Scotch Bonnet in Leeds is a hidden gem! Tucked away (I'll be honest, I needed Google Maps), it has a really cool, casual vibe. The space features warm lighting and colorful artwork, creating a friendly atmosphere that feels both modern and comfortably relaxed. It felt very welcoming, like a neighborhood spot you could quickly feel at home in.

Their menu is packed with classic Caribbean dishes, but with some exciting twists. They had all the favorites – jerk chicken, curry goat, rice and peas – but also some interesting seafood options I'd love to try next time. One photo shows a perfectly plated Escovitch fish, looking incredibly fresh and vibrant. I went for the oxtail stew, and it was rich, tender, and full of flavor.

What makes Scotch Bonnet special is its authentic feel without being pretentious. It's the kind of place perfect for a casual weeknight dinner with friends, a lively celebration with family, or even a solo meal if you want some flavorful comfort food. It's new, so go check it out before word really gets out—it deserves to be a Leeds favorite.
