Harvey Nicols, Leeds (Breakfast)


Let’s face it unless you have more money than sense you only go into Harvey Nicks when you want the door opened for you. When you go in and say thank you to the doorman you automatically know you are a bit common. It’s like entering the twilight zone where you are too scared to touch the merchandise lest you smash that £1000 bottle of perfume.
My mum had had brunch recommended to her by a colleague, so after taking out a small bank loan in anticipation we set off to Leeds. After being informed that you could only get brunch on a Sunday we settled for breakfast.  The café is on the top floor with a wonderful view over the roof tops of the centre of Leeds. As we were the only people in the café for the majority of the time there we got the window seat. The staff were friendly and attentive (well we were the only people in!).The food also arrived quickly and was tasty.
There wasn’t a huge selection of food but what it lacked in quantity it made up for in quality. We both had a Welsh Rarebit and a Portobello mushroom on brioche. It was incredibly tasty, I don’t know what type of cheese it used but it was delicious. The portion was relatively small but the mushrooms succulent and   it was incredibly rich so you don’t need to have anything else with it. I also had a pot of tea which again was very nice. 
The biggest surprise was the price for the rarebit and a cup of tea it cost £8 plus a service charge. I would definitely go again and recommend it to everyone.
