evening of chat, food and drink. What could be better.

Had the Signature menu with the wine pairing and everything was perfect. The staff were excellent and put us at ease the moment we walked in. It's fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere and make sure you are hungry if trying the 8 courses as we are stuffed. Thank you Jono for a great birthday.
