Chef Patron and Creative Director of El Gato Negro, Simon Shaw, has returned to the city he credits with kick-starting his career, with the launch of his third restaurant, El Gato Negro, Leeds.

We’ve been pleased to document the journey from Simon’s announcement in July to the media launch in October, when we were thrilled to host 26 of the city’s key media at an intimate press lunch.

We’re been blown away by the response enjoyed with widespread praise for restaurant seeing El Gato Negro shortlisted twice in the acclaimed Oliver Awards just three weeks to follow opening.

A five-star review in the Yorkshire Post, exclusive feature interview and inclusion in Leeds List’s round up of top 2019 launches are some of the many coverage highlights, with extensive lifestyle coverage confirmed for 2020.

Bookings can be made online at www.elgatonegrotapas.com/leeds/ or by phone on 0113 322 0763.  The 200-cover restaurant can be found at 35 Park Row, Leeds, LS1 5JL.
