LA GRILLADE. LEEDS

This restaurant is an absolute favorite of mine. When dining out, especially in today's world of 'branded' and 'famed' establishments, one can be hard pushed to find somewhere where every element of the meal lives up to the  imprint made by the last morsel or sip... enter La Grillade.
Being a self-confessed food lover (the hours I spend in the gym to counteract my ever-bulging eyes and well fed thighs are justification to this statement) I cant help but over-indulge in the comforting french food this place has to offer...
 
Mussels to start (with endless amounts of bread to soak up every last drop)
Fillet steak (rare, of course) with traditional french fries and green salad
  
The best cheese board in the world (and if you're nice to the waiter you can sample every single one before you commit to choices)

I can never leave without having the creme brulee, and a mouthful of everyone elses sweet-tooth choice too, does it really need to be said?
Just go and EAT! I hear Alan Bennett makes a regular impression on the seat of his chair here too.
