About Pintura Kitchen And Bar

Pintura kitchen and gin bar, inspired by the food-crazed Basque culture.

Painting an authentic portrait of Spanish tapas and cuisine.

Pintura Kitchen And Bar Description

Pintura (Spanish for ‘work of art’) is a brand new kitchen and bar concept in Leeds City Centre, inspired by our own experiences working and spending time in the food-crazed Basque region of Spain.

Our aim is to paint an authentic portrait of Spanish tapas using traditional recipes and artisan ingredients combined with bold and modern flavour combinations. Located in the heart of the city centre in Trinity (behind Marks and Spencer), we are set over four floors with vibrant décor, evoking the feeling of San Sebastiàn.

Our Head Chef Greg is lucky enough to work with some of Spain's most incredible ingredients to create dishes that hopefully capture the spirit, passion and energy that the Basque people have for their food. The menu is modern, authentic Basque cuisine, inspired by the culinary epicentre of Europe.

We have converted our basement into our very own gin bar, serving over 100 different gins, each served in the Spanish 'copa' style, a 21oz goblet chosen to really compliment & highlight the botanicals, each with their own individual tonic and garnishes chosen to bring out the essence & character of each gin.

For parties of 8 or more we offer speciality sharing dishes such as a whole suckling pig, a milk fed leg of lamb or a cider house steak (weight dependent on number of diners). We do require at least 48 hours’ notice to prepare this menu, to enquire more about this please email info@pinturakitchen. co. uk or call us on 0113 4300 915.

really enjoyed our meal and the staff were friendly and helpful.

User

Wow! What a perfect meal we had last night. The food was outstanding, aperatif style cocktails and wine both excellent and the service was just about perfect. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

User

Went to their Experiencia Gastronomica the other day and was amazed with the techniques, quality of the food served, wine match. I have learned so much about how to cook traditional dishes from the Basque Country and what to buy to get the best result.

It was also very interactive and that is essential to get the best of the guests attention.

Definitely the best culinary experience I have had in Leeds.

User

This is by far the best tapas in Leeds - I’ve been coming here for so long and it’s my go to whenever I’m in Leeds whether I’m with friends or on my own - food is gorgeous, service is always excellent! I’ve never had a bad meal here! Also try their special events - the 7 course cheese and wine night was one of his best food and wine pairings I’ve been to!!

User

Me and my mother really enjoyed it, the customer service was 1000 to non and all the staff was polite and friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. I will definitely recommend the restaurant to friends and family and I will definitely come back again.

User

Just had my first visit to pintura in a while, the food game has stepped up so mush! unbelievable. Big shout to everyone there.

User

I won a Facebook competition for myself and a friend to have an experience day at pintura. The food was amazing! And plenty of it the portions were more than enough and tasted so good. We also got to try all the different wine that they have which complemented the perfectly. I will definitely be back again. Thank you for a lovely day.

I was surprised yesterday evening by my partner who travelled back from working in Wales to take me out for my birthday. I have been hinting for 18 months that I have wanted to go to Pintura and finally I got to go! Firstly, we were taken downstairs for a drink before being seated at our table, we were greeted by a very friendly man behind the bar who helped me choose which gin to have (as there is such an array!) and it was lovely!

We were then shown to our table and the waitress was an absolute dream! She discussed the whole menu with us and helped us select our dishes from the tapas menu, when the food arrived, I initially thought that it wouldn't be enough but it was so filling and I definitely couldn't have eaten another dish! The waitress would top our wine up without being promoted, but not overpower herself and asked if we were ok when it was necessary. I would be confident to say that this was the best service I have ever received when dining out, and for my partner to whip out a tip without grumbling, then that definitely means something!

I have friends coming to visit me on Saturday and so I will definitely be bringing them here for a couple of G&T's!

Great atmosphere, fabulous cocktails & food to die for .... highly recommended!

Great Tapas in a fab setting. We really enjoyed the food. Quick and friendly service. The bar downstairs was also great with a brilliant choice of gins and helpful bar staff �

User

Amazing food great portions and no issue being Gluten Free plus the gin selection is amazing �

User

Absolutely delicious food with a really good variety to chose from. All beautifully presented and cooked. We ordered 3 dishes each and found we'd over ordered, we couldn't finish it all.

The gin bar was great, fun advice from the knowledgable bar man and he helped us chose well.

We were also hugely impressed by the perfectly spot on service. From the moment we opened the door we were looked after and welcomed. We were escorted to the gin bar and enjoyed around 20 minutes there before we were invited to our table and taken there. Our waitress was fantastic, knowledgable about all the dishes and wines and advised us well. I hope that never goes because service like this is rare !

A fabulous place and we've already booked to return �

User

Overall good experience, waitress knowledgeable, service good, food mostly tasty and interesting, patatas bravas tasted burnt, air con blasting down so food went cold quickly, should have asked to move tables, very dark, probably wouldn't go back purely because I know of other tapas restaurants which aren't as pricey and food as good and better

User

I can't fault the quality of the food, as it's really good. But £5.85 for one boiled egg with 4 pieces of asparagus is a little too pricey. One wine, one Coke, some meats and 4 pieces of thinly sliced cheeses accompanied with 3 small tapas dishes turned out to be £50. A tad expensive place to take my 13 year old daughter for lunch 😳

User

Great gin and tonic. Good cheese and crackers. Distinctly average tapas.

User

Great atmosphere and food generally very good although agree, expensive for what it is. Why not consider some set menus of 2-3 dishes with half a bottle of wine each for £25? Would still make a profit and might attract me back!

User

Although the food was good and the service was excellent, we were very disappointed at the size of the portions. I have eaten in tapas bars on numerous occasions in Spain (my son lives there) and I think they would be embarrassed to serve just three croquetas!

User

I’m a huge tapas fan and been to lots of other tapas restaurants, heard great things about Pintura and been excited to go for ages ... compared to other similarly priced tapas restaurants, the food was no where near on par - some dishes were overly salty or the mushroom paella was over truffle-oiled which ruined all other flavours and the rest was quite bland.

Great wine and really lovely service though made this visit not a total wash out, but overall I was hugely disappointed by my first visit to Pintura.

User

Came here last night with my partner, we had been here before but almost 2 years ago. We were really looking forward to it until the food came to the table. The waiting staff were great really friendly and helpful but 4 of our dishes were cold, we had a beef dish and a pork dish which were that cold I couldn’t eat them. The calamari was one of the worst things I’ve ever had! The Patatas bravas was terrible, the potatoes were dark and way over cooked... tasted a lot like chips that have been re heated the day after in a chip shop!! There were a lot of faults but the cheese croquettes were the highlight as always. Extremely disappointed at the quality of the food last night. Standards have totally dropped since our last visit. Don’t think we’ll visit again
