Kino is an award-winning independent restaurant and bar. Our food is inspired by French classics, with a bold Yorkshire remix.

Head Chef Josh Whitehead fires up an unmistakably creative kitchen with the best local, wild and seasonal produce. Our obsessions: imaginative cooking and absolutely banging flavours. And pastry.

Summer 2024: We are beyond excited to welcome top chefs and food writers for Staycation Festival, bringing the spirit of travel and sunny vibes to Leeds through films, live music and, of course, food and drink.

Join us for dinners and conversation with Marco Pierre White, Nigel Slater, Grace Dent, Angela Clutton and Bee Wilson!
