Turtle Bay Leeds

You walk into this bright, beach-shack styled spot in The Light and immediately feel like you've stepped off Headrow into the heart of Jamaica. The walls are painted in sunset oranges and ocean blues, with reggae floating through the air and the smoky scent of their jerk pit drawing you deeper inside. The kitchen knows what it's doing with Caribbean classics – their jerk chicken has that perfect char and spice balance that makes your eyes water in the best way, while the curry goat is rich and tender enough to convert even the most reluctant. But it's the cocktail list that really sets this place apart from Leeds' usual offerings. Their rum selection is extensive and the bartenders actually understand how to balance a proper punch. Yes, it's a chain, but they've nailed the formula here.
