a modern restaurant lounge-bar serving retro british classics like prawn cocktails and lamb hot-pot.

located in the heart of the city, close to the station; room was much publicised, both locally and nationally, when it opened. the restaurant has an energetic feel to the place, due in part to it's colour scheme, which has a strong emphasis on purple. there is also a distinct sense of grandeur, not least in part due to the wonderful listed building in which it's housed. it's not to everyone's taste - but it definitely seems to have met with approval of the glamorous leeds in-crowd.

it has been desrcibed as "an exciting new concept embodying funky glamour" and probably has to be seen to be believed. most self-respecting restaurants will not have served up anything from this menu in a very long time, if ever, and while the dishes are overpriced, room is still well worth a visit if you're out with friends.
