Federal to open first Yorkshire outlet in Leeds

Leeds’ first ‘all you can eat’ Mediterranean restaurant La Fiesta has announced it will open its doors to diners in September.

The exciting new concept will launch with an exclusive preview night on Wednesday 10th September, offering a 50% discount on all food bookings from 5pm. This will be followed by the official public opening on Friday 12th September at 12pm.

Located on Merrion Way in the Merrion Centre La Fiesta promises to immerse diners in the culinary traditions of Spain, Italy, Turkey, and Greece.

Menus are priced at £27.95 for lunch Monday -Thursday and £29.95 from Friday -Sunday. Evening dining is £34.95 Monday-Thursday and £37.95 from Friday–Sunday.

Set across approximately 3,000 sq ft and seating up to 100 guests, the restaurant offers a unique service style and an all you can eat concept - with a twist - that fuses variety with fresh ingredients for an authentic Mediterranean experience.

Diners will begin their experience at a central salad bar with a wide choice of antipasti-style favourites, including classic Pinchos, Italian and Spanish cheeses, charcuterie, artisan breads, and Mediterranean-inspired salads. Tapas is then made fresh to order and served to the table in waves throughout the meal.

Guests can order an initial three tapas dishes followed by two choices at a time from the menu, which is packed with an array of classic tapas dishes, seafood, grilled meats, rice and more, allowing for a flexible and tasty journey through Mediterranean cuisine.

A dedicated churros station complete with a flowing chocolate fountain offers a sweet ending to the dining experience.

Speaking about the launch, director, Masud Rana, said: “La Fiesta is a unique place where people can come together to enjoy a wide range of delicious Mediterranean food in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, whatever the occasion.

“We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to create a fantastic dining space and vibrant ambiance, and we are hugely excited to reveal all to customers in the coming weeks.”
