Located on Argyle Street, Gloriosa is known for its Mediterranean-inspired dishes and casual dining setting.

Bavette in Horsforth, Leeds was crowned Britain’s Best Local Restaurant, having beaten off competition from across the country to take the prestigious title for 2024.
The Good Food Guide says it received an astonishing 60,000 votes from diners across the country, all keen to champion their favourite places to eat, leaving the expert judges with the difficult task of narrowing the list down to just 100 choices.

Good Food Guide editor Elizabeth Carter said: “It’s a new era for The Good Food Guide with a new look and a revamped rating system, but the Guide’s deep-rooted values remain exactly the same.
“There’s always been a lot of excitement surrounding our awards, and this year we’ve overhauled them to better reflect the fast-paced changes in Britain’s dining out scene.
“I’m incredibly proud of the entire awards list as every restaurant on it, not just the winners, sets the standard by which all others should be measured.”
