The biggest new restaurant openings coming to Yorkshire
We’ve pulled together the most exciting new restaurant openings coming to Yorkshire, and we’re welcoming everything from bakeries to fine dining.
This year has been a really exciting time for Yorkshire’s foodie scene, and we can’t wait to see what else is to come!
Biggest new openings coming to Yorkshire
Calluna at Saltmoore
This new intimate fine dining restaurant at Saltmoore will be opening on Thursday 15th October 2026.
Led by Saltmoore’s Executive Chef Adam Maddock, Calluna will offer an intimate tasting menu experience inspired by the landscape surrounding the estate, from the Yorkshire coast and kitchen garden to the wild beauty of the North York Moors.
Federal Café and Bar
York’s coffee scene is about to get a little more exciting as Manchester-born favourite Federal makes its city-centre debut on Coney Street.
Taking over the former Lush site, the much-loved café brand is bringing its signature blend of speciality coffee, all-day brunch and laid-back Australian-inspired hospitality to one of York’s busiest streets. Expect good coffee, generous plates and plenty of buzz when the doors open.
Tamper, Sheffield newest site
Original brunch hotspot Tamper has always been one of Sheffield’s cool places to be seen, and now we’re getting double the enjoyment with a brand-new site opening soon.
Details are still under wraps for now, but we’re looking forward to finding out more.
Caffè Brigante Ilkley
The team behind Caffè Brigante, the popular tiramisu café in Leeds, are bringing something exciting to Ilkley with the opening of a brand-new pizzeria on Brook Street. Set to open this September, the new venue will serve authentic wood-fired pizzas, bringing a true taste of Italy to the town.
The pizzeria will be located at 26 Brook Street, the former home of Yorkie Cow.
Mercato Sheffield
Stop what you’re doing! Domo, our favourite Italian restaurant in Sheffield, is opening a deli called Mercato on Green Lane this Autumn.
The team shared the news on Instagram, showcasing a playful open-production kitchen that brings together everything we love about the Sardinian restaurant.
Rotisserie Club
Rotisserie Club will be serving coffee in the morning, and then you can get your chicken-fix from lunchtime onwards, what more could you want? The coffee will be in collaboration with Habitum and it is set to open around the end of September – early October as 27 Wellington Street.
Paper Planes
Leeds is set to welcome a new cocktail bar, Paper Plane, in October, with hospitality group Palagander behind the project. Described as a “love letter to the analogue age”, the bar will draw on a nostalgic aesthetic while offering a contemporary drinking experience. They will play records on vinyl and take orders only with pad and pen, an effort to move away from the digital.
Paper Plane is expected to add to Leeds’ increasingly vibrant bar scene, combining its retro-inspired concept with a carefully considered drinks offering designed to appeal to cocktail enthusiasts.
Earls Yard
Located on Mathilda Street in Sheffield city centre is free to enter and provides the perfect setting for a hang out with friends.
This social venue is home to multiple street food vendors on rotation, plenty of outdoor seating and a stage for its frequent live musicians. Earls Yard is the perfect open-air social spot that acts as a community hub that provides a great night of good food shared with friends.
My Delhi, Leeds
Making its first move to Yorkshire, My Delhi will be joining Leeds’ vibrant restaurant scene just a short walk from the famous Greek Street at Hepper House.
Having built a successful name for themselves in Newcastle, Sunderland and Leicester, we cannot wait to try their famous kebabs cooked over charcoal in the tandoor and mouthwatering slow-cooked curries in September 2026.
Sticks’n’Sushi
Danish-based, Sticks’n’sushi is gracing Leeds with its award-winning sushi and Yakatori. Planned for opening in early 2027, we have a bit to wait for this taste of Japan – but we know it’ll be worth it.
Offering that Scandi serenity, this is the perfect spot to let the food do the talking and enjoy some exquisite Japanese cuisine down on Vicar Lane.

Trattoria Maria, Sheffield
From the creators of Bench and Bench la Cave, Jack Wakelin and Tom Aronica have opened the doors to Trattoria Maria, their version of traditional Italian dining, inspired by their Sicilian roots and childhood summers spent enjoying Italian cuisine.
Trattoria Maria is on Wellington Street, in the former Henry’s Wine Bar. You can expect their classic, open, sociable style of interior, but with typical Italian hospitality and warmth.
Brume, York
From the family behind El Gaucho York, Brume is a new coffee spot and wine bar come the evening, nestled on Walmgate.
This neighbourhood spot will be hosting run clubs and wine tasting events to get involved with, so there’s something for everyone. We’re looking forward to giving this new opening a try ourselves.
Ambiente, Beverley
Paellas, platters and Spanish-inspired tapas, Ambiente is a favourite for tapas in Leeds, Hull and York. Now they’re bringing Spanish flavours to the market town of Beverly.
