Le Chalet French Tea Room

We went here twice for brunch when in Leeds for the Rob Burrows Marathon. It’s a lovely place with great, friendly service by a top guy (sorry didn’t get his name) Lots of healthy choices (I had porridge 1st day, wife had frittata with cheese & mushroom) but the deluxe breakfast was reeeaaaalllly good! Pressed juice was delicious. My wife had the mango smoothie both times. Will defo go again when next in the area and highly recommend. Shame it wasn’t very busy either time, we went around 11am both days. Deserves to be packed out.

Lovely blueberry pancake with yoghurt and a small amount of strawberry pieces. A very light crumb / texture which was a pleasant surprise. Not as squidgy and bouncy as you expect from a buttermilk pancake. More like a cornbread sort of texture. Sadly my pancake was a bit less blueberry’d compared to my friends. It did amuse me that it came as one giant pancake vs a stack of smaller ones. Either prices are outdated on the printed menus or they overcharged us for our juices and drinks. The orange juice was listed as £3 on the menu but when they put it in at the till they charged us for £4.2, unfortunately didn’t scrutinise the receipt too closely until later. Service was a bit unfriendly.

Lovely little gem! I couldn't find anywhere selling coffee with oat milk before 9 am in this area, so this was like a God send to me this morning. The cappuccino was hands down the best drink I'd had all day too. I also snapped a cute pic of the sign hanging in the window while I was there because I thought it was really thoughtful.

The Cha Lounge is a new establishment based on healthy eating and ethical food sourcing. It is small, rustic and relaxing. There are hot and cold beverages, freshly prepared with no or minimal processing of ingredients. There are both hot and cold foods and plenty of vegetarian options. Many of the options are snack or street type foods especially Indian. The premises are very clean as are the washroom facilities. A great place to just drop in, enjoy a light meal and or a drink.

I love a good quality breakfast and I’m so happy to have found this place. It’s now my goto place for breakfast when I’m in Leeds. Every item was cooked to perfection, those tomatoes were the most flavoursome tomatoes I’ve ever tasted. The scrambled egg was seasoned just right. The owner Mandeep so super friendly and welcoming. It’s clearly run by a team who are passionate about making good food and providing a nice place to eat it in. I would highly recommend this place to anyone stopping in Leeds. I will return again 100% Thanks again for a great breakfast.
