"Swapping the top of Trinity for the top of the pristine Victoria Gate, we have Japanese rooftop restaurant Issho.

If you’re not a fan of beer, they also offer spirits, or a healthier alternative in green tea!"

"Teppanyaki is famous for its theatrical preparation of hot dishes on their grill-top tables, but did you know they also did delicious sushi?. They have all the usual fish options, like salmon, tuna and prawn, but it’s the experimental combinations that set them apart. There’s spicy chicken katsu maki and mango California rolls, the latter of which gives the raw fish an irresistible burst of sweetness."

"I have no idea why because it’s always been there, I love Japanese food and it’s not like it’s out of the way. But for some strange reason, I’m yet to visit. However, I’m including it because they do serve sushi and I promise that I’m going to visit soon, in the name of blog research of course."

"Sultry in its own right, you'll find all the Hotel du Vin hallmarks inside this low-level, pale-rendered building: slate and wooden floors, charcoal-grey walls, moody black-and-white photographs, tan leather armchairs with splashes of cherry red and aubergine in cushions and footstools. This style continues to the rooms and many of the bathrooms have freestanding baths. The French brasserie-style dining-room is all terracotta and sage-green walls, semi-private side-booths framed by wool curtains and softly glowing brass table lamps; cooking is confident and portions are generous."

"Hotel du Vin & Bistro York offers luxury and quality that should impress even the most discerning guest. Bedrooms are stylish, and bathrooms feature huge monsoon showers and roll-top baths. Dinner in the bistro is a memorable highlight."

"Address & map:27 Vinery Rd, Burley, Leeds LS4 2LB, United Kingdom. Sometimes leg stretches don’t require a vast green space, particularly for the little-limbed pals among us. In those cases, Burley Park is a city centre salvation: a small dog-friendly park that provides enough good smells for even the most inquisitive of pups–particularly those still on the lead–as well as frisbee space for the older members of the clan."

The maze of crisscrossed paths offers a wealth of walking opportunities, but it also has a range of sports facilities. Basketball and tennis courts sit alongside a skate park and bowling green, giving you plenty of outdoor entertainment options in the summer months."
